Fletcher's face turned cold. How could he not understand the aning behind these words?
The crown prince has displayed his outstanding capability to dominate the power in the secular world at such a young age. If he were to ascend the throne, then these nobels and aristocrats could only prostitute themselves under his feet. There is no way they would happily accept such a future. Thus, countless attempts to strip him from the right to inherit the throne has striven, but all of them were in vain.
How are they supposed to make this helicopter parent see his kid in a dreadful way???
The only advantage they could fight with is the fact that this crown prince is cursed. Although Lennox is actually not, saying that he is cursed is better than admitting that he is a supre disastrous ghost that possessed the crown prince's body.
He is not Everly to be this dumb.
People with brains will try to build friendly relationships with Lennox while patiently waiting for an opportunity to strike. Only idiots would straightforward voice the topic of his curse out. Especially when the Emperor doesn't give a shit about such a matter.
The room fell into silence. This guy here, who has just recently joined the Noble Council, seems to have overestimated his importance and foolishly stuck gold on his face. Even if one was a mber of the Noble Council they can't run their mouth as they please. Bluntly accusing an imperial prince is just asking for death, even general Egerton, who said to be a close friend to the Emperor, always pays attention to his words.
Marquese Lanier Esterhzy couldn't bear to see his sister's husband make a fool of himself. He let out a dry cough before saying lightly.
" Earl Govan, saying such words without bases, you might unknowingly offend the imperial family "
" Calm down brother, I am only expressing my opinion "
' NO ONE ASKED FOR IT!! '
Seeing his brother-in-law actually saying what was in his empty head, Lanier closed his eyes. There was no helping, this guy is dead.
" I say, His highness's curse might have flared and caused him to commit a grieve sin. After all, we have all witnessed what happened three yea "
Fletcher who was about to enter 'loyal dog' mode, caught a glimpse of a blue shadow rushing in front of him. The next second, Earl Govan was laying on the floor with a red round mark covering his face as jingling sounds echoed from sowhere.
Everly, who was pretending to be invisible, abruptly stood on the chair. She glared at Earl Govan furiously as her face twisted in anger.
" Are you saying that Lennox is bad?! Lennox is not bad!! He plays with Everly and gives her a lot of sweet things, Lennox is a good boy! You are the bad one here! Your whole family are baddies!! "
Although she was serious, her round baby face and tender soft voice betrayed her. No one could found her threatening, rather she looked cute.
Everly jumped on the table, ready to dash towards Earl Govan when Fletcher quickly grabbed her. shouting as she vigorously punched the air.
" How dare you say Lennox is bad!! Everly will fight you! Whoever says that, Everly will fight you all!! Hn yun ghu!!! "
The last weird babblings sounded kinda adorable, causing the black lines on the other people's faces to fade as they made dry coughs to hid their smiles. Earl Govan sat there on the ground petrified, this was the first ti in his life that he had the urge to slap a kid. With gritted teeth, he said impatiently.
" young lady, I was rely stating facts- "
Fletcher, who was taken aback by how soft Everly was, finally returned to his senses. He said in a stern voice, glaring at Earl Govan.
" Earl Govan, accusing the imperial family is a cri worthy of death. Are you not afraid that today's matter will reach his majesty? "
Earl Govan was rendered speechless. He finally noticed the ridicule and mockery gazes of the other nobles. No one said anything but everyone questioned if the Emperor was drunk when he decided to join this idiot with them.
Just when the air started to get more intense, Everly suddenly slipped from Fletcher's embrace and started floating on the air.
Everly: "....."
She was yet to start crying when a red talisman flew over the round table and rested on its surface. Lennox's indifferent voice sounded from it.
[ Greetings, noble ladies and gentlen. Pardon my intrusion, but I heard that my fellow playmate was making a ruckus at the eting room so I will be picking her up, thank you. ]
Once the voice faded, Everly was already floating towards an open window. She was silent for a mont before suddenly exclaiming.
" Wait! Everly's ball too! "
With jingling sounds, the blue ball, which was used as a bullet a few minutes ago, instantly flew to her arms. Everly hugged the ball with a satisfied smile on her face, she floated out the window and disappeared sowhere.
"..."
An awkward silence filled the room. What was the point of all of this? Not knowing what they should say, no one spoke until the guards announced Jennings's arrival.
" Attention! His majesty, Emperor of Sitia, has arrived "
Everyone in the room bowed towards the entrance as Jennings walked in, while Carson followed behind, carrying a bunch of docunts with him.
Jennings sat on his seat as he waved his hand singling for them to raise their heads. He waited for them to settle down before taking a close look at their dark and uncertain faces.
Jennings was speechless. He exchanged a questioning glance with Carson, but the other doesn't seem to understand the situation. He cleared his throat, asking.
" is sothing the matter? "
The Emperor was asking, so soone has to answer. After a mont of hesitation, Fletcher decided to speak up.
" nothing to be concerned about, your majesty. It's just a mont ago, young lady Everly stopped by and...."
" ....oh "
There was no need for further explanation, Jennings could imagine what happened here.
" Children are children. Let's put this matter aside and start the eting "
With that, Carson moved and started distributing the files of docunts in his hands. Once everyone got a copy, Jennings spoke again but his tone was firm and cold, unlike his usual friendly attitude.
" We have made a primary investigation regarding those involved with the forr general, count Viglas, to assist Us in making Our decision. After receiving reports, We have to say that We are very.much.disappointed in many of you "
The last few words made their bones freeze.
Great, they fucked up.
