To be honest, Duanmu Huai didn't expect that he would be able to watch such a good show if he just came to the banquet out of boredom.

The reason why he agreed to come to this banquet was mainly because the Guardian civilization was currently being rebuilt, and Duanmuhuai had nothing to do for the time being. So when An said that there was a noble dinner inviting them to attend, Duanmuhuai

I agreed.

After all, it was his first time to attend such a noble dinner in reality, and he wanted to experience the atmosphere.

But what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that he actually let himself watch a good show?!

The annulment of an engagement, I originally thought that this kind of plot only appeared in novels!

However, this reason is too retarded!

In the online novels Duanmuhuai read, the main reason for the break-up of an engagement was because the male protagonist's family was poor, or the male protagonist had no talent, and then lost his inheritance rights, etc. The woman felt that there was no benefit in marrying the useless male protagonist, so she gave up the engagement.

Then the male protagonist said that thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty, etc. Although this reason is a bit snobbish, it is not unreasonable if you think about it carefully.

Who likes to marry their precious daughter to a loser? Unless the woman also thinks that the woman is a loser and just throws it out to save worry, otherwise she will usually choose to break the engagement.

Of course, it is not impossible for the man to break up on his own initiative. Duanmu Huai still remembers that when he was watching a short video, the wife cuckolded her husband. The husband was so angry that he made the cuckold video public on the wedding day, and then kicked the woman directly.

But... to be honest, your excuse is really laughable!

God damn true love, what kind of stupid idiot said this?

"Lord Ard......!"

The noble lady named Audrey was obviously shocked. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man with a wave of his hand.

"Shut up, Audrey Hasha, I judge that you are not qualified to be my fiancée, and you have also done all kinds of evil things to Angela, there is no way you can deny it!

"

"Evil deeds...?"

Faced with Alder's accusation, Odile seemed to be at a loss and had no idea what he was talking about. The latter stared at Odile and spoke angrily.

"Don't you look down on Angela because she is a commoner, and even bully her? Not only did you bully her, but you also stole and destroyed Angela's property, and even attempted to assassinate Angela! I have already investigated this clearly!

You are the mastermind behind all the evil deeds!"

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Even An and Gu Leiya widened their eyes in surprise, not knowing what to say. Duanmu Huai glanced at them and asked.

"is that so?"

"I-I haven't heard of anything like this happening in the academy!"

An shook her head desperately. She was joking. She was the princess of Manalia. If such bullying or even assassination occurred in Manalia Academy, she couldn't possibly know anything about it!

"Miss Hannah?"

Duanmuhuai looked at Hannah, who frowned.

"During the days when you were not in the academy, Miss Audrey and Miss Angela did have some conflicts, but at most it was just that Miss Audrey hoped that Miss Angela would not be too close to her fiancé. There was no such thing.

I heard there is such a thing..."

"We are willing to testify!

"

However, at this moment, I saw a few more young people walking out of the crowd and standing next to Alder. Seeing those people, An opened her mouth and was speechless.

.

"What's up with her?"

Seeing An's appearance, Duanmu Huai asked Gu Leiya doubtfully, could there be someone she likes among them?

Facing Duanmuhuai's question, Gu Leya hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice.

"These are all the sons of powerful people in the Kingdom of Manalia, and they are all important figures among the nobles of the Kingdom..."

"I see."

Duanmuhuai finally understood why An showed such an expression. Before coming to the banquet, An also introduced Duanmuhuai that the two families engaged in this engagement were promoted by her father and were part of a political marriage.

But having said that, precisely because it is a political marriage, it is not just as simple as an engagement between two families, it may even affect the political structure of the royal family.

And now the engagement ceremony, which the king has clearly approved, is actually opposed by the successors who also come from the important ministers. This inevitably makes people wonder if there are signs of a power struggle within the kingdom. It is no wonder that An is stunned at this moment. Obviously she is also

I never thought that a simple engagement dinner would turn out like this.

At this time, the sons of the nobles also stood beside Angela and reprimanded Audrey.

"Miss Angela is indeed from a commoner background. She may not be familiar with the understanding that nobles should have, but Miss Audrey's rebuke is too much!"

"Angela has obviously worked hard, but just because of the difference in status, you would do such a bad thing. It is really unjust!"

Faced with the accusations from everyone, Audrey's face became increasingly pale, and she also opened her mouth to retort.

"I did teach Miss Angela some principles, but I don't remember that I ever hurt her!"

"This is your arrogance! As an earl's daughter from a prominent family, you look down on ordinary civilians at all!"

Alder glared at Audrey fiercely.

"Stop making excuses! Other daughters have already complained to us, saying that they were forced to bully Miss Angela under your instruction!

"

Soon, several noble daughters came over and started crying, and Duanmu Huai finally figured out the reason from their crying.

To put it simply, according to this group of people, Audrey, as the daughter of an earl, has always disliked Angela, who was born as a commoner, so she always scolded her, and even suggested that the rich ladies should bully her, thereby quarreling with herself.

Qing Guan... Well, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a vicious character like the eldest, second sister or stepmother in the Cinderella story.

As these people spoke, the atmosphere in the banquet hall also began to change. Everyone began to cast dissatisfied and angry looks at Audrey, while Audrey stood there blankly, looking like she didn't know what to do.

What to do to look good.

"your Highness!

"

However, at this moment, Alder suddenly raised his head and looked at An. Hearing his shout, others also turned their attention to An.

"Please also punish this vicious woman immediately!

"

"Huh? But...this..."

Faced with Alder's request, An was at a loss for a while. She originally came here, at best, to represent the royal family and send blessings to the engagement of the two. But she didn't expect that the engagement dinner would turn out like this, which made An

I didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, she is not very good at this kind of interpersonal communication. Otherwise, Gu Liya would not be the only friend in the academy.

But just when An didn't know what to do, Duanmuhuai patted her on the head.

"give it to me."

"Mr. Knight? Is that okay?"

An's eyes lit up when he heard Duanmuhuai's words, and Duanmuhuai also laughed.

"Of course, you are my fiancée after all. I can't watch you being embarrassed by others."

"Hey hey hey..."

Facing Duanmuhuai's words, An showed an embarrassed smile. Then she nodded, lifted up her skirt and stepped back. Duanmuhuai stepped forward and stared at everyone. Looking at Duanmuhuai's appearance,

The whispers around him immediately disappeared. After all, everyone knew Duanmu Huai's reputation as a dragon-slaying warrior, not to mention that he was the fiancé of An and Gu Leiya. Although he was not awarded a title, everyone also knew that he was equal to

He is the next King of Manalia, so naturally he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

Duanmuhuai glanced at the people in front of him, including the pale-faced Audrey, a few aristocratic heirs who were filled with indignation and seemed to want to do justice for heaven, the crying rich lady, and the one held in Alder's arms

Yes, a girl named Angela.

Then, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer.

Humph, you dare to act cunning in front of the judge, you are really tired of life.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai said.

"I have almost understood what happened. Since you have said so much, then... come up with evidence."

"Why?"

Facing Duanmu Huai's open hand, everyone was stunned. But looking at their reactions, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"What? Weren't you just arrogant and arrogant? You can't even produce any evidence and are just talking nonsense here!"

Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai first looked at the rich ladies, and when he felt his gaze, the crying rich ladies were startled and hurriedly stepped back.

"Let's start with you. You said that you were instructed by Miss Audile to bully Miss Angela. Then bring us the evidence."

"I, we..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's scrutiny, the noble daughters turned pale.

"We have no evidence..."

"No? There's no written note or anything? Then what the hell are you making up here?"

"No, it's not that we don't want to leave evidence, Your Excellency!
