Chapter 1296 What plans did His Highness actually have?

　　Lawyer Peng along with the girl turned to look as they saw Li Xue standing up and walking to the defender's desk. Then nodding, she bowed her head a little as she greeted, "Hello, sir. I am Li Xue." 

　　Li Xue looked at the file and then with some thought nodded. "Yes, Sir. That's the file I submitted and it contains the information of the lawyer that would be representing my case here today." She said without having any waver of confidence. 

　　To the audience, the question might seem a little awkward, but Li Xue knew the reason behind the judge's queries. 

　　When the judge heard her confirming it, his eyes scanned through the crowd another time as he asked, "So you mean to say Mr. Shin Tingming would be representing your case as the lawyer?" He asked and Li Xue nodded with a smile. And with her nod, the whispers of the people got into the air. 

　　The victim girl's brows tugged in confusion. Shin Tingming? Wasn't the name familiar? 

　　Leaning to her Lawyer, she asked, "Lawyer Peng, who is Shin Tingming? Is he some high-profile lawyer?" She asked and before the lawyer could answer her, she heard someone from behind speaking. 

　　"Shin Tingming! Isn't that the name of the Royal King?" 

　　"Is he going to represent Li Xue's case?

　　"OMG! This is huge. Who exactly is Li Xue? She not only made the royals come and support her but has also made His Highness become her lawyer." 

　　"I can't believe it. But seeing His Highness rising from his seat, I feel that it's better to believe it. Otherwise, what other reason could there be to explain his appearance at the defender's stage." 

　　As they talked in whispers, everyone's eyes followed Shin Tingming walking to the defender's stage with his intimidating aura before coming to stand just beside Li Xue. People got stunned for a moment. Few caught similarities that were hard to believe. For some reason, they felt Li Xue's facial features matched the man's. Especially their eyes.

　　But they couldn't be reckless with their words. After all, the party involved was not simple. 

　　"Good morning, Your Honor. Here, I, Shin Tingming, announce to represent the case of Ms. Li Xue as her lawyer. The necessary documents that were required to make me eligible for the position are all presented on your desk. But still, to let the witnesses know, I would repeat." He said, and his every word came out intimidatingly elegant. 

　　"I have been a university topper in the major of Law and foreign studies. And other than that, I have also worked in one of the foreign law firms as their law consultant for more than five years in my early days. And as the people of Chiboa know, I have also got the experience of maintaining law and order in the royal court of the country. So, with all those qualifications, I gain the eligibility to stand here as my client's lawyer." 

　　He said and the people around were all dumbfounded. Was he just qualified? With his qualification, he was more suited to sit on the seat of the judge.

　　Even the judge felt embarrassed. Even reaching such an elderly age, he knew he was not qualified to stand in front of the man, let alone talk about judging the case he was defending. 

　　If it's him defending, was there even a question to know who is the actual offender?

　　The judge's eyes at once turned to look at the girl who was sitting on the other side with her lawyer. Just with his gaze, it could be told that whom he has already taken to be the culprit. But still keeping his authority and responsibility in check, he got back on his chair and nodded before gesturing for the two parties to take their seats. 

　　Lawyer Peng accompanied the girl to the other desk before pulling out the chair for her to sit. The victim girl tried to read his expression to know the future of the case but seeing him all poker, she couldn't prevent herself from asking him straight, once again, "Lawyer Peng, will we be able to win the case? Why are you looking like we have already lost?"

　　The lawyer looked at her and controlled the grit of his teeth. "Because we are going to lose the case and that would be my first failure in my entire career which would come because of you and Ms. Zhang. I was already disapproving of this case knowing that it was against Li Xue. But I agreed only after knowing that Lawyer Liu was outside the country. But who knew this time, she could bring His Majesty to replace the position of Lawyer Liu?"

　　He said and the woman was all confused. But before she could ask about it, the man has already moved to take his seat. 

　　When the last time Li Xue called Lawyer Liu to Oriental Spark, the lawyer's society had already got the news of it. They have already become aware of the lady; after all, not everyone in the country held the power to appoint Lawyer Liu. So, as tough as it was for Li Xue to get a lawyer, Zhang Xiaotong struggled no less to get one as well. It was just that she got one after her searches while Li Xue had to go and ask her family. 

　　"Please present your sides." The judge said from the top and soon the victim's lawyer stood up to present his side first. Sorting out the papers, he asked the judge's assistant to present them to the desk as he began to explain. 

　　"Your Honor, my client has filed this case against Ms. Li Xue, accusing her of influencing society wrongly. As we all know, models and actresses have several followers who follow them blindly. So, it becomes the responsibility of the other side of the party to go through the product they are advertising. After all, there are thousands of teenagers following them and we can't let the youth walk on the dangerous path. My client is trying to help society after suffering one of such situations" 

　　He said and at that time a soft chuckle was heard in the court, that stiffened everyone's spine. As Lawyer Peng went back to take his seat, the judge and others turned to look at Shin Tingming. 

　　"Lawyer Shin, as the defender's lawyer, do you want to say anything?" The judge said. There was something else that he wanted to say but he held back knowing the position of the man. 

　　But Shin Tingming was also a righteous person and had never hesitated in accepting his mistake. So, standing up, he was first to apologize. "Sir, I apologize for my offense earlier I shouldn't have laughed. Hope you forgive me for it." As he said, he bowed a little, and then straightening up, he looked across the other desk and continued. "As for this case I have a lot to say. But before that, I want to make a note of my general thought which I and many believe personally. If a duckling desires to become a swan, the problem isn't that the swan is beautiful. But the issue is the duckling is not satisfied with herself." 

　　He said and everyone around was shocked at those words. Those were the clear insult that was slapped on the face of the girl sitting on the opposite side which has come all blunt without keeping anything back. 

　　But were the lawyers allowed to make insulting comments like this? What plans did His Highness have exactly?
