“…… What do you think, Your Highness?
”Hodden said.Gaston didn't answer immediately, but looked at Hodden carefully, and in those blurred lazy eyes, a deep tiredness slowly spread between his eyebrows, and the faint halo of sight was a little provocative, not impossible to hide, but deliberate.Inexplicably, Gaston recalled the night of the Seceppace College Homecoming Ball, and after solving the case, Holden turned around and left the scene, and the Homecoming Ball became Gaston's bargaining chip, and the world continued peacefully without making any waves.However, as the third prince, Gaston has his insistence and position, and naturally it is impossible to easily change his position because of Horden's words; Moreover, Gaston has his own considerations and concerns, and even if Hoden's advice is correct and feasible, he cannot easily say it.Gaston did not respond positively to Holden's opinion, but instead displayed a decent smile, "Judging by your words, it seems that you do not believe in our judicial system, nor do you believe that justice can be done, which should not be a good thing for the Empire." ”Gaston's rhetorical question was not sharp, it was still the usual gentleness, but between the words, he could feel the momentum of the superior, and the flickering light in those eyes fell on Holden even more thinly, with meaningful weight.The corners of Holden's lazy mouth rose slightly, "Your Highness, I believe in the truth, but I don't believe in justice." ”The same is true of Issa.Gaston looked excited.Holden was not interested in in-depth discussion, "Because truth is eternal, and justice is relative, and more importantly, justice always has to be paid." ”Just a sentence, but it contains too much content, Gaston chewed carefully, trying to express some opinions, but he needed to be cautious, and before he could speak, Hoden's voice came again, and his lazy tone remained unchanged, "Your Highness still needs to think twice, position determines the head, some things, it is better not to express opinions easily." ”This is a bit of a polite remark.But Gaston was still not provoked, but chuckled, his expression seemed to be very relaxed, and there was a glint of appreciation in his eyes, but he didn't express his opinion easily after all, but changed the topic to him, "Thanks to you today, otherwise it is still unknown when the truth will be made public, but you are injured, rest now, and leave the follow-up to us." ”The subtext is that you don't want to mix the things that follow, otherwise, it may be self-defeating.Holden didn't aggressively ask Gaston to take a stand, because he knew Gaston was right.Previously, Hodden consciously kept a business distance, that is, he did not want others to think that Gaston was favoritism and left a handle for potential opposition, but now, he can only hope that Gaston can maintain justice and leave a little room for justice in the balance of interests."
Thank you for your concern."
Hodden nodded politely at Gaston, "Then I won't bother." ”didn't say anything more, after the signal, Holden turned around and left, anyway, the follow-up closing and trial was a game, a smokeless war that he couldn't intervene in.Gaston stood in place, his eyes falling on Holden's departing back, pausing for a moment, but his thoughts were already turbulent.But this pause soon ended, and Gaston withdrew his gaze and quietly resumed his usual posture as a superior, and then there was a series of tricky things to deal with, and I am afraid that behind this incident, it was far more complicated than imagined.To put it simply, the royal family wants to promote the vigilante and the judicial system, but the judicial system not only restricts the freedom of the psychics, but also touches the privileges of the local nobility, in other words, the interests of the royal family of Tuno conflict with the interests of the local nobility, and there are bound to be many obstacles in the law enforcement power of the security force, even within the royal family of Tuno.In the case of Alber alone, we can see the traces of the "control" of the security team by the Southern Aosun Company, and then it involved the audacity of the Southern Aosun Company to directly commit murder in the security team, and pushed the contradiction to the table without any cover-up, the cheese of the conservatives and reformists were touched, and the subsequent power game was raised to a higher level of competition.Including the third prince himself, he is not speaking on his own behalf now, but on behalf of the entire interest group he supports, supporting and opposing the security team, punishing the Southern Aosun Company and protecting the Southern Aosun Company, promoting the judicial system and restricting the judicial system, all of which are opposing interests.As Horden said, truth is absolute, while justice is relative.Therefore, Gaston can't easily express his position, in the confrontation of huge interest groups, even the third prince and the king himself are just spokesmen, and they can't help themselves - Holden's words are correct, all of them.Gaston looked at Holden's back, and this is what makes it so meaningful: under the age of eighteen, he can have such a thorough and profound vision!
But for Howlden, it was a burden, and he preferred to know less about himself, so that he could be simpler and purer, like Issa, with a child's heart.I still remember that after the case of the back-to-school ball was over, His Royal Highness the Third Prince made a deal with the Giocomo family to temporarily suppress the news and the ball continued.In this regard, Robben was furious and left the scene angrily, but Hoden could understand and chose to stay.Today, the same situation is being faced, and this time it may be Issa's "bargaining chip".Holden could still understand the intricate web of interests behind the incident, but it was difficult for him to maintain the same mentality again, he wanted to walk away like Robben, however, his mouth was full of bitterness, and the mixed taste made the pace of progress as heavy as a thousand pounds, and then, in the distance, he saw two stretchers in the hall at the entrance of the Third Jurisdiction Security Team.The pace slowed down, fear and sadness firmly tied to the ankles, and it was almost impossible to move forward.The slightly undulating curves under the white linen outline the two calm and serene silhouettes on the stretcher, as if nothing had happened, and everything was hidden under the vast white, with no blood or wounds to be seen, as if there was no pain in this way.Then, even their faces and souls were covered and erased.The figures of Peters, Brutus, and Robben stood silently by the stretcher, their heads slightly bowed, their quiet expressions revealing a hint of silent sadness, as if time could not help but slow down.That's Issa and Alber.()
