As soon as Margaret finished speaking, everyone present except the Duke of Austin showed playful expressions. On the surface, the five dukes seemed to check and balance each other, but after taking off the disguise, everyone was thinking about how to kill each other in front of interests. The other four belong to their own family.

Austin has been in the officialdom for so many years, but he still does a good job on the surface. He said calmly, "I don't know what your highness means?"

Margaret said: "After investigation, your eldest son, Mr. Walter Austin, is the murderer in this case."

Austin: "Can your Highness produce evidence? Walter is my heir to Austin. I don't know if His Highness can bear the responsibility of slandering the future duke. Although you are a royal family, it is written in the Olivia Code that even if the royal family makes mistakes receive punishment."

"His Highness Chrissy is here as a witness, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Chrissy nodded in agreement.

Austin is pinning her on Chrissy.

If Margaret can't produce evidence, this cauldron will definitely be held on her head, and her enthronement ceremony will be soon. If she is punished for this, her little prestige will disappear. At that time, she will No longer have any right to speak, completely reduced to a puppet of power.

So before she ascended the throne, these people who were ready to move had to be held down, even if they couldn't be pressed to death, they had to be left here with half their lives.

Margaret: "Since I dare to say that, of course I can show evidence."

"The first is the Sinclairs who are still appealing."

Chrissy lamented: "Margaret, the Sinclairs have withdrawn the lawsuit. They said it was a misunderstanding."

Austin's complexion improved. It seems that His Highness Chrissy helped him deal with the evidence in advance, and his confidence has returned a lot.

Chrissy: "Marguerite, do you have any other evidence?"

Margaret was not afraid at all. She knew that Chrissy would favor Austin. Although she was prepared in her heart, she still couldn't help being chilled by being forced into this situation by Chrissy.

Maybe she was nothing in Chrissy's heart.

Margaret suppressed the sourness in her heart, "Since the Sinclairs have withdrawn the lawsuit, I will appeal."

"Walter Austin tried to do something to me the night before the ball."

Messing up the common people and provoking the royal family are two different things.

The Duke of Austin emphasized his tone: "Your Highness must have evidence for what you say."

Margaret: "Of course there is evidence. Before that, please don't make any noise."

"Duke Austin, if you want evidence, it's better to let Walter Austin tell you."

After waiting outside for a long time, Sheridan heard Margaret's order, came in with Walter Austin, and threw Walter Austin on the carpet at random.

Austin recognized his son at a glance. He never thought that members of the Austin family would suffer such a great humiliation, and immediately said: "You!"

Margaret put her index finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.

Walter Austin's hood hadn't been taken off yet, so he didn't know what was going on with him, let alone that he was in front of the six people with the highest power in Olivia.

Margaret wrote lightly: "Speak."

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I didn't know it was you! No matter how brave you are, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life and don't tell His Highness Chrissy and my father!"

Margaret: "More than that, go ahead."

Walter Austin was tied up these days, and while there was no bodily harm, there was no shortage of food and drink for him.But after so many days of mental torture, I couldn't hold it anymore. When I heard Margaret's voice, I vomited everything out, and told all the evil things I did before.

Margaret waved to the maid to help her fill the teacup, and drank tea calmly, but the Duke of Austin blushed as he listened, panting heavily, and finally couldn't help kicking Walter Austin, knocking him down On the ground: "Asshole!"

When Walter Austin heard Duke Austin's voice, his whole body was startled. He trembled: "Father, father?"

The Duke of Austin turned around and saluted Chrissy: "Your Highness, I am not strict in discipline, and I ask Your Highness to give me a lighter punishment because I have worked so hard for the imperial tribute for so many years."

He didn't ask Marguerite, because he knew that Chrissy had the final say on everything here.

Chrissy threw the question to Marguerite: "Marguerite, what do you think?"

Marguerite said obediently: "I listen to Uncle Chrissy."

Chrissy would definitely favor the Duke of Austin. She couldn't get Walter Austin to justice, but she must seek justice for the girls who were bullied, and she must also rub the arrogance of the Austin family.

"Although he wanted to do something wrong, he actually failed, but I believe Uncle Chrissy will uphold justice for me when he injured me with a knife."

There was a hint of sternness on Chrissy's calm face, like a cheetah being enraged, baring its teeth and growling, he said in a low voice: "Did he hurt you?"

"Ah."

Margaret nodded, this was the first time she had seen such an expression from the always gentle Chrissy.

She touched the gauze on her arm. To be honest, she was a little scared by Chrissy like this.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Clichy's bad tone, the Duke of Austin knew that this matter might not be good. He wanted to use his status and merit to persuade him, but Clichy stopped him with a gesture.

All the smiles on Chrissy's face disappeared: "According to Olivia's Code, you can deal with it as you please, but since the Duke of Austin pleaded,

May also be punished lightly. "

Duke Austin's face was overjoyed, Margaret's eyes dimmed, as expected she was overthinking, for a moment she actually imagined that Chrissy would stand up for her.

But Chrissy immediately said: "Then cut it."

Austin and Margaret: "?"

The cut that Chrissy said could not be the one she thought...

Chrissy: "It's not just the things below, whichever hand hurts Marguerite will be chopped off, and both hands will be chopped off."

Walter Austin is the successor of the Duke of Austin, and Chrissy wants to make him not only lose his fertility, but also completely remove him from future power struggles.

Walter Austin fainted from fright, and Duke Austin also turned pale. He did not expect that Chrissy would impose such a severe punishment.

The Duke of Bartlett and Duke of Zephaniah, who had been watching the play for a long time, also sensed something bad, and stood up to intercede for Walter Austin.

Margaret wouldn't let Walter Austin escape: "I was at the Zephaniah Auctions sale the night of the accident, and I was attacked in the back street of the Zephaniah Auctions, and the letters from the sale seemed Duke Zephaniah gave it to me."

Duke Zephaniah sat down quickly and stopped talking.

Bartlett still wanted to intercede, and Chrissy glanced at Duke Bartlett with his deep blue eyes: "Bartlett, I remember that there is a decree in the Olivia Code that clearly prohibits the public sale of female slaves."

Duke Bartlett immediately thought of the night at the Zephaniah Auction House, where his second son Robin Bartlett and Gene Horatio fought because of a female slave.

This sentence not only suppressed Duke Bartlett, but also made Duke Horatio afraid to speak.

Chrissy leaned on the backrest, crossed his hands on his raised knees: "I hope everyone will keep this matter secret and not tell it out."

"Dismiss."

At the end of the meeting, both Walter Austin and the Duke of Austin were punished, but the assassination of Margaret was left alone.

When Margaret walked out of the meeting room, she held the door with her hand, her legs were a little weak. This time, she won the fight with power, although it was not a big victory, but it was a narrow victory. Will win so well.

The Duke of Austin can't make any waves for the time being, and the Dukes of Bartlett, Horatio and Zephaniah were also beaten by Chrissy.

Among the last five Dukes, the only one who stayed out of the matter was...

"Your Highness Margaret, please stay."

Margaret turned her head and saw that it was Sheridan's sister, Judy Wilde.

In this smoke of gunpowder, the only person who saw nothing from the beginning to the end──Judy Wilde, and Duke Wilde behind her.
