章節 579: 579 A Reaver Trial

"Are the guards not going to escort them to the trial as a group?" The Giant envoy asked as the assembled officers watched the camera feed of the hallway from the holding cells to the courtroom.

"No, it is a Reaver tradition. The accused is allowed to dress in their own clothes and walk themselves with dignity to the trial." Nico explained quietly.

"Still, there are no guards in that hallway, the accused appears to have a weapon, and there are two open side passages. Isn't this tradition too reckless for such a serious crime?" He continued.

"Just watch. This is a very important tradition; you will see why soon."

The first man walked with measured strides to the courtroom and took his seat with his chin up, not speaking a word. Once he was seated, his sidearm was taken by the security officers, who then returned to their positions along the wall.
