Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-215-30041322

“Wha, what did you say? What are you talking about?”

“Lord Alexandre, and Alexandra-sama, of course, knew. If they truly wanted to marry His Excellency Alexei and Miss Keira, they would have gone through all the formalities. It would have been sanctioned by the Emperor. And yet you only have this letter.”

Novadine was at a loss for words when he was questioned about his letter.

“I suppose that Lord Alexandre prepared this letter, knowing it to be inadequate, and Alexandra-sama signed and sealed it. That means that neither of them really wanted this to happen.”

Danielle continued.

“As a matter of fact, Lord Alexandre did this often. If someone asked him to do something difficult, he would give them this letter and smile, saying that he had granted their wish because he didn’t want to let people down. Oh, and Count Novadine, since you’ve been friends for so long, you must have known Prince Alexandre was this kind of man, didn’t you?”

“No…don’t lump me together with those hopeless people. I am special! I am his best friend!”

Sweat was beading on Novadine’s forehead as he said this.

This man knew Alexandre’s [kindness] well. He may have even sneered at those who wished to benefit from his kindness. Feeling superior to others, thinking that he was the only one who was different. If this was brought up, the validity of this letter would be further denied

“It seems that Lord Alexandre was a very charming man. He made many people feel like they were special to him.”

Danielle nods with admiration. The words were a direct way of saying that he was not special.

Perhaps none of the people who thought they were special to Alexandre Yurinova were actually special. That was right, none of them.

“I’m afraid to say it, but no matter how much she favoured her, did Alexandra-sama really want Miss Keira to marry the Duke? Your family’s title is only a Count, after all.”

At the lawyer’s words, the hall fell silent.

“You’re so rude! How dare you call yourself a lawyer, young man! What do you know? It was certainly prepared in the hope that the two of you would make Keira a duchess!”

Novadine howled, but the people became sober and collected. Those who had believed Novadine’s earlier declaration of engagement were disgusted with themselves after hearing the lawyer’s convincing words.

Some still remembered Alexandre’s wife, Anastasia, the daughter of a venerable marquess who, in the short time she had been with her husband, had been abused by Alexandra as a lowly daughter.

“Ladies and gentlemen! How dare you listen to such words!”

Trying to change the atmosphere, Novadine began speaking loudly.

“Lord Alexandre didn’t care about the details, and Alexandra-sama thought that the formalities would be arranged by someone lower down the line. The two of them believed that all they had to do was to indicate their intentions, and everything would be arranged accordingly. You are aware of this!”

Novadine continued.

“And you, young man there, you call yourself a lawyer! I’m not sure how long you’ve been a licenced attorney, but you’re just a young man. You don’t know anything about these people, and you think you can get away with it! You will be crushed if you ever have to face a skilled lawyer in court!”

“–hou.”

Danielle’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard.

He pushed up his glasses again and smiled smugly. His face was intelligent, yet terribly–wicked.

“Oh, so you wish for this to be fought in court? I am really looking forward to it. Please tell your seasoned lawyer that I am a young man who qualified as a lawyer at the age of 18 and will do his best to fight you..”

Those who have knowledge about this field widened their eyes. In the imperial kingdom, the qualification to be a lawyer was granted to those who have completed their law studies at university and have passed an examination.

However, those who did not complete their law studies at university and passed the examinations were qualified to become lawyers, and they were deemed to have the same level of knowledge. The requirement to pass the exam was extremely difficult to meet.
