What?
You're saying the Second Prince isn't the only one colluding with demons?
Viktor also colluded with demons? And in a way even more serious than the Second Prince?
Stop joking, is that collusion?
That was just the great Lord Victor walking his demonic pet, and incidentally upholding justice!
All attacks against the Second Prince were justified defenses, after all, the Second Prince had already transformed into a demon.
If they don't fight back, they'll probably be dead already.
Moreover, Queen Claudia herself was present to pronounce the second prince's sentence.
Before the Queen appeared, Victor's refrain from taking action against the Second Prince could be seen as a sign of respect for the royal family.
Finally, Victor's attack on the Second Prince could be considered to have a legitimate cause.
Without the royal family's consent, even killing the second prince in legitimate self-defense would appear as an act of excessive arrogance.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Queen Claudia stepped in and confirmed the second prince's crimes.
This is his own mother. Even the Empress could not tolerate his behavior, so one can imagine the severity of his crime.
Therefore, Viktor's actions made perfect sense!
The nobles had already prepared all the explanations for Viktor, helping him to fill in the gaps in his mind.
Because in this battle, Victor is the real winner.
Thinking of this, many nobles rushed to Victor's side.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement and joy as they expressed their gratitude to Viktor.
“Victor… no, Your Excellency, I am truly grateful for your help today.”
"If it weren't for Lord Victor, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave this courtyard today."
"Exactly! That despicable guy, Riboot, instigated the prince to bring demons to make us kill each other. He's even more hateful than the demons!"
"Lord Victor, thank you for ridding the people of this scourge!"
None of the nobles were fools; after Riboot and the Second Prince failed, everyone realized the key to today's events.
On the surface, the banquet appeared to be an invitation to elves, intended to promote friendly exchanges between the imperial nobility and the elves.
But in reality, it was a contest over the right to inherit.
In the end, the second prince failed and was accused of colluding with evil.
The eldest prince also failed.
Although he did nothing, the danger on the southern border was inextricably linked to him.
Moreover, by doing nothing, he has already lost his right to compete for the throne.
Thus, the outcome seems to be already set in stone.
Aurelion seemingly did nothing, yet ultimately gained the right to inherit the throne.
The two factions of nobles had to accept all of this with smiles and pretend to greet each other happily.
It's simply because Viktor is Aurelion's teacher.
He single-handedly changed the attitudes of all the families in the empire.
Although the nobles greeted people with smiles on their faces, they were actually very upset inside.
After all, the princely lineage they had long supported had now fallen without warning, catching everyone off guard.
There wasn't even a transition period.
Without a doubt, returning to the family tonight will be another sleepless night.
Despite their resentment, they had no choice but to accept the predetermined fate.
The nobles could only do their best to please Victor, showering him with flattery and praise.
The way Victor was addressed became more respectful.
These actions were not without purpose; after all, each nobleman still harbored his own thoughts.
Ideally, they could all receive Victor's support once things have settled down.
I don't need to get promoted, but at least I need to keep my current position.
At this moment, Lia, who was in the distance, crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and sighed as she watched her brother's reputation reach its peak.
Fortunately, neither raising demons nor the trial of the second prince damaged the family's reputation.
This was a great joy for Lia.
"It seems to be over, and it's another happy ending for everyone."
Lia stretched and yawned, covering her mouth.
Being at a distance, she received the best protection, with Cocoy and Gwen nearby to guard her, so that she, an ordinary person, could watch the show with peace of mind.
Now, as night deepens and drowsiness creeps in, Leah's eyelids begin to feel heavy.
"Hmm... it's time to send Viktor home."
As she pondered, she was about to walk towards Victor when she heard a questioning voice in her ear.
"strangeness……"
Lia turned her head and saw the female witch who was wearing a hood and had a rather small bust.
At this moment, she placed one hand on her chin, as if she were thinking.
The sound just now was made by her.
But what she just said made Liya a little curious.
strangeness?
What's so strange about that? Isn't it all over already?
The sound also drew Gwen's attention, and both of them looked at the Witcher with some confusion.
Under their gazes, the witcher, stroking his chin, spoke with a puzzled expression:
"The demon was stripped from the Second Prince, but..."
Where did that demon go?
