Violet Orchestra

Because they were held in a separate cell, they couldn't see anyone except the guards who changed their shifts on time every day. Violet and the others waited in the cell for several days. They didn't wait for the news of Hodge, and they couldn't find the escape. There was no other way, so he had to sit in jail honestly, and began to discuss how to deal with the trial.

They couldn't contact Hodge, and the ominous premonition gradually enveloped the cell. After more than ten days, even the calmest Petra couldn't sit still: "We have to ask someone, we can't stay here forever Wait to die."

"But there must be someone who is willing to answer our questions." Violet didn't even think about discussing, and sighed while sitting under the only iron window, "I only hope that Hodge is still alive, and I dare not do anything else. Think about it."

Elaine patted him on the back reassuringly, said nothing, but was extremely worried in her heart.

Although no news is good news to a certain extent, it is not an option to procrastinate like this. Under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible for Hodge to be released, and they will not have good results if they continue to wait.Because according to Domonoch's law, if they don't act soon, Hodge may soon go to trial.

In fact, Elaine is the safest person in this team. As long as he shows his identity certificate to the guards, it is very simple to exchange his status as Crown Prince of Rosaria for freedom——Rorsaria and Domon Nuoqi has a treaty of friendship and diplomatic relations, and Elaine has not committed any crimes. It is impossible for them to continue to detain and interrogate princes from friendly countries.Elaine knew this a long time ago. A few days before he was locked up, he asked Violet, if Hodge was excluded, how likely would he be to protect the other three with his own identity, but the poet gave The answer is not optimistic.

"You are the prince of Rosalia, of course you can enjoy this kind of treatment, but we can't." Violet said, "The prince is not the same as the 'accomplice of the wanted criminal', you have to understand this."

Elaine was speechless.

Violet knew in his heart that all of them, except for Elaine, had some criminal records. Even if Domonoch couldn't find out for a while, he would detain them for as long as possible because of Hodge's existence. Given enough time, what evidence can be uncovered is out of their control.They have been trapped here for more than ten days, let's not discuss the possibility of being sentenced, just from the perspective of whether Hodge can save his life, they can't continue to sit still.

"You have to go out." He looked at Elaine and said without room for negotiation.

Now I can't care about Rosalia's reputation anymore, and if it continues like this, Elaine may even miss her chance to escape.The young prince had spent more than ten days with him in the dark and damp cell without complaint, and he had no reason to let the other party waste time and life here.

"But you..."

Elaine hesitated and glanced at Birkins in the opposite cell. Petra was sitting far away in the other corner, he couldn't see him, but Birkins was also looking at him, obviously interested in Violet's decision is informed and agreeable.

"I know you want to stay with me, but now is not the time to think about it, we don't have time." Violet kissed the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Don't worry about us after you go out, think of a way first It may not be easy to inquire about Hodge, but now only you can do it... I hope you can help him."

With Elaine's character, it was obviously too difficult for him to get information about Hodge from Domonoch's officials—he was not good at words and was easily shy, and he almost didn't understand these twists and turns. A country boy, let him go to ask those people for news, even Violet himself feels like sending a lamb to a pack of wolves, and it may never return.If there is another way, he will definitely negotiate by himself, but they have no choice now, this is the only feasible way, so he opened his mouth to Elaine.

His little Romeo has always been by his side, of course he is not willing to let him go, but he has to do so, and believes that Elaine will understand his thoughts.

He knew Elaine, just as Elaine knew his feelings.Without too much hesitation, the young man finally nodded and agreed to him.

"...But you have to take good care of yourself." He hugged Violet, his voice faintly frustrated, "I can't take you all out directly, but I will definitely find a way to defend you."

The poet patted him on the back, feeling that his heart was about to soften.

Now that the countermeasures have been discussed, there is no need to continue to waste time.They planned to wait until the shift of the guards was over before asking Elaine to show his identity certificate to the other party. It would take some time to verify whether the identity was true. Elaine actually didn't have much time to inquire about the news, so he couldn't afford to waste it.

But the interval between shift changes this time seemed to be extremely long. It took a long time after they finished talking, and the bearded guard who should have taken over at ordinary times did not wait.The cell was quiet, and no one made a sound. Even Petra, who was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, felt that the waiting time was strangely long, so she couldn't help opening her eyes: "What's going on today?"

"Something may have happened outside, or maybe the guards were delayed by something." Violet shook his head, "The guards who should take over this time are usually punctual, so there must be something. Let's wait."

They waited for a while before they heard footsteps outside the cell.But what was different from usual was that there were many and orderly footsteps this time. It sounded like a team of soldiers stopped outside the door and waited in line.

Someone stood in front of the door of this independent cell, knocked on the door gracefully after a pause of two seconds, as if to give them time to react, and then opened the door and walked in.

Violet was not too surprised to see Galegon appearing in front of them in military uniform.

He didn't look old at all, on the contrary, he was full of vigor, and he was a little younger than Hodge.His dark brown hair was combed neatly behind his head, and pressed under the brim of his military cap in a smooth and oily way. Both gloves and boots were clean and wrinkle-free, and his whole body was neat and tidy, even the medal on his chest was wiped off. Shiny and dignified as if to receive an award in front of a king.

"Nice to see you again, sir." He stood in front of Violet's cell door and bowed gentlemanly, "I'm here to announce Domonoch's decision on how to deal with you guys, I hope I don't disturb you Your rest."

So fast?But they haven't been tried yet, how can they be executed directly?

Violet froze for a moment, before he had time to think about it, he immediately interrupted him.

"Wait a minute, we also have a request to Domonoch."

Without waiting for Galegon to respond, he reached out and quickly took out the ID card from Elaine's pocket, and stuffed it directly through the crack of the door: "This is the ID card of the young man beside me, his name is Elaine Rosalia is the crown prince of your country's friend Rosalia, you have no right to detain him, please release him immediately."

A look of surprise flickered in Galegon's eyes under the brim of his hat, but it quickly died down, replaced by a subtle smile.

"It turns out that this is His Royal Highness Prince Rosalia, I'm sorry."

He didn't take any action immediately, and he didn't check the ID card. He just opened it for a look and handed it back as it was.

"But there's no need for this, I'm here to let you out."

"what?"

Violet's eyes widened in surprise.

He didn't even bother to pick up Elaine's identity certificate. He was stunned for two seconds before realizing what the other party meant, and asked, "Why?"

Domonochchi is not a charity, and it has been closed for so long, how could they be released for no reason?

Galegon glanced at him, with some unconcealable pride in his tone: "Hodge has pleaded guilty, and the condition is that you will be acquitted immediately. Anyway, you are not Domenochians, and my officer is of course very happy to do so." .”

"...plead guilty?" Violet repeated his words in disbelief, then shook her head, "How could he plead guilty, stop kidding."

Hodge is not stupid. The officials of Domonoch are treating him as fat meat delivered to their door, and they all plan to get a piece of the action. As long as he pleads guilty, he will be sent to the guillotine immediately. Everyone knows this well Ming, it is impossible for him not to understand.How could he plead guilty when he knew the situation was like this?

But Gallegon emphasized it again, with a firm and unquestionable tone: "He did plead guilty, just last night."

There was no regret or nostalgia for the old friend, and he used the most normal informative tone, with almost no emotion.Violet heard it in his ears, thinking of his opening remarks today, and suddenly figured out the whole story.

"You..." He looked up at Galegon who was standing outside the cell door, looking at him through the iron bars. "Are you trading our freedom with him?"

The expression on Galegon's face gradually disappeared, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he became like an indifferent stone statue.

He didn't answer Violet's question, but called the guard who was supposed to be on duty, and signaled him to use the key to open the doors of the three cells. After the guard finished and confirmed that the four had been released, he would The team left.

Violet stood in the cell where she had lived for more than ten days, and did not go out immediately.Elaine politely thanked the guard who opened the door for them, waited beside him for a while, and then reminded in a low voice: "We should go, let's go out first."

The poet shook his head and took his hand.

"No, we have to find Hodge."

Gallegon said Hodge had pleaded guilty "last night" and that he had come to release them today, either to buy time or for some other reason.

This is not normal, would Domonoche be so dishonest?
