1512 There’s Such a Way?
The trial hall was silent for a second.
What was she saying?
If Chu Nan was not an outsider?
This kid was from the Earth Federation. Not to mention that he was not from the same race as the royal family, he was not even from Declan. He was clearly an out-and-out and complete outsider!
Chu Nan and Pamela also looked at Prince Lekas in surprise.
Of course, they understood that Prince Lekas wanted to help Chu Nan and save him from danger, but these words were too unreliable…
President Anduin frowned and looked at Prince Lekas. “What do you mean?”
Prince Lekas smiled and turned to look at Chu Nan and Pamela. His expression changed slightly and he glanced at the two of them. Then, he stretched out his hand and took out a very ancient paper-like thing that looked like it was made of animal leather.
President Anduin’s gaze landed on this leather paper and his expression immediately changed slightly.
Prince Lekas raised the leather paper and the smile on his face disappeared. His expression became serious. He coughed lightly and raised his voice, “His Majesty has decreed that in view of Chu Nan’s great contribution to the empire, he is specially given a medal of the Empire’s Guards and a number of other belongings. In His Majesty’s name, he is given the title of Baron of the Empire and a piece of territory…”
Hearing Prince Lekas narrate the handwritten order personally written by His Majesty Gremayne, almost everyone looked at him in shock.
This… although Chu Nan had indeed made a great contribution to the empire, why was His Majesty so anxious to directly bestow him with a reward? Moreover, the reward was so heavy?
What His Majesty did at this juncture was simply as if he was specially causing trouble for the Elder Council.
Some of them had ugly expressions.
The power conflict between the emperor of the empire and the royal Elder Council had been going on for a long time. Could it be that His Majesty Gremayne wanted to take this opportunity to fight the Elder Council head-on?
If that was the case, the consequences would be much more terrifying than when President Anduin wanted to deal with Prince Lekas!
Prince Lekas read the reward for Chu Nan on the leather paper and stopped. He raised his head to look at President Anduin.
President Anduin looked at him with a gloomy expression and slowly shook his head.
“This is not enough. Even if he’s already the baron of the empire and has the title of the empire’s guard, he should still be executed for secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique.”
Many people around him could not help but nod.
The crime of secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique was too serious. It was not something that some rewards and credit could offset.
Prince Lekas smiled as if he had long known that President Anduin would say this. He lowered his head to look at the leather paper and continued to increase, “In view of the deep friendship Chu Nan has formed with several Declan Princesses in the previous few incidents, His Majesty specially approved one of them to marry Chu Nan. The two sides will become husband and wife and contribute their strength to the prosperity of the empire and the royal family in the future.”
At this point, Prince Lekas looked up and smiled at President Anduin.
“Speaker Anduin, in that case, Chu Nan is no longer an outsider. As a member of the Declan royal family, even if he learns the Exterminating Heart Technique, it won’t be a problem, right?”
The air in the trial hall completely froze.
This was not just a description, but a true stagnation.
At this moment, the people in the judgment hall were all experts of the Declan royal family. Under his fluctuating mood, his Internal Breath circulated, naturally affecting the space around him and driving the spatial energy fluctuation to affect the spatial environment.
After hearing Prince Lekas’s last sentence, everyone was stunned for a moment, causing the spatial energy flow in the entire trial hall to freeze. It instantly locked onto the entire space, causing it to completely freeze.
In the next moment, spatial energy began to flow again. The space recovered, and a commotion erupted.
“No way!”
“His Majesty actually personally bestowed a marriage?”
“Which princess is it?”
“Nonsense, it must be Princess Pamela below.”
“Is this really fine?”
“Indeed. According to the clan rules, if Chu Nan marries into the family, he can obtain the teachings of the first three levels of the Exterminating Heart Technique. Princess Pamela definitely has not learned the fourth level now. Therefore, even if Chu Nan secretly learns, he won’t be able to learn the fourth level, so it can’t be considered a violation of the rules.”
“Then Chu Nan doesn’t have to die?”
“Of course.”
…
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Chu Nan did not have the time to pay attention to that. He widened his eyes and looked at Prince Lekas in shock.
There was such a thing?!
The performance of Prince Rokamp when he came into contact with him several times suddenly flashed through Chu Nan’s mind and he immediately felt enlightened.
No wonder Prince Rokamp acted so strangely when facing him and deliberately mentioned Princess Romanti and Princess Viennelle in front of him many times. It turned out that they had clearly had such thoughts for a long time!
In fact… Chu Nan suspected that he had been captured for this crime and even forced to die because of Prince Lekas!
Chu Nan first glanced at President Anduin and shook his head.
No, at the very least, President Anduin and the people from the Elder Council should not have colluded with Prince Lekas. There was definitely no possibility of acting with the anger and gloom on their faces, and there was no need for them to.
Clearly, they did not expect Prince Lekas to actually cooperate with His Majesty Gremayne of the Declan Empire to make such a decision. Of course, they did not cooperate with them to act.
Chu Nan could not help but turn to look at Pamela on the other side. He was surprised to discover that she did not have much of a surprised expression and immediately understood.
It seemed that Pamela had long been informed of this, which was why she appeared unexpectedly calm in a normal trial and did not refute or resist at all.
Feeling Chu Nan’s gaze, Pamela raised her head and met his gaze. However, her face suddenly blushed and she lowered her head slightly.
Only at this moment did she remind people of that thin girl in the past.
The corners of Chu Nan’s mouth twitched. He looked at Prince Lekas and happened to discover that he had also looked over and was revealing an ambiguous gaze.
“Why?” Chu Nan frowned slightly and looked at the warm smile on Prince Lekas’s face in confusion.
Could it be that Prince Lekas had spent so much effort and energy and did not even hesitate to drag the Elder Council of their Declan royal family down with him to marry a certain princess?
Was there a need?
