After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

...

A few days later. Duke's Palace. Hall, trial.

In addition to Leon, the Duke paid money to find other servants to provide more "favorable" evidence.

A maid from Viscount Roman's house pushed the door open and came in. She bowed to everyone and swore to the Duke:

"My Lord, I saw it all...

"The Third Young Master Roman took out a box of tea from the unsealed box and poured some transparent liquid into it...

"I thought it was an additive used to flavor tea, but it turned out to be Sweeney Poison. It's really horrible."

The Duke stood on the judgment platform on the second floor and asked the maid condescendingly:

"What color is the bottle that contains the potion?"

The maid replied tremblingly: "I can't see clearly, but at least it's not transparent."

Sweeney's poison will decompose when exposed to light, but it will not lose its effectiveness as long as it is kept in a non-transparent container.

Viscount Roman and his three sons stood in the center of the crowd, their faces pale with fear.

thump!

The Viscount knelt on the ground in fear, his eyes wide open, and he clasped his hands together and begged the Duke for mercy:

“Your Excellency the Duke…it really wasn’t us who did this. I have worked for Haynes for many years and haven’t even had the chance to repay Haynes for his kindness. How could I have done something like poisoning a technician?!

"What's more, Ivan is the chief of the Magic Tower. I will never provoke the Magic Tower..."

The Duke shouted to the Viscount:

"Shut up, I hate your slick face!

“Viscount Roman, you and I have been working together for many years, but I never thought that you would team up with your sons to do such a vicious thing!

"You guys disappoint me so much!"

A week later.

The news that "Duke Haines found out the truth and the Haines family is innocent" spread throughout the empire.

I heard that the Duke personally investigated and tried the Roman family. Not only did he find evidence of the poisoning, he also uncovered the Roman family's crimes of corruption and illegal sale of banned drugs.

With all the evidence, the Duke convicted the Roman family of the following crimes:

Viscount Roman was sentenced to death, and the method of death was cruel - a red-hot brand was used to pierce his eyes, and after he struggled for a few times, he was put on the gallows and ended his life.

The eldest son, Charles, assisted the Duke in forging the contract, and the Duke stripped him of his title, degrading him to a commoner, because he had nothing to do with the incident.

The second son, Colin, was left with a lifelong disability. Since Colin was not directly involved in the poisoning process, the Duke removed Colin from his position as deputy head and sent him away.

The third son Billy was the instigator of the poisoning. The Duke sentenced him to life imprisonment and detained him in the Viscount's mansion under guard.

The rest of the Roman family members were punished.

From then on, the Duke's reputation suddenly improved.

Now people are talking about this:

"Oh my God, isn't it just poisoning a civilian? Is it necessary to punish Viscount Roman's entire family?"

"Hey. You can't say that. You have to know that Master Ivan is a talent that the Demon Tower Master has cultivated with great difficulty. He is also Miss Eve's only relative.

"If the Duke doesn't make some decisions, he will definitely be targeted by the Chief."

"But is this the only punishment? If Master Ivan really dies, how can a Viscount alone repay the Magic Tower's efforts?"

"It seems so... When the Demon Tower Master learned that Master Esther had been treated like this, his heart must have been bleeding when he was rescuing him, right?"

"If the Roman family doesn't receive the punishment they deserve, the Demon Tower will definitely come to the Duke's Mansion to put pressure on them."

"And they're trying to put the blame on the Duke. This is the worst decision they've ever made."

"But the Duke actually found out that the Roman family was illegally selling banned drugs—"

"Oh my God, if this hadn't happened, how many more people would have to suffer..."

...

Thanks to the clone given by the white devil card, after confirming that the reader's soul is all in the clone and there is no danger to life.

The system smiled awkwardly - the host had used the same method once seven years ago. It knew that the host could not die.

During the days when the Duke was conducting trials and executions, the reader used Eve's identity to put pressure on the outside world and facilitated the execution of the Roman family.

After the Viscount's family was executed, the matter was left unresolved, and no one knew that the poison in the box of tea was actually made by Ivan himself. Instead, many people were concerned about whether Ivan had been rescued.

It's really polarized.

...

It has been a long time since Ivan was poisoned.

Except for announcing that "Ivan was rescued" when Ivan woke up, the Lord of the Demon Tower never said anything about Ivan's follow-up.

This makes those who love to listen to gossip feel itchy.

Unfortunately, after this incident, Romos seemed to have strengthened the guarding of the magic tower even more: not to mention the nobles, even reporters who wanted to write newspapers could not enter.

So in the next day's newspaper, the reporter could only write:

"Ivan is out of danger but is unwilling to be interviewed."

......

Magic Tower.

Aida's private residence.

The outside world was in an uproar, but Ada remained calm.

Ada, who doesn't like reading newspapers, flipped through today's newspaper for the first time:

At least six newspapers were delivered today, and all of them described the information about Haines' trial of the Roman family.

He even exposed the Roman family's crimes in the newspaper...

Ada looked carefully at the contents of the newspapers and found them increasingly strange.

She suddenly noticed the word "witnesses" and the portraits of the witnesses - the witnesses were described by Haines as "heroes who dared to stand up" and in order to protect their safety, Haines had secretly sent them out of the capital.

Although the witness' portrait was mosaiced, Ada noticed Leon's hair color in the portrait.

"tan..."

Ada suddenly imagined the "Introduction to the Nobles of the Portia Empire" that she received from the royal family after becoming a viscount.

Yes, after becoming a noble, Ada needs to remember the names of various families and the characteristics of their members.

And the tan hair...

Ada closed her eyes and thought, and suddenly she thought of a family that suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago:

The House of Laurent.

(Memories)

Ada was invited to attend the ladies' afternoon tea salon when she was 16 years old and had just obtained the status of Viscount.

"I suddenly want to ask a question..."

Ada tried to find out the reason for the demise of this family.

The ladies who had heard some gossip answered this question enthusiastically:

"You mean that family? They deserve it. They actually offended the Roman family, who was highly regarded by Haynes..."

"The Laurent family and the Roman family are both vassals of Haines.

But they had conflicts while running the business. Soon, news came out that the Laurent family had died in a fire.

The noble ladies cleared their throats:

"Although it was a natural disaster that caused the death of all members of the Laurende family, everyone knows that for the sake of profit, how many crimes can a person commit to destroy an entire family?"

Ada got a lot of information and finally summarized it:

“Count Laurent and Viscount Roman are mortal business rivals.

Count Laurent was hardworking and conscientious, but Viscount Roman had evil ideas and killed Laurent's family by setting fire.

They even robbed the Laurend family of their hard work and erased 'Laurd' from the list of nobles."
