Shen Zhiyi clapped his hands, indicating that he could handle it.
Samus lowered his eyes.
He stared at the slender fingertips that gently stroked him, and the soft, pink fingertips. His finger bones curled up and stepped aside.
Shen Zhiyi looked at Herbert, his eyes suddenly cold.
"Explain? Apologize?" She sneered as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "You guys are worthy?!"
She suddenly stood up and approached step by step.
"As the head of the Senate, don't you know why the ceremony failed?"
"Is it hard to tell that the bond between you and me was destroyed by an abnormal energy?"
She exuded a majestic aura and pointed her hand at Herbert.
"Do you want me to throw the energy tracing report in your faces?"
"The culprit hasn't been found yet, and you're so eager to put the blame on me?"
"It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Herbert's heart skipped a beat. He swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down. "Your Highness, there is no evidence. How can you make such a wild guess?"
"The ritual failed. It's true. It's also true that you formed a pact with the black snake. The Senate is asking you to apologize to the people for the public good."
Shen Zhiyi sneered, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Your Excellency hasn't yet held the Senate accountable for failing to properly oversee the altar, allowing these scoundrels to exploit it, and yet you're already disappointed?"
"If anyone wants to apologize, it should be you, the Senate, who should apologize to His Highness first!"
Herbert was speechless and his face flushed red after being blocked by her series of counterattacks.
He couldn't imagine that the eldest princess would be so tough.
Directly point the finger at the Senate.
He took a deep breath, knowing that it was impossible to ask her to apologize, so he could only retreat and seek the next best thing: "Since your Excellency is not so insistent, this old minister has nothing to say."
"But I'm afraid that your subjects, who have placed such high hopes on you, will be deeply, deeply disappointed."
"Compared to you, the Second Lord has been very considerate of me and the overall situation lately..."
He was hinting at a threat to replace the heir.
Shen Zhiyi interrupted him impatiently, “As for the successor, it depends on each person’s own situation.”
Her inheritance rights were determined when her mother was still alive.
Even if the Senate and her stepmother wanted to change the candidate, they would have to wait until the day of the election ceremony to compete with her to determine the winner.
She and her sister want to compete with each other, not just in their own abilities.
There is also the ability of the owner.
so……
Shen Zhiyi glanced at Samus.
She would definitely get him.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Herbert's eyes fell on Samuel again, and he said angrily: "Even if Your Highness doesn't care about his own reputation, he should at least consider the royal etiquette."
"How can such a lowly person with low abilities stay by His Highness's side?!"
"Please think twice before sending him back to the dungeon!"
"Stop being so willful!"
Samuel's eyes narrowed.
He looked at Shen Zhiyi nervously.
Will she throw herself back into that dark place?
"Herbert!" Shen Zhiyi's voice suddenly rose, and he said angrily, "You are my father, is it your turn to tell me what to do with him?"
"He is my contracted beast husband, not something you can treat with contempt!"
"The man chosen by the Duke has unlimited potential. Sooner or later, he will become a figure feared by the entire Senate. Just wait and see."
"If you forget the distinction between high and low again, I will show you what true royal etiquette is!"
Samuel was stunned.
He raised his eyes and stared at Shen Zhiyi in disbelief.
Is she... defending him?
Still trust him so much?
Herbert's face turned pale instantly.
He took a step back, his beard trembling with anger, "Your Highness, you..."
"Show him off." Shen Zhiyi turned his back and said in a cold and hard tone.
Herbert looked at her back unwillingly, glanced at Samuel again, and left angrily with a sullen face and a belly full of anger.
Just as he turned and passed by Samuel.
