Lubica's light jumped out of the horizon. Thanks to the busy maids, the traces of last night's banquet had long since disappeared from the garden. Not a single trace was left behind.
The only thing that didn't change was the two dukes sleeping soundly on top of each other.
That's right, Aubry and Aradeline were still asleep. Perhaps it was because last night was the first time they had indulged themselves in a long time, so they were completely drunk and hadn't woken up yet.
After eating breakfast, Parola held an umbrella and returned to the garden with Erika and Elsa. She then sat down at a table not far from Aubry and Aradeline.
Looking at the two men lying on top of each other, Parola's eyes were filled with an indescribable expression.
"I'll go wake them up."
Erika couldn't bear to watch any longer. After all, her husband, Aradeline, was being pressed down by Aubry.
"Let them sleep. There's nothing going on in the barracks anyway."
Parola stopped Erika. She didn't know why, but she just didn't want this scene to disappear.
Seeing a man who once loved her being pressed down by her current husband … What was with this heartbeat that had disappeared for so many years?
"Grandmother?"
Elsa shouted. Parola came back to her senses. "What's wrong?"
"Grandfather is awake …"
Elsa pointed at Aradeline with a strange expression.
Parola and Erika took a closer look. Wasn't that right? Aradeline had already opened his eyes, but they were still a little dazed.
Then … When he saw Aubry on top of him, his eyes became more and more fearful.
"Ahhh!"
Aradeline screamed at the top of his lungs. With a "bang", a terrifying energy fluctuation emerged from his body.
Aubry, who had been unconscious, woke up with a start. Then, he was sent flying by a slap.
"You bastard! I'll kill you! "
After rolling on the ground a few times, Aubry was completely awake. He immediately flew into a rage. "Old man, are you crazy?!"
"You're the one who's crazy! What did you do to me?! "
Aradeline was shocked and angry. He covered his butt for a long time and only relaxed when he found that his pants were intact.
"What did I do to you?! I didn't do anything! Damn it, stand there and don't move! See if I don't hack you to death! "
The enraged Aubrey waved his hand, and the Condemnation Sword whizzed into his hand. He leapt into the air, and a ten-meter-long sword aura condensed on the greatsword. The radiance of the sword was so dazzling that it overshadowed the rising sun!
"Damn it! Are you crazy?! "
Aradeline roared, "Parola, Elika, and the others are still here!"
"Ugh — ugh ugh!!!"
Aubrey took a closer look and was instantly shocked. He forcefully twisted his body and slashed the sword Qi into the sky!
"My old waist!"
After landing on the ground, Aubry's face turned green. He could almost hear his spine groaning in pain.
"Farce … what a farce …"
Parola's face was filled with regret, but no one knew what he was regretting.
"Hmph …"
Aradeline walked over with a sour face, but avoided Aubrey. Apparently, he was worried for some reason. "Did I sleep here for the whole night?"
"Yeah, you were all drunk last night."
Elika considerately tidied up his messy clothes and whispered, "We wanted to wake you up, but Sister Parola said she wanted to punish you, so we didn't …"
Aradeline stole a glance at Parola, his expression a little awkward.
"We were all drunk?"
Aubrey was very surprised. "That kid's wine is not bad … it's strong enough!"
Aradeline agreed. Ever since they became stronger, he and Aubrey had not been drunk for a long time, even if they suppressed their powers. And yet, the Tang Hero Wine that Tang En brought them was enough for them to drink to their heart's content. It was quite rare.
"Eh? Where's that kid? "
Only then did Aubrey realize that Tang En was not here.
"His Lordship went to the Noble Council."
Elsa frowned, a little unhappy. She had wanted to face this matter with His Lordship, but she did not expect that Tang En had left alone in the morning, not even bringing Elijah with him. Now, the little girl was still throwing a tantrum and refusing to go out.
"Noble Council?"
Aubrey remembered what Tang En had said before. He had come to Alinx this time because he had received a summons from the Noble Council, and according to the usual practice, it was probably not a good thing.
Aubrey had wanted to help him, but when he thought of his attitude yesterday … he was immediately unhappy.
Why should I care? Didn't he say he could solve it? Then let's see how he solves it!
If he can't solve it, he'll have to come and beg me …
Thinking of this, Aubrey revealed a sinister smile again.
"Achoo!"
"Baron Tang En, please pay attention to your etiquette. Don't behave rudely in such a serious situation!"
In the Noble Council Hall, several members of the council sitting at the top frowned and looked coldly at Tang En, who was sneezing continuously.
"Oh, sorry, it's really … Achoo!"
Tang En sneezed again. "I'm really sorry, I keep feeling like someone is talking behind my back …"
"Please don't deliberately disturb the order of the council to stall for time, Baron Tang En."
The old man in the middle was the acting chairman of the Noble Council. The chairman could not attend because of something, so he, Leander, was temporarily acting.
Leander said faintly, "There's no point in using such tricks in front of us."
Tang En rubbed his nose. "What tricks?"
"Isn't it?"
Leander sneered. "We just asked you about the cause of Baron Hogg's death, and you're already playing tricks to stall for time. Do you really think this can get you off the hook?"
"Oh! Are you talking about Hogg? "
Leander said again, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the table under your feet has a lie detector spell. If you lie, it will flash."
Nola lay on Tang En's shoulder and asked curiously, "Lie detector spell? I think I've heard of it. "
"It's a magic that has a high learning requirement, but its effect is very weak."
Tang En lowered his head to look at the platform beneath his feet and said with great interest, "I killed Hogg."
With a "beep" sound, the table emitted a dazzling red light.
So Tang En was surprised. He could even distinguish such a thing?
Nora exclaimed, [Heh heh! It's really effective! "
He admitted it!? But he was lying!?
There was a sudden commotion in the council's seats, and many people were stunned.
One of the middle-aged fat men jumped up and roared excitedly, "You killed my son! I want him to pay for my son's life! "
"Earl Bopp, please calm down, he has admitted it."
Leander knocked the hammer. "Please believe that the Noble Council will give you a fair trial."
Earl Bopp, who was Hogg Bopp's father, sat down again, gasping.
"So, Baron Tang En, you confessed to killing Baron Hogg Bopp?"
"Hey! Didn't you see that the lie detector spell showed that I lied? "
"But you admitted it."
I've never seen such a shameless trial …
In that case, Tang En spread his hands. "That guy tried to destroy the feudal lord certificate issued to me by His Majesty Victor and even colluded with the bandits to assassinate me. Although the Empire's laws state that no one can kill a noble, otherwise they will be sentenced to death, if I remember correctly, if someone tries to kill a noble of the Empire, the one being assassinated can fight back, regardless of life or death, right? Moreover, although I'm only a baron, I'm the Lord of Ellington personally confirmed by His Majesty Victor … "
Tang En looked at Earl Bopp with a faint smile on his face. "Baron Hogg tried to assassinate the Empire's feudal lord. Can I ask Earl Bopp what he wanted to do? Was he trying to split the Empire with the intention of … rebellion? "
As soon as Tang En said this, Earl Bopp's face became extremely ugly.
No matter where it was, as long as it was still a period of centralized rule, it was not a good thing to be accused of rebellion!
What frightened Earl Bopp the most was that the lie detector spell did not respond to Tang En's words, which meant that his words were true!
"You're talking nonsense!"
Earl Bopp roared. "Leander! He's slandering! This was blatant slander! He has no evidence to prove that what he said is true! "
"Baron Tang En, do you have evidence to prove your words?"
"Evidence? As a baron of the Empire and the Lord of Ellington, my words are evidence in themselves. Do I still need anything to prove my words? Moreover, didn't the lie detector spell also prove that what I said is true? "
Leander directly ignored the lie detector spell's results and said with a sneer, "In other words, you have no evidence?"
Normally, in order to protect the dignity of the nobles, they would naturally not target Tang En, but … who asked Tang En to be a member of the royal family?
That's right, when Tang En obtained the Ellington Territory from Victor, he was already a staunch member of the royal family in the eyes of others.
"If you really want to say it like that."
Tang En spread his hands. "Then I really have no evidence to prove that Hogg colluded with the bandits, because they were all killed by me."
"Silencing them! What a vicious method! "
Earl Bopp said viciously. "Leander, I suggest that you immediately strip him of his noble status and sentence him to death!"
"Tang En, if-"
"Oh! That's right! "
At this time, Tang En clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I have to make one thing clear. I really didn't kill Hogg!"
"Tang En, do you think there's any point in quibbling at this time?"
"But I really didn't kill him."
Tang En looked at Leander very innocently. "After I entered the Lord's Mansion and killed the others, I was happily discussing the ransom with Baron Hogg when his butler killed him in order to survive."
There was still no reaction from the platform under his feet.
What he said … was actually true?
The dozens of people in the audience were in an uproar. Earl Bopp's face was very ugly.
If that was the case, then even they had no right to criticize Tang En!
"Is what he said true?"
"Is there a problem with the lie detector?"
"No …"
"How about … we give it a try?"
After hearing their conversation, Tang En thought for a moment and said loudly, "I admire Leander very much."
As soon as his voice fell, a "beep" sound was heard and the platform under his feet immediately emitted a dazzling red light.
Leander's face was as black as ink.
Tang En rolled his eyes and said, "I am a good person."
"Beep!"
Damn!?
Nora immediately burst into laughter. [You actually think you're a good person?]
This thing is broken!?
Is there anyone better than me!?
Tang En did not believe it. "Fiona is a beauty!"
No reaction.
"Nola is an idiot!"
No reaction.
Nola was furious. "I'll bite you! I'll really bite you! "
"Elsa is very cute!"
No reaction.
"Elijah is also very cute!"
No reaction.
Tang En hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I'm not a lolicon …"
No reaction.
Tang En inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, a sharp buzzing alarm sound echoed throughout the entire council hall!
"Beep! Beep! Beep! — — "
Holy shit!?
Sure enough, this thing was broken!
It must be broken!
It must be broken!
