Chapter 7, Protection

In a hotel where etiquette is awkwardly emphasized, it is not easy to feel full when faced with a dish of stewed sheep's eyes

Laim gazed at Fulan, while the assistant prosecutor calmly endured the scrutiny of the inspector's gaze. After a moment, the inspector called out loudly to the door, "Secretary, bring a glass of water for Mr. Fler. Additionally, inform the agents that the meeting will be postponed by one hour."

What if I can make him come out voluntarily?" said Fran

According to the seller's confession, the young nephew of the Earl is currently lying quietly three feet underground in an unknown grove. A person with a severely injured head would certainly remain quiet in such a place

Secular laws have no influence over the people favored by God. From the Pope to the lowest-ranking priest, they all calmly believe that only religious courts and inquisitions have the authority to judge them

Although the Attorney General Camilo greatly appreciates him and has expressed support for him to remain in the First Court, Fran cautiously thanked him for this commitment, hoping that everything would proceed according to the rules

Even the foreman is proficient in several foreign languages and conducts himself with elegant gentlemanly manners

If the Holy See confines this understanding to its internal affairs, it would certainly be a cause for great joy for all

Certainly, it is better for a magician to owe you a favor than for you to owe a favor to the magician

"A magician is not a police dog; one cannot expect me to sniff out the whereabouts of the culprit." After working hard for several days, William tossed out this remark and returned to the world of magic and alchemy.

This lack of consideration for others greatly irritates the agents of the patrol team at all levels

However, this young lady seems to have a strong interest in Fulan, regarding her as a worthy friend to associate with in the First Court, and their dinner progresses intermittently.

This young woman pursues perfection in everything she does, to the point of being meticulous.

Thus, the murderer spent twenty years peacefully in the church

The three-month probation period is coming to an end, and Fulan is looking forward to her position

However, during deep contemplation, a state of stillness can cause your mind to experience a blockage akin to constipation. We have reason to believe that the king, who is recorded to have knelt naked before the Pope's chamber for three days and nights, before making a painful decision, would frantically smash everything within reach, sighing helplessly as he paced back and forth in the room

Although one must now live the life of a hermit, those who are at their wits' end will still choose this path at the last moment. To live and continue to experience the sunrise and sunset is far better than to kiss the eternally damp blade of the guillotine.

This place is also quite nice; although it is an apartment building, the view of the street outside the window from a height is truly beautiful

The black cross carriage is a special carriage used by bishops of the Holy See, named for the black cross painted on its carriage. Surrounding the carriage and forcing the occupants to disembark is considered a provocation

Laimken is certain that he heard it wrong and misread the book, "Can you?"

In the human world, laws constrain the behavior of the majority, allowing society to return to order in a relatively fair manner

The testimony of this murderer is crucial to a case that Fran is handling

Please ask him to come in, but kindly inform him in advance, as I am busy and can only spare a quarter of an hour for this gentleman

Any non-pagan, even the most notorious criminal, can obtain inviolable protection by touching the cross on the door, loudly proclaiming "I seek refuge," and then dedicating all their possessions to the Sign of Light

It would be best to become a direct prosecutor of the First Court; if that is not possible, working at a district court is also acceptable. It may be a bit challenging, but one could privately seek a few part-time jobs to ensure that the salary is sufficient to rent a spacious apartment with a small balcony.

Compared to them, Fran seems to feel that her taste and knowledge are somewhat inferior

Fulan had once commissioned a real estate agent to inquire about properties and, during her leisure time, also examined several houses recommended by the agent. These included the former residences of nobility as well as vacant units in newly developed apartments, all of which were quite appealing

Similarly, if a man has reached climax four times in bed, then when he can only manage three times, he will elicit looks of disdain and pity from his lover

"What brings you here?" Lime gestured for them to sit down and asked directly

If Fulan were to learn of these speculations, he would likely smile wryly to himself. Mr. William once tested his talent out of boredom and bluntly remarked, "Your affinity for the arcane is no different from that of a stone"

After being stung by the girl's sharp tongue a few times, Fran gave up trying.

Until one day, a member of the privateering crew, who had incurred high-interest debts due to gambling, was forced to sell a gold button engraved with four black upright lions, after which the hero became a wanted criminal

Mr. Flare, the assistant prosecutor of the First Court, wishes to meet with you

Regarding the murder of the Earl of Redford's nephew twenty years ago, in which the murderer evaded capture using the principle of sanctuary, I would like to seek some advice. Fran also does not have the habit of engaging in pleasantries before discussing serious matters.

Several consecutive nights of four times can leave him with a sore back and aching waist

No matter how exquisitely a puppet is wrapped in gold leaf, even if it plays the role of an emperor on stage, it cannot escape the fate of being manipulated by strings

"You are a clever person, and I like clever people, or rather, the Rheinshman family likes clever people," Peggy suddenly said after several dinners

Could it be that this newcomer named Fulan is a relative of the master? Or perhaps, due to his talent, he has been chosen to become a magic apprentice

For Fran, the fiery gifts from the little wildcat have become increasingly difficult to withstand

If we have another hour, we can discuss my plan in detail

When the rumors reached An Mei's ears, the little wildcat curiously asked questions here and there. With no way to escape the incessant inquiries, Fu Lan had no choice but to use her mouth and tongue to silence the incessant chatter.

No matter the circumstance, when a person has a magician standing behind them, it signifies that their future is boundless

At first glance, Peggy appears to be an arrogant young lady, treating those around her with disdain and maintaining a sufficient distance from everyone. However, Fran senses that this is merely an illusion. He realizes that the young woman is profoundly lonely within.

The day after tomorrow afternoon, at the police headquarters, Inspector Lime received a notification from his personal secretary

Now even the apprentice of the assistant prosecutor has come knocking, and Lime impatiently took a sip of water, temporarily changing his decision, "Ten minutes is enough for him."

"We need to find a way to bring him out." Fulan closed the case file, frowning in thought

He is a person who gets things done, thought Fulan

Each waiter is proficient in articulating the flavor profile of wines from specific vintages and the types of food that pair well with them; regarding which type of beverage should be tasted more on the right side of the mouth or the left side, which is preferable

No one dares to enter the monastery to carry out arrests, "the church is the heavenly kingdom on earth, where the divine resides and acts," and the Holy See absolutely does not permit the violation of divine authority

Uh, you flatter me too much

"Oh, dear sir, wait for me in hell; perhaps I will visit you sixty years from now," Fran said, tidying up the documents, responding listlessly, as he had no desire to celebrate his victory

Indeed, that was the case. Lem recalled, "At that time, I was just an ordinary member of the patrol team, but there was nothing I could do; the church had the right of sanctuary."

His relationship with this magician is merely one of simple human kindness

The most renowned is the right of asylum

In the first court, Fran is increasingly gaining attention, and people are astonished to discover that he has also won the friendship of that magician

Fulan began to avoid excessive non-business contact with Peggy, as being prudent is a fundamental principle for survival in a new environment

After this, during gatherings, Peggy always treated him to the stew of sheep's eyes that she thought was "quite good".

Happiness always makes everything lively

Norsen Philip Knight is precisely the kind of person who makes such choices

Master William has always been a cold figure, often misunderstood by others. When he greeted a court clerk warmly, everyone pondered the significance of this gesture

Heaven knows how Fran managed to swallow one round eyeball after another

Certainly, a person seeking asylum can only live in the monastery for their entire life; stepping out of the door signifies the expiration of their right to asylum

Human beings are a race that easily forgets suffering. Within less than half a month, the fear brought about by the series of murders in Feidu gradually became an interesting topic to pass the time at the dinner table. People speculated about the identity of the murderer while mocking the detective team's ability to solve the case

Accompanying the little wild cat they went to together, every place they arrived at filled her with excitement, and from her beautiful big eyes, Fulan saw the starlight of dreams

Thus, at the critical moment, Fulan acted with great caution, seeking to avoid unfavorable troubles

In summary, as long as Philip does not voluntarily walk out of the church with a swagger, he will be able to evade justice. Inspector Lime glanced at his watch, preparing to conclude this conversation

This has left a shadow on men's self-esteem. The witty remarks elicited applause from the audience, and the undefeated legal representative, young, handsome, and single, all contributed to the soaring popularity of Fran

The girl has a good skill in making coffee, which pairs perfectly with the cake. Holding the small box from the pastry shop, Fran thought happily, her steps becoming increasingly light.

Before the patrol team and the enraged private guards of the count set off, the astute knight had already taken refuge in the cathedral of Fidu with several boxes of treasure

The person who instigated this crime is none other than the Knight of Norsen

However, it is evident that the Holy See has influenced and obstructed the rule of law

"Please consider this, Reinshman never disappoints those who are loyal," Peggy said as the carriage started moving, leaning her head out of the compartment

Fortunately, the midnight butcher seemed to have vanished from the world, not making another move.

The wealth brought a smile to the bishop of the church, and he proclaimed sanctimoniously that the Seal of Light had protected this sinner. He would dedicate the entirety of his remaining life to atoning for his sins within the church

It must be acknowledged that Philip Knight is a very alert individual. My agent noticed that he often rides out in a black cross carriage at night. However, as is well known, the Vatican claims that the carriage is also an extension of the church, and since he never disembarks, it is impossible to apprehend him

Even the wrath of a count cannot shake the divine authority

"How is this braised lamb eye? It was specially ordered," Peggy asked. "It looks a bit disgusting, but it tastes good. I quite like it."

If a knight knocks down a group of opponents in the arena, his supporters will demand that he perform the same way in the next competition; if a merchant sells discounted goods one day, customers will complain that the items at their original price are too expensive

Stepping out of the luxurious hotel on Diamond Street, the carriage adorned with a subtle depiction of the golden fleur-de-lis was parked at the entrance. Passersby regarded the two fine horses pulling the carriage with appreciative glances. Those with discerning eyes might secretly marvel; although they were not purebred horses, they were at least descendants of purebreds within three generations. Using them to pull a carriage is indeed an act of extravagance

Fulan did not know how many streets she had crossed

Find a tactful reason to decline. Fulang decided, and then at the corner, he stopped. The cream puffs and chocolate cakes in the shop window were exuding an enticingly appetizing sheen

The house, truly unlike an old residence with over 40 years of history, is maintained in such perfect condition. I love the roses in the area behind it.

The world has quieted down once again, and the anxious expressions of the citizens are no longer visible. Aside from the patrol team leader, who has gained a few more gray hairs due to pressure from above, everyone else is quite satisfied

It is not his obligation to teach the young lady of a noble family about the ways of the world, and the gossip in the court has increased. The ambiguous relationship between a low-ranking noble and a high-society debutante has quickly spread throughout the First Court

Each monastery and cathedral has a wooden cross hanging from the eaves of the back door, serving as a symbol of safety for those in flight

Many people believe that furrowing one's brow, resting one's chin on one's hand, and sitting quietly in contemplation are gestures filled with wisdom. Therefore, in the recitations of wandering poets, one often hears verses like this: "The king of Tyre sits quietly, his gaze piercing through the farthest clouds, wild thoughts struggling and churning in his mind, the crumbling authority, the tilting crown, he is about to have nothing. From sunrise to sunset, the king's frozen body finally trembles slightly, he leaves the throne, instructs his attendants, and proceeds into the snowy night, seeking forgiveness in the sacred Anno." "The king of Tyre sits quietly, his gaze piercing through the farthest clouds, wild thoughts struggling and churning in his mind, the crumbling authority, the tilting crown, he is about to have nothing. From sunrise to sunset, the king's frozen body finally trembles slightly, he leaves the throne, instructs his attendants, and proceeds into the snowy night, seeking forgiveness in the sacred Anno."

That gold button was originally meant to belong to a young member of the Count's family. This member, a few years ago, disappeared along with a retinue while traveling, taking with him a belt full of gold coins, and has not been seen in public since.

"Buy some pastries for Anmei; she loves desserts." Counting the change in his wallet, Fulan walked into the pastry shop, and the sweet aroma immediately enveloped him, stirring his empty stomach once again.

Gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, jealousy; humanity is always plagued by a myriad of insatiable desires

He once organized a privateering crew to harass and plunder the merchant convoys of enemy nations, and in the eyes of the Byronians, he was a hero. At the banquet, the numerous scars on Norsen's body often drew exclamations of admiration from the ladies.

In the case files of the First Court, Norsen is depicted as a cruel and greedy adventurer, for whom the spirit of nobility and chivalry is evidently a joke

It seems that this young lady has a particular fondness for intelligent individuals

Thus, every time they ordered, Fran remained silent, watching Peggy seriously contemplate whether to choose goat cheese or blue cheese while sipping on wine that had been aged for three to four years

In fact, the Count regarded this as the most tragic disgrace of the family. There is evidence to suggest that he once contemplated using bribery to have the church expel the murderer, but no clergyman would have the audacity to accept such a blatant transaction

The source of the trouble is that lady of the Plantagenet family.

Fulan answered cautiously, aware of the young lady's intention to recruit. The Rheinshman family has always regarded talent as the foundation for the prosperity and survival of the family

Four black upright lions, the coat of arms of the Earl of Hotchpotch

Lime does not like dealing with the Attorney General; these bureaucrats, who never stand at the forefront, always complain excessively. "Heavens, I am about to go to court, haven't you found the suspect's accomplice yet?" they always say in a dismissive manner. If they do catch someone, they will say, "Oh, the criminal is in your hands; extracting more evidence from their mouth shouldn't be too difficult, right"

Thus, with the establishment of laws, courts, and judges, humanity also fears being consumed by its own insatiable desires

Ten seconds later, Fran opened the door to Lime's office. Detective Lime, around fifty years old, had a robust build and an imposing expression, clearly hailing from a distinguished knightly family with a rich tradition

"Devil, you cunning devil!" the criminal shouted in despair at Fran when he was sentenced to life imprisonment

If even the most just court is influenced by personal relationships, then what in this world can still be trusted

Even the will of the king must be constrained by the law

Peggy shook her wrist slightly, and the waiter standing in a corner of the salon hurriedly approached with a silver kettle, refilling the empty cup with reddish-brown honey tea. The young woman took a satisfying sip and then said, "Power, wealth, and personal desires will always render reality helpless. You are exceptionally talented, but when you are gray-haired and still struggling for a living, continuing to gaze longingly at the position that should rightfully belong to you but is occupied by monkeys, regret will completely shatter you. However, Rheinshman will make this regret cease to exist." You are exceptionally talented, but when you are gray-haired and still struggling for a living, continuing to gaze longingly at the position that should rightfully belong to you but is occupied by monkeys, regret will completely shatter you. However, Rheinshman will make this regret cease to exist.

However, the Holy See is an exception

Fulan believes that the suspect he is about to accuse was a member of the Northam privateering crew in the past

On several occasions, Peggy would invite him to dinner, often at the most renowned hotels on Diamond Street. The quality of the waitstaff alone was enough to suggest that the reputation was indeed well-deserved

Sometimes, Fulan would advise her to be more friendly towards her colleagues, but the young lady expressed her disdain and said, "If one cannot be sufficiently excellent and lives life in ignorance, what difference is there between such a person and a monkey? Why should I treat a monkey kindly?"

The night is very gloomy, with dark clouds obscuring the moon since dusk. Fran stands by the street, preparing to find an available carriage to go home, but after a while, he decides to walk back instead

"I really wish to move in soon; Grandma has yet to enjoy such a large bedroom." After bidding farewell to the real estate agent, An Mei sighed with lingering feelings, then stood outside with Fu Lan, captivated as they gazed at the dream house until night fell

The texture... hmm, the texture is quite wonderful, rather good. Out of politeness, Fulan smiled wryly as she spoke

Those are the insects on delicate flowers, the wildfires that consume all, leaving behind only fragmented petals and charred, hopeless wasteland after their wanton destruction

Young prosecutors all dream of one day becoming significant figures, but becoming a vassal of a certain family, substituting the interests of that family for judicial fairness and freedom, is not his pursuit
