Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage you provided, keeping in line with your guidelines:

“Seo Jehu had little concern about this trial.

Although Eodes Chediora, the chief magistrate, taking a seat on the judge’s bench, bothered him, fortunately, the judge was Tubezohn. Seo Jehu and Tubezohn had a quite close relationship.

When they promised gold, various jewels, and even ten young slaves, Tubezohn grinned and told him not to worry about anything.

If Dong Jehu invested more capital than this and shook Tubezohn, he had considered the possible consequences then.

“Will we win?”

When Rachel asked anxiously, Seo Jehu replied with a cold smile.

“When did I ever lose to Dong Jehu?”

It was when the palace maids were chattering away in the garden.

“Why are you all so excited to talk about something interesting?”

A cheerful voice interjected among the maids’ voices.

The maids quickly stood up and greeted respectfully.

“Third Prince.”
“Ah, by greeting me so politely, it seems like I’ve interrupted a good time.”

“Interrupted? Not at all. Meeting the Third Prince is always a pleasure. Would you like to sit here?”

“Yes, please. I happened to be craving some cookies.”

Prince Herald Blenwyt spoke cheerfully as he took a seat among the maids.

The maids stared at Herald as if he were dazzling.

Beneath his resplendent golden hair, his twinkling eyes appeared kind yet mischievous, and his amber-colored irises within were as beautiful as the sun. His white skin complemented his red lips, which always bore a tender smile.

Prince Herald, kind and gracious to everyone, was well-liked by the palace staff. There were rumors that even the Emperor favored Herald over the Crown Prince, but Herald himself showed no interest in the Crown Prince’s position.

“So, what were you all talking about?”
“Ah, that’s right. On May 7th, the trial for the custody of Princess Dong Jehu and the Duchess of Bronte took place at the Supreme Court.”

“The Duchess of Bronte… Is she Seo Jehu’s daughter?”

“Yes, that’s correct. She married Dong Jehu a long time ago but divorced him after only a year or two, saying she couldn’t stand living with him anymore. It was shortly after giving birth, and she took her daughter back to Seoryeong.”

“And later, she married Jacob, the Duke of Bronte, becoming the Duchess of Bronte.”

“But these days, there have been quite a few rumors surrounding the Bronte family. Some months ago, the ladies who were invited to Bronte’s garden party came back and spoke ill of the Duchess of Bronte. They say she mistreats her second daughter.”
“Wasn’t it just last month? Back then, the youngest lady of that household was even suspected of being the perpetrator in a murder case. Later, one of the maids confessed to the crime, but do you really think that maid did it? It must have been a cover-up.”

“Anyway, the second lady of that household had it rough too. I heard she received quite unpleasant treatment. Despite being a lady, she was tasked with chores like laundry and cleaning.”

“If it’s just household chores, it’s fortunate. It sounds like she endured a lot. Her body was covered in bruises.”

As the maids chatted away, Herald listened attentively.

He already knew that Dong Jehu and Seo Jehu were visiting the Empire for the trial, but he had no idea about these intricacies. Indeed, rumors were the best source of information among the maids.
“The second lady couldn’t bear it any longer and must have run away to her father. Isn’t the Duchess of Bronte rather thick-skinned? If it were me, I’d have quietly handed over the custody rights without going to trial.”

“Indeed, they’re not your average women.”

“It’s the social season, and everyone’s in the capital, so the audience will be enormous.”

It was an intriguing case. Regardless of the second lady’s situation, Herald couldn’t miss the opportunity to witness the clash between Seo Jehu and Dong Jehu.

Even when the outcome of the trial seemed clear, there were often last-minute reversals in verdicts. It promised to be an exciting showdown.

Herald spoke with a cheerful smile, “I should try to secure a seat too.”

May 7th.

The trial for the custody of Princess Dong Jehu Russell White and noblewoman Rachel Bronte of Seoryeong was held at the Grand Court, and it was a grand affair.
The spacious courtroom’s gallery had been filled to capacity an hour before the trial commenced. Nobles and commoners without admission tickets waited in nearby salons and shops for the trial’s outcome.

The trial proceeded with arguments from each lawyer and testimonies from witnesses. Afterward, the chief magistrate representing the law and the archbishop representing the church took some time to share their opinions before the judge declared the verdict.

In this trial, having both the chief judge and the chief magistrate presiding on the judge’s bench added unique significance and meaning to the proceedings.

Ariana sat at the plaintiff’s table, with Dong Jehu to her left and their lawyer beside her.
