"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Little Nalant will definitely not do this!" Before Nalant could speak, Andrew also squeezed through the crowd and came to Nalant with a face on his face.
His nervousness was clearly visible.
"Andrew, don't worry first. If it's really not Nalant who did it, I will naturally find out!"
In fact, the earl also noticed something fishy. Judging from the cleverness Nalant has shown these days, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing.
Even if the dark creature invaded and killed Quint last time, it would be better than killing Quint in his own Tulip Castle now.
However, now such obvious evidence points to Narant, so Narant has to be questioned as the first suspect.
"Father, don't worry, I didn't kill Quint! Let the earl ask first!"
Nalant comforted Andrew, then took Andrew aside, and came to the Earl himself.
"Lord Earl, this badge does belong to me!"
Wow!
"Is it really Sir Narante?"
"Sir Nalant shouldn't be so stupid. This can easily lead to a fight between the two counts!"
"Who knows? I just saw Nalant and left the hall. I don't know where he went. It might really be him! After all, without this noble badge, others may not be able to find him!"
After hearing Nalant's first answer, the nobles started talking about it.
Of course, there are various speculations, and there are many people who hope that the murderer is really Narant!
"Bernard, what else do you have to say now? This kid has already admitted it!" The Black Iron Count immediately became furious, especially when he heard from the crowd that Nalant had just left the hall.
"Count Carman, I said I would explain it to you! But now, let me finish asking the question first!" Bernard was expressionless, and then continued to Narant: "Narant, that's
Didn't you kill Baron Quint?"
"Lord Earl, although my badge appeared in Quint's room, I did not kill him. Someone must be framing me!"
"Tell me, why do you think someone has framed you?" Bernard looked closely into Nalant's eyes.
"Your Majesty, this starts from the previous ball! At the ball, I just finished dancing with this lady. When I was returning to the long table, a maid carrying a tray accidentally bumped into me and knocked me down.
A drink was spilled on me!"
"Immediately, under the leadership of this maid, I went to the guest room on the second floor to change into a dress. The dress I am wearing now was changed into a guest room on the second floor!"
"After I changed into my original dress, the maid took it away directly. The badge was on that dress at the time!"
"When I realized it, the maid was gone, so my badge must have been placed in Quint's guest room by someone with intentions after that, trying to frame me!"
"Boy, you are just telling the truth, and you actually went to the guest room on the second floor. This is obviously the time for you to commit murder!"
Bernard ignored Earl Black Iron's question to Nalant and looked directly at the noble lady who had danced with Nalant for the last time.
"Whose daughter are you? Is what Nalant said just now true?"
"My lord, my name is Naka, and my father is Coles Boothby. What Sir Nalant just said, I can testify that it is true!"
"The maid spilled some wine on Sir Narante's dress, but Sir Narante was kind enough not to blame her!"
"The maid said that in order to thank Sir Narante for his kindness, she took Sir Narante to change his dress!"
The noble lady who was asked by Bernard mustered up the courage to speak. She naturally did not believe that Nalant would kill someone.
Narant is such a handsome and gentleman person!
"Then did you follow Nalant to change the dress?" Black Iron Earl Karman interrupted and asked.
"That's not true. I'm waiting for Sir Narante in the hall, but I believe Sir Narante won't kill anyone!" the girl answered truthfully.
"Bernard, even if what this kid said before at the banquet is true, this may be an excuse for him to find a reason to leave! This girl also said that she didn't know what happened after that!" Earl Black Iron said gloomily.
Face, immediately questioned.
"Count Bernard, Count Carman, I do remember that it seems that he came back not long ago. He only returned to the hall a few minutes before the servant came to report that Baron Quint was killed!
"The Black Iron Earl had just finished speaking, but the second prince on the side gave a faint reminder.
Faced with these doubts, Bernard naturally had to ask clearly, "Narant, how long did it take you from leaving the banquet to returning to the dance?"
"About half an hour!" Nalant estimated the time and said.
It took five or six minutes to change clothes, and then it took more than 20 minutes to talk to Natasha and sign the contract. Plus a few minutes of walking in the corridor, half an hour was definitely worth it.
"Half an hour?"
"Narant, apart from changing your dress, what else did you do during this period?"
Upon hearing this question, Nalant fell silent and glanced at Natasha in the crowd not far away.
This is really a difficult multiple-choice question.
Let’s face it, when a man and a woman live together in the same room, it will inevitably make people daydream about it.
Although compared to proving her innocence, it is nothing to damage the reputation of this witch, but Nalant felt that the eldest prince who was standing attentively next to Natasha to watch the show might be targeting him again.
I just offended the second prince, and now I offend the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is the future heir to the throne. This is simply a crime...
"Boy, you continue to quibble!" The pressure on the Black Iron Earl gradually rose.
Bernard also frowned slightly.
"I happened to meet a friend later and chatted with her for a while!" Narant said helplessly.
"What friend?" Bernard frowned even more. At this time, Nalant should have produced all the favorable evidence to get rid of the suspicion. Why was he still hesitant? It made it look like he was covering up.
"it's me!"
"After Narant changed his dress, I invited him to my room to chat!" However, at this moment, Natasha's voice sounded directly, and then she slowly walked towards the venue.
.
Wow!
"Narant was invited to the room by Miss Natasha to chat!"
"I remember that Natasha and Sir Narant don't seem to be familiar with each other, right? What can we talk about? It is said that Sir Narant went there for more than half an hour, and it took at most five or six minutes to change the dress. Wouldn't the remaining time be..."
"Tsk, tsk, Sir Nalant's romantic affair will definitely resound throughout the Agate Principality! Just count the numbers. At today's banquet, in addition to Miss Stella, Nalant just danced with five noble ladies, and then entered this beauty.
'Chatting' in the room of the gorgeous Miss Natasha..."
"Sir, how come you remember so clearly? You have even counted how many people Sir Narante danced with?"
"Ahem... I just admire Sir Nalant a little, so I paid more attention to him for a while... Don't think about it, this is not because of jealousy..."
At this time, the surrounding area was exploding.
What was originally a murder case immediately turned into gossip.
