Chapter 186: Chapter 150 Divorce Trend?_3
Yald turned pale in the face of Duanmu Huai’s remarks, while Ann chuckled softly.
At this moment, another young nobleman stood up, staring at him.
“We guarantee our honor……”
“Shut up, how much is your honor worth.”
“What… what did you say?!!”
The young man turned pale when he heard Duanmu Huai’s blunt response.
“You dare to insult our family……”
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, then extended his hand, pointing at the crowd.
“Look at the state you are in now, this can’t be a spur of the moment decision, can it? In other words, you’ve been planning from the very beginning to cause trouble at this dinner party and embarrass Miss Audrey, haven’t you? This is your own business, and quite frankly, I couldn’t be bothered to interfere, but what do you take us, the guests at the party, for? Fools? We’re here for an engagement party, not to watch you perform monkey tricks, and you manipulated us with such scheming. Do you expect me to respect your rascality?”
The guests’ gazes at the young nobles changed when they heard Duanmu Huai’s words. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, they had not been informed of this situation when they arrived. They were simply here to offer their blessings to the newly weds. How dare you scheme against us?
Did they really take us for fools?
Sensing the change in the mood around him, Yald turned pale.
Duanmu Huai swung his hand abruptly, interrupting him.
“Since you demand an explanation from Ann and me, I will give it to you……”
He strutted over to Yald, then reached out and grabbed Angela, pulling her over. He then examined Angela carefully, who was trembling, her face pale, and looking like she wanted to cry but couldn’t. She looked like the female protagonist in melodramatic TV shows that often elicit a protective instinct in men.
The kind that falls in love, gets pregnant, has a miscarriage, discovers her best friend is sleeping with her husband, and then gets kicked out and divorced.
But Duanmu Huai obviously wouldn’t indulge her. As a Judge, he had seen too many scenes .
So at this moment, as Duanmu Huai gazed at the girl, he cracked a cold smile and gestured with his hand.
“Guards! Take this woman to the dungeon!”
Everyone was shocked at Duanmu Huai’s decision. They couldn’t believe that Duanmu Huai could be so ruthless as to lock up this poor girl in the dungeon?!
“How could you do this! Angela is clearly the victim!!”
At this time, Yald also clenched his fists and came forward, but Duanmu Huai waved his big hand and knocked him to the ground.
“All those things you said were told by this woman, weren’t they? With no evidence, they were all slurs on others. I think it’s not bad to put such a woman in jail for a night to calm down for a bit. As for you all……”
At this, Duanmu Huai once again cast a cold gaze at those young noble masters and daughters who had the courage to expose and testify just now.
“Now, all of you follow me to the Royal Palace! We need to clear this up in front of the King!”
No one dared to disobey Duanmu Huai’s order. After all, everyone knew how ruthless this dragon-slayer hero was. Moreover, just standing there made people tremble with fear. Moreover, some of the noble sons got into the carriage huffily, obviously planning to go to the king to complain.
Of course, Duanmu Huai also ordered someone to inform these idiots’ parents———if the child is not taught, it’s the father’s fault. Come out together and take your punishment!!
“Is this a good idea?”
Although Ann was quite happy, she was still a little uneasy. After all, if it reached the King, it would be no small matter.
“Of course, these bastards wanted to use you, they need to pay the price.”
Though Duanmu Huai was a bit curious about this, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with him, so at first, he was just an onlooker.
However, once that jerk named Yald asked Ann to make a ruling by name, things changed.
After all, their blathering had already aroused sympathy for Angela among the guests. If Ann didn’t sanction Audrey, it would obviously be inappropriate. In fact, only Ann, as the First Princess of Manaria, had the authority to sanction Audrey. Because Yald knew this, he asked Ann for a ruling.
By doing so, he put Ann in a no-win situation. If she didn’t do as Yald said, she would inevitably be seen as a heartless, unsympathetic princess. And if she did as Yald said……. well, she’d be damn fool, who was the princess, her or him? You dare to order her around?
In ancient times, if you didn’t execute him and his entire family, it would be strange!
As sharp as Ann was, she certainly understood why Duanmu Huai stood up in her defense. At this point, she was laughing and hugging Duanmu Huai’s arm, without speaking.
However, at this moment, Hanna broke the silence with her worried inquiry.
“But there’s no need to put Miss Angela in jail, is there? Although I admit that among girls, for various reasons, there will be some……but it’s not to the extent……”
“Hehe, I see things exactly the other way around.”
Facing Hanna’s words, Duanmu Huai shook his head, then turned to look at Ogis beside him.
“Ogis, I want you to go to the Cathedral Church, find Lorena, and ask her to bring some powerful exorcists.”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s command, Ogis nodded and left immediately. Seeing this, the other three young ladies turned their gazes to Duanmu Huai, then Greiya asked doubtfully.
“Sir Knight, what are you…….?”
“I suspect that this woman named Angela is not human.”
The girls were shocked to hear what Duanmu Huai said.
“I have a feeling, but I don’t have evidence yet.”
Duanmu Huai made this claim because, very simply, when he first looked at Angela, her name appeared as a very normal {Angela (LV13)}.
However, as Duanmu Huai approached her, he noticed that the tag above Angela’s head suddenly changed into a fuzzy word.
It recovered immediately, but this immediately aroused Duanmu Huai’s suspicion. He was certain that Angela was likely some kind of disguise, and the change in her tag was due to the influence of his Fearful Aura. After all, the Fearful Aura would cause a shudder even if it were ignored, though for only a short period of time, it was irresistible.
More importantly, Angela recovered quickly in the face of Duanmu Huai’s Fearful Aura!
That’s to say, she had ignored his Fearful Aura!
Even now if Angela claimed she were human, Duanmu Huai would not believe her.
He was certain that there was a problem with this woman’s identity!
