Chapter 151: Breaking off the engagement?


    To be honest, Duanmu Huai didn''t expect that he would be able to watch such a good show even though he came to the banquet out of boredom.


    ?The reason why he agreed to An Lai''s participation in this banquet was mainly because the Guardian civilization was currently being rebuilt, and Duanmu Huai had nothing to do for the time being. So when An said that there was a noble dinner inviting them to attend, Duanmuhuai agreed.


    After all, it was his first time to attend this kind of aristocratic dinner in reality, and he wanted to experience the atmosphere.


    ?But what Duanmuhuai didn''t expect was that he actually let himself watch a good show? !


    ??The divorce break-up scene, I originally thought that this kind of scene only appeared in novels!


    It’s just that this reason is too retarded!


    In the online novels Duanmuhuai read, the main reason for the break-up of an engagement is because the male protagonist’s family is poor, or the male protagonist has no talent, and then loses his inheritance rights, etc. The woman feels that there is no benefit in marrying the good-for-nothing male protagonist, so she abandons the engagement. Then the male protagonist said that thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don''t bully young people into poverty, etc. Although this reason is a bit snobbish, it is not unreasonable if you think about it carefully.


    ?Who would like to marry their precious daughter to a loser? Unless the woman also thinks that the woman is a loser and simply throws her out to save her worries, otherwise she will usually choose to break the engagement.


    Of course, it is not impossible for the man to break up on his own initiative. Duanmu Huai still remembers that when he was watching a short video, the wife cuckolded her husband. The husband was so angry that he made the cuckold video public on the wedding day, and then kicked the woman directly.


    But... to be honest, your excuse is really laughable!


    God **** loves me so much. What kind of idiot said this?


    “Lord Ard...!”


    ??The noble lady named Audrey was obviously shocked. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man with a wave of his hand.


    "Shut up, Audrey Hasha, I judge that you are not qualified to be my fiancée, and you have also done all kinds of evil things to Angela, so there is no way you can deny it!"


    “Evil deeds……?”


    Facing Alder’s accusation, Odile seemed to be at a loss and had no idea what he was talking about. The latter stared at Odile and spoke angrily.


    "Didn''t you look down on Angela and even bully her because she was born a commoner? Not only did you bully her, you also stole and destroyed Angela''s property, and even attempted to assassinate Angela! I have already investigated this! You are behind all the evil deeds!”


    Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Even An and Gu Leiya opened their eyes in surprise, not knowing what to say. Duanmuhuai glanced at them and asked.


    "is that so?"


    “I, I haven’t heard of such a thing in the academy!”


    An shook her head desperately. She was joking. She was the princess of Manalia. If such bullying or even assassination occurred in Manalia Academy, she couldn''t be ignorant!


    “Miss Hannah?”


    Duanmuhuai looked at Hannah, who frowned.


    "During the days when you were not in the academy, Miss Audrey and Miss Angela did have some conflicts, but at most it was just that Miss Audrey hoped that Miss Angela would not be too close to her fiancé. There was no such thing. I heard there is such a thing..."


    “We are willing to testify!”


    However, at this moment, a few more young people were seen walking out of the crowd and standing next to Alder. Seeing those people, An opened her mouth and was speechless.


    “What’s wrong with her?”


    Looking at An''s appearance, Duanmuhuai asked Gu Leiya doubtfully, could there be someone she likes among them?


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s question, Gu Leiya hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice.


    “These are all the sons of powerful people in the Kingdom of Manalia, and they are all important figures among the nobles of the Kingdom..."


    "I see."


    Duanmuhuai finally understood why An showed such an expression. Before coming to the banquet, An also introduced Duanmuhuai that the two families engaged in this engagement were promoted by her father and were part of a political marriage. But having said that, because it is a political marriage, it is not as simple as an engagement between two families, and it may even affect the political structure of the royal family.


    And now the engagement ceremony, which the king has clearly approved, is actually opposed by the successors who also come from the important ministers. This inevitably makes people wonder if there are signs of a power struggle within the kingdom. It is no wonder that An is stunned at this moment. Obviously she is also I didn''t expect that a simple engagement dinner would turn out like this.


    ?At this moment, the noble sons also stood beside Angela and reprimanded Audrey.


    “Miss Angela is indeed from a commoner background, and she may not be familiar with the understanding that nobles should have, but Miss Audrey’s rebuke is too much!”


    “Angela has obviously put in the effort, but just because of the difference in status, you would do such an evil thing. It’s really unjust!”


    Facing the accusations from everyone, Audrey''s face became increasingly pale, and she retorted.


    “I did give Miss Angela some guidance, but I don’t remember that I ever hurt her!”


    "This is your arrogance! As an earl''s daughter from a prominent family, you look down on ordinary civilians at all!"


    ?Yard glared at Audrey fiercely.


    "Stop making excuses! Other daughters have already cried to us, saying that they were forced to bully Miss Angela under your instruction!"


    Soon, several noble daughters came over and started crying, and Duanmuhuai finally figured out the reason from their crying.


    To put it simply, according to this group of people, as the daughter of an earl, Odile has always disliked Angela, who was born as a commoner, so she always scolded her, and even suggested that the rich ladies should bully her, thereby quarreling with herself. Qing Guan... Well, in short, she looks like a vicious character like the eldest, second sister or stepmother in the Cinderella story.


    As these people spoke, the atmosphere in the banquet hall also began to change. Everyone began to cast dissatisfied and angry looks at Audrey, while Audrey stood there blankly, looking like she didn''t know what to do. What to do to look good.


    “Your Highness the Princess!”


    ?However, at this moment, Yarde suddenly raised his head and looked at An. Hearing his cry, others also turned their attention to An.


    “Please punish this vicious woman immediately!”


    “Huh? But...this..."


    Facing Yarde''s request, An was at a loss for a while. She originally came here to represent the royal family and send blessings to the engagement of the two. As a result, she didn''t expect that the engagement dinner would turn out like this, which made An not know what to do for a while.


    ?After all, she is not very good at this kind of interpersonal communication. Otherwise, An would not have only Gu Leiya as her friend in the academy.


    Just when An didn''t know what to do, Duanmuhuai patted her on the head.


    “Leave it to me.”


    “Mr. Knight? Is that okay?”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, An''s eyes lit up, and Duanmuhuai also laughed.


    "Of course, you are my fiancée after all. I can''t watch you being embarrassed by others."


    “Hey hey hey……”


    Facing Duanmu Huai''s words, An smiled sheepishly, then she nodded, lifted up her skirt and stepped back. Duanmuhuai stepped forward and stared at everyone. Seeing Duanmu Huai''s appearance, the whispers around him immediately disappeared. After all, everyone knew Duanmu Huai''s reputation as a dragon-slaying warrior, not to mention that he was the fiancé of An and Gu Leiya. Although he was not awarded a knighthood, everyone Everyone also knew that he was the next King of Manalia, so naturally they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.


    Duanmu Huai glanced at the people in front of him, including the pale-faced Audrey, several aristocratic heirs who were filled with indignation and seemed to want to do justice for heaven, the crying rich lady, and the one who was held in Alder''s arms Yes, a girl named Angela.


    Then, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer.


    ?Hmph, you dare to act cunning in front of the judge, you are really tired of living.


    ?Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth and said.


    "I almost understand what happened. Since you have said so much, then... come up with evidence."


    "Why?"


    Facing Duanmu Huai’s open hand, everyone was stunned. Looking at their reactions, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.


    "What? Aren''t you just so confident and so aggressive? You can''t even produce any evidence and are just talking nonsense!"


    Having said this, Duanmuhuai first looked at the rich ladies, and when he felt his gaze, the crying rich ladies were startled and hurriedly stepped back.


    “Let’s start with you. You said that you were instructed by Miss Audile to bully Miss Angela. Then bring us the evidence.”


    “I, we……”


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s scrutiny, the noble ladies’ faces turned pale.


    “We have no evidence…”


    "No? There''s no written note or anything? Then what the **** are you making up here?"


    “No, it’s not that we don’t want to leave evidence, Your Excellency!”


    At this time, a girl couldn''t help but looked at Duanmuhuai and started crying.


    "Because Lady Audrey hinted at us, we must do this. If we don''t do this, we will become the targets of Lady Audrey''s bullying...!"


    “Oh, I understand.” Duanmuhuai nodded.


    "Then, let''s find a witness. Since you said that if you don''t bully Angela, you will be bullied by Miss Audrey, then there must be such a victim? Where is she?"


    "this………"


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s request, the noble daughters were speechless again, and Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes again and stared at them.


    “So, there is no such victim? So you are talking nonsense?”


    “Your Excellency, you————!”


    “Isn’t it?”


    ?Duanmuhuai glanced at Yarde coldly.


    "They can''t provide evidence and there are no witnesses to prove their statement. Isn''t this nonsense? According to this logic, I will punch you now, and then I will tell you that His Majesty the King wants to punch you because he doesn''t like you, so I will Come on, don’t hate me and hate His Majesty the King, do you think that’s okay?”


    ]


    Facing Duanmuhuai''s words, Yarde''s face turned pale, but An chuckled softly.


    "Your Mightiness!"


    ?At this time, another noble boy stood up and stared at him.


    “We guarantee our reputation...”


    "How much is your reputation worth? Shut up."


    “You, what did you say?!”


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s unceremonious answer, the young man suddenly turned pale with anger.


    “You dare to insult our family……”


    "so what?"


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, then stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone.


    "Looking at your current situation, this is definitely not a temporary move. In other words, you have already thought about making trouble at this dinner to embarrass Miss Audrey, right? This is your own business, and so am I. I''m too lazy to care, but what do you think of us guests at the banquet? Do you think we are fools? We are here for the engagement party, not to see you playing monkey tricks here. You are deliberately trying to treat us like fools, and you still expect me to respect you. Are you such a dirty person?"


    …………”


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s words, the guests'' eyes changed when they looked at the noble heirs. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, when they came here this time, they did not hear about the matter before them, they just came here simply to care for each other. We gave blessings to the newlyweds, but you actually dare to plot against us?


    Do you really think of us as monkeys?


    ? ? Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Alder''s face suddenly turned pale.


    "Your Mightiness……!"


    "alright!"


    ?Duanmuhuai suddenly waved his hand, interrupting his words.


    "Since you want me and An to give you an explanation, then I will give you an explanation..."


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai strode up to Alder. Then he reached out his hand, grabbed Angela, pulled her out, and then stared at Angela carefully. The latter was trembling at the moment, with a pale face, looking like she was about to cry without tears. She looked like the kind of heroine in a sad TV series that easily makes men feel protective.


    ??It’s the kind of person who first falls in love, then gets pregnant, then has a miscarriage, then finds out that her best friend is having an affair with her husband, and then gets kicked out of the house and gets divorced.


    ?But Duanmu Huai obviously would not tolerate her. As a judge, he had seen too many scenes.


    ?At this moment, Duanmu Huai stared at the girl, opened his mouth, smiled coldly, and then waved his hand.


    “Guard! Put this woman in jail!”


    "What?!"


    Everyone was shocked by Duanmuhuai''s decision. They didn''t expect that Duanmuhuai would be so terrifying and directly throw this poor girl into prison? !


    "How could you do this! Angela is obviously the victim!"


    At this moment, Yard also clenched his fists and rushed forward, but Duanmuhuai turned his big hand and slapped him to the ground.


    "The things you said were all told by this woman. She has no evidence and just slanders others at will. I think it would be good for this kind of woman to be locked up for a night to let her calm down. As for you..."


    Having said this, Duanmu Huai once again glared coldly at the noble young masters who had just stood up and "bravely exposed and testified".


    “Now all follow me to the palace! Let’s figure this out in front of the king!”


    ?No one dares to disobey Duanmu Huai''s order. After all, everyone knows how ruthless this dragon-slaying hero is, not to mention that just standing there makes people feel frightened. And those noble young men got on the carriage angrily, obviously planning to run to the king to complain.


    ?Of course, Duanmu Huai also ordered people to inform the parents of these idiots - it is a son''s fault for not teaching his father, so let''s come out and accept the punishment together!


    “Is this good?”


    ?Although An was also very happy, she was still a little uneasy. After all, if it caused trouble to the king, it would not be a trivial matter.


    “Of course, if these **** want to take advantage of you, they have to pay the price.”


    ?Although Duanmu Huai was a little curious about this matter, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with him, so he just watched from the beginning.


    ??But after that **** named Yard asked An Lai to rule by name, things became different.


    After all, their nonsense just now made the guests present sympathize with Angela. If An did not punish Audrey, it would obviously be unjustifiable. In fact, only An, who is the first princess of Manalia, is qualified to punish Audrey. It is because of knowing this that Yard asked An to make a decision.


    ?This puts An in a dilemma. If she doesn''t do what Yard says, she will inevitably be considered a hard-hearted and unsympathetic princess. And if you do what Ard said...hey, it''s against you, are you a princess or is she a princess? Do you dare to teach her how to do things?


    ??In ancient times, it would be strange to not cure your whole family but to kill all the nine implicated clans!


    "hey-hey………"


    ?An is also Bingxue smart, and of course she understands why Duanmuhuai stood up for herself. At this time, she hugged Duanmuhuai''s arm with a smile and stopped talking.


    ?But at this time, Hannah asked uneasily.


    "However, there is no need to put Miss Angela in jail. Although I admit that there will be some incidents between girls due to various reasons... but it will not be..."


    “Haha, I have exactly the opposite idea as you.”


    Facing Hannah''s statement, Duanmuhuai shook his head, then he turned his head and looked at Ogis beside him.


    "Ogis, I want you to go to the Holy Church now, find Lorena, and ask her to bring some more powerful exorcists."


    “Yes, master.”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s order, Ogis nodded, then turned and left. Seeing this scene, the other three girls also cast their eyes on Duanmuhuai, and then Gu Leiya asked doubtfully.


    "Mr. Knight, what are you...?"


    “I suspect that the woman named Angela is not human.”


    "Why?"


    ?The girls were all shocked when they heard Duanmuhuai''s words.


    "Really?"


    “Has a bit of a feeling, but no proof yet.”


    ?The reason why Duanmu Huai said this is very simple, that is, when he first looked at Angela, the sign on her head was [Angela (LV13)], which was a very normal expression.


    ?However, just as Duanmuhuai approached her, he found that the sign above Angela''s head suddenly changed and turned into a blur of words.


    ?Although he recovered immediately, this immediately aroused Duanmu Huai''s suspicion. He was certain that this Angela was probably some kind of disguise, and the reason why the mark above her head changed was because his fear aura affected her disguise. After all, even if the fear aura saves, it will cause a round of trembling. Although the time is short, it is irresistible.


    What’s more important is that although Angela was shaken for a moment in front of Duanmuhuai’s fearful aura, she actually recovered quickly!


    In other words, she was exempted from her own fear aura!


    ?Now even if Angela says that she is a human being, Duanmuhuai doesn’t believe it.


    He can be sure that there must be something wrong with this woman''s identity!
