Some time later, Furina skillfully took her seat in the Opera Epiclese.
Further down, Neuvillette also took his seat as the Chief Justice, with the defendant and plaintiff on either side.
"It's still so boring…"
Sitting in her seat, Furina said listlessly.
This trial was still uninteresting; the specific content was about the murder of the president of a small business association, and the Deputy President of the small association believed it was done by the president's wife to embezzle the association's wealth.
However, the president's wife believed she was innocent, thinking that the Deputy President murdered the president for his position and then tried to frame her.
Thus, the two began their confrontation under the gaze of the God and the Chief Justice.
However, Furina wasn't very concerned about this; in comparison, she was more concerned about her script, which had not yet reached its ending.
If it weren't for the fact that reading a script in the stands while others were on trial was too disrespectful to the trial, she would have already started revising her script with a pen.
Perhaps after five hundred years, she had witnessed too many different trials, to the point where she had become somewhat numb to them.
Because of money, because of hatred, because of power, because of an illusory reputation, and even, simply because of jealousy.
For hundreds of years, countless trials had been staged in the Opera House, and most of them ended for these reasons.
In the first few years, Furina found it quite enjoyable, but later, she gradually grew bored.
No matter how real a lie, it would eventually be exposed; in the Opera House, there seemed to be an invisible magic, where the Sinner would slowly reveal their flaws and ultimately receive the judgment they deserved.
For hundreds of years, no Sinner who deserved to be judged was ever let go in any trial.
Perhaps this is why many audiences in Fontaine recognize Neuvillette and enjoy coming to watch trials?
After all, who wouldn't want to be a part of an absolutely flawless trial?
And after each trial, Furina still had to offer "commentary" in her role as the "Hydro Archon." To be honest, she didn't like it.
"Commenting" on trials? It always made her feel superior, as if she were treating a serious trial as a theatrical play.
Mmm… very uncomfortable.
But there was nothing she could do; when she first decided to "act" and face everyone in this manner, her future was already sealed…
"Sigh…"
On the viewing platform reserved for the "Hydro Archon," Furina sighed softly.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yuan spoke softly.
Shortly after sitting down, Furina had Clorinde leave; after all, if Clorinde kept standing nearby, she wouldn't be able to chat with Liu Yuan!
Liu Yuan remained in her spirit form, because even though Clorinde wasn't here and couldn't hear her and Furina chatting, Neuvillette, who was further away, could see this area.
Liu Yuan temporarily had no intention of revealing herself to others, and Furina also did not want others to know about her existence as her spirit, so being in spirit form was better.
"Nothing… just a little bored…"
"Because of the trial?"
"Mmm… a little…"
"You don't look very happy."
"No…"
Furina turned her head. Perhaps because no one was paying attention, and Liu Yuan's presence made Furina feel at ease, she temporarily dropped her facade.
Tsundere Fufu was online, refusing to admit that Liu Yuan had guessed her inner thoughts.
Liu Yuan said nothing, merely smiling slightly as she slowly walked to the edge of the viewing platform, looking at the president's wife and the Deputy President in the distance.
"Which of them do you think is guilty?"
Liu Yuan spoke softly, her sapphire-like eyes exceptionally deep, as if she saw everything clearly.
"I don't know… Perhaps it's the Deputy President named Kurtley, or perhaps it's the president's wife named Linette Nina, after all, both of them have sufficient reasons to murder the president."
Liu Yuan's voice slightly perked up Furina's spirits.
"Then who do you think is most suspicious?"
Liu Yuan asked again. This time, she turned around, her deep blue eyes meeting hers, and she looked at Furina with a slight smile.
"Are you testing me?"
Seeing Liu Yuan's expression, Furina knew she already knew the answer. There was nothing she could do; after all, she and Liu Yuan had a tacit understanding!
However, after saying that, Furina still began to think, as this was at least more interesting than just sitting and watching others' trials.
"Mmm… perhaps it's the Deputy President?"
"Why?"
"Well, you see, based on the evidence presented by the president's wife so far, the Deputy President and the president began to have disagreements a long time ago.
"The deceased president wanted to merge the entire association into another, larger association, but this Deputy President strongly opposed it. The two had loudly argued about this matter in public on more than one occasion.
"In addition, a long, long time ago, when the two co-founded the association, they had an agreement that if anything happened to either of them, the other could fully manage the other's affairs.
"So, I think she has a motive for murder."
Furina seriously presented her analysis, observing Liu Yuan's expression as she spoke.
Unfortunately, she didn't get any useful information from Liu Yuan's expression.
Liu Yuan leaned against the edge of the viewing platform, listening intently to Furina's analysis. Indeed, what Furina said made a lot of sense, but…
"That makes a lot of sense, but, think a little more?"
Liu Yuan said with a smile. At this moment, she was like a patient teacher, gradually guiding Furina's thoughts.
And Furina no longer felt bored; after all, as long as she was chatting with Liu Yuan, she found it quite interesting.
Furthermore, this case seemed not as simple as she thought, and there seemed to be some hidden facts yet to be discovered, which made her feel like a "detective" now!
When you truly love someone, you naturally won't run out of things to talk about, and if the other person also loves you, then no matter what you say, they will listen carefully to your every word.
No relationship can achieve a good outcome if only one party is unilaterally devoted; it requires mutual effort from both sides.
Unilateral devotion without a response… that's merely one's own fantasy about another person.
Returning to the main topic, Liu Yuan's words made Furina begin to consider the issues in her own statements.
Sitting in her seat, Furina looked down. The president's wife and the Deputy President were presenting evidence to each other.
Part of it was to prove their own innocence, and part of it was to prove the other's potential for murder, creating an exceptionally tense atmosphere.
