William Booker was a short, fat man with a plain appearance.

Although his strength was only at the third level, he possessed extraordinary business talent - and it was precisely for this reason that he stood out among the Duke's children and became the heir to the Duke's family.

After being chosen as the heir, he learned the princess's secret from the Duke.

"Disfigured? It doesn't matter. Anyway, she just wants me to have a few children with her and give it a try. Even if she really has some talent, it may not be passed on to the children."

He didn't care whether the princess had any problems, nor did he take the task of "cultivating a powerful heir" seriously - because the head of the Booker family only needed to learn how to make money and manage others.

As for Aarons Moti, who seemed to have had an affair with the princess, there was nothing worthy of his attention.

"It's just a piece of trash that will disappear soon if left alone."

This was not only his own opinion, but also the unanimous view of the entire aristocratic circle.

Aarons Morty merely inherited the Morty surname. He himself has no value at all and can't do anything.

However, at this moment, this incompetent waste blatantly appeared on the stage——

……

"What's wrong? You are the heir of the Duke's family, but you can't even speak a word?"

"You are...Aarons Morty?"

"Watch your words! You rude idiot! I am a marquis personally appointed by the emperor. Who are you to dare to call me by my name?"

The heirs of a noble family do not have a title before they officially become the head of the family, but the children who are not heirs can obtain honorary titles.

Therefore, if an heir really encounters someone who deliberately picks on others, he can only admit that he is in the wrong.

"…Hello, Lord Marquis. What's the matter that brought you here so suddenly?"

Although Aarons showed no expression on his face, he immediately became alert in his heart.

This fat guy who is several years older than me is obviously very good at forbearance and lying dormant. This kind of flexible character... is very dangerous!

"What's the important matter? What are you doing now? Do you need me to tell you?"

"Mr. Marquis, I am holding an event here today to celebrate my engagement with Her Royal Highness the Princess. And you should have nothing to do with this, right?"

"Oh, didn't you watch the psychic live broadcast? I see, your family doesn't even have a psychic... How pitiful."

Aarons certainly understood what the other party was talking about.

Because at that time, Keliya only claimed that she was engaged to him, and there was no official document to prove their relationship. The reason why this guy dared to say such a thing was probably because he had obtained an engagement agreement that could be officially recognized.

That's why Aarons deliberately made a mockery and launched an attack from another direction.

"I don't really care about gossip, please forgive me, Your Excellency the Marquis. If you have nothing else to do, please let me continue the ceremony."

"Hehe, it seems like you are well prepared... Teacher Jiangyue."

Following Aarons' call, the purple-haired sage dressed in knight's tuxedo and the black-haired female mercenary walked onto the stage together.

After seeing the appearance of these two women who were obviously powerful, the guards behind the Duke's son immediately became nervous.

If a fight really broke out at this distance, both Aarons and the heir of the Booker family would probably die on the spot.

"Mr. William, I'm just a little curious. Since this is your engagement ceremony with Her Royal Highness the Princess, where is our heroine now?"

"Your Highness caught a cold a few days ago, so it's inconvenient for you to go out now."

"Oh, so you're planning to unilaterally declare yourself the princess' fiancé today?"

Although Aarons's sophistry was meaningless in the aristocratic circle, for ordinary people, it was indeed common sense that could not be ignored.

You said you want to get engaged to the princess, but where is the princess herself?

The princess wasn't even present, and you were able to get engaged to her just by saying a few words? Then can I just say a few words?

"In that case, I might as well make a unilateral statement here... Well, actually, I am the husband of Her Highness the Princess."

"My Lord Marquis, please be careful with your words. Her Royal Highness the Princess is a noble person, and you cannot insult her casually."

"You also know that doing this is an insult... hehe."

Although Aarons did have a smile on his face, the aura he exuded was so terrifying that it terrified the people around him.

The guards behind William Booker were so scared that they even put their hands on their weapons. After noticing their little movements, Jiangyue took out his long-handled sword from behind without hesitation.

The situation on the stage instantly became tense and ready to explode.

"Forget it. I don't want to argue with a brainless idiot like you. If you have prepared any certificates or agreements, just show them to everyone."

"Don't regret it, Marquis."

After turning his head and signaling to his subordinates, a man immediately went to the back of the stage and took out an exquisitely decorated box.

After taking the box, William Booker immediately opened it and took out an exquisite document with gold-stamped edges.

"This is the edict drafted by His Majesty himself. Do you want me to read it to the Marquis?"

"No need, Teacher Jiangyue, can you verify the authenticity of that thing?"

"Of course, please watch it."

After hearing Aarons' instructions, Jiang Yue reached into the inside pocket of her shirt and took out a badge.

And when she raised the badge, a huge royal emblem with clear pattern appeared on her hand.

"I am the imperial guard appointed by Her Highness, the Third Princess of the Empire, Claire Armand, and the Honorary Earl Zijiangyue. This is the identification mark bestowed by His Majesty himself, and it can be used to determine the authenticity of the imperial edict."

And when Jiangyue pointed the badge in her hand at the edict, the golden emblem pattern immediately turned into a warning red.

——This means that there is no emperor’s seal on the edict.

"Today's event is also being broadcast live, so I would like to ask a question on behalf of Your Majesty - what is the crime for falsely transmitting the imperial edict?"

"What nonsense... An honorary earl dares to say that he represents the princess and His Majesty? Marquis, if you continue to use these little tricks to deceive the emperor and treason to confuse the public, I will punish this evil for the empire here."

"Haha...hahahaha!"

After hearing this, Aarons couldn't help but burst out laughing - because the other party had been enduring for a long time and finally revealed a flaw.

Although William can continue to deny Aarons's statement without reason, this will also make the audience more suspicious. So in order to ensure his legitimacy in public opinion, he must make Aarons shut up as soon as possible.

"You can't find the princess, and you can't produce any evidence to disprove me. Are you going to make everyone admit that you are the princess's fiancé based on a decree that may or may not be forged and your empty words?"

When Aarons' smile gradually turned into a sneer, a silvery-white light flashed in his gray-black eyes.

And when the floating cannon behind Jiang Yue instantly left the body and aimed directly at the body of the Duke's son in the air, all the spectators present finally realized Aarons' real intention of coming here.

"What did I say last time? Since you guys dare to run into my house and make trouble, you'd better consider whether you can return alive!"

——He actually planned to kill the heir to the Duke's family in public!
