Judge Seeral\'s expression was actually not good. He hated the fact that Marquess Duglous was making a fair point. But he was also disgracing a royal which he did not like. He was just about to say something to settle the issue when a voice once more cut in. "Oi, old man. Let\'s talk about you then. Are you telling me you are clean? If I recall correctly, you have many maids in your house, and they seem to change at least a few times a week. How many skeletons do you have in your closet, hmm? Should we consider your status of being a marquess? Are you worthy of it? Do you really want to stick your neck out like this because I am sure I can walk into your house and find many things that would be worthy of you being arrested for."
Vance was making up baseless accusations as he smiled and continued not letting Marquess Duglous say a word: "I will warn you now. You say one more word to my girl about anything that deals with her personal life, and I will come up there and cut your dick off before burning it in a fireball."
"It was you! You fucking bastard, I want to kill you! You fucking fuck! You cut my dick off! I will never forgive you!" Prince Edward went insane. He figured out who cut his dick off! He wanted nothing more than to tear Vance to shreds! Prince Edward was quickly subdued by the guards shutting him up. He could only stare intently at Vance with eyes filled with murderous intent.
Marquess Duglous\'s eyes narrowed he could tell that Vance was not lying. He did not wish to test such a thing. Judge Seeral stared wide eyed at Vance\'s sudden outburst, but he had to admit he liked this kid\'s way of thinking! "Ahem!" Judge Seeral slammed his gavel on the wooden block. "Sir Vance, please watch your words."
Vance gave a cheeky grin and bowed his head. "My apologies. I get angered when anyone dares to slander my woman."
"Understandable." Judge Seeral secretly gave a thumbs up to Vance. Even the king wanted to praise the lad, if not for the fact that he kept saying my woman this, my woman that! With the court now once more calm. Judge Seeral hammered his gavel once more. "Princess Alice, please continue."
Alice nodded and looked directly at Marquess Duglous. "Marquess Duglous, I think you are a bit behind on the times because I have in no way, shape, or form ever wanted the throne. I don\'t think I deserve it, nor do I think I can handle the pressure that comes with it since I have always been a free spirit. But…. As a princess of this kingdom, I can not turn a blind eye to those who dare to cause harm to our citizens and would even attempt to kill their own siblings. The other things were things I just found out recently. And to be honest, I am utterly disgusted. No such person should ever be a ruler of a kingdom. Especially the kingdom I grew up in and love dearly. As for what more I need to say, I have said it all. All evidence and witness from here on out will decide my brothers… No… He is not worthy of even being called brother. It will decide Edward Findale\'s fate."
With this, Alice walked back to the side with her arms behind her back until she reached Vance, who she openly hugged and buried her face into his chest. She was happy that Vance was willing to stand out and protect her.
Vance once more got many looks filled with killing intent. He looked around and saw many younger noblemen staring at him with fire in their eyes. He smiled at them as if to say, what can you do to me? Vance was actually quite enjoying himself right now. He thought this court session would be boring, but it was turning out to be quite interesting.
"Sir Vance, please take the floor." Judge Seeral was going down the list of those all involved.
Vance nodded and patted Alice\'s butt, which caused her to blush and hit Vance. And also caused more looks filled with killing intent. Even the king and his brother were joining in this time! Judge Seeral really found it amusing. The young man was not acting righteously but just acting himself. Every word he has said thus far and his actions have all been within the bounds of the court. While borderline, he was still staying within the bounds. "Sir Vance, please tell the court what you have witnessed."
"Let\'s see, when I first came into contact with Princess Alice, she was being chased by a bunch of bandits. Well, would be considered bandits if they did not have a noble emblem on their swords. It was that of a hawgoon holding a sword." Vance began but was soon interrupted by one of the nobles.
"Slander!" A noble stood up. He just so happened to be a baron with a family emblem, just as described.
"Slander?" Vance looked up at the bald headed chubby man and asked. "I don\'t know you or your family. Why would I slander you? I was asked to recount what I know. I am just doing what I was asked. If you have a guilty conscience, how about we have you come stand next to dickless here?"
"Who are you calling dickless!? I still have something left!" Prince Edward yelled out but realized he actually fell into Vance\'s trap and made himself into a fool!
"Oh? Maybe I should shave it more?" Vance replied and went to step forward, but two guards quickly stepped in front of him. Vance raised his hands and stepped back with a smile. "I was just offering to help him out, is all."
The guards were trying to hold in their laughter. Even they, who were used to dealing with many people in court, found this young man amusing.
