Chapter 71 Chapter 71
People began to discuss in low voices, asking who the guy who pointed the finger at Aldrette was.
"Brown Cumberland! A student in the alchemy class, he is the second son of Viscount Cumberland."
Someone pronounced the boy's name, and soon this unremarkable name spread throughout the auditorium.Everyone was astonished, and no one would have thought that an unknown young man would dare to identify Duke Aldret in public.
Brown Cumberland pursed his lips, and his eyes unconsciously shifted to Terrence's direction, and saw that the black-haired nobleman was also watching him, with a fearless smile on his face.The other party's unwavering expression shook Cumberland's will, his fingers trembled, and he turned his head quickly.
Elvia was watching him too—everyone was watching him, but Elvia's gaze was so piercing that it made Cumberland's spine go stiff, and he forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't help it. Thinking about what happened a few days ago.
He was of low status and should not have been involved with Elvia, so when the other party knocked on his door in the middle of the night, Cumberland was both surprised and terrified.After learning what Elvia asked him to do, he couldn't hide his panic.
"I can't... Sir, I, I can't do this! God, this kind of thing..."
"But you have no choice, Mr. Cumberland Jr. If you don't want your father to know what you've done."
"What? I do not get it--"
"No, you understand. For example, how you let your poor big brother grow weaker and weaker, and how you quietly removed the family property and used it to gamble... Aha, I admire your cleverness, your Stupidity gives me great pleasure, too."
"...How do you know this?"
"This has nothing to do with yourself. In fact, you see, now you have only two choices - either help me with this matter, or you can only face your father's wrath and a dark future .The first one, if you do it well, you can get anything you want. And the second one is just a dead end, right?"
Cumberland grabbed his hair and kept shaking his head: "No, this...why me? I can't do it, sir, and they won't believe me."
"Resent your mistake. You gave me the excuse, Brown Cumberland. I chose you, and you just have to do it."
——I chose you, and you have to do it.
Cumberland saw this sentence again in Elvia's eyes.He had no other way, and when he stood up, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk down.
The old headmaster frowned and looked at the queen who was on the side. The queen nodded with a fan, and then he asked: "Son, are you sure what you said just now? Do you think Terrence Aldrett was in the game Cheating, is that so?"
Cumberland took a deep breath: "Yes, Mr. Principal. There is a problem with the alchemy props he used."
"No, no, my child. According to regulations, the referees will pre-check all the items brought by the contestants. They will only be allowed to bring into the ring after confirming that the alchemy props are indeed made by the contestants themselves. What your accusation is questioning It's the teaching staff in the school."
"I don't know about this, but Mr. Lancer Schevenlieu of the swordsman class, we have all seen him get very close to the Duke of Aldret. Isn't this an open secret? Mr. Schevenlieu It's the knight of the Aldrett family. And everyone has seen it—" Cumberland pointed out the direction of the civilians in front of him, "Yesterday, the Duke of Aldrett finished the match with Mr. Angus, and it was Mr. Schevenlieu who led him I think it's hard to believe that when His Excellency the Duke is so close to an umpire, he wouldn't be in collusion with other umpires."
His words first caused repercussions among the common people, and some people were immediately incited by these words and booed at the noble district.
Lancer was sitting in the auditorium. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he couldn't help standing up, and Terrence also stood up from his seat.
He glanced at Lancer, motioned him to sit down first, and then said to Cumberland: "Hello, Mr. Cumberland. Please allow me to respond to what you said. Lancer Schevenlieu is indeed A knight who serves the Aldret family, but I will not restrict him to do what he wants to do. He came to the academy, just hoping to use his abilities in a more useful place. Maybe he is very helpful to me in normal times. Take care, this is just doing your own duty. If you have no evidence and only rely on guesswork to falsely accuse a person who is sincerely for cultivating outstanding students and for the empire, then I will have doubts about your character."
Terrence turned around and faced the people behind him: "About Mr. Cumberland's questioning of me just now, I think I have to put it aside first. Whether his accusation against me is true or not, I have no way of seeing An injustice has been done to an irrelevant person. Some of you know Mr. Chevinlieu, and some of you are his students. You should make your own judgments about his ordinary behavior, and judge whether he is a person who regards fairness and justice. justice to the disregarded."
"You're shifting the focus! Your Excellency the Duke, Lancer Schevenlieu is familiar with you, how can he be regarded as an irrelevant person?"
"If you don't have any evidence, then your claims are unbelievable! It's not me who shifts the focus, but you!" Terrence said sharply suddenly, which caused him to touch the wound on his chest, but Terrence He walked out of the seat maintaining his momentum.
"You accuse me because you think I cheated in the competition. Then I ask the school to call all the teachers who are judges, and we can ask them one by one. There are 22 competitions in total. You don't think that I am so powerful that so many people Use it for me? Then I should open my own school and do whatever I want, so that no righteous people like you will trouble me.”
Terrence shrugged, and his words drew good-natured laughter from some.
Cumberland blushed, he was almost thrown off his feet by Terrence.And the principal was speaking at this moment: "What the Duke of Aldret said is true. The Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts has always been determined to cultivate outstanding talents for the country. Since I became the principal, I have always believed in this. In this school, there used to be Countless high-ranking aristocrats have come to study here, and countless outstanding commoners have graduated from here. Injustice and contempt have never happened. They have been, are, and will be in the future. For our respective honors, I agree with the Duke of Aldret. Please, everyone present will be a witness to the truth."
"I...I have something to say." A small voice suddenly sounded.
The voice was so soft that people thought they had heard it wrong at first, until a teenager with messy hair stood up from the seat in the civilian area.
"Who is this?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, confused about the twists and turns of the situation.
"My name is Wayne, Your Excellency the Principal." The boy said wringing his fingers, his lips trembling, as if he was very nervous. "I believe the school is fair but, but I agree with Mr Cumberland."
Terrence glanced at the boy, and then turned his gaze to Brown Cumberland, who looked surprised and seemed unaware.This made Terrence raise his eyebrows secretly.Poor Cumberland, he probably didn't know as much as he did, and was just thrown out as a trailblazer.He opened up the situation, and that boy was the real trick.
But Xavier was kept in the dark. He turned his head to look at his friend and asked in a low voice, "Where did you find this guy?"
"There are always people who are willing to take risks for money," Elvega replied.
The headmaster rubbed his temples. He didn't expect that there would be so many troubles today, but he could only ask, "Why do you say that, kid."
"Your Excellency, the Duke of Eldrette may not have cheated during the competition, but... But I don't think this means that he has a clear conscience from the beginning to the end." Wayne clenched his hands, "You The speech just now gave me enlightenment, I, I must tell the truth. Your Excellency, I violated the agreement, but I really can't give up my hard work."
Terrence laughed. He shrugged and said, "Please. I also want to hear what the agreement is."
"Sorry, Your Excellency. In fact, everyone, some of the alchemy props used by Your Excellency the Duke during the competition were designed by me."
As soon as his words came out, there was an uproar.
Indeed, many people thought that the alchemy props used by Terrence in the competition did not come from existing books, but no one thought that those things were actually the works of others.
The commoner students had already held grudges because of Cumberland's words, but now they heard that Terrence had embezzled the creations of their compatriots, and their hearts were suddenly ignited.A big warrior even stood up on a chair and shouted at Terrence: "You know the bastard who oppressed us, you should be ashamed of yourself!"
Terrence did not speak, but the queen suddenly took the loudspeaker in the headmaster's hand and said, "Please pay attention to your words and deeds, gentlemen and ladies. Don't make yourself look impolite."
Because the queen has not made any statement, so that everyone is a little carried away, the big man realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He got off the bench embarrassingly, but still stuck his neck and said: "I, I I am just worried that justice will not be done, and grievances will not be justified."
He felt that he had become a warrior, and he drew courage from the eyes of others, and his back straightened even more.
Queen White Pearl frowned slightly: "Truth is truth, I will not favor anyone, regardless of class, regardless of blood. But, I want to know what is truth, Terrence—"
As she spoke, she turned her eyes to the black-haired boy standing alone in the aisle.The other party is like a reef in the wind and waves, whether he will stand upright or be submerged in the sea, the outcome seems to be still unknown.
"I swear, Your Majesty. The truth is the truth, and people are fearless because of their frankness." Terrence replied with a firm expression.
"Brown Cumberland! A student in the alchemy class, he is the second son of Viscount Cumberland."
Someone pronounced the boy's name, and soon this unremarkable name spread throughout the auditorium.Everyone was astonished, and no one would have thought that an unknown young man would dare to identify Duke Aldret in public.
