His Highness’ Secret Accountant

Chapter 270

"Does the sinner Jaden Serdian admit to the accusation of intercepting a tribute to Queen Estella of the Raff Kingdom?"

"I do not."

The Supreme Court justices frowned at the same time at Count Serdian's determined voice.

He felt their contemptuous gaze, as if they were looking at something filthy, but Count Serdian's attitude remained unchanged. Count Serdian's appearance, standing upright and giving a confident look at the Supreme Court justices, weighed on his innocence.

The Supreme Court justices, who were sitting together, exchanged glances with each other and continued.

"Some of the precious jewels to be offered to the Queen appeared in the sinner's residence. How can you lie when it is clear it was you, Jaden Serdian, the one who led the delegation? Are you saying you're not afraid of God's wrath?"

"I've never been to that place. Someone else met with Queen Estella, not me."

After he finished speaking, the Count's gaze turned to the slightly open door in the corner.

At the same time, the young man standing next to the podium whispered in the justice's ear.

With a frown, the Supreme Court justice, who was reviewing the trial documents, slowly opened his mouth while scratching his neck.

"Hm. Call the witnesses."

At the Supreme Court justice's words, Ariel's eyes began to shake greatly as she sat on the defendant's seat.

Estella, dressed in a red dress, entered through the open door.

The tip of her chin, slightly raised, the slow steps, and the red lips, did not harmonize at all with the court.

"It's a lot of trouble Thanks to someone. Really."

Estella grumbled in a low voice, using her hand to fan her face.

Then, with the sound of high heels tapping on the floor, she sat down on the witness stand.

As her gaze met with Theon's, Estella swept up her hair with a charming smile.

The Supreme Court justices, who were keeping a refined attitude, rose from their seats and bowed their heads to Estella.

"It is an honor to meet the Queen of the Raff Kingdom."

"Then let's make this short and get it over with."

Estella tilted her head and replied in a blunt voice.

"Is Jaden Serdian the one who went to meet the Queen with the tribute?"

"It is true that it was Count Serdian, but it wasn't that face."

"Please tell us in detail."

"It's as I said. He introduced himself as Jaden Serdian, but it was not that man."

"Then who met with the Queen?"

In response to the Supreme Court justice's question, Estella looked around with a smile on her face.

Soon, Estella's finger turned to Marquis Charne, who was hiding behind the door.

"There he is."

His appearance, hunching his body in case Ariel would see him and rolling his eyes from side to side, was vulgar.

With Estella's words, Ariel, who was watching the situation, turned her gaze to the Marquis.

"Are you saying that Marquis Charne appeared as Jaden Serdian and met with you?"

Estella nodded instead of answering the justice's question.

Their gazes stuck to Marquis Charne's face.

"I will ask Jaden Serdian again. If so, where did you go that day? Didn't you use Marquis Charne to steal the tribute?"

""

"Answer me."

The Supreme Court justice's voice, urging him to answer, made Count Serdian's cold gaze turn to the back.

Twitching his lips as he looked at Ariel, Count Serdian slowly opened his mouth.

"I met Princess Ariel of the Libert Kingdom."

***

Before long, the Supreme Court justices had turned their attention to Ariel.

As the trial progressed, Ariel's brown eyes were fluttering aimlessly.

Going from why she had summoned Count Serdian, to asking if all the accusations had been fabricated.

It was clear that if it went on like this, all her hard work so far would be in vain. No, maybe it was already done for.

"I submit the statement of transactions between Marquis Charne and Ariel Clermant, and the ledgers."

"I also attach a statement of the deal between Ariel Clermant and the late Devin Noir."

Her lips, which she had been biting throughout the trial, could not handle the strength and became wounded.

The corners of Ariel's mouth rose strangely as the pungent bloody smell wrapped around it.

"I have also obtained the testimony that you ordered the murder of the late Baron Noir."

Bang!!

The interior was filled with silence for a moment.

Red blood was dripping from Ariel's hand that struck the desk.

"That's enough. It's noisy."

"Princess Ariel! Please be quiet!"

"Alright, let's say I did it all. So, what are you going to do? To me, the princess of another country?"

Ariel's crazy gaze scanned through the surroundings, and then she burst into laughter.

Then, she stopped laughing as if she had never done so, and continued.

"Can you punish me for the crimes I committed in the Stellen Kingdom?"

""

"If you're confident, go ahead. I will follow the conclusion of the honorable Supreme Court justices."

After she finished speaking, Ariel tilted her head and let out a small snort.

Money is power.

She was Ariel, the princess of another country, who was also favored by the King of the Libert Kingdom.

Since it was a matter that could develop into a diplomatic issue between the two countries, there was nothing they could do about Ariel's shameless attitude.
