Chương 95: Chapter 94 "Kick Someone When They're Down

Several judges of the Royal Court of Justice immediately stepped aside, allowing Count Vadier, the presiding judge of the High Court, to come forward. Trembling, he read the verdict again, signed his name, and stamped it.

Immediately, voices of dissatisfaction and protest arose from the crowd of onlookers:

"Judicial authority! The Royal Court of Justice must have judicial authority!"

"We can't let those shameless judges judge themselves!"

"The guys from the High Court only cover each other's backs!"

"Exactly! They are not qualified! Let the Royal Court of Justice conduct the trial!"

After a few people took the lead, the call rapidly grew into a chant of thousands, with the term "judicial authority" soaring to the skies.
