Chapter 152 Interrogation
In the throne room, Duanmu Huai stood aside with his arms crossed, staring at the show in front of him with interest.
After learning from Ann what happened at the dinner, His Majesty the King was really furious and immediately convened a meeting to summon all relevant people to inquire about the situation.
And even in front of the king, those noble children still swore that all this was Miss Audrey's fault. It was because she looked down on Angela that she secretly sent someone to harm Balabala... Of course, just like Duanmu Huai at that time Again, they can't provide any evidence to support their claims.
As for the fathers and brothers of the noble children, they were very angry now. They also knew that this was not an ordinary children's quarrel. Their children had joined forces to break the marriage in public, and even slandered the earl's daughter. How would the king see it? Could it be that you suspect that these bastards are going to unite and rebel privately?
As for Earl Hasha, he also burst into tears and begged the king for justice. No matter what happened in the matter, but since the other party broke off the engagement in public, the engagement between the two families was completely void, and Austrian Miss Dai'er will definitely not be able to remarry...
Although the king was furious, he calmed down and investigated and inquired about the whole matter.
After all, the core still lies in whether Miss Audrey bullied Miss Angela.
The statement from the noble heirs was that they had seen and heard it with their own eyes and ears, and they categorically stated that Miss Odile had indeed bullied Angela. Although they could not provide evidence, they stated that they absolutely did not lie.
As for Miss Audrey's testimony, she did talk to Angela. After all, she and her fiancé are very close. As a fiancée, it is understandable that Audrey went to talk to Angela and asked her to respect herself. . But as for the bullying mentioned, Audrey herself has never done it.
Then there was the speech of Hannah, the student president of Manalia, as a third party. She testified that Miss Odile and Miss Angela did have quarrels in the academy, but they were just innocuous conflicts, and the student union had mediated several times. , As for the bullying and even murder that Miss Angela said... they really haven't heard of it.
So things fell into a very strange situation.
What is certain at present is that Miss Audrey and Miss Angela do have conflicts. However, on the issue of whether they are being bullied, the two sides have completely different opinions. Miss Audrey insisted that she did not bully Angela, and Student Council President Hannah also stated that the Student Council had not received any reports of bullying.
However, according to the noble heirs, Angela was bullied every time in a place where no one was around, so no one knew.
But the magical thing is that every time they "happen" to witness the scene of Angela being bullied...
Hey, this is strange. There are so many students in Manalia Academy, how come you are the only ones who encounter this kind of thing every time?
As for why they did not report it to the student union, according to these noble heirs, Angela cried and begged them not to make the matter a big deal, and said that it was not good for everyone to be in the same class. It's just that I've been slightly wronged, it's nothing at all.
Well, this reminds Duanmu Huai of those heroines in those eight o'clock TV series who had this kind of virtue. She didn't resist even though she suffered a loss, she just cried and lamented that her life was bad, and then she met her true love... …
Speaking of true love, that Young Master Yalder is really amazing.
Even in the throne room, he still made it clear that he and Angela were in true love, and that he would never fall in love with anyone other than Angela in his life. His father was so angry that he even slapped him several times. A slap in the face that made that idiot's face swollen.
Facing the farce in front of them, An and Gu Leiya were speechless. In this world, the so-called marriage contract is not mandatory, but is more similar to a letter of intent for cooperation. Just like the marriage contract between An, Gu Leiya and Duanmu Huai, to put it simply, everyone knows that this is a friendly means for both parties, and the marriage contract is more like giving both parties an opportunity to communicate with each other and understand each other.
If both parties are compatible, then the engagement ceremony will follow, and then the marriage.
If both parties can't get along, then they can also apply to cancel the engagement. Simply put, it means that the two have been in a relationship for a long time and broke up... This is not unreasonable.
But destroying the marriage directly in front of everyone at the engagement dinner is a naked slap in the face, and it can't be done without any hatred or hatred.
Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, just watched with cold eyes, pretending to be watching the live version of the eight o'clock show.
How stupid.
Listening to the true love in Yarde's mouth, Duanmuhuai sneered, saying that true love is all nonsense. If you weren't the son of a duke and looked like a human being, would people like you?
Just like those romance novels that girls like to read, the hero is surrounded by beautiful women, but he falls in love with a gray and ugly duckling.
Wake up, this is all made up. For a fat woman who weighs 300 pounds, don’t expect any handsome guy to fall in love with you.
In the same way, a fat man who is bored at home all day should not imagine that good things will happen from fairies falling from the sky.
The more you read the story, the more you will take it seriously.
An ordinary man with no money or power, fantasizes about having a wealthy lady who likes his gentleness like a commoner.
A shameless ordinary girl fantasizes about having a prince charming who likes her unique and interesting way.
It can be seen that, regardless of appearance and looking at essence, men and women are the same.
"What do you think?"
The king had a headache due to the noise in front of him, and the king helplessly looked at Duanmuhuai who was standing beside him, while Duanmuhuai thought for a while and said nothing.
At this moment, the guards came forward.
"Your Majesty, Miss Lorena from the Holy Church and others are here."
"Let them in."
Soon, Duanmuhuai saw Lorena walking into the hall under the leadership of Ogis, and besides her, there was another person that Duanmuhuai could not imagine.
It was a girl with short light brown hair and a pair of white wings behind her—well, if Duanmu Huai remembered correctly, she was the angel who had previously destroyed the demon who tried to summon the Lord of Ice Hell in the Holy City. Duanmu Huai also had a few chats with her.
"This is the Clear Sky Angel, one of the Seven Archangels, Lord Saharil."
Lorena also introduced to Duanmu Huai and others respectfully.
"When I received the invitation from Miss Ogis, she was at church, so I asked her to come with me."
"That's fine."
Hearing Lorena's introduction, Duanmu Huai also breathed a sigh of relief. After he broke the cycle of reincarnation in the Holy City world, the heavenly world was once again connected to the Holy City. Therefore, angels came to the Holy City from heaven. It's not a particularly strange thing.
Moreover, angels and demons are mortal enemies. If there is something wrong with that woman, this angel lady should be able to see what's wrong with her. Instructing Lorena and Saharil to stand aside, Duanmuhuai looked at the hall in front of him again. At this time, everyone was still arguing, and at this moment, Duanmuhuai suddenly remembered a question.
"Something's not quite right."
"Hmm? What's the problem? Mr. Knight?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai talking to himself, An asked curiously, and Duanmuhuai nodded, then took two steps forward.
"Can I ask a few questions?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone stopped hastily, and even the king looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
"Of course, I feel like there's something wrong with these people's accusations."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the young aristocratic heirs. Sensing Duanmu Huai's gaze, these aristocratic heirs all trembled, but they quickly cheered up and looked at Duanmu Huai with the same hatred and hatred - after all He is the culprit who put Angela in prison. In their view, Duanmu Huai is also their enemy.
"From what you said, the bottom line is that Miss Audrey can't stand Miss Angela, so she has been suppressing and bullying her. The reason is that she is just a commoner..."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai frowned.
"But how do you know this is the reason? Logically speaking, shouldn't you think that your fiancé is too close to other girls, so you don't like that girl? Has Miss Audrey personally said something like this? , what can a commoner like you not afford?”
"I, I have never said such a thing!"
Audrey shook her head vigorously, and Hannah next to her also proved it.
"That's right, Miss Audrey has never shown any intention of looking down on civilian students."
"That's strange."
Duanmuhuai touched his chin, narrowed his eyes and stared at everyone.
"In that case, why do you insist that Audrey looks down on Angela because she was born a commoner? Are you the roundworm in Miss Audrey's belly?"
“This………………”
Facing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the noble heirs were also at a loss, but soon, someone stood up.
"Miss Angela told us personally. She said that she knew that she had a humble status and should not be so close to Alder..."
"Oh, it means that if her status is not humble, she can steal other people's fiancés, right?"
"Uh..."
Sure enough, there was something wrong with that woman.
Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, he had always felt that something was wrong with this. But when these noble children expressed indignation that Audrey looked down on Angela because she was a commoner. At that time, Duanmuhuai felt something was wrong.
The reason is very simple. There are many civilians in the Manalia Magic Academy, even more than the nobles. There may be nobles who look down on the civilians, but at the moment, is it putting the cart before the horse to insist on this?
Even if you say that Miss Audrey is a jealous person who doesn't like others getting close to her fiancé, wouldn't this be more appropriate?
It's like two people quarreling. If you insist on blaming the conflict on institutional problems, then you have to wonder if there is something wrong with it.
If you think about it carefully, Audrey's marriage was ruined by Alder in public. This matter will definitely spread, and the students of the Magic Academy will definitely know. If they find out that the reason is that Audrey, as a noble, looks down on civilian students. , what will they think?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made a decision, then he turned his head and looked at the king.
"It seems that we have to invite this Miss Angela here to have a good talk."
Soon after, Miss Angela was brought to the main hall by the guards. Perhaps because she was imprisoned by the guards, her face was pale at the moment, and she looked so weak that she would collapse if the wind blew. Looking at Miss Angela in front of them, the aristocratic heirs began to stir again - but they were quickly suppressed by their own family members.
"Are you Angela Celtic?"
Hearing the king's words, the girl in front of her also raised her head and stared at the king. Her appearance was indeed petite and cute, with a fragile and slender body and a pair of charming eyes. She looked like the kind of person who wanted to take her. Holding the girl in his arms and protecting her, it is no wonder that the noble heirs felt that she was the one who had been wronged.
"I'll ask you straight to the point."
Even the king's eyes looking at Angela became gentler.
"Do you have a close relationship with Alder, the Duke's son? Have you ever been in love with him?"
"No such thing, Your Majesty."
Angela's eyes were melancholy and she lowered her head, but her voice flowed out from those thin, small lips like cherry blossoms.
"Sir Arde takes good care of me in the academy, but I know my identity and I have absolutely no idea of overstepping my bounds. Although I don't have a bad impression of Lord Arde, I have never thought of breaking up Lord Arde. marriage.”
The girl's voice echoed in the hall like a clear spring. The beautiful sound like cool spring water even felt like it was poured directly into the brain. At this moment, everyone was attracted by the girl's voice and stared at it. Holding her. Even the nobles who originally had no good opinion of Angela and were at war with each other, now the atmosphere has relaxed.
Something's wrong!
Only Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a chill in his back and instantly realized the problem.
With just one sentence, he immediately changed the atmosphere of the entire field and made everything around him develop in a direction that is beneficial to him. This is not something ordinary people can do!
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this woman!
Almost at the same time, Duanmuhuai also saw Saharil staring at Angela. There was no sadness or joy in her eyes, and she did not waver at all. The next moment, the angel girl raised her hand, and with her movement, an angel arrow flew out and shot directly towards Angela! !
