Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 428: Chapter 250: Public Trial of the Whole City (15,000 Words) (Part 5)

A moment later, a member of the substitute punishers at the door seemed to recognize someone, and his originally stern and icy expression suddenly became unprecedentedly humble.

"Open the door, I want to see him."

"As you command, Your Highness."

They respectfully opened the cell door.

Moments later, Hillena’s stunning face appeared before Lynn.

"You may leave now. I, the Imperial Princess, follow His Majesty’s orders and have some questions for him."

This seemed to be somewhat against the rules.

The leading substitute punisher in charge of the interrogation appeared a bit hesitant.

But looking at the Great Imperial Princess’s dignified expression, he didn’t want to provoke her, so after a moment of silence, he finally chose to compromise: "You have five minutes."

When only the man and woman were left inside the cell, Hillena coldly sized him up for a while before blandly asking, "Why did you do this?"

Looking at the battered Lynn, despite being in such a state, there was still a smile on that handsome face.

To be fair, this face was quite pleasing to women.

Even as a battle-damaged version, it still softened one’s heart.

Fortunately, Hillena had been immersed in the art of power for many years, with deep schemes, so she did not reveal any of her inner thoughts.

On the other side, seeing Hillena’s angry look, Lynn smiled.

It was obvious even the Great Imperial Princess Hillena did not know the whole truth of the matter.

She was unaware of what exactly happened the night the King of Cruelty descended at the old factory, nor did she know what sacrifices Lynn made to save the Imperial City of Grossting.

However, Lynn had no intention of explaining these things.

Even if he told Hillena the truth, what would it change?

In the end, he would still be fighting alone.

In this world, the only one you can truly rely on is yourself.

Therefore, faced with Hillena’s rebuke, Lynn shook his head and unhurriedly said, "Respected Great Imperial Princess, I had no intention of breaking the agreement."

Lynn’s demeanor was composed, as if he wasn’t in a desperate situation at all.

Especially compared to his battered body, which made Hillena find it particularly strange.

Hillena was well aware there must be some truth she didn’t know within this matter, but he seemed uninterested in explaining and remained confident.

"Where do you find the courage to say such things now?"

Hillena looked at Lynn.

Based on past intelligence and experiences, for some reason, she had an inkling this man seemed to have a way to turn the tide from a dire situation.

Perhaps it was that previous agreement that let her hold on to unrealistic fantasies?

But that was too absurd.

Even with her power and vision, she could not find a way out of a doomed end for Lynn.

Looking at the Great Imperial Princess’s curious expression, Lynn did not continue to conceal and gestured for Hillena to come closer.

Hillena frowned.

As a Princess, it was the first time a man asked her to take the initiative to make such an intimate gesture as speaking close to the ear.

However, considering the current situation, she decided not to say anything and slightly lowered her head.

Feeling the light, elegant fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose, and the crystal-clear earlobe so close, Lynn felt no ripples in his heart and simply whispered gently in her ear.

"I need Your Highness to do two things for me..."

A moment later, the expression on Hillena’s face became very peculiar.

With a skeptical attitude, Hillena once again scrutinized the man in front of her with an unusual gaze.

Obviously bound and wounded, most people would have collapsed under such pain, even if toughing it out, they would be reduced to barely clinging to life.

Yet Lynn acted as if nothing was amiss.

His expression remained relaxed, as if the wounds on his body did not exist.

Moreover, the tone of self-assurance conveyed through the words he just spoke.

Could it be... things really would happen as he said?

Or had he arranged some backup plan?

This thought had just arisen before she dismissed it.

Because before coming, she specifically inquired about the Third Imperial Princess’s intelligence.

Currently, Ivyst’s situation was very dire, and she seemed to be in a coma. Her subordinates were in disarray, completely incapable of arranging any backup for Lynn.

Meaning, his current confidence came entirely from himself?

Recalling the boy’s astonishing past feats, she, who intended to refute, found herself inexplicably speechless.

Thinking carefully, even if he failed, it was merely a free attempt.

If this succeeded, she might witness the birth of a miracle.

Finally, with a mindset of doubt and belief, Hillena agreed to Lynn’s plan.

...

The next day, in the Council Hall.

Saint Laurent VI, many nobles, and heads of the Three Great Churches all gathered together.

It had been a long time since the Empire had seen such a gathering.

At this moment, they gathered here with a common goal: to judge the limb connector – Lynn.

Although some of them were well aware that Lynn might not actually be the limb connector, the Emperor needed an explanation, and so did the public.

They just needed to present Lynn as the scapegoat.

Moreover, the matter of killing Fourth Prince Joshua was not false.

This alone was enough to send him to the gallows for execution.

As the session began, the Mosgla family, who had deep enmity with Lynn, immediately suggested simplifying the entire process, affirming Lynn’s heinous crimes, and then proceeding directly with a public trial to demonstrate the Empire’s inviolable dignity!
