A Beautiful Luna After Rejection - Chapter 289 - Emergency Regulations

Chapter 289 Emergency Regulations

I heard the judge’s sentence, “Due to the lack of valid evidence and the decision of the jury, the accusation against Joanna Lovecraft is deemed invalid.”

“Wait,” Michael suddenly said.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Michael, and I was no exception.

“Your Highness, the second Prince.” The judge frowned and said, “We have a rule with the royal family. You have no right to interfere with the affairs of the werewolf court. The jury has already made their decision…”

“I know,” Michael interrupted the judge again.

Michael stood up and gave a light bow to the judge and jury. He said, “I don’t have any objections to your respected decision. I want to talk about something else.”

When I heard Michael say that he didn’t object, I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on his hand.

How could he not object to this? He said he would always be on my side. However, this disappointment only stayed in my heart for a moment. I was more willing to choose to trust in my mate. He must have other arrangements.

After hearing Michael’s words, the judge also softened his tone and said, “Since you have no objection, then forgive me for being blunt, Your Highness. You have no right to interrupt my trial. I think I should continue to read out the verdict.”

“But there is an emergency rule,” Michael interrupted the judge for the third time.

The judge’s expression was already very unsightly, but he still looked at Michael with patience and asked sternly, “What emergency regulations?”

A cold smile appeared on Michael’s face as he said, “As a judge, you must know what the law is for all werewolves, right?”

The judge was taken aback. He pursed his lips and stared at Michael. “What are you trying to say?”

“We can’t harm humans. This is an iron rule that all werewolves and Lycans have to abide by.” A cool voice came from outside the door.

All of us turned in the direction of the sound, and then I was surprised to see Courtney rushing in with her mate, Brandon, behind it.

I turned to look at Michael, thinking this was all his arrangement. Who knew I would also see a look of surprise in Michael’s eyes? He seemed to be a little surprised by Courtney and Brandon’s arrival, but he quickly hid his surprise and nodded at his older brother Brandon as a greeting.

Meanwhile, Courtney had already walked straight up to everyone. She threw the documents in her hands onto the long table in front of the judge and said, “I want to accuse Joanna of brutally killing a human woman.”

Hell broke loose among the people witnessing the trial as soon as they heard that.

Of all the people present, the one with the biggest reaction was Joanna’s father, General Lovecraft.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted at Courtney, “Miss, please mind your words.”

Upon hearing that, Brandon stood in front of Courtney and replied in the same serious tone, “General Lovecraft, please pay attention to your words. This is my mate, my Princess Consort, and the future Queen.”

General Lovecraft’s expression changed for a while. Finally, he swallowed his anger and said coldly, “Your Highness, I have no intention of offending you, but even if your Princess Consort makes such an accusation, she still needs evidence.”

“Of course, I have evidence,” Courtney said in a clear voice.

“Objection.” Joanna’s lawyer suddenly stood up. “The verdict is out. We should accept the jury’s judgment.”

He was forced to stop halfway through his sentence because Courtney, Brandon, Michael, and even I were all looking at him.

The lawyer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sat silently.

Courtney turned to look at the judge and said without any politeness, “Although I know it’s rude to interrupt, I don’t think I’ve broken any agreement. I’m not making a complaint here as a royal family member. I think I have the right that every ordinary person has. The werewolf court exists to pursue justice. We can’t let a criminal get away with it and let an innocent person die.”

The judge frowned. He was not used to the new situation.

After a long while, he sighed and said, “In that case, please show us your evidence. But I must remind you, Your Highness, if the evidence you present isn’t enough to prove the guilt of the person in front of you, you will also be impeached for obstruction of justice.”

Courtney revealed a confident smile.

She didn’t seem worried about the possibility that the judge had mentioned.

The sudden unexpected situation gave everyone a pleasant surprise. Oh no, perhaps it was just a scare for some of them.
