  Chapter 151 Retirement?

  To be honest, Duanmuhuai never expected that he would be able to have such a good show just because he was idle and bored to attend the banquet.

  The reason why he agreed to Anlai to attend this banquet is mainly because the guardian civilization is currently under reconstruction, and Duanmu Huai has nothing to do for the time being. So when An said that they were invited to a noble dinner, Duanmuhuai agreed.

   After all, it was the first time for him to participate in this kind of noble dinner in reality, so he also wanted to experience the atmosphere.

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

  Retirement flow, I thought this kind of plot would only appear in novels!

   It's just that this reason is too mentally retarded!

  In the online novels read by Duan Muhuai, the general trend of divorce is mainly because the male lead’s family is poor, or the male lead has no talent, and then loses the right of inheritance, etc. The woman feels that it is not good to marry the trash male lead, so she cancels the marriage contract. Then the male protagonist said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, etc.-Although this reason is a bit snobbish, it is not unreasonable when you think about it carefully.

  Who likes marrying their precious daughter to a **** doesn't they? Unless the woman also thinks that this woman is a loser and just throws it away to save worry, she will usually choose to renege on the marriage contract.

  Of course, it is not uncommon for the man to take the initiative to break up. Duanmuhuai still remembers that when he was watching a short video, his wife gave her husband a cuckold. The husband was angry, but on the wedding day, he directly released the video of the cuckold, and then directly kicked the joke of the woman.

  But... To be honest, your excuse is really laughing out loud!

  God **** love, what kind of stupid idiot said this?

   "Master Yard...!"

  The noble lady named Audrey was also obviously shocked. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man waving.

   "Shut up, Audrey Harsha, I judge that you are not qualified to be my fiancee, and you have committed all kinds of evil deeds to Angela, so don't even think about denying it!"

   "Evil deeds...?"

   Facing Yard's accusation, Audrey seemed to be in a daze, not knowing what he was talking about, while the latter stared at Audrey and said angrily.

"Didn't you look down on Angela and even bully her because she was born as a commoner? You not only bullied her, but also stole and destroyed Angela's property, and even attempted to assassinate Angela! I've investigated it all! You are behind all the evil deeds!"

  Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, even An and Guleya's eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to say. Duanmuhuai glanced at them and asked.

"is that so?"

   "I, I have never heard of such a thing in the academy!"

  An shook her head desperately, joking, she is the princess of Manalia, if such bullying or even assassination happened in Manalia Academy, it is impossible for her to be ignorant!

   "Miss Hannah?"

   Duanmu Huai looked at Hannah, who frowned.

"Miss Audrey and Miss Angela did have some conflicts during the days when you were not in the academy, but at most it was just that Miss Audrey hoped that Miss Angela would not get too close to her fiancé. I heard something like this..."

   "We are willing to testify!"

  However, at this moment, a few more young people came out of the crowd and stood beside Yard. Seeing those people, An opened his mouth even more, unable to speak.

"What's up with her?"

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

   Facing Duanmuhuai's question, Guleya hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice.

   "These are the sons of dignitaries in the Kingdom of Manaria, and they are all important figures among the nobles of the kingdom..."

"I see."

   Duanmuhuai finally understood why An would show such an expression. Before coming to the banquet, An also introduced to Duanmuhuai that the two families engaged this time were promoted by her father and king, and were part of a political marriage. But having said that, because it is a political marriage, it is not as simple as two engagements, and it will even affect the political situation of the royal family.

However, the engagement ceremony, which the king has already agreed to, will be opposed by the heirs who also come from important ministers. This inevitably makes people wonder if there are signs of power struggles within the kingdom. Unexpectedly, a simple engagement dinner would turn out like this.

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

   "Miss Angela is indeed from a commoner background. She may not be familiar with the understanding that nobles should have, but Miss Audrey's reprimand is too much!"

   "It's obvious that Angela has also put in the effort, but it's unacceptable for you to do such evil deeds just because of your different identities!"

   Facing the accusations from everyone, Audrey's complexion became paler, and she also opened her mouth to refute.

   "I did teach Miss Angela some truths, but I don't remember ever hurting her!"

   "This is your arrogance! As the daughter of an earl with a prominent family background, you look down on ordinary civilians at all!"

  Yard stared at Audrey fiercely.

   "Stop quibbling! There are already other daughters crying to us, saying that they were forced to bully Miss Angela under your instigation!"

   Soon, several noble daughters came over and began to cry, and Duanmuhuai figured out the reason through their crying.

To put it simply, according to this group of people, as the daughter of the earl, Audrey always disliked Angela, who was born as a commoner, so she always scolded her, and even hinted that those daughters would bully her, so as to argue with her. Cleaning up the relationship... Well, in short, it looks like a vicious character like the eldest sister, second sister or stepmother in the Cinderella story.

And with the words of these people, the atmosphere of the banquet hall also began to change. Everyone began to cast dissatisfied and angry eyes on Audrey, and Audrey stood there blankly, with a look of not knowing what to do. What to do to look good.

"your Highness!"

  However, at this moment, Yard suddenly raised his head and looked at Ann. Hearing his shout, the others also turned their attention to Ann.

   "Please punish this vicious woman immediately!"

   "Huh? But... this..."

   Facing Yard's request, Ann was at a loss for a while. She originally came here, at best, to represent the royal family and send blessings for their engagement. It turned out that the engagement dinner would turn out like this, which made An Yi not know what to do for a while.

   After all, she is not very good at this kind of interpersonal communication, otherwise, Anzai would not have only Guleya as a friend in the academy.

   But just when An didn't know what to do, Duanmu Huai patted her on the head.

"give it to me."

   "Mr. Knight? Can you?"

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

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

   "Hey hey..."

  Facing Duanmuhuai's words, An shyly smiled, then she nodded, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped back. But Duanmuhuai stepped forward and stared at the crowd. Seeing Duanmuhuai's appearance, the whispers around him disappeared immediately. After all, everyone knew Duanmuhuai's reputation as a dragon slaying warrior, not to mention that he was the fiancé of An and Guleya. We all know that he will be the next King of Manaria, so naturally he dare not be presumptuous in front of him.

Duanmuhuai glanced at the people in front of him, including the pale-faced Audrey, several aristocratic heirs who were filled with righteous indignation and seemed to want to do justice for the heavens, the weeping young lady, and the girl who was held in her arms by Yard. Yes, a girl named Angela.

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

  Hmph, you are really tired of playing tricks in front of the judge.

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai said.

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

"Why?"

   Facing Duanmuhuai's outstretched hand, everyone was taken aback. Looking at their reactions, Duanmuhuai frowned.

   "What? Aren't you just now being confident and aggressive? You can't even produce any evidence and just talk nonsense here!"

  Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai first looked at the young ladies, feeling his sight, those crying young ladies were startled, and hurriedly backed away.

   "Let's start with you, you said that you were instructed by Miss Audrey to bully Miss Angela, then bring the evidence."

   "I, we..."

   Facing Duanmuhuai's scrutiny, the faces of the noble daughters turned pale.

   "We have no evidence..."

   "No? There are no notes 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 moment, a girl couldn't help herself, she looked at Duanmuhuai and began to cry.

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

"Oh I see."

   Duanmuhuai nodded.

   "Then, 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 squinted his eyes again, staring at them.

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

   "Your Excellency, you——!"

"Is not it?"

  Duanmuhuai glanced at Yard coldly.

"They can't produce evidence, and they don't have witnesses to prove their claims. 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 beat you because he sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, so I will Do it for me, don't hate me for hating His Majesty the King, do you think it will work?"

   "Woo..."

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

"Your Mightiness!"

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

   "We pledge on our reputation..."

   "How much is your reputation worth, shut up for me."

   "You, what did you say?!"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's unceremonious answer, the boy turned pale with anger.

   "How dare you insult our family..."

"so what?"

  Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, then stretched out his hand, pointing to everyone.

"Looking at your current situation, this is definitely not a temporary idea. In other words, you have already planned to make trouble at this dinner party and embarrass Miss Audrey, right? This is your own business, and I also I don't care, but what do you think of us guests at the banquet? Are you fools? We are here to attend the engagement banquet, not to watch you play monkey games here. Are you this kind of scumbag?"

  “………”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the eyes of the guests looking at the noble heirs changed. Indeed, as Duanmuhuai said, when they came this time, they didn't hear about the matter in front of them. Blessed by a newcomer, how dare you plot against us?

   Really treat us as monkeys?

   Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Yard's face turned pale.

"Your Mightiness……!"

"alright!"

   Duanmu Huai suddenly waved his hand, interrupting his speech.

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

  While speaking, Duanmuhuai strode up to Yard, then he stretched out his hand, grabbed Angela, pulled her out, and then stared at Angela carefully. And the latter was trembling at the moment, with a pale face and a look of wanting to cry but not tears. He looked like the kind of heroine in a bitter drama that easily makes men feel protective.

   It's the kind of people who fall in love first, then get pregnant, then have a miscarriage, and then find out that their best friend and her husband are together, and then they are kicked out of the house and divorced.

  But Duanmuhuai obviously won't spoil her. As a judge, he has seen too many scenes.

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

   "Guards! Put this woman in jail!"

"What?!"

   Everyone was taken aback by Duanmuhuai's decision. They didn't expect Duanmuhuai to be so horrifying and throw this poor girl into jail? !

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

  At this moment, Yard also clenched his fists and rushed forward, but Duanmuhuai slapped him to the ground with a flip of his hand.

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

   Having said this, Duanmuhuai gave another cold stare at those noble young masters who had just stood up and "courageously exposed the testimonies".

   "Now all follow me to the palace! Find out this matter in front of the king!"

   No one dared to disobey Duanmuhuai's order. After all, everyone knew how ruthless this dragon slaying hero was, not to mention that just standing there made people feel frightened. And those noble young masters got into the carriage angrily, obviously planning to run to the king to sue the imperial court.

  Of course, Duanmu Huai also ordered people to inform the parents of these idiots—the son is not the father of the father, come out together and admit to beating and punishing!

"is this okay?"

  Although Ann is also very happy, she is still a little uneasy. After all, if it comes to the king, it is not a trivial matter.

   "Of course, if these **** want to use you, they will have to pay a price."

   Although Duanmu Huai was a little curious about this matter, strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him, so he was just watching from the sidelines at first.

   But after that **** named Yald named An Lai to judge, things changed.

  After all, their nonsense just now has already made the guests present feel sympathetic to Angela. If Ann doesn't sanction Audrey, it will obviously be unreasonable. In fact, only Ann, who is the first princess of Manaria, is qualified to punish Audrey. It is because of knowing this that Yard asked Ann to judge.

  This puts Ann in a dilemma. If she doesn't follow Yard's advice, she will inevitably be considered a hard-hearted princess without compassion. And if you do what Yard said... Hey, it's the other way around, are you the princess or is she the princess? Do you dare to teach her how to do things?

  It’s no wonder that in ancient times, you would be killed by copying and beheading all kinds of clans!

"hey-hey………"

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

  But at this time, Hannah asked anxiously.

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

   "Hehe, I think exactly the opposite of yours."

   Facing what Hannah said, Duanmuhuai shook his head, then he turned his head and looked at Augis beside him.

   "Augis, I want you to go to the Holy Church, find Lorena, and ask her to bring some stronger exorcists."

"Yes Master."

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Aojisi nodded, then turned and left directly, and seeing this scene, the other three girls also turned their eyes to Duanmu Huai, and then Gu Leya asked suspiciously.

   "Mr. Knight, are you...?"

   "I suspect that the woman named Angela is not human."

"Why?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the girls were all taken aback.

"Really?"

   "Some feeling, but no proof yet."

  The reason why Duanmuhuai said this is also very simple, that is, when he first looked at Angela, the display on her head was a very normal expression of [Angela (LV13)].

  However, when Duanmu Huai approached her, he found that the sign above Angela's head suddenly changed, turning into a mass of blurred words.

  Although he recovered immediately, this immediately aroused Duanmuhuai'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 her fear aura had affected her disguise. After all, even if the aura of fear is saved, it will cause a round of trembling. Although the time is very short, it cannot be resisted.

   And more importantly, although Angela was shaken for a moment before Duanmuhuai's aura of fear, she recovered quickly!

   In other words, she exempted herself from the fear aura!

  Now that Angela says that she is human, Duanmuhuai doesn't believe it anymore.

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