The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Catherine Fermion, do you have anything to say?" Looking at his daughter-in-law standing on the trial seat, Count Belmont asked with a gloomy expression.

"No, my lord father." Even during the trial, being glared at by everyone, the Mistress of Moore City still maintained her haughty elegance, as if she just came to a party among noble ladies.

"What about you? My son." Earl Belmont turned his head to look at Mourning Belmont.

"No, father." Mourning Belmont didn't look at his father from the beginning to the end, but only looked at his wife. The emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated, but there was no trace of hatred.

"Since this is the case, let's follow the rules!" Earl Belmont closed his eyes slightly, looking very tired, and said.

The high-level executives sitting next to Earl Belmont nodded, and one of them stood up, walked to a high platform in front of them, and then took out the sentencing announcement they had just drawn up, and read aloud: "Now, on behalf of the family, I will sentence Mourning Belmont, Catherine Fermian..."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the scarlet hall, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but look outside. At the same time, some vigilant people put their hands on the weapons around their waists, although they didn't think it would There was a church that came madly to attack Moore City, but the fanatics of the church couldn't deduce it with common sense. If some crazy believers really came to save their saint, it was not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

However, the person who opened the door of the scarlet hall was not an enemy from outside, but the butler brought by Earl Belmont. Property of Ning Belmont.

"Old Miller, what happened?" Earl Belmont showed a little displeasure at his butler's sudden and impolite intrusion into the trial scene in the Scarlet Hall, but he didn't blame him, because he knew very well that his The housekeeper is not the kind of reckless person. Since the other party rushed over in such a hurry, something must have happened.

"My lord, Miss Miranda landed in the City Lord's Mansion on a Storm Eagle just now, and brought two guests with her." The butler immediately explained the situation, and paused for a moment when referring to the two guests, then He continued: "I see that one of the guests may be Her Majesty the Queen."

All the people present were stunned, communicating with each other in low voices, and the expressions on their faces were all bewildered.

No one in the room suspected that the butler was wrong. After all, as one of the butlers of Belmont Castle, Old Miller had far more opportunities to get in touch with Queen Teresa than everyone in Moore City.

However, they were very puzzled as to why the Queen came to Moore City suddenly and secretly. You must know that Queen Teresa came to Moore City with great fanfare in the past. God, but now the secret has come to Moore City silently, which makes people wonder if something big has happened.

And among these people, some people up to Miranda Belmont think of more things from Miranda's position, because Miranda is the director of a special emergency department in the family line, and this department usually deals with Some important matters related to the survival of the Kingdom of Teresa and the Belmont family, and Miranda, who is in charge, can personally touch them, and even use the Storm Eagle, means that the matter has reached an extremely serious level.

Compared to the seriousness and panic shown by the surrounding officials and family patriarchs in Moore City, Earl Belmont seemed calm, because he already knew what Miranda's mission was, and he could also guess that the suspected Queen Theresa Who is the guest.

However, he didn't tell everyone about the situation. Instead, he looked at his son with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, followed him to pick up the candlestick on his desk, and slammed the table hard to silence the conversation in the scarlet hall. pressed down.

"Something unexpected happened, the trial is temporarily suspended, the prisoner is pressed down and put into the dungeon, and the sentence will be pronounced at another day." Earl Belmont read out his decision loudly.

Hearing his decision, Mourning Belmont couldn't help being stunned for a moment. For the first time, he shifted his gaze from his wife to his father, but soon he looked at his wife again, but it was his wife's face There was a little dissatisfaction on her face, as if what she wanted to hear was not that she was locked up again, but pushed directly to the city gate to be hanged.

On the other hand, the other people in the hall showed a little dissatisfaction on the faces of the high-ranking seniors who came with Earl Belmont. They seemed to think that it was extremely inappropriate for Earl Belmont to do so. However, the officials and family patriarchs in Moore City were relieved and couldn't wait to speak. Let the guards in the hall take their former city lord and his wife down and put them in the dungeon.

According to normal circumstances, if the law of the Belmont family is used to punish, Mourning Belmont, his wife, and sons who do not have the blood of the Belmont family will be executed, just like those Moore city lords who tried to rebel in the past. It was hung on the city wall for public display.

This is what most people in the direct line of the Belmont family want to see. There is no doubt that the only descendant of the Earl of Belmont is definitely the most suitable sacrifice for them to demonstrate the majesty of the family law. Once the punishment is completed, then No one in the direct line of the family, offshoots, or even some vassals will dare to violate the family law, and the family will inevitably be more stable in the next few decades, until Mourning Belmont is forgotten.

However, the execution of Mourning Belmont is definitely not the result that the various forces in Moore City want to see. After all, they sold Mourning Belmont completely. Now the Earl of Belmont may not show any resentment against them. They will even be rewarded for their actions, but who knows if Earl Belmont will secretly retaliate against them after the matter subsides? no.

Now the Mourning Belmont family is all imprisoned in the dungeon of Moore City. Although it is temporary in words, everyone present can feel that the retrial that Earl Belmont said will take a long time. For the people of Moore City, it is undoubtedly the best result. It is best to imprison the Mourning Belmont family in Moore City forever, so that all parties in Moore City will also have a security guarantee.

In this weird atmosphere, everyone who heard the Earl of Belmont's decision was tacit, and no one stood up to object. A huge trial that shocked the entire city of Moore and Belmont Castle was anticlimactic. it's over.

After Mourning Belmont's family was taken away and imprisoned, Earl Belmont couldn't wait to leave the scarlet hall that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and led the steward and his men towards the city lord's mansion.

Soon the group returned to the city lord's mansion, and after inquiring about the location of Miranda and others, they walked directly towards the storm scaffolding in the back garden.

Entering the back garden of the mansion, everyone saw a huge storm eagle standing high on the scaffold at a glance. This is the careful observation of Earl Belmont who found that one of the storm eagles was not equipped with any saddle device, which made him produce A trace of doubt.

Then, his eyes shifted to those people under the scaffolding. Besides Miranda and other familiar faces, there were two strangers, but one of the so-called strangers was more like an acquaintance in terms of appearance.

The moment he saw Sylvia, Count Belmont also stopped. At this moment, he realized that the things he heard before were not exaggerated at all. The appearance of the other party and Queen Teresa was too similar. It can be said that they are almost exactly the same, even the queen's unique temperament is almost the same, the only difference is that a person looks a lot more mature, and the queen's temperament is also much stronger.

However, the feeling of appearance and temperament only made Earl Belmont's attention stop for a while. The real reason that caused Earl Belmont to stop was the pure blood power in Sylvia. Even his father, the Duke, had never felt the power of the bloodline, and he could clearly feel a trace of awe that was rarely seen in his heart under the image of the bloodline.

"Lord Earl." After Miranda saw Earl Belmont, she immediately led someone over, saluted him, and then introduced, "This is Sylvia..."

"No need to introduce, I know this distant relative." Earl Belmont suppressed the emotions in his heart, then stepped forward very gracefully, stretched out his hand to Sylvia, and said, "I am Jonathan Belmont."

"Sylvia Belmont." Sylvia shook the other party's hand and said.

"This should be Master Leo, right?" Earl Belmont looked at Leo again.

Leo didn't speak, just nodded.

Although Leo's behavior seemed a little disrespectful, it did not arouse the disgust of Earl Belmont. In fact, when he was young, he went to the city of academics to study for several years under a disguised identity, so he was very aware of those scholars who studied academics. What they look like, in fact, Leo's behavior is already normal, and it is not uncommon for him to see more excessive behavior than Leo.

Earl Belmont made a timely proposal, saying: "You two are invited to the castle, and I happen to be going back to the castle too, so you two can go with me!"

Seeing Earl Belmont's enthusiasm, both Leo and Sylvia were taken aback for a moment, while Miranda frowned and said, "My lord, have you finished your visit to Moore City?"

Earl Belmont said with a normal expression: "Your arrival disrupted the trial, and it couldn't go on at that time, so Mourning and the others were locked in the dungeon again by me, and they will be tried again in the future."

Miranda knew very well that the Earl of Belmont came to Moor City to judge Mourning Belmont, but now it seems that the other scoundrel took the arrival of herself and others as an excuse to delay the trial, which made her feel both angry and funny. But she also made the same move as all the forces in Moore City. She turned a blind eye to this behavior of delaying the trial, and did not expose it.

Sylvia and Leo on the side heard some clues from the conversation between the two, and Leo suddenly asked inappropriately: "What trial? It must be a big deal for the Earl to handle it personally. Since If that's the case, then the Earl should focus on official business, and deal with the trial first, and it shouldn't affect Your Excellency's affairs for us."

Earl Belmont showed an ugly smile when he heard this, and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter. Nothing in the family can compare to the arrival of the two of you, especially the arrival of my distant relative." " After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo to continue speaking, he looked directly at Miranda and asked in a deep voice, "Is the passage back to the castle ready?"

Miranda did not dismantle the earl's platform, and responded truthfully: "I have notified the preparations over there, and it should take a little time."

"In this case, let's start now!" Earl Belmont said in a deep voice, "It takes a long time to go to the passage from here. The mountain road is a bit dangerous and it will take some time. When we get there, we should be almost ready. gone."

After speaking, he did not allow Leo and the others to refuse, so he signaled Miranda to follow him with Leo and Silvia.

Seeing the figure of Earl Belmont disappear in the garden corridor, Leo asked Miranda with some doubts: "Who is Earl Belmont coming to Moore City to judge this time?"

Hearing Leo's question, Miranda smiled awkwardly and said, "He is the only heir of the Earl, the former owner of Moore City."

Leo and Sylvia were both stunned when they heard the words, and then Sylvia asked in a deep voice, "Is the Lord of Moor City going to trial for treason?"

"How do you know?" Miranda looked at Sylvia in surprise.

Although the fact that the lord of Moore City violated the family law because of his wife's behavior has been spread in Moore City, it is only two days since the news spread, and because of the family ban, there is still It has not been spread to the outside world, and the rumors from the outside world do not involve specific laws, and it is not known that she is being tried for betrayal, so now Sylvia has guessed the core content of the trial all at once, which can't help but make Miranda Surprised, and even professionally doubted whether Sylvia had any eyes and ears in Moore City.

However, in the face of Miranda's rhetorical question, Sylvia seemed very calm, and replied: "It's very simple. Most of the trials involving the first heir I have encountered are almost related to treason and betrayal." , she asked again: "If we hadn't appeared as an excuse, would the family of the former city lord who was tried be sentenced to death?"

"Yes." Seeing that Sylvia had guessed it, Miranda had nothing to hide.

After hearing this, Sylvia couldn't help turning her head and smiling at Leo, and said, "It seems that the Earl owes us a lot."
