Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

what?

Faced with such a series of accusations, Wei Lan said...

How come these people are idle all day long and harm him everywhere?

When the woman finished her words in a mournful tone, there was an uproar in the audience.

"What?! Did I hear it right?"

"The princess is so vicious!!"

"So is it true that the princess abused her servants and killed civilians?!"

"Let's not talk nonsense for now. The king has announced those things to the whole city..."

"Bang—" The king stomped the scepter in his hand and said sternly:

"Hmph - drag this lying civilian away!"

"I didn't...! I didn't lie... woo..." The woman hurriedly said:

"I swear to God!"

Queen Dailian showed some sympathy and said to the king,

"Your Majesty, let's listen to what she has to say. I believe Stephen would never do such a thing.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding, it is better to let her explain it clearly, so that people below will not make random guesses..."

What she said made sense, and the king looked at the nobles' comments and could only nod.

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, but then her face turned sad:

"That day, I had just returned from the textile factory when I heard the news that my eldest daughter Anya had been executed by Her Royal Highness the Princess. I went to the execution ground crying. I knew that my daughter was definitely not that kind of person...

Some people also said that Her Royal Highness the Princess threatened to kill our entire family!"

She paused at this point.

Wei Lan knew what she was going to say next. It was clearly Anya who was yelling and begging him not to kill her family that day.

He had almost forgotten about this matter, and didn't expect it could be used.

The woman was crying, her eyes were full of tears, and she felt like she was about to cry herself to death, but she spoke very fluently:

"I was always in a state of panic, and after that day, I didn't dare go to the textile factory.

Just two days ago, I heard the news, and I thought the princess was not a vicious person... In order to take care of my two children, I decided to go to work in the textile factory. Who knew that when I returned home that night, my children had already died at home! Woo woo woo...!"

Just as Wei Lan was about to speak, the king suddenly banged his scepter.

"How ridiculous! You concluded that my daughter is the murderer based on just one sentence?!"

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment. It was over. According to the plot, the woman would produce some evidence in the next second.

really.

The woman knelt on the ground, crying out of breath, and took out something from her bosom. She held it up with shaking hands.

"When I went back that day, people around me told me that three people broke into my house, and then I heard a child screaming.

After they left, I don’t know who dropped this string of things from. ”

It was a heart-shaped purple jade pendant, worn on the wrist, very delicate. Only nobles and royals could afford such gems and carvings.

When Wei Lan saw it, he was dumbfounded. Wasn't this the string that his father had thrown away when he was imprisoned? He didn't care at all at the time.

The woman continued:

"Besides! I also heard that two servants, a man and a woman, disappeared from the princess' palace! I'm afraid they did it!"

"Wait——" Wei Lan raised his hand.

"Let's put everything else aside. The two servants just asked for leave. It's recorded in the manual of my palace steward. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to check it right away."

Damn it, he actually tried to harm the male and female protagonists, is he trying to kill himself?

When the woman heard this, she hesitated to speak, as if she was very afraid of the princess.

At this time, Queen Dailian waved her feather fan and comforted softly:

"Don't be afraid, just tell me everything."

"Yes." The woman looked at the queen gratefully.

"Then, may I ask Your Highness, are the two servants still here? My eldest daughter used to be a palace maid, and ordinary maids are only allowed to take half a day off at most."

She said, glancing at Wei Lan's expression.

"After a day and a morning... I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

what? !

Wei Lan thought to herself, what does she mean by this? Is she trying to accuse me of murder to silence someone?

In the original book, the hero and heroine did not return because they were still in love.

But in the original book, there was no such thing as him being framed, because when the male and female protagonists came back tomorrow, the princess in the original book was still fine.

So, he said that, wouldn't it be...

He thought of a terrible thing. Last night he went to Harstad, but did not find the heroine. He thought it was just the difference between reality and the book.

Thinking about it this way, the heroine won't be killed, right? !

"Stephen, tell me something," King William stared at Wei Lan and said,

"Go and invite the butler from the princess's palace over first."

Wei Lan was still thinking about this terrible thing and didn't react to the surrounding environment at all.

If the heroine really died, then his mission would not be completed, and failure to complete it would mean that he would have to stay here forever or die.

He tapped the system in his mind.

The system did not respond except for a few hissing sounds.

Wei Lan took a deep breath and became even more panicked.

At this time, the housekeeper, Kenna, came and explained that both of them had asked for leave since early yesterday morning and there had been no news since then.

"Stephen!" cried King William angrily,

"how do you say!"

Wei Lan was so frightened by the sound that he trembled all over. He was still thinking about those things. If the heroine really died, he would stay here forever.

Without any protection, he would definitely be killed by this group of people.

His heart began to panic, his wound was still throbbing with pain, his mind went blank in an instant, and he could only think: Is the heroine really dead? Can he never go back?

However, the system did not give him any response.

"Wait a minute," Wei Lan couldn't calm down. He was upset at the moment and murmured in a low voice:

"Hathaway, Hathaway can't die, how could she die..."

It would be better for him to go too since his father is dead.

"Your Majesty... wuwu... you must give me an explanation!" the woman cried.

“Although I am a lowly commoner...I am also a human being! My children are also two living beings!

Oh my God, is this the world you were looking forward to seeing... woooooo..."

At this moment, the only sounds around him were his crying and the discussions of the nobles.

At this moment, Queen Dailian wanted to exaggerate a little. He whispered in surprise:

"Oh my God, is this what happened last night? How could this be, that...that is actually true!"

King William was at a loss after all that had happened. When he heard the queen's riddle, he asked:

"what?"

"this..."

Queen Dailian glanced around, frowned, and hesitated for a moment, as if she had been thinking about it for a long time but did not dare to say it.

"Speak!" King William said angrily.

"Oh yes..." Queen Dailian bowed gracefully, her eyebrows lowered, and her face looked like she was being forced to speak out:

"Last night, someone saw Stephen rushing back in the middle of the night, still wearing servant's clothes..."

She paused for a second.

"And... the soldier guarding the gate last night can prove it, Your Highness."

King William slightly opened his lips and took a deep breath, looking angry. He stomped his scepter.

"Bring those two soldiers up to me!"

Wei Lan had calmed down a little at this moment, but his dizzy head could easily distract him.

Comfort yourself, the heroine shouldn't die so easily, the heroine shouldn't die so easily, the heroine shouldn't die so easily...

I repeated it three times in my mind.

Then he quietly reached out and grabbed his side abdomen. The pain made him sweat all over, but it also made him more awake.

Damn it.
