Chapter 181: 180. Devil's Advocate (1)

The court was a marble building boasting the aesthetic architecture with the carved pillars and arched ceiling.

There were a lot of people gathered outside the building and most of them were commoners, there was also a line of carriages of the nobles who were currently attending the trial.

I had purposely gone a little late as I knew a lot of attention was already gathered for this particular incident but I had made preparations for my entry.

The defendant from Baron Oberon's side was Earl Ludwig Clive, Luke's father who was also an advocate by profession and I had asked him to become a stand in until I arrive with the real piece of evidence.

He had agreed solely because I had protected his son and their family's dignity, and he also knew that I was basically trimming the Esmertia family one by one.
