Chapter 436 Melendel has no secrets
The more Scarlett thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The Fifth Princess came to the courtroom today too quickly. It just happened last night, and since no one was sure whether she would jump out because of this incident, the Baron had no time to react.

And now, Baron Wilson was dragged to the court of inquiry and could only watch the investigation by the Fifth Princess's people without any way to deal with it.

Since when...

After hearing about this incident early in the morning, the Baron must have confirmed whether Deva's family was in his hands in case of any accidents. Could it be that since then the Fifth Princess's people had already... No, considering the safety reasons, they probably had sent people to monitor the Baron's mansion all night long after the incident last night.

At this moment, Scarlett saw Rowe on the field yawning slowly, as if he had not slept all night.

Scarlett: “…”

She seldom used the word sinister to describe someone, but there was no doubt that from the moment his entourage was captured, Baron Wilson had been shrouded in deep malice.

"Shaye, Ananing, you've worked hard," Lovely seemed to be reading the names of the two people on the other side of the screen, "How is it going?"

"The family of that escort has been picked up safely," Shaye said with a look of disgust, "None of these guards can fight. When they heard that we were here to pick someone up, they attacked us."

Only then did the nobles notice that there were many armored guards lying on the ground, rolling on the ground in pain. Just as one of them managed to stand up and rushed over with a sword, he was hit by a spear and thrown eight meters away without even a glance.

The white-haired woman on the second floor jumped directly from the window and waved a letter in her hand after landing.

"Look what I found. It looks like a love letter. Is it signed by...Mrs. Blanche? The words in it are really corny, haha."

"What!?" A noble in the court stood up.

“Oh…!” The nobles on the sidelines who knew some of the inside story covered their foreheads.

Facing the gazes cast over him, the Baron was obviously panicked, and tried his best to explain: "What does this have to do with me!"

"Ha, I knew you would say that." The white-haired woman in the picture took out a second roll of parchment. "Luckily my apprentice had anticipated this, so I found the deed as well."

When the deed was unfolded, the name of Baron Harlan Wilson was clearly written on it as to who owned the mansion.

"I heard last night that you were in financial difficulties and even sold your fiefdom," Anaining smiled calmly, but her eyes gradually turned cold as she looked at the magic panel. "It seems that's not the case now. I also found a lot of fire starters piled up in the basement. We have no hatred or grudges between us. Are you really planning to burn us to death?"

"Well... this is just the goods I stockpiled! I'll sell it in winter!"

In his panic, Baron Wilson did not notice that he subconsciously acknowledged that the mansion was under his name, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

This made him so angry that he turned his gaze towards Deva, grabbed the candlestick beside him and threw it at him.

"You are a lunatic! Have you been caught with something that makes you dare to do this to me!"

The candlestick did not touch Deva in the end. Rowe, who was standing in front of him, reached out and took it in his hand, and placed it on the judgment table casually.

thump.

This slight thud was like a heavy hammer hitting the Baron's heart. Facing the silence of the entire audience, he looked at the nobles in the audience and said in defense, "That's not the case! I just wanted to scare the Fifth Princess at most. I definitely didn't intend to endanger Your Highness' life!"

The ugly side of his identity is exposed.

Regardless of whether the baron premeditated the arson, the mansion under his name and his affair with another lady showed that he had problems for an aristocrat with a worrying financial situation.

It is impossible for the nobles to shield such a baron any longer. They take the right stand, but it is definitely not Baron Wilson's stand. It would be fine if he himself did not lose his composure, but facing a "colleague" who has stains in all aspects, such a person will not make them have any mercy.

Grand Duke Oakland stood up at this time.

No one knew why the Grand Duke was here today, but the indifference on his face at this moment was like a unilateral verdict on the Baron. He walked out of the hall coldly without even looking at him.

Lovely: "..."

There were still many nobles in the audience who had not yet recovered. They had not even realized how the Baron had lost so quickly. The balance of the situation seemed to have been completely reversed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a Baron who was talking to himself and no one was listening to his excuses.

Scarlett did not stand up with the second prince, but sat there and looked at the audience for a while longer.

Needless to say, even if the Baron was not convicted by the Tribunal, he could not escape the sanctions of other nobles. What she cared more about was that all this was obviously not the style of the Fifth Princess, and the man who had always turned his back to her did not even say a word throughout the whole time.

Rowe Brook...this man is indeed very dangerous.

The Baron’s defeat was not unfair.

Whether it was bribing the attendant, collecting evidence of the Baron's crimes from outside the venue, or the trial that the Fifth Princess had requested since early in the morning, the preparations and strategies they had made were far more than the Baron's. I'm afraid they had even investigated all the groundless information provided by the attendant.

But...is it all worth it?
This was the point that Scarlett could not understand the most. She originally thought that the Fifth Princess would appropriately give in on such occasions and tell other nobles not to use such incidents to pick on her, so that she would have a chance to accumulate power in the next period of time. She thought this was the wisest choice.

The Fifth Princess's attitude today was like, "You dare to provoke me? Then I'll have to investigate you thoroughly."

I have to say, it’s too arrogant.

——Want to use my identity as a princess to rise to fame? Then go ahead and try. I am always ready to challenge you.

After standing up, Scarlett's gaze lingered on that back figure for the last time. She defeated a small baron, but offended all the nobles again. Those great nobles would not let it go after learning what happened today, and they were not worried about not being able to find executors, especially those families on the field who had already made their positions clear and had no way out.

Is he really capable of handling it all?
……

The trial was over and Baron Wilson was taken into custody.

Although he was not convicted on the spot, at the request of the Inquisition, the Knights of the Royal City have begun investigating the Baron, and I believe there will be results within two days.

At this time in Shengxia Manor.

"Now you can tell me why you do this?"

In the living room of the mansion, Luo Wei, who had just got off the carriage, was caught by Loveli shortly afterwards and sat on the sofa with a helpless look on his face.

"What do you want to hear?" He yawned in response, "I stayed up all night guarding outside the baron's window." "You asked for it!" Loveli put his hands on his hips without saying a word, "I did exactly what you said and offended all the nobles. Even Lord Red Needle came! Now no one will come to me!"

"I'm still thinking about this..."

Luo Wei suppressed his smile as he took off his cloak and placed it beside him. It was no wonder that the little princess wanted to get things straight. If he suddenly disappeared without making his words clear at this moment, she would be in such a desperate situation that she would be helpless.

It’s just that she was so arrogant in the court not long ago, but now she looks like “What’s going on…!” It’s really laughable.

He looked up at the man who was not much taller than him sitting down, "Then why didn't you say what I suggested you say at the end of the trial?"

"What? You mean 'I have hidden everything there, go find it, wealth, fame, status, come and take it if you want, the world is about to usher in the era of the Great Princess'?" Love looked at him with disdain, "Are you used to being around idiots so you think everyone is an idiot, and you still think you're a bit humorous!?"

Luo Wei: "..."

Seeing that he was about to laugh out loud, Lovelli pulled him up with a dark face, as ferocious as a ghost in the royal city.

She had been playing along with him since last night. She had watched him instill some twisted ideas into the retainer, deceiving him one by one, as if he had finally realized how he was being used, and then he ran out in the middle of the night to use all the tricks based on the information provided by the retainer. Sometimes she even wondered if he thought too highly of her, a powerless princess, and that he would make such a big deal after coming to the capital. She had never heard of such a thing before...!
Lovely fiercely displayed her slightly protruding little fangs that looked like fleshy buds, indicating that she would bite if someone didn't explain clearly!
"You've always known the reason, haven't you?" Luo Wei said lightly, with one of his arms supported by her hands. "The most worrying thing about returning to the capital this time is not how many enemies there are, but that no matter what you do, they will choose to ignore you, right?"

"But there's no need to go to this extent." Lovely looked at him with a deep frown.

Of course, she knew the latter's fate. If the situation developed into that, she would be an outsider, and no matter what she did, it would be just for her own amusement, and she would not be able to shake those great nobles in the slightest.

The reason for agreeing to Luo Wei's action was that in the short term, there was no more effective way to touch the people in the royal capital circle.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with shitting on the heads of nobles?" Luo Wei asked.

"I think I deserve to shit on your head." Lovely gave him a resentful look.

"Really?" Luo Wei suddenly perked up after hearing this and nodded, "Then you can start."

"???"

She bit down hard.

Luo Wei lifted her up like a clothesline, shook his arm and looked at her: "You don't need to worry about this matter at all, let them come if they want. Since I said so, I will take responsibility to the end."

"...?"

Lovelli, with her hands grasping the air, was stunned for a moment.

"What are you talking about?" She let go and fell from mid-air, puzzled, "After what happened today, those nobles will definitely attack me even more fiercely, and try every way to embarrass me and make me pay for all the things I have done since coming to the capital. You can't be so arrogant that you can handle it all by yourself, can you? Those families have been rooted in Melendel for a long time, and you can't possibly know the weaknesses of each of them... Wait, don't tell me you really know everything?"

"Who knows."

Luo Wei wiped the saliva off his arm nonchalantly and turned aside without any worry.

Lovely looked at him with eyes full of suspicion. The reason why she had such a thought was because this guy had convicted Count Longdale from thousands of miles away with just a letter. Until now, she still didn't understand the reason. At that time, he was still in the sky returning to the country from Leyman. How could he know clearly what the nobles in the royal capital had done?
Just a side quest.

Luo Wei had no way to explain this matter. It was just that he had stayed in the capital for a long enough time in the last round and had completed all the side quests that could be completed. Thanks to him, he knew all the disputes and conflicts that happened in the slightly famous families in the capital. Although some of the names were hard to remember, it was not difficult to draw the cause and effect directly from the relevant events that left an impression. If you want to blame someone, it is because many things that happened in the capital were sometimes too weird, and it was often difficult for him to finish the task.

So in a way, Melendel had no secrets from him.

As for those who didn't know or forgot, he also knew where there were reliable intelligence channels, and he could just exchange what he had on hand. The nobles might still be unsure whether the five princesses were really determined to go all the way against them, but they didn't know that Luo Wei really knew what most of them had hidden under their pillows, so he just challenged them with a fluke mentality.

"Hey! Don't try to fool me every time the critical moment comes!!" Loveli stepped forward and grabbed him, "What on earth are you..."

Inadvertently glancing towards the door, she saw a row of heads crowded there. Lovelli was almost scared to death by them when she wasn't paying attention.

Well……

Seeing that they could no longer hide, Vimir and the others came out from behind the door, including Saya and Ananing who were out on a field trip. Except for Felicia and the three Minonis, all the others had arrived.

"Wow!" An Ning's face was full of smiles. "I thought I would hear some interesting whispers!"

“We want to join in, too,” Vimir said, clapping his fists, “but I feel like I’m of no use this time…”

Saya turned her head away unhappily.

With this large group of people coming in, Lovely suddenly felt a little confused. She thought about it and decided that she should be honest with them. After all, she was not the only one who came to Melendell with a purpose. Even if she trusted that jerk, she didn't think he could do everything by himself.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask," she walked to the sofa and sat down, closing her eyes, "including about my parents."

"Eh?" Weimir glanced at Ayin behind him and Shaye not far away, "Could it be that Luo Fuli you..."

"It's fate's intervention, isn't it?" Lovely closed her eyes. "I've noticed it since the angel senior mentioned Saya."

Shaye: "..."

What surprised Weimir was that Lovely was willing to take the initiative to talk about this topic. This must be what she was thinking...

And Irus seemed to be very interested in this.

"Since we are planning to sort out the current situation," the witch smiled faintly, "let's hold a tea party."

"..."

Everyone involuntarily turned their eyes to Luo Wei.

Although no one expressed this idea, they all realized the context of the matter. What happened in the past two days after arriving in the capital...

It's time for him to be honest with them about his thoughts.
