chapter-449
"If you loved your brother so deeply, why didn't you order him to kill all the assassins?
It should have been an easy fight with him around, now?"
Astaria questioned.
Hearing her questions, the Ministers and even the King frowned.
Yes, with a King Stage Cultivator with them, this battle should not have been difficult at all. In truth, Evane's bodyguard could have dealt with all the assassins alone, Lovis and his butler shouldn't have died.It was now clear, Evane was lying.
Every eye fell on her.
Evane trembled, not because she was nervous, but because of anger.
She clenched her fist and spoke with a cold expression,
"It was because of that bastard butler of his."
"What do you mean?"
Astaria frowned."Leo, Lovis's Butler betrayed Lovis."
Evane continued to explain.
"We were attacked by 2 Expert Stage Cultivators and 4 Grand Master Stage Cultivators, at that moment, my bodyguard was still a normal Grand Master Stage Cultivator.
I wasn't planning on revealing my trump card unless it was absolutely necessary."
Evane explained and a few people nodded.
That was something they might have done as well.
"The battle started, I and my guard were fighting 1 Expert Stage Cultivator and 3 Grand Master Stage Cultivators, Lovis and Leo, on the other side were fighting 1 Expert Stage and 1 Grand Master Stage Cultivator.
The battle was going fine and we were even winning, if it had continued the way it was going, we would have won, and maybe he was pressured because of this, Leo, Lovis's butler suddenly turned against Lovis, with 2 Expert Stage and 1 Grand Master Stage Cultivators attacking him at the same time, Lovis couldn't hold up and was killed.
In anger, I ordered my guard to kill everyone present there but…
I was too late…"
"…"
The entire hall turned silent.
"You know, the way you are throwing blame on people one after another isn't really supporting your story. It looks like a made-up story."
Astaria commented.
"I agree, Leo would never betray the Third Prince, I can assure you that." Presley Merula, the Minister who came from the Merula household spoke with conviction.
He then glanced at Evane and narrowed his eyes,
"Princess Evane, you can end your fake story now and reveal the truth."
Marlee Vestalis, the Minister from Vestalis Duke House wanted to support Evane, however, she was unable to come up with any argument.
A butler betraying his master…
This wasn't something that happened very often.
Butlers were very loyal, they were trained to be that way.
Especially butlers like Leo, who had stayed with Lovis ever since he was born.
Evane, however, completely ignored everyone and continued,
"Even I was shocked when I saw Leo brandishing his sword against Lovis, that was the reason I lost my control in the first place.
However, now that I think about all this, it all makes sense now."
"What do you mean?" Presley frowned.
"A few days ago, I made Lovis right something on two papers…"
Evane then explained the Paper incident that happened a few days ago.
"That day, I had my paper with me, however, the paper from Lovis's room was missing. Obviously, that was the paper that was sent to Lucas.
Now Lovis would have never done something like that in the first place and the only person other than him who knew where the paper was, was Leo.
I think everything started after that day,
Lovis must have started doubting Leo and Leo must have felt it. This is why Leo decided to take this risky step and end all of it together."
"…wait, Duke Merula did say something about Lovis asking some questions about Leo…" Suddenly, Presley spoke in a doubtful tone. "And it did happen 3 days ago."
"Yes, that was the time when this happened."
Evane nodded. With one more person supporting her, her argument got even stronger.
The Entire Hall turned silent and, in this silence, Gibson Fulvanius sweated continuously.
Things weren't looking good for them, he had to do something.
"Lady Astaria."
He called out.
"What?"
Astaria questioned.
"We need to keep in mind that all of these are mere speculations, we can't be sure about anything. Everything Princess Evane said might be forged."
Gibson spoke.
"As I said before, with your power, it won't be difficult to reconfirm whatever I said," Evane answered back.
Gibson snorted and then continued,
"Also, the fact that Princess Evane's servant is a King Stage Cultivator is suspicious itself.
Where did she find him? Why is he serving her? There are too many unanswered questions."
"I do not think that has any relevance to anything here. The First Prince tried to assassinate his brother and sister and succeeded in killing his brother.
This is a grave crime, we need to focus on that first."
Evane shot back.
"I agree, we should investigate this matter thoroughly, if The First Prince is actually behind it, then I believe he should be beheaded."
Although she didn't know many things, Marlee Vestalis could see a future where Evane would become the ruler of this Kingdom. Therefore, even though she herself was suspicious of Nux, she decided to ignore it and turned against the First Prince.
"I agree."
Presley Merula nodded as well.
He wanted Justice for his Grandson.
If that Bastard Raguel was actually behind it then…
"You bastards! What are you talking about!? This Bastard might be a spy from another Kingdom!"
Gibson pointed at Nux and shouted.
"Oh yeah? A spy is still better than a Prince who has killed his own brother!"
Presley shouted back.
"You Idi-"
Gibson wanted to retort, however,
"Silence."
A wave of unbelievably powerful pressure was felt and everyone turned silent.
"We will investigate this matter. Evane, you can leave, however,"
Astaria then glanced at Nux and her brown eyes shined,
"He has to stay."
Evane, however, had a different thought in her mind, she directly picked Nux and spoke,
"Absolutely not.
Because of your stupid stunt when you were testing him, he is injured, I have to tend to his injuries. If you want to talk to him, talk after he is cured."
Saying that, Evane turned around and with Nux in her arms, she walked away.
