After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

When the Lord said this, his venomous green eyes sparkled:

"The Second Prince is Xilun's blood relative. He will definitely do justice for Haines. At the very least, he won't give us a particularly severe punishment, right?"

After hearing the Lord's thoughts, the faces of those present obviously improved a lot.

"Um..."

The Duke closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"I can accept your suggestion, but it can only be a backup measure...

"If Everett has something on Lilucius, he could use it to force Lilucius to step down. Then he could conduct the trial alone.

"Everey has always hated Siren. If he were to take control of the arbitration table alone, we would suffer even greater losses."

The Lady was anxious:

"So what are you going to do now? I heard that Duke Impes is not an easy person to talk to. He probably won't agree to postpone the arbitration meeting.

"It's okay to postpone it, so we have a chance to prepare..."

"The Duke? Isn't he at the border?" Lilibei cast a confused look at the lady.

"Isn't it said that the person in power in Imperth now is Lady Imperth? If the Duke is not here, she should be present at the arbitration meeting."

Everyone was silent.

"Duke, why don't you try your luck and apply for the 'pre-arbitration consultation' process?"

Julian spoke quickly to the Duke,

"Besides, a war hero has been born. The entire empire is busy celebrating this honor. They should have no time to prepare for the arbitration meeting, right? If we are lucky, maybe Impels will withdraw the lawsuit. Who knows?"

"Well, you have a point," the Duke nodded and stood up.

"I will immediately prepare the personnel and materials for the negotiations. I will try my best to make Mrs. Impers believe that the whole matter is not sufficient for arbitration."

After hearing this, the other family members breathed a sigh of relief.

royal palace.

Arbitration Office Studio.

The second prince, Liu Luxiu, was sitting in the studio. He was usually responsible for arbitrating matters.

but...

He is really troubled by the current situation.

"Ugh!"

Li Luxiu put his hand on his neck and moved it a little.

"Things have gotten out of hand...

Finally, a war hero emerged. My father designated this period as a day of celebration.

But the celebrating protagonists almost met with an accident, and the culprit of the accident was the Haines family, who were politically opposed to them!

Xilun...you are really in danger this time. If Impes can produce evidence, I can't protect you!"

Liu Xu glanced at the letter on the table. It was written to him by Lady Lord. The general content of the letter was that she wanted Liu Xu to preside over the arbitration meeting alone so as to reduce their punishment.

But Liu Xuxu thought of something else.

"It is clear that the Duke and the Lord have not reached an agreement. This letter should be sent to me after the negotiations are completed."

Li Luxiu read the letter for a long time, and finally said helplessly,

"It seems that the Lord has no hope for the Duke's actions this time..."

After he put the letter down, he stared blankly ahead:

Impels was willing to file for arbitration on a day that brought glory to them. Maybe the whole incident was not just Ciarán Haynes's deliberate assassination of Scott Impels...

At this time, a maid pushed the door open.

She bowed to Li Lu and said to him:

"Your Highness, the Second Prince. Duke Haines and Lady Impers have arrived. They are now on both sides of the corridor. As long as you..."

"Let them come at the same time." Liu Luxiu waved at the maid.

"Ah? But according to your style, it shouldn't be Haines..."

"I don't want to waste time."

Li Luxiu rolled his eyes at the maid, but his inner thoughts were,

"Because these two families are the right-hand men of the empire! Any mistake could ruin the relationship between the royal family and either party!"

...

After obtaining the consent of the Second Prince, representatives from both sides set off and headed towards the studio.

Naturally, they ran into each other in the hallway.

When Atole saw Nora, his eyes were full of surprise:

Lady Nora was wearing a dress made of velvet and high-end silk from Impess today. Her long straight milk tea-colored hair was carefully combed and tied up behind her head, and her pink eyes were still bright.

Even though Nora has been out of the limelight for almost twenty years, she is still a great beauty among her peers.

"Nora...?"

It is impossible for Atole to forget Nora, as she is still very beautiful.

But Nora didn't appreciate it:

“I’m Mrs. Impes now.

"Duke Haines, please don't call me so intimately in the palace. We are not familiar with each other."

"No, I thought...you were dead?"

Atole looked confused and asked Nora a lot of questions.

"I have been trying to find you for so many years, but I have never found you. You suddenly disappeared overnight. I have treated Lisa the same way as you over the years. After all, you are sisters..."

After Nora heard the scumbag in front of her say such words, she tried hard to keep a smile on her face, but her hands hidden in her skirt clenched into fists:

"You just wanted to get me, so you heard that you treated Lisa as a replacement after I died?"

"Ah? I'm not..." Atole was even more confused.

But Atole realized something:

"No, why are you..."

She looked at Lady Nora's clothes, which were definitely not something a viscount could afford: naturally, the cost of these clothes was James's capital~

Atole was surprised: "Didn't you reject me because you didn't want to curry favor with the rich and powerful?!"

"Ah!"

There was suddenly mockery in Atole's eyes.

"After Baroque died, you married the Duke of Impess for revenge. Was it just to wait for this day to come? Well, I overestimated you!

"Women really love power and wealth, and in the end, they don't even care about their innocence..."

Nora knew that in these few seconds, Atole had imagined a lot of ridiculous plots:

After being abandoned by a scumbag, Nora turned around and chose a man who was more powerful than the scumbag for revenge. After becoming the man's wife, she used the power brought by his spouse's identity to take revenge...

Look at the fool's eyes.JPG

If I told him now that Baroque, who he killed, was still alive and had become the Duke of Imperius, he might still think I was lying.

Nora half-opened her eyes and looked at Atole.

"Let's go to the arbitration table and give him another slap in the face."

"You can scold me, but you can never scold my husband."

Nora looked at Atole with cold eyes.

"I thought too much. You are still as stubborn as you were many years ago. No wonder you haven't made any progress since you inherited the title!"

"you...!"

Atole clenched his fists, and suddenly he unclenched them.

“Forget it, you are no longer the gentle and charming Nora of the past, and I am no longer the Atole who simply longed for your love.

"Since you finally chose to cling to the powerful and even go against me - then,

"Our fate has ended..."
