Chapter 160 – 160. Why Only the Parties Do Not Know (2)
“Duke! Are you going to keep denying it like that!”
“… Neither Alex nor I were complicit in Renion Hersha’s embezzlement.”
“How can you be so brazen in your evasion! There is clear evidence that Ashton Armitas, a former minor duke, siphoned off the country’s taxes along with Renion Hersha! In addition, the names of not only the former minor dukes but also the current minor dukes and dukes are all written on this list of conspirators!”
“The evidence is fake. Manipulated.”
“Still cheating!”
“How come… !”
The court meeting and hearing continued for five days.
Under the presence of Queen Diane, who is in the highest seat of honor, Abros and Alex, who were framed as the key conspirators who conspired to embezzlement with Renion Herscha, showed their undeterred appearance even during the five-day interrogation of the Krasir Guards. Was holding on steadfastly.
During the five-day interrogation, Abro and Alex honestly and unaffectedly dealt with the facts they knew, but they vehemently denied the false accusation of conspiracy.
“Queen Mama! No more hearings! I suggest that the case should be dealt with severely by punishing the nobles who conspired in the embezzlement, including the Duke of Avros, right now!”
A smile hung on the lips of a nobleman who made a proposal to Queen Diane in a booming voice.
This effectively means the decline of the noble faction of dukes led by Avros, and as a result, the support base of Prince Helena Hobby and Prince Evan, who were supported by Avros, collapses.
If Queen Diane’s son is installed as the crown prince, how could I not be happy because it means victory for the faction of the royal party that supported her and her son in the end.
All the aristocrats present at the court meeting were from the royal party faction, and they were all full of ambition to rule the country at will, carrying the prestige of Prince Damien and Queen Diane, who had become crown princes.
And finally, when Queen Diane’s mouth was opened.
“Then the nobles on the list of conspirators, including the duke’s family…”
Quaang!
“Excuse me!”
“What! Who is this!”
“What a commotion at the sacred court meeting… !”
“I-that sleep… !”
Many aristocrats stiffen their faces when they see a man with silvery white hair who violently kicks the door and storms into the court meeting hall.
“Ugh, the silver snake…”
“Is that him again!”
“Heh.”
At the center of the hearing, Abros, who was sitting on a desk and chair that was placed as if he were on the scaffold, smiled at Eunhyun’s appearance.
“Haha!”
The reason why he appeared was happy for Alex and Leo, who smiled silently as well.
“Hey~ I’m glad you weren’t late?”
“What are you guys doing here!”
“Someone sent that bastard into the royal castle!”
“Guardian Knights! That person right now… “
The atmosphere in the meeting room started to become noisy at once with Eun-hyeon’s tumultuous appearance.
“Ha, ha, you! Can’t you go a little slower?!”
“If it’s too late, ‘Eleanor”s precious father and older brother will be decapitated, right?”
“Yeah, but… Whoop, whoop.”
Actually, it wouldn’t be a matter that would blow her throat, but Eleanor breathed heavily and frowned at the level of jokes she was spouting.
Eleanor, who had hurriedly followed Eun-hyeon, was still out of breath, and she was not given enough time to catch her breath.
“Leah, put them on the floor.”
“I accept your order!”
Emilia threw her Ashton and Bark, which she carried on her shoulders one by one, to the floor.
The two people in a state of restraint fall roughly to the floor with a thud.
“… I have to gently put it down.”
“I did not receive such an order.”
Emilia brushed her shoulders with her hand as if she had been carrying something dirty.
When she ordered Barque to be lifted up, she did not want to touch the toad and demanded a revision of her order.
Eun-hyeon, who had her cheesy smile, spoke to Queen Diane, who was frowning at Eun-hyeon as she sat in the middle of her uppermost seat, looking at Eun-hyeon.
“Queen, it seems we see each other often. Is this the second already?”
“… This is a place outsiders are not allowed to enter. No matter how much Princess Eleanor’s identity is guaranteed, it is the law of this country that you cannot participate in the court meeting without permission. Let me leave right now…”
“Did you catch Renny on Her Sha and her ringleader who conspired to embezzle her breach of trust?”
“…”
When Eun-hyeon touched her fainting Ashton with her own foot, Queen Diane’s expression distorted even more.
“Even so, you are neither a noble nor a citizen of this country. Outsiders who are not related, get out immediately! Walter!”
“Yes! Queen Mama!”
This was, of course, an expected reaction.
Eun-hyeon did not erase the smile on her own face and immediately opened her mouth to present her ‘next card’ that Queen Diane could not refuse.
“If you do, you will regret it…”
“There is no relationship. Queen. I am not even an outsider in this case.”
“Eh?”
Abros interrupted the conversation between Eun-hyeon and Queen Diane out of nowhere.
“What did you say now? Duke? Isn’t that man an outsider?”
“That’s right. That man, Eunhyun… He is the one who will be my son-in-law.”
“… What?”
It’s the same as Eunhyeon, who has a stilted voice, didn’t expect Abros’ words.
Eunhyeon puts on an expression saying, ‘I don’t know what the hell that nobleman was talking about.’
“… ?”
A moment of silence falls over the entire court meeting as Queen Diane, unable to understand what she was talking about, loses her words.
And that silence made a lot of noise around with a tremendous recoil.
“What?!”
“Princess Eleanor is getting married?!”
“What the hell is this!”
“You mean ‘Flower of Pernin’ had a fiancé?!”
“That man went to rescue my kidnapped daughter and his fiancé, and is involved in and involved in this case. Rightfully that man deserves to be in this hearing.”
The unexpected action of Avros, who exploded the bomb with a calm expression, made the conference room noisy.
In such a noisy meeting room, a man and a woman who are at a loss for words that don’t match the atmosphere and are silent look at Avros and Alex.
Like his father, Alex’s attitude, which seems to know this fact and shows no reaction, is embarrassing.
“Ah, father… !?”
The puzzled look on her face made Eleanor’s determination overshadowed as she pondered how to convince her own father.
The face of Leo De, who was staring at Eun-hyeon quietly, she also had an expression that she knew.
Eunhyun stared at Abros’ face.
Soon, Eun-hyeon’s body slowly disappears leaving behind an afterimage, and she reveals herself right in front of Abros, displaying the ability of Lee Hyung-hwan.
“What!?”
“What the hell is that move… !”
With both eyes witnessing the high-speed movement leaving afterimages, the Royal Guard, including Walter, were shocked and impressed enough to make shocked faces, and no one could react and stop Eun-hyun’s actions.
In an instant, Eun-hyeon approached the chair where Abros was sitting and asked Abros in a small voice.
“What are you doing here?”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you spread the false relationship between me and ‘Princess’? Even though it was a means to get me into this meeting, this is not a good number. Isn’t that a handshake?”
As much as that, the story of Eunhyeon and Eleanor’s marriage story arouses great upheaval.
The meaning of the Duke giving his daughter to a man who is not a citizen of the Kingdom of Pernias and even has the status of a commoner is not a matter that can only be decided within the Duke of Armitas.
There are many nobles in the kingdom who have admired her for her appearance, the prestige of her in-laws as her ducal family, and her outstanding ability as a priest in her own right.
Even the marriage with Eunhyeon does not lead to the national interest of the kingdom.
The proof is that the royal family as well as many aristocrats did not like this fact and were confused and in a tumultuous situation.
There is no doubt that he will use his energy to stop Eun-hyeon and Eleanor’s marriage.
Besides, another problem.
“If Illyana finds out about this fact, I will really die. Duke. Don’t you know?”
“No need to worry about that.”
“… What?”
“Have you already obtained permission from her witch?”
“What… ? Ah.”
– Don’t get hurt and come back alive. Then, even if you make another woman and come, I will forgive you.
“No way…”
Eunhyun recalled Illyana’s words.
Why, when, where, and how the engagement and marriage were established that only the parties involved do not know, this situation is so absurd that it makes me speechless.
[Whooping!]
Belldandy smiled as if he found this situation very amusing and kindly stroked his apostle’s silvery white hair.
“Wasn’t this meant to be?”
“… What do you mean?”
“I realized that the title you call my daughter has changed, and I think your relationship has changed…”
Abros, who soon came up with a possibility, stopped his words, narrowed his eyes, and glared at Eun-hyeon in the chaotic meeting room.
Eunhyun usually used the title of ‘Gongnyeo’ when calling her Eleanor.
When she realized that Eun-hyeon’s attitude toward him in a familiar but extremely public tone had changed, she intuited that the relationship between the two had changed, and she quickly jumped ahead.
Abros did not miss the small change of calling her by the name ‘Eleanor’ rather than her title of ‘her princess’.
But now, Eleanor’s title has been changed to ‘Gongnyeo’ again.
What the hell could this mean? Abros thought for a moment.
“Did I get it wrong? Or not… The relationship has changed, but doesn’t that mean you’re not openly taking responsibility?”
“No, it’s not that kind of problem, you know? I don’t know what the heck the duke is thinking.”
“… I’ll ask you one thing. Did you lay a hand on Eleanor?”
“… !”
Eunhyeon instinctively trembled his body and checked the reaction around him.
Eleanor, who was not taken aback by the sudden declaration of Avros, dyed her face red and made a puzzled expression, and Krasir Guard Knights approaching to stop Eun-hyeon, who belatedly approached the center of the meeting room, next to Avros. It is visible.
“… Yes.”
The situation was the situation, and Eun-hyeon, who couldn’t see her heart breaking in the end, said that he hugged her to comfort her heart, but this fact itself did not change, so Eun-hyeon did not make any excuses and only gave an affirmative answer.
“Whoa…”
Reluctantly hearing the affirmative answer, Abros’ eyes twitched, and at the same time his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
The daughter of an aristocratic family who did not keep her virginity until marriage, and the man who touched his own daughter. It wasn’t disappointment or anger towards the two, but when Abros heard the truth, complications lingered in his heart, and his face filled the depths of
Soon after, she turned her head and glared at Eun-hyeon, and Abros opened her mouth.
“If you decide to take responsibility, be sure to lose.”
– It’s your responsibility… You use some pretty heavy words. Can you really take responsibility for that?
“… All right.”
Eun-hyeon decided to take responsibility for her while having a relationship with Eleanor in the future, but long before she made her decision, Abros, who noticed her daughter’s heart that she was not aware of, took care of her Iliana. It was deeply disturbing to her that she had drawn in and envisioned such a future.
As if waiting for the right moment, Lyod stood up from his seat and shouted loudly while looking at Queen Diane.
“You are the one who brought back your kidnapped fiancé! A man who showed bravery even by catching the ringleader! Eun-hyeon demands attendance at the court meeting!”
When Riod’s loud request echoed through the meeting room, the noisy noises of the nobles suddenly stopped, and all the nobles in the meeting room stared at Queen Diane, who was the one who decided on this request.
Eunhyeon also opened her mouth again, staring at the guards who were approaching to subdue her.
“… When it’s over, I have a lot to say.”
[Whoops! Hey It’s so cute how shy you are.]
“That goes for me too.”
Even at the beginning, the relationship between Eunhyeon and the duke’s family could not be called good even with good words, but Eunhyeon was about to sigh as to why it had come to this point.
What’s interesting is that while stroking Eunhyun’s hair, she left behind Belldandy, who was covering her mouth with her other hand and smiling elegantly.
Eunhyun opened her mouth after staring at the royal knights and Queen Diane.
“Lia, throw those two over here.”
“… I don’t want to come into contact with the toad, so I modified the command… I accept your order.”
Looking at Eunhyun’s face again, Emilia threw it as hard as she could while holding on to Ashton and Barque’s clothes with an expression that she couldn’t help it.
Buaak
“…”
Unlike Ashton flying through the air and throwing his body into the center, Barque is unable to withstand the enormous weight and eventually his clothes are torn and he falls back to the floor.
Emilia, who was extremely reluctant to come into direct contact with Barque’s skin, raised her eyebrows in contempt.
She lifted Barque with a hand motion as if touching some hideous filth and threw it right into the center of the conference room where Ashton was.
Cooung
It wasn’t enough to shudder at the sound of Barque’s giant hitting the floor for a while, and it wasn’t enough to see a little girl of about 13 years old simply lifting a huge Barque several times her size and treating her as if throwing a ball at her. Numerous nobles stared blankly.
“I didn’t see any strengthening of the body through magic…”
The figure of a doll or golem that is made up of thousands or tens of thousands of very elaborate and small parts that integrates the essence of magic science is an ordinary girl in the eyes of other nobles.
From Eun-hyeon’s intrusion, taking advantage of the moment when she was distracted by Abros’ sudden declaration, Eun-hyeon took action to prevent the nobles and queens from waking up and defending the initiative.
The queen never gave permission for Eunhyeon to invade, but it was right that now, with some legitimacy secured through the support of Avros and Riod, was the right time.
“Wake up.”
After being thrown by Emilia, she grabbed Ashton by the collar and forced him to stand up on the floor. Eunhyun glanced at Abros’ face.
Seeing the face of his son, who had committed a mistake and burned with a vengeful spirit, dominated by the sense of betrayal that he had abandoned himself, without even reflecting on the sins he had committed, Abros gnashed his teeth tightly and his clenched fists trembled. Trembled
However, despite this, he did not stop Eun-hyeon from treating her son harshly.
It was because this was the result of not being able to abandon his affection for his child until the end and not punishing Ashton harshly.
He realized that his own judgment had almost ruined her daughter’s life and brought about the collapse of the entire family.
Seeing Avros’ face as he closed his eyes and looked away from Eun-hyeon and Ashton, Eun-hyeon realized that he had finally given up on his son.
The fact that he turned his gaze away and gave up altogether also meant that he would entrust the treatment of Ashton to Eun-hyeon.
Eunhyun moved her gaze to Queen Diane, who was glaring at her.
As I threw Ashton’s collar forward, Ashton’s body staggered and fell forward in vain.
“Now, testify with your mouth. Everything you did.”
“Nice… Ugh!”
Ashton, who realized that he was talking to himself and not to anyone else, glared at Eun-hyeon with shameful eyes as if to kill him, but gnashed his teeth.
When the answer she wanted did not come out, Eun-hyeon trampled the wound on Ashton’s shoulder, which had been bandaged and stopped bleeding with basic healing magic.
“Ah!”
