After hearing these words, everyone was shocked again.

When Haines heard this, everyone's face turned pale. When Impes heard this change, everyone's eyes widened.

The Haines people discussed it a lot. They probably said something like this:

No way! No one except Atole can enter the mobilization room——

unless...

Unless there is a traitor in the Duke of Haines’s mansion!

The Crown Prince quickly made the decision:

"Whether it's true or not, let him in right away."

Haynes and others didn't believe it at first. All they said was something like "Impert has found someone else to act as a witness."

But when that man came in, the Haines couldn't laugh anymore.

When Ivan saw the man, he repeated the witness' name:

“Louis…!”

Of course, the voice was too soft, and Louis William, who had been Sheen's loyal butler and came in with the palace guards, certainly didn't hear it.

What surprised Ivan (Sheen) was that Louis had aged a lot in just seven years.

Scott said calmly beside Ivan:

"Alas. I've seen this guy before... He's old and has been overworked at Haines for a long time. I heard he resigned not long ago."

Overloaded with work!

Ivan glared at the surprised Bonnie with a vicious look——

It seems that Bonnie was entangled by Xi Lun again after Sheen left. Since Louis was Sheen's housekeeper before, naturally she ordered Louis to do this and that!

Ivan was indignant and said:

I really want to tear Ivan's skin off on the spot and slap this ungrateful woman twice!

Due to Ivan's identity, he could only ask Scott for information:

"Has he been tortured?"

"Yes."

Scott was helpless.

"However, at my suggestion, he completed the retirement procedures a few days ago. But he seemed to say something like, 'It's a pity that my health can't keep up and I can't fulfill my promise.'"

Ivan (Sheen) certainly knew what the agreement was:

"...Jimmy and I will stay here and wait for the young master to come back..."

but...

Ivan certainly noticed that Louis was holding a brown paper-wrapped document bag.

And looking at Louis's determined expression, it was as if he was going to fight a battle, his attitude was very firm.

After Louis handed the evidence to the palace guards, he saluted the Crown Prince:

“Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Louis William. I am both the butler who once served Master Sheen and Viscount William.

"Thanks to my status as a viscount, I was able to safely escape from the oppression of the impostors..."

"Who are you calling a fake?!" Bonnie pointed at Louis and yelled.

"You Haines traitor—"

"Shut up, you stubborn woman. No wonder you're still single at 23. Who would want you with your temper?"

Louis was not to be outdone and had a falling out with Bonnie on the spot.

"If Master Xien hadn't placed me under your name before he left, I wouldn't want to be bullied by you all the time. It's time for your unruly body to be punished.

"What you did behind my back was really disgusting. If it weren't for my status as a viscount, I would still be alive in your hands.

"What about the others? All those civilians were tortured to death by your temper!

"If they are not incapable of escaping, then whoever wants to stay in Haines will do so!"

Louis's words directly exposed Bonnie's shortcomings to the onlookers.

Ivan (Sheen) thought:

"It's immoral to humiliate others in public, but Louis, you're really handsome~"

Louis' accusation is not only directed at Bonnie, but also at other people who are watching:

"And there are you too. If it weren't for the fact that you are Master Xien's blood relatives, we servants would have drowned you with our spit. Are you aware of the bad things you have done in private? If you don't know, I can tell you.

"Anyway, I'm retired, and I'm a viscount, so everything I say can be traced!"

The crown prince felt that he should show some mercy here, so he symbolically stopped him:

"Hey, that's enough, Mr. William. You are here to testify, not to curse."

Why is it symbolic? Because...

"I'll give you a few more words, and then I'll begin your testimony."

It can be seen that the Crown Prince is the one who is most interested in eating melons.

"Okay," Louis pouted.

"Anyway, I'm not the only one who thinks that without Master Sheen, Haines is just a group of thugs in aristocratic guise. Only Master Sheen is worthy of the surname 'Haines'!

“They all look respectable, but what they do in private is dirtier than anyone else!

"Okay, Your Highness, I'm done scolding you. Thank you for giving me this time."

"You're welcome."

The crown prince waved his hands helplessly (actually he still wanted to listen).

Of course arbitration is important. The Crown Prince pointed to the documents held by his men and asked Louis:

"So, this is the record of Atole Haines dispatching Haines's army to hunt down the Duke of Impers, right?"

"Yes,"

Louis nodded slightly, and then told him even more explosive news.

"And I am only responsible for transporting these documents out. Without the cooperation of people in the Duke's Mansion, I alone cannot deliver them."

"What? You're not the only traitor—!"

Duke Haines was interrupted by Duke Impess before he could finish his words.

"...Shut up! You sound like a mentally ill patient who is scolding people even when a knife is placed over his head." The Duke of Impes mocked directly.

"I said, I'm not the only one who thinks Haines without Master Sheen is soulless. You guys should have been punished long ago,"

Louis rolled his eyes at Atole and continued to explain to the Crown Prince.

"My colleagues have worked very hard to retrieve this document, and we haven't even read the contents of it."

"Yes, it is. The seals are intact."

The Crown Prince said calmly, then took the opening knife handed to him by his men.

"But since it's an arbitration, the royal family certainly has the power to check on them."

After saying this, before Haines could respond, the Crown Prince took out all the contents and looked at them.

He fell silent and blurted out:

"What?! There are 16 munitions deployed in such a small area (and that's not all) - Duke Impes, you're really hard to kill."

The Duke of Impes scratched his head helplessly:

"Perhaps the greatest function of the oracle is to have a tough life? To be honest, I have forgotten how many chases I went through."

Joseph on the side was mumbling something - I think it happened more than twenty times...

The Crown Prince held the files in both hands (he couldn't even hold them with both hands...) and kept flipping through them. He couldn't help but complain:

"Alas! With this evidence in hand, what else can I say? I can take this and ask my father to find out how many private soldiers are hidden in Haines's family."

Then, he looked coldly at the trembling Duke of Haines.

"Atole Haines, Impes has all the evidence. What else do you have to say?!

"Putting this case aside for now, you have so many private soldiers in your possession, are you planning to rebel?!"
