Listening to the commotion around them, the ugliest people present were the eldest prince and Nalant.
There is no need for the eldest prince to say much.
Nalant's face turned ugly because he felt several unfriendly glances.
For example, there are the eyes of the eldest prince... Stella's eyes... the eyes of the earl...
Fortunately, Natasha didn't seem to be affected in any way. When she came to the Earl, she continued to speak.
"I actually watched this thing tonight from beginning to end!"
"When Narant left the hall, I followed him to the second floor. After he changed his clothes and walked out of the guest room, I asked him to come to my room!"
"We have been in the room for more than twenty minutes!"
"After that, Sir Narant left the room and returned to the hall. And I only returned to the hall after he left. By that time, Sir Narant was already in the hall!"
"Miss Natasha, what were you and Sir Narant doing in the room for more than twenty minutes?" At this moment, a question suddenly came from the crowd.
However, when everyone looked away, they didn't see the person asking the question, but this guy actually knew how to 'ask questions anonymously'.
"Giggle! I have no comment! But you can take a guess." Natasha smiled and answered the anonymous question.
"This woman from his grandmother is trying to trick me!" Narant's face suddenly turned green.
Natasha might as well not answer. Following her sweet smile, the nobles around her suddenly began to think.
The eldest prince's eyes nearly popped out as he stared at Nalant.
"Although I can't tell you what Sir Narante and I did in the room, I, Natasha Frank, can testify for Narante. Did he have any chance to go there during the time he left the hall? Kill Baron Quint!”
Although she tricked Narant, Natasha also directly testified to clear Narant of the suspicion of murder.
"If it wasn't him! Then who killed my second son?" Earl Black Iron gritted his teeth.
However, the identity of the eldest granddaughter of the Frank family is no worse than that of any of the earls present. If she is willing to testify for Nalant, then it is really impossible to prove Nalant's murder.
In addition, the credibility of Natasha's testimony is relatively high, because Natasha has no reason to perjure herself for a little knight and then confront the Black Iron Family.
Between an earl family and a knight lord, people from the Frank family obviously know which one is more important.
"Butler Carol!"
"The adults are here with the villains!"
"Call all the servants who are responsible for serving at the banquet tonight!" Although Nalant's suspicion has been cleared, Bernard still has to answer to the Black Iron Earl.
And now it seems that there is crucial information about the maid.
Soon the Tulip Castle butler will be in charge of tonight's banquet service. The male and female servants have been called over, and there are more than fifty people in total, including the servants waiting outside the banquet hall to welcome guests.
After the servants stood up, there was no need for Bernard to order Nalant to look at them one by one.
"My lord, the maid is not here!" Nalant said.
Bernard heard this and looked at the butler again.
The housekeeper asked a few questions to the head maid and got the answer quickly.
"Your Majesty, the Earl, has a maid named Cathy who is missing!" The butler answered truthfully, paused for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "This Cathy has only been in the castle for half a day..."
"Huh?" Lord Count raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty the Count has a head maid who said that this maid was arranged by Lord Aldin!"
brush!
In an instant, everyone looked at Aldin.
Tonight, Aldin had no sense of presence. Suddenly being watched, Aldin's face turned as white as paper.
"Earl... It's none of my business, Lord Earl, and that maid. I just want him to frame Nalant for molesting her!"
"I didn't assign this maid to kill Baron Quint, and I don't know why Baron Quint was killed!"
How can Aldin return the power of the Viscount? If he doesn't handle it well this time, his brother will probably kill him out of righteousness.
This is different from doing small tricks and giving eye drops to Nalant and others.
According to the arrangement, a person with good intentions entered the castle and an earl's heir was killed, which was enough for him to drink a pot.
"What exactly is going on? Please tell me clearly where that maid came from!" Bernard's tone was actually a bit colder, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Tulip Castle is his old lair. The one who dies now is Quint. What if, one day, someone wants to do harm to him or Stella?
"It's all Valad's idea that Lord Earl had..."
Then Aldin began to tell.
It turned out that Valad took the initiative to find him this afternoon and discussed dealing with Narant.
Varad's suggestion was that he deliberately sent a maid to seduce Narant and then falsely accused Narant of molestation after they had sex.
By then, with so many nobles present in the banquet hall, even if this matter is not a big crime for a noble, Nalant's reputation will definitely be ruined.
And Stella will definitely hate Nalant by then.
When Aldin heard about this plan, he thought it was a good plan. It was risky, and although it wouldn't lead to Nalant's death, it could ruin his reputation.
But here, there is a problem, that is, the maids in the castle will definitely not do this, or have the courage to do so.
Valad had already thought of a countermeasure, including using the maid in his manor to do this. Aldin only needed to find a way to arrange for the maid to come in.
For arranging for a maid to enter the castle, Aldin, as the earl's younger brother, was naturally handy.
He made up the identity of his confidant's daughter and easily made Valad's maid the maid of the castle.
"You idiot!" After hearing this, the earl finally couldn't help but swear. Nalant can be said to be the most dazzling existence among the current second sons. Now Aldin actually wants to destroy him and even provoke him. This series of turmoil came.
"Go and send for Valad!"
"There is also a dispatch station. The guards, including the Tulip Knights, are conducting a search and will find the maid for me!"
Bernard also knew at this moment that it was not the time to punish Aldin and immediately started giving orders to the guards.
Immediately, the entire castle moved, and this time a large number of ordinary guards were dispatched into the Earl's castle.
Although there are many guests tonight, it is also the most heavily guarded time.
So now that the nobles have not left, it is impossible for the maid to leave the Earl's castle. This is also the preparation made by the nobles to prevent danger in the castle during major festivals.
As long as the banquet has not ended and the ban order has not been lifted, no one is allowed to enter or exit.
Even if the noble wants to leave, the maid will definitely not be able to leave without the permission of the earl or the castle steward.
Seeing this, Nalant gave some instructions to Shirley and made another excuse, the Earl said, and then Shirley went to the welcoming building under the protection of several guards.
…
After waiting in this hall for more than twenty minutes, no news of the search for the maid came yet, but the guard who was looking for Sir Valad returned first.
A deputy commander of the Tulip Knights hurriedly came to the hall and whispered a few words in Bernard's ear.
In an instant, everyone saw Bernard's face turn livid.
"How's Bernard doing?" Earl Black Iron looked at Bernard in confusion.
"My guards reported that Valad is also dead! He was poisoned and died in the manor just now!"
"Ah! Sir Valad is dead too? What's going on?"
Instantly, the nobles present were in an uproar.
I originally thought that tonight's incident was just the simplest vendetta, but in the end, things changed again and again, and now it seems to be an elaborate conspiracy.
"Bernard, are you trying to trick me on purpose?" the Black Iron Earl said in disbelief.
"Kaman, do you think this is necessary for me?" Bernard was also in a bad mood, and he retorted unceremoniously at his Tulip family.
"Hmph! In that line, is it me or in that sentence? Then I'll wait for you to give me a satisfactory answer!" The Black Iron Earl snorted noncommittally.
