Shania stared at the back of Robin’s departing car, her mind reeling.
<i>Standup</i>? <i>Did </i><i>he </i><i>justtellmetostandup</i><i>? </i>
Oisean, who had been pushing the wheelchair, looked just as baffled.
What did Robin mean? Was it an insult?
“Shania, does Mr. Ramsey mean your legs are fine?”
“What?” Shania’s eyes widened as a spark of hope ignited.
She took a deep breath and tried to rise. And to everyone’s amazement–she did.
Gasps filled the air.

Shania’s relieved smile after narrowly escaping disaster made Oisean exim in astonishment, “Shania, Mr. Ramsey only wanted to teach you a lesson. He never intended to destroy you or Nine Stars!”
“Yes, yes!” Her face was already streaked with tears.
“Thank you, Mr. Ramsey. You’re a true savior to our family!” Oisean whispered, his voice trembling with emotion as he held Talia’s hand. He bowed deeply in the direction of Robin’s
car.
“Shania, always remember, the Coyles will forever honor Mr. Ramsey!
“And Nine Stars will always act with kindness and benefit everyone!”
“I’ll remember that!” Shania smiled through tears.
Conall and Thorne nodded solemnly. “Mr. Ramsey is a true hero, a remarkable man!”
People often said Divine Drakebane was cold and ruthless.
They didn’t realize that the one with the hardest exterior often held the softest heart.
The group quickly got into the car, driving toward Sogas Court under the drizzle.
Shania stared out the window at the misty rain, her eyes filled with tears of thankfulness.
She thought back to her first meeting with Robin on Qacalisle Ind when she had been <b>so </b>arrogant and naive.
Now those memories filled her with chame

After the battle on Kiric Mountain, the Coyles fell from grace. The once proud heiress of the Coyles was a broken woman with crippled legs, a target of ridicule.
People like Dolidh, Ciaran, and Brighde had shown her how cruel the world could be and exposed the ugliness of human nature.
It was only through facing illness, death, and hardship that one could truly see the world’s reality.
When she stood at the top, all thepliments and kindness were just facades, driven by self–interest. They weren’t real.
Only when she hit rock bottom did the masks fall away, revealing people’s true faces.
How could anyone use their power to crush the weak?
How could someone repay kindness with betrayal and kick others when they were already down?
Life wasn’t only about wealth, status, and fame. It was about being human, not living like a beast.
Meeting the Divine Drakebane had been a turning point for Shania.
Whenever she thought of his cold, determined face, it filled her with warmth like a fresh breeze in spring.
At Sogas Grand Court, in Courtroom One, Alice stood at the defendant’s table, facing trial in ria Court.
The intiff was the Southeast Aurientia general agent of Caffepan, Valysar Lab Group.
Theirwyer presented the case, “Your Honor, the defendants, Draconian Alice Miller and Sogas resident Innis Hnd, illegally bought counterfeit Caffepan from Criele and sold it cheaply in Sogas and Draconia.
“The defendants actions tantly vite patentws and regtions concerning counterfeit and low–quality medications. This infringement damages the legitimate rights of Caffepan’s patent holder and Valysar Lab, its authorized distributor in Southeast Aurientia.
“Due to Alice and Innis selling fake Caffepan, Valysar Lab has suffered significant financial losses as the general agent of the product in this region.
“We request the court to rule that the defendants Alice and Innispensate Valysar Lab for the loss of ten million Autreynian dors and to legally seal the counterfeit Caffepan purchased by the defendants from Criele<b>.</b><b>” </b>

Since Alice didn’t have awyer, a public defender assigned by the court represented her.
“Your Honor, my client didn’t purchase actual counterfeit drugs but rather inexpensive generic versions from Criele. She made no profit from this<b>. </b>
“Caffepan’s patented medication <b>is </b><b>so </b>costly in ria that ordinary people can’t afford it.
“Both Alice and Innis are also affected by this illness and struggle to <b>bear </b>the high costs of the treatment. That’s why they turned to affordable generics.
“These generic drugs shouldn’t be considered counterfeit, nor does this situation meet the criteria for selling fake medicine.
“The excessive damages demanded by the intiff and the im of selling counterfeit drugs are therefore unjustified.
“In a sense, their actions provided patients with this illness a chance to continue living. Moreover, since my client didn’t earn any money from this, it doesn’t qualify as profiting from sales<b>. </b>
“I ask the court to deliver a fair sentence, drop the criminal charges against my client, and dere her innocent.”
Valysar Lab’swyer quickly responded, “ording to ria’s patentws and drug
regtions, all generic medications are categorized as counterfeit and substandard products, making their purchase and sale illegal.
“The ria Drug Management Act ssifies these medicines as fake.
“By bringing these low–cost generics from Criele, the defendants not only broke ria’s patent and drugws but also inflicted severe financial harm on the patent owner.
“To maintain justice and impartiality, the defendants should be found guilty of distributing counterfeit drugs, required to paypensation for the losses, and held ountable under criminalw.
“Otherwise, protecting the patent holder’s rights in the long term would be impossible.”
The courtroom was open to the public and broadcast live, which quickly led to heated
discussions online.
Opinions were divided.
Some people believed that Alice and Innis acted out ofpassion and humanitarian concern and shouldn’t face legal punishment.

They pointed out that ria had never enforced mandatory patentws, but technically, their actions did vite the criminal code.
Others felt that Valysar Lab had a valid argument and that thewsuit was reasonable.
Most of the public, especially those with kind–hearted views, seemed to support Alice and
Innis.
The judge then called for the final statements from both sides.
Valysar Lab maintained that Alice and Innis broke ria’sws and deserved to be convicted of selling counterfeit drugs.
Meanwhile, Alice’s defensewyer emphasized that the drugs sold were not actual counterfeits but affordable generics. He reiterated that their actions were motivated by a desire to help others, not by personal gain.
When both sides finished their statements, the judge prepared to deliver the verdict.
At that moment, Robin raised his hand and said, “Your Honor, may I share my thoughts on this matter?<b>” </b>
The courtroom fell silent.
Sitting in the defendant’s seat, Alice was shocked and uneasy to see Robin and the others
present.
“Sir, please respect the court’s order. Those in the gallery aren’t permitted to speak-”
the <b>spe </b>
Disregarding the objection, Robin stood and addressed the judge and the assembled media, “Honorable Judge and respected reporters, if thew is enforced with nothing but cold rigidity,ckingpassion, then such aw is sinful!”
His statement left the entire courtroom in silence.
