Chapter 90.

GRUNTING – The wheelchair with wheels was dragged along, causing a commotion in the quiet arena.

A short man lay on it, and Karin haughtily dragged him along. Mrs. Dorthea followed her condescendingly.

Glaring at me with burning eyes, malice filled the countless mocking eyes.

Who the hell is the wicked girl ……

I’m getting aggravated with this damn interlude. Saying something about the most obtrusive evil girl in the game, now the ones who framed the innocent male female, aren’t those evil spirits!

“Hey, hey! It’s the goddess! Goddess!”

But this aggravation was soon broken by the man bouncing in the wheelchair.

“Goddess, hey, hey, goddess!”

The man drools, struggles, and reaches out to me.

“Hey, stand still!”

“Ouch, Jesus!”

Ms. Kaylin had a death grip on her fiancé. Mrs. Dorthea took a step back in fear.

Finally, the squire calmed down after binding Baron Toulet’s mouth and hands with a cloth.

“Ahem, Miss Kailin, please prove it.”

The Minister of Justice coughed dryly to calm the chaos.

“At the tea party, the Duchess aimed her stone bow at us, and she said that when she was hit, she would become an idiot.”

Kailin glared at me as if she was waiting and opened her mouth.

“At that time, there were several family wives and children together, including the organizer, Lady Dorthea, right, ma’am.”

“Yes. That’s what I heard. ……”

Mrs. Dorthea looked at my face and answered timidly. As soon as she accidentally locked eyes with me, she began to tremble and closed her mouth. I smiled innocently at the sight of her. Fortunately, my threat seemed to work.

It was a positive reaction. After Kailin’s defense was over, the Minister of Justice went straight to me.

“Duchess Eckhardt, any objections to Miss Kailin’s statement?”

“No.”

I answered briefly. Soon after, sneering voices suddenly appeared from Marquis Ellen’s camp.

“Heh ……”

“Tsk, it’s following on from last year ……”

“Say, say. How exactly does His Excellency the Duke educate his children ……”

An atmosphere unfavorable to me was instantly formed.

“Inquisitor!”

At that moment, Derrick rose from his seat once again. He defended me in an eager tone.

“As a matter of fact, my only sister has been lying in the hospital bed for a long time.”

I cringed at the guy’s words. I was in good hands, such an excuse was unpleasant.

“Besides, it was hard to come back. The matter is over now. Surely, she has the ability to correctly recognize what is currently happening ……”

“I’m sober.”

I couldn’t listen any longer. I abruptly interrupted Derrick and stepped forward.

“After the testimony is all over, I’d like to make my own statement.”

“Penelope ……!”

Derrick called out to me harshly, but I easily ignored him and looked at the judge.

The attorney general nodded, “Public Lady, please begin your statement.”

“First of all, with the exception of Ms. Kaylin’s testimony, from beginning to end, it’s very different from what I experienced.”

“No, that kind of ……!”

“Please behave yourself, Viscount Gavoy!”

My words made Viscount Gavoy like a retort. But I quickly caught the attention of the Minister of Justice and easily got a head start on speaking.

“Furthermore, the circumstances corroborated by Miss Kailin are just small jokes and pranks that happened at the tea party ……”

I looked around and shrugged, looking as odious as possible.

“It’s a shame to be sold like that.”

“What tirade!”

Ms. Kellin screamed as she looked at me.

“You really are going too far, male daughter! How is taking a stone bow at someone a little joke?”

“Wasn’t the person who first asked to be allowed to try out the stone bow a young lady? Could it be a joke? Lady Dorthea will prove it to me, won’t she.”

After answering calmly, I turned to Lady Dorthea, who was standing in the corner.

“Finally, Madame herself said that it was my good-natured joke. Isn’t that right, ma’am?”

I grinned like a blooming flower, exerting wordless pressure.

“Now do I make up more nonsense?”

“Ah, no! Yes, yes …… of course, the public lady was joking.”

“Mrs. Dorthea!”

Kailin called out to her shrilly. Mrs. Dorthea looked overwhelmed and finally closed her mouth.

It was only a short time at the tea party, but it was enough to tell what Lady Dorthea was like.

She liked to bully, but definitely didn’t take the lead and was a wild card. It was easy to control as long as Kailin secretly said some goading words in the background.

This time, it was only after Kailin’s persuasion that she came out to testify that she came here in order to pay back for the humiliation at the tea party.

But such a person would avoid a frontal attack. I looked at her, who couldn’t meet my eyes and was scared, and unabashedly smiled.

“But, Inquisitor! The Duchess almost shot at my battle last year as well ……”

“Inquisitor, the brown bear the Viscount claimed was my prey from the beginning.”

I quickly changed the subject as Kailin tried to salvage the situation. A completely opposite claim, the Law Minister’s eyes glowed with interest.

“Hmph, go on.”

“I shot the stone bow, but didn’t suppress it. His Royal Highness cut my throat for me.”

“Ah, no! The words of the duchess are false ……!” Viscount Gavoy cried, shaking his head in panic.

“Look at the bear’s corpse for the answer.” I quickly interrupted.

“If multiple attacks had been made as Viscount Gavoy claimed, would there have been nothing left on the carcass?”

“I’ll confirm that right away, Sir Dennis. Deputy Prosecutor, verify the bear’s body.”

“Yes!”

In response to my reasonable claim, the Chief Prosecutor immediately ordered the consideration of one of the knights in the venue. Things proceeded smoothly, with only Viscount Gavoy hiding his alarm and hesitating.

“Ah, that’s …… all, slit the throat at once ……”

Not only was the description inconsistent, he couldn’t even speak clearly. He also had no confidence in his own words, and his voice in defense became smaller.

“Then why is Duchess Eckhardt in the forest with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

Just at that time, a pale voice came from my left, and I turned my head.

Now, the main character finally appeared!

Probably because the puppet didn’t hit, Marquis Ellen anxiously stepped in.

“I know that His Royal Highness and the Duchess have not had a single encounter.”

“I can’t believe the two hunted together.”

Nodding heads appeared in the field in the face of the doubts raised by Marquis Ellen. As a matter of fact, since I’ve been called the “Crown Prince’s Assassin”, I’ve already anticipated that this part would be mentioned.

Even if I have the “Assassin’s Token”, if I don’t have a convincing explanation for the bear hunt alone, I’m still doomed. The reason is that the meeting with him was arranged by the game maker.

Using the word “accidental” won’t clear up the misunderstanding. And that would only give the framers room to argue.

So, I reluctantly opened my mouth, in order to trample on the smallest hint of doubt.

“Met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince …… for the sake of a secret meeting.” It wasn’t my words, the system specified it!

I clenched my teeth and made the form separate.

“His Highness and I actually …… have, in love with each other ……”

Despite that, the voice trembled.

How could I not do it!

It’s a crisis. But if I close my mouth here, it will definitely feel strange. No matter what, I have to break this dangerous situation.

“Yes …… have a love for each other.”

I cleared my throat and barely opened my mouth to finish.

“What, what?!”

Clang- At that moment, the booming sound of a knocking on the table on the right side of the table came to mind. The Duke looked at me with wide eyes.

“Penelope Eckhardt! That, what the hell is that ……!”
