Chapter 9, Position
Fulan is utterly disgusted by this condescending tone that assumes a position of dominance
This alone is irrefutable evidence of his pact with the devil
But I did not agree
"The promiscuous whore," Ai Er cursed inwardly with resentment. He had spent a considerable amount of money and made numerous connections, and a certain chief prosecutor from the First Court had already nodded in agreement to recommend him, yet the opportunity had unexpectedly fallen to Fu Lan.
But this means that he still has to live in the old apartment in the old district
As he left, the deputy judge glared at Fulan with malice, vowing that at the appropriate opportunity, he would take ruthless revenge.
If there were a mirror, Fran would be surprised to find that the reflection of herself is filled with hope and longing in her eyes
On the day before the end of her internship, Fulan received a private letter from Count Rekuber.
Taking a deep breath, Fulan felt an inexplicable surge of warmth coursing through his entire body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. His lips were so hot that they seemed to be on fire, and with each syllable he uttered, a sharp, burning sensation accompanied it.
Fulan felt a bit dizzy, and in a daze, he took the badge representing the Chief Prosecutor of the First Court. In his blurred vision, the exquisite purple badge, intricately carved with the Tianping pattern, seemed to be smiling at him.
"Madam Flare, what is good about the manor? It cannot be managed without hiring a few servants," the merchant exclaimed. "Moreover, your husband works in the city. If you rent a country manor, you will also need to buy a carriage, which would be an unnecessary expense."
"Sinner, stop dawdling. I hope the Holy Flame can lead you to repentance," the escorting paladin said with disdain as he glanced at Leo and scolded him
Every year, many assistant prosecutors and trainee judges report for duty, but very few manage to pass the three-month probation period
For truly significant individuals, the position of a prosecutor may merely be that of an ordinary mid-level civil servant
Fulan looked at Peggy in surprise for a while, "What right do you have to intervene in my life?"
You ... ... "Fulan gritted her teeth, trembling with anger
There, his loyal servant is hiding, along with the sacred relics that were once offered in the holy city, including the Eternal Cabinet, which was bestowed upon the first pope of the Holy See by the Seal of Light.
All dreams have become reality at this moment
In the letter, he was depicted by the Count as an unparalleled strategist, and the ornate language and titles made Fran feel rather uncomfortable. In the end, the Count warmly invited him to visit the territory of the Prussian—Herkus family during his leisure time
More importantly, what position will one ultimately hold?
Peggy's actions infuriated him; no one wishes to have their fate manipulated by others
It is estimated that in the shadows, the papal chamber has dispatched several groups of people, filtering through the streets and alleys of the city like cleaning a carpet
The oath-taking ceremony was presided over by the Attorney General Milan, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, a high nose bridge, prominent cheekbones, and a serious, stern expression. However, his slightly sunken eyes always conveyed a look of disdain towards others.
The oath-taking hall is probably the least utilized area of the first court
The bureaucrats' ability to perceive wealth is not significantly inferior to that of merchants
Anyone can hear that An Mei's voice contains a fondness for this room
As the searing flames engulfed Leo's body, igniting him into a blazing torch, His Excellency the Precursor Machine Bishop did not show the slightest expression of pain. Through the curtain of red and platinum flames, Leo gazed indifferently towards the east
Now, please take the oath
This text appears to be incomplete or consists solely of symbols. Please provide a complete sentence or text for translation.
At this point, the glances exchanged among the men were tinged with a hint of hostility
Others may not think so; they have already categorized you as part of the Rheinshman faction
Oh, a monkey is jealous; this position originally belonged to him. Peggy said without any hesitation, lightly, "I think you are more suitable, so I just greeted him up there"
The nail did not penetrate the flesh as smoothly as imagined, biting into the bone with a creaking sound of metal friction. Some bent nails barely managed to connect Leo's limbs to the wooden frame
Feeling something, Fulan looked at Aier's back with confusion
He believes that even if His Holiness the Pope were to personally perform divine magic, he would still be unable to locate the deeply hidden sacred artifact
The Earl's Fran is not at all a figure within the circles of high society and aristocracy.
The letter does not bear the personal seal of the Earl, indicating that it was written by a certain butler or steward
Congratulations. The girl with the illustrated book actively extended her hand to Fulan, and at the moment of the handshake, she leaned in slightly and whispered, "Stay calm, don't let the outdated monkeys make a fool of you."
"Perhaps she was satisfied in bed." Al cast a lewd glance at Peggy, swallowed hard, and reluctantly accepted the appointment letter
The entire thought process took only five seconds, and he decided to give up
Anmei did not come over for the night today. Fulan, who is accustomed to falling asleep while holding the little wild cat, found himself somewhat unaccustomed to it.
In the eyes of the nobility, noble and ancient bloodlines are more important than anything else
And it will be the key to its own resurrection
However, for those about to be executed, today is not a good day
Everyone wishes to remain in the First Court, as the opportunities for promotion, salary, and benefits in the noble court are significantly better than those in the smaller regional courts
The same oil-soaked hemp rope tightly bound Leo to the pillar, and his body was drenched in tar and resin. To prevent the condemned from escaping the burning pyre due to unbearable pain, several shiny little steel nails were also driven into the joints.
The five assistant prosecutors have gathered, and except for Peggy, everyone else appears quite tense
The moon hung at the tip of the branches, and the night gradually deepened. After extinguishing the crystal lamp, Fulan lay in bed, yet could not fall asleep no matter what.
Placing his hand on the Stone Codex, Furan closed his eyes and softly recited, "... I, Furan Flare, solemnly swear by my honor to remain faithful to justice and to never falter."
I truly do not understand what tricks the young man named Flair used to win over this noble lady, compelling her to spare no effort in seeking a future for her lover
Mr. Flair, your judgment is impeccable. This apartment was built only three years ago, and the decor and furniture are about eighty percent new. If you move in, you won't even need to buy chairs. The real estate agent patted the brownish-yellow sofa beneath him and boasted, "If I had five thousand gold Caesars, I would definitely buy it instead of renting."
Leo Angtes squinted his eyes, having spent over half a year in the dark, lightless water prison. Even the faintest glimmer of light was a rare stimulus for eyes that had grown accustomed to the darkness
"To love someone is to give her a large house filled with roses," many mediocre poets have said this
He has dedicated nearly eight years to the pursuit of knowledge through books and has finally become a true prosecutor
Oh, I actually think that a manor is better than an apartment building, at least it is quieter" An Mei mischievously winked at Fu Lan, indicating that he should not interrupt, "You see, this way is good, the monthly rent will be reduced by fifty silver coins.
Unfortunately, the Attorney General quickly shifted his gaze away and continued, "Peggy Tang Leinschman and Fran Flare, please do not betray the trust of the First Court"
Closing his eyes, Leo let out a silent sigh
I have said that Reinshman never disappoints those who are loyal
At the conclusion of the swearing-in ceremony, Milan revealed the answer that men most wanted to know
No, it is not merely resurrection; at that time, he will possess a body that even the gods envy, perfect and imperishable, an immortal form that freezes time within it
A family that has only been passed down for three generations, with each generation's noble title declining by one rank, is undoubtedly seen as a tasteless nouveau riche, especially as they face the possibility of losing even their noble status.
From El's perspective, the two appeared like a couple in their first love, embracing each other in a somewhat reluctant manner.
A cool breeze brushed against the curtains on either side of the window. "Forget it," Fran said to himself. He truly wanted to give up or apply to the Chief Prosecutor to be reassigned to the small court.
Watching one's own body gradually turn into a pile of smoking char is indeed a very nauseating experience
If a painter wishes to create an oil painting themed around bureaucracy, Milan would be the most suitable model
Referred to as Lady Flare, An Mei's cheeks were tinged with an alluring blush. The little wildcat suddenly found the chubby face of the real estate developer in front of her much more endearing. She quickly glanced at Fulan and, in high spirits, continued to negotiate, "Alright, then let's reduce it by twenty silver yiao. At the very least, the carpet must be replaced with a new one; you can take the old one away."
Let the fire burn even brighter, he thought
The nearby stake for burning had just been erected, and the oil-soaked straw emitted an unpleasant odor. A cross-shaped wooden frame, half the height of a person, loomed amidst the pile of straw. The horizontal end of the frame was carved in the shape of a sword, while the vertical end resembled a hammer with a nail head. Leo halted his steps, gazing at the flag draped over the straw pile, depicting the sword and hammer. This was a gift from the Holy See, used only in the ritual to signify the exceptional status of the condemned when burning high-ranking clergy who had fallen from grace.
Although the young lady's willfulness displeased Fran greatly, there is one thing he must thank Peggy for
In other words, among the four men currently standing in the witness box, three will be eliminated
The next morning, as Fran stepped into the office, she received a notification to gather at the swearing-in court
He will serve as the acting chief judge of the Thirteenth Court in the old district, which can be considered a favorable position. If only the word 'acting' could be removed.
"What is there to see?" Peggy asked, having just made plans with Fran to celebrate at a restaurant on Diamond Street.
At least they did not say this sentence incorrectly
Everything will depend on tomorrow murmured Fran in the darkness
The oath-taking hall is an open space situated between the corridor and the building, with the ground covered in black pebbles. In the garden, there are no common flowers or shrubs; instead, there is a sculpture of a codex, half the height of a person, carved from marble, positioned in the center.
Al Duna seemed somewhat dissatisfied; just now, the gaze he directed at me was cold and filled with hatred. Fulan furrowed his brow, as he could not recall when he had offended him.
Peggy idly played with her badge, tilting her head to glance at Fran, a faint smile on her lips.
Al believes that Peggy is the one causing the trouble
Alright, at least those with the capability have received appropriate positions, the monkeys roll into the small yard to eat bananas, everything is perfect, isn't it? Peggy shrugged indifferently, "Remember the appointment tonight, you have already offended quite a few people, please do not provoke Reinshman’s resentment."
The fire seemed to burn even larger, and Leo Angertes suddenly felt a bit impatient. Although he had long removed the tedious sensation of pain from his body, this also meant that he would not quickly lose consciousness due to excruciating pain
Casually tossing the letter into the drawer, Fran contemplated whether a reply was necessary
Adjusting the expression on his face, Fulan took a deep breath, striving to organize the tangled thoughts in his mind. He turned around, ready to give his lover a big hug
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. "Sigh, the rent still hasn't gone down; that real estate developer is too good at bargaining," An Mei muttered as she walked up.
"Look at your sinful body, how blasphemous it is. Only after enduring the torment of purgatory for ten thousand years can your sins be redeemed." The paladin was secretly alarmed; the skin of this fallen one completely defied the laws of nature, as if it were forged from the metals of hell.
It seems that I am also a monkey who cannot resist temptation, disregarding everything for a banana. Furlan chuckled bitterly, striking the wall hard, the solid bricks causing a dull pain to radiate through his elbow.
As for the invitation to visit the territory, it is merely a formality
With a sense of anticipation and slight nervousness, like the paws of a kitten, my thoughts are incessantly stirred, somewhat elusive.
Even if this fate is beneficial to oneself
In the farthest reaches of the east, where the line of sight cannot reach, there is a city named Feidu
It seems that everyone in a position of responsibility has this kind of appearance
The salary of the prosecutor directly under the First Court makes having a house with a small balcony no longer a dream
The quota for the first court in the first half of the year is two
Odrial Mountains, Inquisition Hall, Square
Fulan climbed up to the fourth floor using the small staircase against the left wall, pushed open the street-facing window, and found the air on the fourth floor to be much better than at ground level. Every night, when dusk falls and the streetlights are lit, enjoying the night view from this window is simply delightful
Yet in the eyes of the fallen lord, it represents a glamorous future and the dreams of life
For the great nobility, such a letter of gratitude is merely a matter of courtesy
The solemn Noble First Court will welcome two new colleagues today. They are '', Milan paused, directing his gaze at El, the son of the court's affairs director, who excitedly puffed out his chest, eagerly anticipating Milan to continue speaking.
The gentle breeze dissipated the mist of dawn, while the sun lazily emitted a soft glow, all foretelling that today would be a pleasant and comfortable day
Subtracting Peggy, this young lady of the Reinschman family firmly occupies a spot without fail
After much consideration, the Copper Dome Apartment on the fourth floor of 37 Ram Street became Fulang's new home. The street outside the apartment is bustling with activity, and by opening the window, one can see the famous fountain in the square just a few dozen meters away. Fulang rented a duplex room spanning from the third to the fourth floor, featuring six windows and an arched balcony.
The persistent sound of An Mei bargaining with the real estate developer came from downstairs, but the outcome was certainly destined to end with the compromise of the little wildcat
Then it will cost a sum of money; the person signing this appointment letter truly has mastered the art of amassing wealth
