The plan was half successful, how could Aisi be willing to stop right now.
After all, the more people know about Lily seducing the crown prince, the better. She wants to make the mother and daughter suffer on their own!
So Aisi simply threw Bai Wu away and ran in on her high heels.
The moment she disappeared, the uneasiness on Bai Wu's face disappeared.
Things seemed to be going more smoothly than she imagined.
Sure enough, the next second, Aisi's extremely harsh scream came from inside.
It happened that the godfather was walking towards here with a group of nobles. Everyone heard the noise and crowded over.
Seeing Bai Wu pacing in front of the door anxiously, the godfather quickly stepped forward and said with concern:
"Oh, honey, what happened?"
Bai Wu's face was full of anxiety: "I don't know, the scream was made by my sister, she just went to the lounge."
The godfather looked solemn.
It would be bad if something happened to Duke Rhodes's daughter in the church.
So he quickly broke in with a group of people.
At that time, Resker was covering Ace's mouth to tell her not to make any sound, but it was still too late.
The embarrassed look of Lily and Celia was clearly visible to the godfather and the nobles:
"Oh my God, is this His Highness Celia? Who is the girl in his arms?"
"Duke Lesk is here too, isn't she his daughter?"
"That's definitely not the case. Don't we say that Duke Reske's daughters are the most elegant and dignified? How could they do such a thing?"
"I know her! She is Janice's daughter Lily, and she just came to my house for afternoon tea last week!"
Everyone who learned his identity was filled with contempt again. After all, the identity of the mother and daughter was not known to the public.
Lily didn't expect that the matter would be revealed and that so many people would be watching. She was immediately ashamed and annoyed, and screamed and hid in the corner of the bed.
Celia on the side also showed a rare gloomy expression and scratched her hair irritably.
Why did he suddenly lose control?
Janice came after hearing the news.
The last thing you want to see happens.
She collapsed and screamed before passing out.
The old Duke also came over with the support of Mei Lin. After seeing the unbearable scene, his face was livid with anger, and the scepter in his hand kept hammering the ground.
"Look at what this idiot has done! Take her away quickly, don't embarrass yourself here!"
"And this shameless one." The old Duke pointed at Lily angrily, "Tie her away too!"
The scene was very chaotic at one time, with Lily crying, Janice begging for mercy after waking up, and some theatergoers talking.
This was exactly what Ais wanted, and the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily.
Bai Wu, who was on the side, saw her expression and secretly moved a step back so that Mei Lin could have a good view of Aisi's successful expression from her perspective.
And Meilin did as she wished, seeing Ais' expression at this moment that was completely inconsistent with her previous image.
Combined with the even deliberate screams she just heard, a bold idea emerged in Mei Lin's mind.
But she didn't dare to think about it at the same time, so she could only stride forward and pull Aisi and Bai Wu out of the room one by one.
"Stop joining in the fun here and come home with me."
At this time, Celia slowly got up from the bed.
He didn't seem to be embarrassed by his situation. After simply dressing up, he walked to Reske and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, is that your daughter?"
Reske lowered his head: "No, she is the daughter of my subordinate sister Janis."
Celia nodded with a long "Oh", then raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Your Majesty the Duke, I believe you will handle this matter well, don't you?"
After saying that, he walked up to the crowd and slowly began to straighten his sleeves.
Only then did the Royal Knights arrive and the area was surrounded by water.
Facing those cold iron cavalry, everyone fell silent.
"Everyone." Celia spoke slowly, with a small shadow floating on her lowered eyelashes, "I don't want anyone to know about today's events in the imperial city. Please cooperate with me and leave the message in Knight Commander Dane's message.
Sign your name on the paper, if I accidentally hear any news in the future."
He put on his white gloves, raised a finger to his lips, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But extremely eerie.
"Then I'm afraid everyone here won't be able to see the sun this Christmas."
Surrounded by the knights, Celia strode out of the room, as comfortable as if nothing had happened.
However, just as he stepped out of the church, he keenly caught a young man among the crowd not far away.
The young man had snow-like silver hair, an indifferent and cold look between his eyebrows, and an even more awe-inspiring temperament. Even though he was hidden among the crowd, he noticed it at a glance.
He had only seen this kind of silver-white hair on one other person's head.
His beloved father, His Majesty Brant III.
Wrinkling her eyebrows, Celia sneered, pointed at the young man and asked Dane who was standing aside.
"Do you know who he is?
Dane glanced lightly and then lowered his head: "His Royal Highness, you are a servant of Duke Rhodes' family."
Ah, it turned out to be just a humble servant.
What a pity for such a good appearance.
But Duke Rhodes is Duke Rhodes again.
This annoying, old-fashioned neutral family has not disappeared from the imperial city?
…
…
Although Resker did a good job of keeping it secret, the news of Lily's private meeting with the Crown Prince spread throughout the streets.
While mocking the criminal for his subsequent lack of discipline, everyone was also speculating whether this Miss Lily might be the person that His Highness Celia was trying so hard to find.
But the next day, Celia came forward to clarify this point - the girl he was looking for was not Lily.
This couldn't help but set off another uproar in the imperial city.
The granddaughter of the Rhodes family actually took the initiative to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince. Her nature is no different from those of prostitutes.
The old Duke was so angry that he had Lily locked up, even if Janis begged for mercy, it was of no use.
But he knew that this would not solve the problem at all.
As a result, not only Lily and Janis will be unable to live in the Imperial City in the future.
Even his other children and granddaughters couldn't hold their heads up at all.
Miriel is such a well-behaved and sensible child, and he cannot let her future be affected by this.
So, the old Duke, who had retired for many years, once again put on his title uniform and entered the palace with the copper scepter.
Janice stayed at home uneasily all day.
As soon as the old Duke left, she hurried to Lily's room.
After not seeing her for a few days, she became extremely haggard, with anxiety written all over her face.
As soon as she saw her mother, she threw herself into Janice's arms and cried loudly.
"Mom, are all the people outside talking about me now? I don't have the face to see people, so I might as well die."
Janis hugged her daughter distressedly and also shed tears.
"Lily, don't talk nonsense. Don't worry, those people don't dare to say anything about you. As long as you become the Crown Princess, who dares to say anything wrong about you?"
Lily stopped crying and looked at her in confusion: "Mother, what do you mean?"
"Did you know? Just this morning, your grandfather has gone to the Brant Palace to meet with His Majesty. I believe it won't be long before he comes back with His Majesty's will."
"Your grandfather has made great achievements in battle, and Your Majesty will not allow you to be wronged out of consideration for his sake."
Lily felt relieved instantly.
Celia also said when she was tender with her that she would definitely marry her as the crown princess.
She believes there will be such a day.
If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if she feels a little wronged during this period.
Finally, in the evening, the old Duke came back.
There was a strange man accompanying him, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way to the living room.
With sharp eyes, Janice recognized that the extraordinary man was His Majesty's current attendant, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell.
The old Duke led the attendants to sit down in the living room. The two chatted for a long time, but they never said anything about Lily and Celia.
The longer Janis waited, the more anxious she became. Finally, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Regardless of Mei Lin's obstruction, she quickly walked up to the attendant and bowed.
"Sir, I am Lily's mother, Janis. I don't know-"
The old Duke's face suddenly darkened, he banged his cane and shouted: "Janice, what are you doing? Don't be rude."
The attendant did not show any displeasure. He smiled gently and said, "So you are Mrs. Janis."
Seeing that his attitude was quite modest, Janis's heart calmed down, and then she heard the other person say again:
"His Majesty already knows about the matter between your daughter and His Highness Celia, and has been discussing it with the old Duke for a whole day. This matter is both small and big. After all, it is related to the Brant royal family.
What do you think?"
Janice quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, this is natural."
"So madam, please tell me what happened that day."
Janis didn't expect him to ask this. After her face paled, she explained the incident intermittently.
Of course, she did not say that the encounter between Lily and Celia was artificially arranged by her.
They just briefly said that they met by chance, fell in love at first sight, and drank some wine, and then they committed a stupid thing.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the attendant's face. He crossed his legs together and leaned back on the back of the sofa, looking extremely relaxed.
But the words he spoke made everyone present freeze in place——
"But why did His Highness Celia say that your daughter Lily seduced him on her own initiative? And she also drugged his wine?"
Janis couldn't believe what she heard. She staggered on the spot and finally regained her balance.
"How, how is this possible? Your Majesty, your Excellency, did you make a mistake somewhere?"
"No, ma'am." The attendant cleared his throat, "We investigated the wine that His Highness Celia drank at that time, and there was indeed some kind of hallucinogenic drug in it. Moreover, the owner of the Colosseum also confessed to this,
He said it was you, madam, who bribed him."
These words were like a thunder in the ground, directly making Janice's head dizzy.
She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, muttering:
"How could that be? How could that be possible? I just asked him to introduce Lily, and I didn't ask him to drug her. How could that be possible?"
The old Duke's brows knitted together deeply.
He let out a long sigh, then stood up and saluted the attendant.
"Your Excellency, this matter is due to my poor discipline, which made my little girl commit such a mistake. In this regard, no matter what punishments His Majesty proposes, we will accept them one by one."
The attendant quickly stood up and helped the old Duke up.
"Old Duke, Your Majesty is aware of your character and loyalty. This matter has nothing to do with you or the Rhodes family. After all, Mrs. Janis married Friese more than ten years ago, didn't she?"
The old Duke was startled for a moment, and then he looked into the officer's eyes full of meaning.
He understands.
This is His Majesty trying to find a way out for him.
Let Janis bear the consequences alone, so that the Rhodes family can be completely isolated.
But it also means one thing - that is, Janice has nothing to do with this family anymore.
But all this was her own fault, and he had no reason to let the entire family be implicated for her.
So the old Duke focused his eyes and nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty said so."
Only then did the attendant laugh again, and then looked at Janice who was collapsed on the ground.
"Mrs. Janice, according to Brandt's law, deliberately framed the royal family will be punished by guillotine, and your behavior has also brought public opinion trouble to the royal family."
"But considering the merits of the Rhodes family, His Majesty decided to let you go."
"From now on, Lily Vitali will be exiled abroad and will not be allowed to enter Brandt's territory for the rest of her life."
"As for Janice Vitali, you will leave it entirely to the old Duke."
