Chapter 18 (1/2)

Not only Accius, even Benjamin had his mouth wide opened in shock

With the unfolding of events, he did not require ence to comprehend the madame's intentions

The madame tripped dick on purpose because she wanted to save Benjamin

Just look at thein between the madame and dick Fulner It was not an easy feat for the cane to bypass Accius and hit dick If theof the cane was truly an artistic form of coincidence

The madame must have done that on purpose She deliberately tripped dick to let the chauilty as Benjamin, and if the Fulners wanted to punish Benjamin, they would also need to punish her Or else, they would be acting against the famed 'honour of the nobles'

These people would never hit the old lady with a chamber pot If she was hurt somehow by the chamber pot, it would escalate and alert the church They could not afford to joke around with this Even if Accius illing to take the risk with throwing the chamber pot at the madame, Claude would never in allow that to happen

Thus, the Fulners had no means to penalize the madame, and naturally they could not find any reason to incarcerate Benjamin too

All in all, the madame flaunted her seniority perfectly to rescue Benjamin

Benjaht about this

Fortunately, although his grandmother had a unique temper, she was more dependable than his worthless father Without her, he would have no idea on how to get himself out of this predicament Evidently, there were still people in this world that knew the is of a family Not all of them were turncoats

He was thankful, very thankful…

If Benjamin are of the truth, there was no doubt that the others could, too

Based on the chagrined faces of the Fulners ere headed by Accius, it was obvious that they would not let this doithout a fight

”Duke Claude, theWe wouldn't mind these words of the madame Certainly the Duke will kno to resolve this appropriately”

Accius's speech was aimed directly at the conservative Duke Claude He must have kno difficult it would be if he dealt with the nore her and talk to Benjamin's father

”Hmm…”

Claude's face was somber He did not respond with an immediate answer

Upon seeing this, his relieved heart felt tensed again

This fa They refused to compromise despite thethe familial relations within the Lithurs

Hopefully Benjaree with them…

”What's thewell and don't underestie and clumsiness I know clearly how to solve thiswithout a proper explanation”

While Claude hesitated, the old lady blinked and interrupted She held herself in a respectable hteousness

Although Claude was once again interrupted by the madame, he did not lose his cool Instead, he remained his silence, as if he did not plan to express any further opinions regarding this matter He seemed to allow the madame to do whatever she willed

Accius frowned

”Would you please stoparound, madame”

”Messing around?” As if the e news, she seemed shocked and made an innocent expression, ”Duke Accius, what do you mean? You were the one who came to our fa around? Now, Duke Accius, be reasonable”

Accius retorted in annoyance, ”We were not the ones erearound!”

He realised his inappropriate manners after that He took a deep breath, controlled his emotions and, then displayed his smoothness as a noble He continued

”Madame, my child was huuest in your ation to seek justice for hi a mistake so he would not repeat the same mistake in the future Never mind that you were not appreciative of our actions, instead you're falsifying the facts Mada unreasonable here?”

”Oh, is that true?” She looked bewildered noith a hint of confusion colouring her cheeks It was as if she heard this stateht it was us who invited dick over as a guest out of goodwill, but unfortunately his sleepwalking habits recurred in the dead of the night, which caused hi like hoould kick a ball? He injured himself and dirtied the hallway because of that As it was an unintentional mistake, we did not take it up to you How could you behave so irrationally still?”

Wham!

Once she said this, Accius slammed his palm on the table and jumped up, furious

”You…”

His eyes were as wide opened as he pointed at the old lady, but he did not speak a word The flesh on his face twitched, and his expression was very ht, when the latter was hit by the chaht and became speechless

Everyone was exchanging looks, and the atmosphere was strained Even Claude looked wary as if he wanted to say so, but the less glance, but Claude retreated once again, with no intention to speak anymore

She turned to the crowd, standing in the liht However, her face was still one of naivete, as if what she said was just common everyday conversations

Benjaaped wider

Apparently, his grandher status in the Lithur faht of it

Also… His conservative, ancient father He was actually a mama's boy?

”Your grandfather passed away early in his age, and she was the one who raised your father The early Lithur fa to the rumors you knew previously, she has a special status within the kingdom, but you have no idea exactly what it is”

The System reappeared and explained, just like it was in an anime

”You didn't rumbled secretly
