A strange world

Chapter 1301 Section 223. Accusation

"You're here."

Commander Raymond looked at Annan.

As the low words rang out, the buzz echoing in the parliament hall disappeared.

Hundreds of eyes looked at the three Annans standing at the door at the same time.

Annan asked Elimoas and Black Widow to follow the guards to the side seats. They stood opposite Lord Raymond with their thoughtful eyes and glanced around casually.

"It's more formal than I thought."

"After all, you represent the territory and the empire."

Although Commander Raymond is greedy, he is not stupid - the more people know about this matter, the more Annan will have no excuse to refute, and even the empire will suffer a loss here.

As for why he thought the empire would obediently pay for it, it was foolish at best.

The only problem is, he got two things wrong:

Annan is not a soft persimmon, and Joan is not an imperial princess.

Commander Raymond's second...eldest son, Elvis Raymond, presided over the trial.

He wore a close-fitting old-style aristocratic dress inlaid with gold, and his appearance was similar to that of his father, reminding many people of the old Commander Raymond.

The commander-in-chief at that time also carried the same pride and publicity.

"This parliament is about five items of questioning regarding Annan Reeves, the Lord of Free City, who connived with the Imperial Princess and his men to cause destruction in the Broken Mountains, attack nobles, and massacre villages."

"Annan Reeves, do you admit it?"

The young voice echoed in the ceremony hall, and the snowy scene outside the window gave the parliament hall a touch of paleness and desolation.

"Of course I..."

Annan made eye contact with Ilimoyas, who was sitting at the side table: "I don't admit it."

There was a murmur in the council seats.

"Quiet."

The restoration of silence in the council hall made Elvis Raymond's breathing become imperceptibly heavier.

Covering up his addiction to power, he continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we have collected enough evidence."

"First, the first question, witness Killian Raymond."

Killian Raymond walked to the diagonal corner of Annan with a complicated expression and avoided his eyes: "I accuse the imperial princess of leading the blue dragon to attack my territory, causing a large number of casualties to my soldiers and territorial citizens. Prisoners were let go and wealth was looted..."

"Can you drink?" Annan looked at Killian and suddenly asked for no reason.

"What? I haven't had a drink in almost months."

"Then after this is over, you have to drink a few drinks to apologize to me."

Killian looked at the smiling Annan blankly and felt his voice became hoarse: "Okay..."

Elvis Raymond looked at this scene gloomily and said: "So you admit it?"

"No, I'm just going to present evidence." Annan said loudly: "Sir Makarov of the Mountain Castle is a witness to this incident. He knows the cause, process and truth."

Elvis Raymond vaguely sensed something was wrong, why did Annan Reeves look prepared.

"How do I know that Sir Makarov has not been bribed by you in advance?"

Annan asked back: "I accepted the testimony of Killian, who is also from the Raymond family, but you don't accept the testimony of the Lord of the Broken Mountains?"

At this time, Lord Raymond said: "Annan Reeves, do you want everyone to wait for you for a day?"

"It won't take that long."

Annan took out a beard and chanted a low-level summoning spell. A magic circle appeared in front of him, followed by Sir Makarov who was summoned.

He saw many familiar faces among the seats, and finally stopped at Lord Raymond, bowing his head respectfully: "Lord!"

Lord Raymond stared at Sir Makarov: "I remember you, your sister married Derek?"

"Yes, Great Lord..."

"Are you going to testify for Annan Reeves?"

"Well……"

Lord Raymond had something to say: "Don't worry, this is the Broken Mountains, no one can threaten you."

Faced with Lord Raymond's inferior tactics, Annan remained indifferent.

"yes……"

Sir Makarov glanced at Annan, straightened his thin body, and said loudly: "The princess came to my territory and wanted to trade with me. As a result, when my personal guards took her to the mountains, Ji Lian led his troops to attack the team, killed the guards and kidnapped the princess. "

"Fortunately, Her Royal Highness's blue dragon arrived in time and rescued the princess..."

Sir Makarov spoke faster and faster, completely ignoring the great lord's gloomy expression.

If he didn't have the energy to do this, Sir Makarov would definitely understand the big lord's hint, but his territory is now stationed with a team of Punishment Legion mages. He has no other choice but to stand with Annan.

"Killian, is this what happened?"

Elvis Raymond asked condescendingly.

Killian looked at Annan, and what he saw was not prayer or peace, but connivance...

His appearance gradually overlapped with that of Boss Dansi in his memory.

Killian took a deep breath: "Yes, I heard that the imperial princess came to the Broken Mountains, so I wanted to invite her to my territory as a guest. I accidentally offended Her Royal Highness, so I summoned the blue dragon to attack."

"This matter is entirely my fault."

Wow...

There was an uproar in the parliament hall.

What surprised them was not the truth, but that Killian actually changed his story and admitted that it was his mistake.

Elvis Raymond looked at him in disbelief: "Killian, do you know what you are going to say again?"

"I know very well." Killian said calmly.

He didn't want to disappoint that person.

Annan smiled: "It seems that the first accusation is not true."

Elvis Raymond was a little panicked and forced himself to calm down: "Killian, do you mean that you not only abducted the princess with the audacity, but also killed other lords' soldiers and lied to the family?"

"I...yes."

Killian's admission made Elvis Raymond's eyes light up. Just as he was about to say something, Annan interrupted: "Wait a minute."

"I do not intend to pursue Killian's offense against the princess. As for the damage he caused to Sir Makarov...that is a matter between the two of them."

"No, that's right, I can discuss it privately with Killian." Sir Makarov agreed.

Elvis Raymond couldn't help but look back at his father on the stage. Lord Raymond's face was gloomy, and he couldn't tell his emotions...but he guessed that his father never wanted to see this scene.

He gave up pursuing Killian on this occasion and came up with the second accusation: "Annan Reeves, even if Killian's experience is his own fault, what about the village of Boyi that was slaughtered by the blue dragon?"

Killian returned to the side seats with strange looks, and was replaced by several villagers with cowering expressions.

They spoke in thick accents and said the dragon had killed everyone.

Annan patted Sir Makarov on the shoulder and asked him to go to Ilimoyas. After the "surviving villagers" finished crying, he said:

"I said it's a bit pale. How about letting Her Royal Highness explain it to you personally?"
