Chapter 254

Even for King Ruben, who always had an impeccably cal at the blatant criticism that the Duke threw He looked at the Duke of Croix with his golden-brown eyes shi+ning fiercely

“Croix, it see, who had been seated in the chair, straightened his posture and looked at hiotten that the one you are insulting now is the king’s daughter? I have decided to listen to all possible complaints in consideration of your resentful heart… I am about to run out of patience”

“…I was vexed, and I crossed the line byan inappropriate comment” The duke immediately softened his attitude but his eyes still burned with hostility “However, I can’t believe the princess’s words Isn’t it a fact that everyone knows that the two of theht now, I can’t help but doubt that the princess is lying to help cover up for this ly and looked at Max with contehter, but this girl’s intelligence is terrible Only six seasons have passed since she left Croix Castle, it is impossible that she is already a World Toizard, it would be more credible to say that a donkey has turned into a stallion!”

Before finishi+ng his words, Riftan jurily distorted face As if he would be hit at that hts stopped hilance at the Duke of Croix As if trying to break the tension, the princess spoke aloud

“If you cannot believe hts who participated in the expedition to Livadon as witnesses Maximilian not only played a role as a healer in the Allied rear, but also played a decisive role in the final battle This is a truth known to the soldiers of Livadon, Osyria, and Balto There are countless people who are willing to testify that she is an outstanding wizard”

Her father looked at her incredulously, as if he couldn’t believe those words Max hunched her shoulders, a habit she developed out of fear, but quickly straightened her back There was no reason for her to be afraid Secretly, she wiped her cold, sweaty palms on the hem of her skirt and looked directly at her father He was a skilledothers with just the look in his eyes and he looked at her with conterew red with his telare, but suddenly Max realized that her father’s height was shorter than she remembered At the sudden realization, she blinked blankly She had thought that the Duke of Croix was er than her

‘Whenever I was standing in front of those eyes full of scorn, I felt as sht was at best a little taller than Princess Agnes, his firm and tall body seemed slimmer than she remembered Compared to a troll or a olf, he looked like a scarecrow Suddenly, the fear she felt inside her cru of bewilderment and despondency wash over her Why was she so afraid of that , there was no reason to tremble so much in front of this person She had the means to defend herself

‘Didn’t I block an attack by a Re than his cane’

In the midst of her state of liberation, she looked at her father The horrible monster inside her nificantly

Max slowly opened her mouth to speak “It doesn’t matter whether my father believes it or not I… am a wizard If my father puts my husband to trial… I will use all possible ainst it”

She felt Riftan’s intense gaze prick her cheeks His eyes were shi+ning dangerously, but he did not say a single word to question what she was on about: although he looked quite annoyed, he seemed to be deter in relief, she heard the shrill voice of the Duke of Croix

“This ungrateful thing…! Go ahead, let’s see how far you can go! You are spouting all these to cover up for the incident!”

“Are you serious hat you have said?” King Ruben, atching the situation with an interested face, sighed deeplym“Duke of Croix, if the World Tower intervenes, it usually won’t end with only you or reatly Are you aware that you are about to be accused of persecuting a wizard?”

“I didn’t even know that this child was a World Toizard! And so how could they say that I persecuted her?”

“It does not matter if you knew that fact or not What is ie on her”

Princess Agnes coldly refuted Sireed “That’s how it is The sequence of the situation is not so iate whether there has been abusive behavior or not”

The Duke of Croix’s face was now red and al Ruben’s face filled with triumph “What he said is true, Duke You kno troublesoht? If they turn their backs on you, most wizards will leave the duchy In the future, the World Toill no longer want to dispatch wizards for the Duke Are you saying that you are going to push through with the trial even if you will face all those penalties?”
