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

Then, Scott raised his right hand slightly to signal Ivan beside him: "This is Mr. Ivan Esther, he just defended my alibi."

"Um..."

James glanced at Ivan and continued,

"You two take a break. I'll take care of the rest."

"Yes."

When Scott relaxed, he quickly hit Ivan with his elbow.

When Ivan sat down, he still noticed the look James was giving him:

"Why is it like a father-in-law's attitude towards his son-in-law (ignoring him the whole time)...?"

Then, James quickly took the plaintiff's seat, and Nora almost collapsed in James' arms.

"James..." Nora took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

"I am so tired."

James knew very well: Atole's action of touching Nora's face was very similar to the ugly expression on Atole's face when he expressed his intention to force Nora to be his concubine.

James supported Nora and whispered:

"I won't let him go. Leave it to me."

"it is good."

Nora obediently left the plaintiff's seat and sat in the empty seat next to Ivan to rest.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Impes,"

As Ivan spoke, he put the cloak that James had put down on Nora.

"It's cold, so you better put it on."

"Thank you." Nora nodded slightly.

"This kid is quite good at reading people's expressions."

The trace of tenderness in the Duke of Impes's eyes completely disappeared after Nora sat down safely.

Then, those dark green eyes were filled with coldness - like an avenger holding a bloody knife and killing the entire family of his enemy.

The crown prince sitting on the stage said that the whole case had nothing to do with him and he was just forced to get involved. However, he was still quite scared to experience the "instant change of face" of the northern overlord in person.

The crown prince adjusted his breathing and tried not to be nervous:

"It seems that Mr. James has been appointed as the plaintiff. Duke of Impers, are you going to use the privilege of 'resetting the trial'?"

Duke Impes turned to Duke Haines and sneered:

"Of course. Please reset the third plaintiff's complaint. I will change the complaint..."

"no!"

Duke Haines slammed the table.

“Duke Impes, you are actually accusing a lowly commoner who has nothing to do with you, and that man is Nora’s former husband!

"You are young, so it's fine for you to accept a divorced woman, but you spoil her too much, even willing to travel thousands of miles to defend her ex-husband. You also insist on digging deeper into Baroque's affairs - the Duke's privileges cannot be toyed with like this..."

The Duke of Impes put his hands in his pockets and just said some place names:

"In the northwest of the Lekalon Forest, on the border with the Pavedun River, on a cliff ten minutes' drive from Kenigas, there are some golden thorns and black cacti planted there."

When Duke Haines heard about these landmarks, he suddenly fell silent.

"Hey, what's up? Where's that arrogance from just now?"

Duke Impes narrowed his eyes slightly, then said calmly,

"You should be impressed by this place, right? Because that's where you killed Baroque White.

"You even chased Baroque from the small town of Kashilin to such a remote place to ensure his death. You even calculated where Baroque would have the highest mortality rate...

"You can't do this feat now, right?"

Duke Haines gritted his teeth, and his deep blue eyes tried to find some poor acting skills in Duke Impess.

He lowered his voice and said:

"I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business! There's no need to waste your time on lowly people."

"Haha, you are playing dumb,"

Duke Impes opened his eyes and stared at Duke Haines.

"Don't you believe that the head of the enemy family standing opposite you now, the Duke of Impers, is the son-in-law of Viscount Lange, the Baroque White whom you have always called a poor boy?

"I can understand why nobles would send a commoner to take the blame for their own benefit, because everyone is afraid of death.

"But if Baroque is not only alive, but also stands as the plaintiff as the Duke of Impess, then you can't justify your crime!"

"Do you believe it now?"

The dark green eyes of the Duke of Impess seemed to swallow up the Duke of Haines.

He sneered.

"“The poor boy Baroque White is now the Duke of Impers, the Imperial Blade. He is finally standing here with dignity! He personally identified the person who killed him as Atole Haines!"

Ivan and Scott, who were sitting in the plaintiff's seat and "eating melons", were stunned.

“Oh my god, this is so scary…!”

Lisa stood up suddenly and shouted to James:

"That's impossible! Baroque and Nora are in a relationship between an older sister and a younger brother. I remember the age difference between them..."

James' eyes were filled with: You calculate it yourself, you calculate it yourself~

Lisa was annoyed: "Ah! Nora is 44, James is 42..."

(It is indeed a sister-brother relationship, that’s right)

"What--?"

Duke Haines was struck by a blow,

"This is unscientific. Do you want to take the blame for Baroque and support Nora..."

"Don't fool yourself, Duke Haines,"

The Crown Prince couldn't listen any longer, so he waved his hand towards Duke Haines. Then he put his left hand on his chin and explained nonchalantly,

"Mrs. Impes has never cheated on her husband, as can be seen from her marriage record registered with the royal family.

"To avoid suspicion, I did some research during the intermission just now and found that she only had one marriage registration record. In other words, the lady's spouse has always been Mr. Impes.

"It's just that the marriage structure has changed from 'James marries Viscount Lange' to 'Nora marries the Duke of Imperth'. But in reality, the two parties in the marriage have not changed."

People all heard the hidden meaning - the person Atole killed was James.

The vicious incident of "Duke killing Duke"!

The crowd's excitement continued to grow.

Then, the Crown Prince straightened up and continued:

"oops!

"I thought it was outrageous that an heir killed an heir, but I didn't expect the final case to turn into a duke killing a duke. This makes me very stressed!"

Ivan's heart:

"I heard it. The person who will be judged is Liu Luxiu. He must be crying and looking for you."

Then Ivan glared at the Crown Prince, and Everett fell silent.

「(Inner thoughts) “Be serious!”

“Yes...Yes..."

After the crown prince finished joking, he said coldly:

"If Duke Haines is convicted, the punishment would be severe enough to trigger collective punishment proceedings.

"So those who are still eating melons, please stop eating!"

After hearing the words "collective responsibility procedure", the other members of the Haines family fell silent.

They all looked at the person standing in the dock with solemn eyes.

...

Seeing Duke Haines still looking unconvinced, Scott thought for a moment:

“I have to move forward.”

He stood up slowly and suggested to the Crown Prince:

"Your Highness. It is possible that my father took someone else's identity. But if Baroque wanted to avoid Duke Haines' pursuit team, he would need to show proof of identity, right?"

"This is the rule that has always been used in the empire." The Crown Prince nodded.

"The royal family should keep the records of Baroque White's clearance, right?"

Scott continued to guide,

"If my father can draw the route he took to escape under the false identity of 'Baroque White', doesn't it prove that the person being hunted by Duke Haines was my father?"
