“Your highness, I……” Duke Roman started to say
Cliff’s ice cold gaze flashed over He said angrily, “Sir Roht with my disciple, but wanted Claire’s life! This is attempted murder, murder? Do you, sir, knohat that word means?”Cliff’s expression was extremely serious The word ‘sir’ was completely sarcastic Would an esteemed Duke not understand what murder meant?
Alice Roman’s expression instantly turned pale Of course she understood what those murder meant Once this accusation beca to happen to her next
Duke Gordan was silent the whole ti dislike publicly was not wise, and that didn’t mean the Hill clan was some kind of pushover He had already turned a blind eye the duel from last time and this time was actually an attempt to take Claire’s life But it looked like there was no need for him to speak Cliff, that ultra-defensive person, would force the emperor to deal with it properly
The ery faced Cliff and the others ere cold faced, slightly sighing in his heart This Alice could have offended anybody, but she had to try and ht as proof, if it wasn’t dealt with fairly, not only would he not be able to justify for Duke Hill, he wouldn’t be able to justify it to the Teht and Cliff
“After Alice Roed” The e at Duke Roman’s expression
Duke Gordan’s expression didn’t change and the other’s were also calm Alice’s eyes widened, then slowly closed It wasn’t anybody’s fault but herself for not listening to Grandfather, and instead provoking someone she couldn’t afford to provoke Now even death wouldn’t be enough She just hoped that no other family members would be implicated
Duke Roman’s cohness, please pardon her I would rather resign hness” Alice, who had been sitting at the back, instantly looked up, shocked and also torn seeing Duke Ro for her
The e at the old er passed through his eyes He actually resigned for this situation!
“Good! Very good! You dare to threaten rily at the oldbefore him
“Your servant, doesn’t dare Your servant is only hurried to defend the victiive any indication that he was going to rise Alice’s eyes flashed with remorse and pain She wanted to dash up there, but was pulled back by her cousin
“Very good Since it’s like this, I’ll help you Starting from today, you aren’t the minister of finance any more You’re also not a duke any more, but a baron Alice will not have any titles for her entire life All Roman officials will drop three ranks!” The eered now It was the first time that a minister dared to threaten him
Duke Gordan squinted without a word He had worked for the government for so many years, so naturally, he understood the ee the emperor’s authority Did Duke Roman really not know?
“Your servant accepts your order Many thanks, your highness, for sparing Alice” Duke Roed ten years in an instant
The elanced at Duke Gordan and said, “Duke Hill, do you have any objections?”
“None, your servant has no objections” Duke Gordan said quietly with a lowered head
The elanced at the Duke Roman, who had his head lowered “Hu, without a care that others were still there Of course, under this circumstance, nobody took offense at the emperor’s attitude
Naturally, Duke Gordan’s mood soared Now there was a vacancy for the et someone he trusted to that position
Claire watched Alice rush forward and support Duke Ro Suddenly, in an instant, she felt a envious of Alice She had such a grandfather ould protect her at any cost It was truly praiseworthy that such a situation actually existed in this competitive world
And so, Alice and her cousin supported Duke Roman as they left slowly The moment she stepped out the entrance, Alice turned and looked intensely at Claire
Claire understood the gaze
Deep hatred, hatred that seeped into the bones!
It was an irreconcilable hatred!
And so, the matter was dealt with
While Duke Gordan was extremely happy on the inside, he maintained an unsatisfied expression
“Divine prince, fortunately, you saved Claire today I thank you with the all my heart Sir Cliff, you stepped forward bravely for Claire today, I thank you with utmost respect Sir Lawrence, Divine princess, many thanks for your defence today If you all don’t mind, may I invite everybody to dinner to express my thanks?” Duke Gordan said, exceptionally cordial Naturally, he was planning so the chance to establish good relations with these influential people, especially the people of the Teht The relationshi+p between royal authority and divine right had always been very subtle Maintaining a good relationshi+p with them on the outside only had benefits
“It’s nothing, there’s no need for his grace to yun disliked for quietly
