Chapter 95: Finding You a Father

After the verdict of the Royal Court of Justice was announced, a court official came out to show the decree signed by His Majesty the King—that the Royal Court of Justice would be in charge of all trials involving Vergniaud.

The crowd immediately erupted into cheers again:

"Judicial power! The Royal Court of Justice has full jurisdiction now!"

"Long live the King!"

"Long live France!"

"God bless the people of France!"

"Punish the shameless judges harshly!"

The judges of the High Court watched all this from the building behind them. Had this been before, such an order encroaching on judicial authority would certainly have met with their remonstrance, but at this moment, they could only pinch their noses and accept it.

Outside, the public sentiment was inflamed. At this time, whoever dared to challenge the jurisdiction of the Royal Court of Justice, the mob would tear them to shreds immediately.
