Joanna: [What happened? You said such disgusting things to His Highness?]
Edward stared back blankly: "Don't ask me. I don't know. It's none of my business."
Joanna understood, suppressing a laugh as she looked at the Duke who was complaining under the guise of a former subordinate.
How come I never noticed before that this person is so... hahaha!
Li Aili: "..."
She glanced at Joanna, who had been working overtime with her for a month, and then at the 'patient' Edward.
In the end, it was the legal clerk who, after arguing, threatened to take action again.
"Give us a holiday!" a city lord roared, looking up.
The effect was immediate; even those who work overtime stopped arguing.
Li Aili nodded in satisfaction, then added, "One day."
"Aww..."
A series of weak, groaning sounds filled the office.
But something is better than nothing. Everyone packed their things in a rush and then ran out of the office like dogs that had been released from their leash.
The Duke was finally satisfied and brought his wife, with whom he had been in a 'cold war' for a month, back to the castle.
"Conrad, I want cake! All kinds of delicious cake!"
Those tricky cases were terrifying; Li Aili felt like she was going to go bald from worrying for a month straight.
Now only small cakes can comfort her wounded heart.
Just as Conrad was maintaining his elegant smile and turning to leave to prepare lunch, Ellie belatedly received a message.
There was a message from Joanna on the Arcane Communicator:
[Sharing my experience: How to deal with your stubborn husband.]
[Sharing my experience: How to get your unfortunate husband to end the cold war.]
[Sharing Tips: How to Communicate Effectively and Calmly with Your Knight-like Husband]
[Sharing my experience...]
Li Aili: "???" She belatedly realized... that her subordinates seemed to think that she and her husband... had quarreled?
Li Aili looked up and saw the handsome man sitting on the single sofa quietly reading a book.
Noticing her gaze, the man looked up and placed the book face down on his lap. "What's wrong?"
Li Aili smiled and shook her head.
She's definitely overthinking it.
Why would Arthur get angry with her?
Although they are both knights, Arthur is different.
Besides, they haven't had any disagreements lately.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about that case we were arguing about before."
The Duke's long, slender fingers pressed against the book cover, cleverly obscuring the title—"One Hundred Tips for Harmonious Marriage."
The Duke beckoned to Li Aili, gesturing for her to sit down. "Perhaps you can tell me, and I can give you my opinion."
Upon hearing this, Li Aili was surprised that her casual remark would actually elicit help from her husband.
After all, if this matter continues to be argued about, the workload will only pile up!
So, Li Aili walked over to the armchair where the Duke was sitting and began to talk about the argument that morning.
Arthur gently pulled the person down onto his lap.
result……
The Duke, expressionless, noticed that his wife was too focused on official business to notice the ambiguous atmosphere.
"So, darling, do you have any ideas?"
Duke: "..."
Take a deep breath.
Why don't you ask that 'litigator'?
Li Aili: "!"
She happily wrapped her arms around her husband's neck, then gave Arthur a big kiss on the cheek.
Before the Duke could react, she skipped away and immediately contacted a world-renowned 'litigator'.
"...That's how it is. What do you think, Panticillin?"
This problem did not stump Panticillin.
"A law that binds all races? You are truly an exceptional noble lord."
"After a thousand years of effort, I can only extend the concept of 'law' to members of the 'non-Intelligence Alliance'."
Li Aili blushed when praised.
"Your problem is easily solved."
What do you think the law should be?
"I believe that civilians do not need to fear it as long as no one violates it."
"However, the criminal law will deter potential criminals from committing crimes."
Li Aili nodded, as if trying to grasp something in her mind.
"So my opinion is that lifespans may vary, but we can find commonalities among different races as a basis for sentencing."
Li Aili: "!"
In a flash of inspiration, she and Panticillin exclaimed in unison, "Money!"
Everyone's lifespan is different, but even the Tankar elves have to work hard to pay their mortgages.
"As you said, unless the death penalty is imposed, the benefits gained by the criminals who steal the Seven Secrets are disproportionate to the punishment they receive."
“But…” Panticil smiled slightly, “we can establish a penalty system. With penalties exceeding the value of the Seven Great Treasures, we can make those restless individuals think twice before acting.”
"Of course, the sentence should be combined with the prison sentence."
Losing money and freedom might make some guys think twice before they're tempted to do something similar again.
