Chapter 575 - Five Hundred And Seventy-five: Search His Cellphone (1/2)

The third point of view:

If there had been awkward silence previously, now was a shocking one. Except for the sound of their breathing, the great hall was so quiet that a pin dropped would reverberate greatly across the room.

”What did you just say?” The queen was the first to recover from the impact, already at the edge of her seat. She wanted the truth.

”Lord Albert is planning a treason!” Ailee supported her brother. They were in this together.

There was a great uproar in the hall as everyone - the other lords and guests - began to deliberate the accusation. It was simply unbelievable.

”Oh my God,” Reina pinched the space between her brows. She was regretting it, taking the kids to Lincolnshire was a huge mistake. Reina had always felt this would happen, she just never wanted to acknowledge the feelings.

”We have to stop the kids now,” Niklaus' jaw was clenched. He knew how worried Reina was right now and it wasn't good for the babies. He had specially warned the kids not to upset their mother and yet, they did it.

”No, leave them,” Emerald stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

”What?” Niklaus eyed him.

”They've already begun, it's not worth stopping them now. Moreover, who knows, they might be speaking the truth,”

And thanks to that comment from Emerald, the others who had wanted to stop them as well, took a step back. They just silently hoped the kids were right and that this wasn't one of their many pranks. Else, they were doomed.

”Do you fully grasp the gravity of your allegation? You accuse one of my lords of treason and that is a capital offense punishable by death?”

”Yes, we know that and are confident that we are right,” stated Allen, eliciting another uproar from the crowd.

”Your highness!” Lord Albert spoke up, ”You don't possibly believe a bunch of kids who just stole my cellphone -”.

”His cellphone is the evidence!” Neon announced.

Another gasp from the crowd.

”This is getting bad,” Reina turned to her husband, ”I'm not comfortable with this anymore. We should stop the kids before they add more fuel to the burning flame,”

Niklaus nodded and at once, stood up, saying, ”Forgive my kids, your highness, the queen. They must have lost their mind. If you can please -”

”Let them speak,” The queen was adamant, ”They claim they have evidence, I would love to see it,”

Niklaus couldn't say anything more and stood helplessly. God save his children.

Neon took that as a cue to continue, ”The first day we arrived, I bumped into lord Albert in the hallway. His phone dropped and I helped him pick it, that was when I saw the message. Although I couldn't see the person he chatted with, they definitely discussed treason,”

There were murmurs within the crowd, everyone pointing out their view on the matter.

”Your highness! Don't tell me you believe a mere kid's words over your loyal servant?” Lord Albert argued.

”Did you or did you not bump into the kid on the said day?” The queen questioned him sternly. The matter of treason was not to be treated trivial - they learned a hard lesson from the invaders.
