The palace steward's final emphasis contained a vague hint of threat.
Musk suddenly felt his scalp numb.
The most difficult lawsuits in the world are palace disputes.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I took on this job. What's even more troublesome is that the client's background is so great that I have no room to refuse.
After calming down, the young judicial knight had to face the reality and asked the palace steward who Adam Rulf was and how he dared to slander the queen.
After some conversation, Musk figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and it was so bloody that he couldn't laugh or cry.
This dispute originated from a man falling in love with a woman he shouldn't have loved.
The male protagonist of the incident, Adam Rulf, is no ordinary person, but a famous dragon-slaying hero in the Aquamarine Kingdom!
At a palace ball six months ago, Adam Rulf was warmly entertained by the queen. Perhaps because the reception was too cordial, it aroused his unrealistic delusions, and he fell in love at first sight with the beautiful and noble Borja.
Back home, Rolf still couldn't forget the goddess in his dream, so he wrote a love poem. In the poem, he called himself the legendary warrior Lancelot, and compared his beloved queen to Lancelot's spirit.
Lover, Queen Guinevere, hints of love.
After delivering this love letter that filled his heart with expectations, what he received was a bucket of cold water poured down on him.
Polgar wrote back and declined his advances, which hurt the pride of Adam Rulf.
Later, he heard that the queen's favorite court poet Giuliano Medici, who was born in a noble family, went to find Lord Giuliano, showed him the love letter he wrote to the queen, and asked him why the queen had so much faith in this song.
Love poems about lovesickness, expressed so coldly
Giuliano read his love poem, laughed, and found many grammatical and rhetorical errors.
One of the most serious mistakes is the inappropriate metaphor, comparing the queen to a beauty who brought disaster to the country and the people, and comparing herself to a rebellious minister who was so carried away by love that he eventually betrayed the monarch.
"After reading this poem, the queen may suspect that you are mocking her. It would be strange not to be angry!"
Giuliano, who was known for his venomous tongue, even ridiculed Rolf in person. He clearly lacked literary talent and imitated others in writing poems to express his feelings. He was so ignorant.
Speaking of this, Rulf was already filled with anger.
Giuliano kept talking, took out a love poem he had written, read it to Rulfe, and said that the poem had been appreciated by the queen.
Finally, Giuliano declared smugly that the queen admired talented people like him who were literary and elegant, and had no interest in some reckless men who could only wield swords and fight bravely.
This made the "dragon-slaying hero" furious. He rushed up, grabbed the poet who was boasting, and beat him severely.
If someone hadn't stopped him, I would have beaten that pretty boy to death on the spot!
This is a big disaster!
Although Rolf was born into a noble family, he was not considered prominent in the upper class circles. Giuliano was the son of the Medici family, one of the most famous families in Hailan. The current Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the Cardinal Archbishop were both his uncles. How could he just give up?
Rolf also knew that he was in big trouble, so he did nothing but took the initiative and revealed to his friends in the press that Queen Polgar had cheated on her and that her lover was Giuliano.
As for the evidence, it's the poem written by Giuliano.
The gossip tabloids in Patus have reprinted this bad news one after another. Although they dare not directly name the person involved, even the common people are aware of who the "pen-wielding playboy" and "the most noble lady" refer to.
Countless.
The scandal became more and more sinister as it spread. Lord Giuliano was beaten and even accused by a bad person first. How could he bear this tone? He quickly published a newspaper to clarify the truth, pointed out that Rulfe had framed him, and even wrote Rulfe's letter to the queen.
The poem was published, showing that he was jealous of his failed courtship and slandered the queen's reputation.
On the other side of the public opinion war, Rulf immediately responded, pointing out that his poem only expressed lofty spiritual love, did not involve any blasphemous thoughts, and was completely in line with the classical knightly virtues.
On the other hand, Giuliano's poems are full of provocative meanings, with many descriptions of the lover's body, and the wording is ambiguous and almost pornographic.
Comparing these two poems together, it is clear which one is more obscene.
Good guy, it turns out you both did it!
Now the melon-eaters who were watching the excitement were so happy!
Originally thought to be a royal scandal, it has now developed into a love triangle, and the drama is becoming more and more interesting.
In fact, this is not just a "love triangle", don't forget that there is also a King with a green light shining from his head!
In Aquamarine Capital, which has a relatively open social atmosphere, especially in the upper class society, it is not a big deal for a couple to have a confidant or even a lover. In most cases, it will not escalate to the point of forcing a divorce.
However, the king and queen are the face of the country after all. At least publicly, they must set an example, show respect for traditional religion and ethics, and show loyalty between husband and wife.
Therefore, even if the king and queen are not in love, divorce is absolutely not allowed unless they can get the church talker.
King Constantine V and Queen Polga have been married for 20 years and have given birth to four children in total. It should be said that they have a good relationship, but no matter how good the relationship is, they cannot withstand the instigation of gossip. Faced with the pressure of public opinion, the king cannot help but treat the queen
Suspicions arose and the relationship became increasingly cold.
Rolf added fuel to the fire and proposed to Giuliano to resolve their dispute through a judicial duel.
Giuliano was just a poet, so he couldn't dare to duel with Rolf, the famous "dragon-slaying hero", so he had to hide and pretend to be dead.
He did not dare to take the initiative, so he lost the initiative in public opinion, his reputation plummeted, and Rulf's supporters had an overwhelming upper hand.
Although the authorities have explicitly banned public reporting of this scandal, which has brought shame to the royal family, it cannot stop people's burning spirit of gossip, and the rumors about Giuliano and Queen Polgar are becoming more and more outrageous.
This farce continues to this day, and the scandal continues unabated. Not only is the queen herself troubled by rumors, but even her children are suspected to not be the biological flesh and blood of His Majesty the King.
Under this situation, Queen Polgar finally couldn't bear it anymore and swore in the name of the Lord that there was absolutely no relationship between herself, Lord Giuliano and Adam Rulf that was against women's ethics, and she demanded a public apology from Adam Rulf.
To restore her reputation, if he refuses to clarify the truth, the Queen will hire a dueling attorney to seek justice for herself.
