Chapter 169: The Pardoned Guardian Knight
At this moment, everyone looked at the slender figure in the center of the courtroom in disbelief.
Shi Chen, who was already frustrated, slowly raised his head and looked at Isa with some confusion, not understanding why she would do such an irrational behavior at this moment.
In his impression, although Isa was young, she had none of the negative habits of those playboys.
Could she really do it?
Suyacanna, who was sitting in the hearing room, pursed her lips slightly and glanced at Isa with some surprise. She seemed to have thought of what the other party was going to do, with admiration and appreciation in her eyes.
Princess Elizabeth is certainly not naive, at least the chief minister doesn't think so.
The chief police officer stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, and seemed to have thought of something. His old and somewhat cloudy pupils suddenly shrank, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Are you... sure?"
Isha looked back at Xu Qiusheng, who was a little confused, and then at Shi Chen, who was confused but with a hint of hope, and showed a gentle and sunny smile.
Then she looked back at the superior chief political officer at the table and said firmly: "I'm sure."
The chief security officer stared at Isa for a long time, sighed deeply, and said, "You shouldn't do this."
"It's true that I shouldn't, but I have to do this." Isa pursed her lips.
The chief political officer suddenly showed a kind smile and encouraged: "Then do what you want to do."
"Thank you! Your Honor!"
Isa thanked her, then turned around and came to Xu Qiusheng, who was still at a loss, and asked solemnly: "Xu Qiusheng, are you willing to declare a knight's declaration here as the guardian knight of Isabel, Elizabeth?"
, go and fight for me, for the Elizabethan royal family, and for the Commonwealth?"
As Isa's words fell, not only in the court, but at this moment, every citizen in the Federation who saw the live broadcast of the verdict showed shock and disbelief.
He is actually a canonized guardian knight!
As the Elizabethan royal family who has made outstanding contributions to the federation, although they no longer have political ruling power, they still have some rights that the royal family should have. One of them is not well known to the world, which is the provisions written in the federal constitution.
It is the power of pardon.
Her Majesty Elizabeth has the power to pardon all prisoners who are not treasonous, but since the founding of the country, Her Majesty Elizabeth has never used it lightly.
Because if this privilege is used wantonly, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the reputation of the royal family. In the long run, it will not be conducive to the existence of the royal family.
In addition to Her Majesty Elizabeth, as a princess of the royal family, after reaching adulthood at the age of 18, she can also choose a guardian knight and have the right to pardon her sins once, but this also means that the royal family will bear the responsibility for these sins.
At this moment, Isa took advantage of this only opportunity.
However, Xu Qiusheng was completely unable to bend over. After hearing these words, he was stunned for a while and looked at Shi Chen for help.
"Don't be stupid! Just agree!" Shi Chen wanted to rush over and beat this guy up at this moment. This life must be too good! But in his heart, he was sincerely happy and grateful to Isa.
He knew that all of this was just Isa's repayment for saving her life twice, including her sister Liya's share.
In fact, there is absolutely no need for Isa to do this.
Originally, her appearance in court must have violated Her Majesty Elizabeth's wishes. But doing so now will inevitably have a great impact on the Elizabethan royal family, and even push Elizabeth, who has been hidden behind history, back to the forefront.
But she just did it, and she did it so abruptly and resolutely that no one thought that things would develop to this situation in advance, turning a scheduled judgment scene into a canonization ceremony for a guardian knight.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Xu Qiusheng was not stupid. He understood that this might be his only chance to escape at the moment and quickly agreed.
Isa continued to ask: "Are you willing to give up your selfish desires and become a sword and a shield for the great justice?"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
At this moment, Nolan secretly placed a note in front of Xu Qiusheng's desk.
Xu Qiusheng was stunned for a moment, glanced at it and took notes, jumped directly from the plaintiff's seat, knelt on one knee in front of Isa, clenched his fist and put it on his left chest, and solemnly swore:
"From now on, I, Xu Qiusheng, will uphold the virtues of humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor and soul."
"In the face of a powerful enemy, be fearless, resolute and loyal, worthy of God, loyal and upright, willing to die rather than surrender, and protect the weak, which is not against the laws of nature."
"I swear to be kind to the weak."
"I swear to stand up to rape."
"I swear to fight against everything that's wrong."
"I swear to fight for the defenseless."
"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help."
"I swear not to hurt any woman."
"I swear to help my brother knight."
"I swear to treat my friends with sincerity."
"I swear that I will stay with the one I love until death."
Isa stretched out her hand, took the knight's sword presented by Nolan, pulled out the scabbard with a clang, and placed the blade on Xu Qiusheng's left shoulder.
"I, Isabella Elizabeth, recognize you, Xu Qiusheng, as my guardian knight."
After finishing speaking, Isa sheathed the knight's sword and entrusted it to Xu Qiusheng's hand, which also meant that from now on, Isa would place her trust and life in the other's hands.
Isabella made a vow, and Xu Qiusheng stood up and turned around at Nolan's signal to accept everyone's recognition.
However, at a glance, all the faces are dull, angry, envious or jealous.
There was an awkward silence in the courtroom.
In this silence, harsh and lonely applause sounded.
Xu Qiusheng turned his head, and the person applauding was actually Suyecang Na who was sitting in the hearing panel.
Then, Shi Chen and Gu Meiyan, who finally reacted, began to applaud from the bottom of their hearts. Like a prairie fire, the originally sporadic applause in the courtroom began to gather together and eventually turned into a heated turbulence.
At this moment, many federal people in front of the TV screen began to spontaneously applaud, even if the person involved could not hear it.
"Your Highness, the Second Princess, has finally reached this age." This is the heartfelt sigh of many elderly people.
The applause lasted for a long time, Isa raised her hand, and the applause in the court fell silent.
She turned around, looked at the chief prosecutor who was filled with emotion, and said: "Your honor, I, Isabella Elizabeth, once again apply for the right of pardon for the guardian knight Xu Qiusheng. All the crimes Xu Qiusheng has committed,
It will be borne by the Elizabeth Royal Family. Any losses in the Thirteenth City of Titan will be compensated by the Elizabeth Royal Family. All the victims in this turmoil will be commemorated by the Elizabeth Royal Family."
The chief prosecutor nodded and said: "This judge hereby declares that the defendant Xu Qiusheng is acquitted."
