Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 393

"Are you a barrister?"

Rawls was not surprised that Delina knew her occupation. After she was able to name her title, she knew that this lady had a certain understanding of herself. Instead, he was curious about the identity of the other party.

This is the Sodrak Palace and the New Year's party, and everyone who can attend is either rich or expensive. Normally, like the lady Delina in front of her who introduced herself, she would definitely not just say her name, at least her surname, and someone with a title would also introduce herself as a so-and-so.

In this way, there will be no embarrassing situation where you just say your name and the other party doesn't know who you are.

From this point of view, the woman who calls herself Delina either doesn't want to say her name, or thinks that just saying her name is equivalent to revealing her identity.

And only the eldest daughter of King George III of Loen who meets this characteristic and will appear at the dinner party, Princess Delina.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You didn't act like a barrister just now?"

Princess Delina blinked, pointing out that Rawls wasn't so quick in answering the question just now, but rather slow.

Although I don't know why the princess found her, George III has already sacrificed the third prince Edsack, and the second prince Charles may also be a victim, so Rawls raised his vigilance:

"Verbal arguments in court are based on logic and evidence, and they all need to be prepared in advance."

"That's it..." Delina nodded her understanding.

She knew something about Rawls, partly from her law teacher, the barrister who had been mentioned by Merino, Dean of the Lincoln School of Law, and Roone Attorney General Coburn, and her brother Charlie who had said I want to meet Rawls.

But that's not why she's so interested in Rawls that she wants to go against the royal family's request to talk to him.

As the princess of the royal family, as a member of the Augustus family who believes in the Lord of Storms, the education and identity restrictions she has received do not allow her to choose to go out to work like Audrey, a noble woman who believes in the goddess of the night, except for family members With servants, she seldom even saw other male nobles, let alone actively talk to men at banquets.

And the reason why she took the initiative to find Rawls was the death of her brother Edsack.

Of course, she didn't suspect that it had something to do with Rawls, but she was worried about her brother Charlie. As Loen's princess, and there are four more princes, Delina doesn't have to worry about getting involved in the heir turmoil, so she can see the competition between several brothers more clearly.

Except for David, who is only thirteen years old, all three princes have made a move in this heir battle.

The eldest prince, Covington, once studied at the Pritzker Naval Academy, has a certain influence in the navy, and is on good terms with many admirals; the second prince, Charles, has a good relationship with the Ministry of Defense, and has a higher voice in the Backlund Arms Group; And Edsack, who had just committed suicide, put his choice on his marriage because he was nearly ten years apart from his two brothers. He wanted to marry a nobleman to gain support. Audrey was his target.

Although I don't know why, my younger brother gave up the competition some time ago, but this also made Delina relieved, so she shifted her attention to Charlie, and it was at this time that she heard Rawls's words from Charlie's mouth. name.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't long before Charlie's housekeeper Bohr committed suicide. A few days ago, Edsack also committed suicide because he was tempted by the witch and created a haze.

This series of events hit Derena, who wanted to keep her family safe. She originally thought that she only needed to find a way to get Charlie to quit to resolve the dispute. After all, in the past history, the eldest son's succession to the throne can also ensure the lives of the remaining princes, and the non-eldest son is likely to cause a **** fight.

Because of the sudden change, Delina suspects that the competition between her brothers has intensified, and even Edsack, who quit the competition, will pay the price with his life.

She thought that the person who caused Edsack's death was her brother Charlie. There was a real problem with the timing of his butler's suicide, so Delina took the initiative to find Rawls, the person Charlie wanted to see, to see Can you find any clues.

"Although I have taken a law class, Mr. Merino has also talked about some defense cases of Viscount Adrian in the class, but they are not involved. Are these taught by Lincoln Law School?"

"Mr. Merino?"

Rawls was a little surprised. Although he knew that in addition to being the dean of the Lincoln Law School, Lawyer Merino also had the title of a royal counselor, but he did not know that he would also teach law to members of the royal family.

No wonder Her Royal Highness knows his name, but just like this, can a princess take the initiative to inquire about her title and come to talk to her?

When investigating Prince Charles, Rawls also read some information on other princes and princesses, but the information on the two princesses is much less for the prince. However, the information shows that the two princesses have always had a good reputation, except for Except for royal banquets and major occasions, he rarely appears in the outside world, and has always lived in the Sodrak Palace.

Not long after Edsack committed suicide, it was hard not to let Rawls be wary of the princess on this occasion. If it wasn't for the fact that George III was only a "Knight of Discipline" of Sequence 5, and he couldn't discover his secrets, he would suspect that Derena was sent by George III.

"Not only him, but Attorney General Cockburn also mentioned you in class..."

Alexander Cockburn, who has a reputation as a playboy, and Rawls also remembered the Attorney General of the Kingdom who he had only met once, and he was also a member of the royal teachers?

"I have only met Mr. Coburn once, and it was recommended by Lawyer Merino. As for the knowledge taught by the college, it depends on the situation of the students. For example, students who have become solicitors, their focus is on defense and logic. And like I still need to learn the relevant knowledge of laws and regulations..."

"Then Viscount Adrian can still graduate in such a short time. Another teacher of mine once said that a qualified barrister can basically be achieved after the age of thirty."

"I was influenced by my father. After all, I have been exposed to this profession since I was a child."

Since you don't know the purpose of the other party's questioning, let's take it slowly. Anyway, Rawls has time, and as a princess, Derena, who talks to him for a long time, will definitely attract others' attention.

"Then Viscount Adrian may become the legal adviser of the royal family like Mr. Merino and Attorney General Cockburn in the future. Although the members of the royal family have received legal education, the legal issues are still up to you. A professional barrister will do.”

"I'm afraid it will be many years later." Rawls shook his head.

Even if there is no doomsday, after becoming a viscount, he will not actually have a chance to go to court.

"That is for others, Viscount Adrian may be able to become the legal adviser of the royal family when he is of age with Charlie and Covington."

"Then I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the princess for her blessing." Rawls saluted with a smile.

Delina nodded, said goodbye politely, and walked towards the center of the banquet. When she mentioned Charlie and Gowin, neither of them had any special reaction. Even if the other party deliberately hides, she has no time to continue, and now many people have noticed the two people talking in the corner.

And Rawls also felt the various gazes cast, and continued to turn around and hold the red wine glass to look at the crimson outside the window.

He didn't know why the princess came to him suddenly, but it must have something to do with Charlie and Covington. Could it be that Charlie came to ask for directions to see if Philip had found him? Or is Prince Covington trying to win over Philip?

Princess Delina, who returned to the banquet center, walked over to her sister Caroline. At this time, Audrey, who had finished dancing with Hibbert, also walked over, making the area where the three of them were instantly become the focus of everyone's attention.

Although Audrey was the youngest among the three, Caroline was the most lively one. She raised her chin to the men who had rejected Audrey's invitation to dance, and said to her sister pretending to be aggrieved:

"Today, Audrey is the real princess, and we can only bathe in the light radiating from the most dazzling gem in Backlund."

With a smile on the corner of Delina's mouth, she tapped Caroline's forehead:

"Today is Audrey's official adulthood! When you were an adult, many people invited you to dance?"

As the real protagonist of the banquet, Audrey lightly covered her mouth while quietly observing Delina's state. Seeing the princess for the first time today, she found the problem.

In her impression, Princess Delina is a lady in the traditional sense of Loen. She is wise and elegant. She never behaves in violation of etiquette, but today she made many mistakes, and her emotions of tension, firmness and worry fluctuated back and forth.

At first, I thought it was related to Prince Edsack's suicide, but later I found out that my emotions were not right at all, and it was only now that I calmed down.

And just now she was talking to a man by the window... Audrey's eyes shifted slightly, and she saw the man who was still standing by the window, remembering the barrister Rolls Adrian who once appeared at the banquet , he and Delina know each other?

Perhaps it was because she had read Forsi's "Storm House", and because Prince Edsack fell in love with "The Witch", she wondered if the princess also fell in love with someone she shouldn't, but How did the two meet before? And how did a barrister come in for the party?

Is it because Delina has reached the age to get married, so she has to take the risk to meet the barrister on such an occasion?

"Derina, what did you just go to? Who was the one you were talking to?"

Compared to Audrey, who could only guess and couldn't ask directly, Caroline didn't need to care so much.

"It's Rolls Adrian, who has just been canonized as Viscount Drian."

"Rolls Adrian? Is he rich? He can actually buy the title of Viscount?" Caroline had long forgotten the name, but was curious and surprised that Rolls could get the title of Viscount.

Audrey also felt the same way. She looked at Derena, who only expressed doubts and worries, and knew that she had guessed wrong earlier. But isn't Rolls Adrian a barrister? Why did he suddenly become Viscount Drian?

"Did you forget that Mr. Merino and Attorney General Cockburn mentioned him in class?"

"Ah, I remembered, and Charlie said he wanted to see him!" Caroline suddenly realized.

A trace of melancholy flashed across Delina's face, the corners of her mouth curled up and she said with a smile:

"Then do you remember that day when you said you could memorize etiquette rules at the age of ten?"

"Did I tell you? Why don't I remember?"

Caroline shook her head, moved away from her sister, and stopped asking questions. She knew that if she continued to ask, she would not get an answer, instead, many of her embarrassing things would be revealed.

And Audrey continued to pursed her lips and smiled. Her green eyes reflected Delina's figure... When she mentioned Charlie, she also had a strange emotion. Is it related to Prince Charlie? Could it be that Mr. "Emperor" was right in his investigation, that Charlie was also involved in human trafficking, and might even put the blame on Prince Edsack?

And what did Delina notice?

But why is it related to a barrister?

Could it be that Rolls Adrian helped Prince Charles, so he won the title?

Go back and ask Dad to see how the barrister became Viscount Drian.

After the banquet, luxury carriages drove away from Sodrak Palace.

Compared to Rawls paddling the entire time, Philip, who had been acquainted with members of his faction, leaned on the soft bed in the carriage with a tired face. His body was not tired, but his spirit was very tired. While rubbing his temples, he said:

"Why did you start talking with Princess Delina?"

"I don't know either. Her Royal Highness the princess took the initiative to find her, but I suspect that she is acting for Prince Charles or Prince Govington."

Rolls leaned his back against the wall of the carriage and threw the question directly to Philip. No matter who he represented, he was looking for him.

"Charlie?"

Philip stopped, sat up straight, his face gloomy. In his opinion, it's good that he didn't take the initiative to trouble Charlie~www.mtlnovel.com~ It may not be him, it may be Prince Covington, after all, Prince Edsack committed suicide. "

The death of a prince, whether it is normal or not, will inevitably cause fluctuations, especially in the Ruen Kingdom where there is no confirmed crown prince.

"I see, I will pay attention to this matter... However, Princess Delina is also involved. Could it be that she also wants to compete for the throne? But isn't the royal family already looking for a marriage partner?"

Philip shook his head, Rawls was introduced by the Negan family, and he must be kept no matter what.

Philip returned to his villa, while Rawls returned to 45 Gatton Street, which he hadn't returned to for a long time.

After the smog incident, he wanted to help the Negan family and stabilize the Adrian firm at the same time. Due to the reason of going on vacation, the firm did not suffer any loss in personnel, but there were losses in the case, and some clients had passed away.

Simply, this is just a temporary difficulty, and Adrian Office can also take this opportunity to win more customers.

But when he was still one or two hundred meters away from home, Rawls noticed that Alysia was in his home, and only when he stepped into the bedroom did he realize that Dorothy Lovelace was also here.

"Countess Lovelace, aren't you coming until after the New Year?"

"I brought you news of the Gonzalez family, would you like to know? Dear Viscount Drian?"
