Listening to the commotion around them, the ugliest people present were the eldest prince and Narant.
There is no need for the eldest prince to say much.
Nalant's face turned ugly because he felt several unfriendly glances.
For example, the eldest prince’s gaze… Stella’s gaze… the count’s gaze…
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 stayed in the room for more than twenty minutes!"
"After that, Narant left the room and returned to the hall, and I only returned to the hall after he left. Sir Narant was already in the hall by that time!"
"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 glanced around, they did not see the person asking the question. 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.
"His grandmother, this woman is trying to trick me!" Narant's face suddenly turned green.
Natasha might as well not have answered. With her sweet smile, the nobles around her suddenly began to think wildly.
The eldest prince's eyes almost popped out of his head 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 that during the time he left the hall, there was no chance to kill him.
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.
But the identity of the eldest granddaughter of the Frank family is no worse than that of any of the earl heirs present. If she is willing to testify for Nalant, then it really will not be possible to prove Nalant's murder.
After all, Natasha's testimony is relatively credible.
Because there is no reason for Natasha to perjure herself for a little knight and then fight against the Black Iron Family.
An earl family and a knight lord, obviously anyone in the Frank family would know which one is more important as long as they have some brains.
"Butler Carol!"
"Sir, the villain is here!"
"Call all the servants who will be 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 the crucial information is about the maid.
Soon, the Tulip Castle butler called over all the male and female servants responsible for tonight's banquet service. There were more than fifty people in total, including the servants greeting guests outside the banquet hall.
After the servants stood up, Narant looked at them one by one without Bernard's instructions.
"My lord, the maid is not here!" Nalant said.
Bernard heard this and looked at the housekeeper again.
The housekeeper asked a few questions to the head maid and got the answer quickly.
"Your Majesty, a maid named Kathy is missing!" The butler answered truthfully, paused, and said with some embarrassment: "This Kathy has only been in the castle for half a day..."
"Huh?" Lord Count raised his eyebrows.
"My lord, the head maid said that this maid was arranged by Lord Aldin!"
brush!
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Aldin.
Aldin had no sense of presence tonight. Now that everyone was watching him, Aldin's face turned as white as paper.
"Earl... Lord Earl, this is none of my business. I just want him to frame Nalant for molesting that maid!"
"I did not assign this maid to kill Baron Quint, and I don't know why Baron Quint was killed!"
How could Aldin still have the majesty of a viscount? If he didn't handle it well this time, his brother would probably end his relationship out of justice.
This is different from doing small tricks and applying eye drops to Narant and others.
Arranging for someone with ulterior motives to enter the castle, resulting in the murder of an earl's heir, which was enough for him to drink a pot.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly, where did that maid come from!" Bernard's tone turned cold, and it was obvious that he was really angry.
Tulip Castle is his hometown, and it is Quint who is dead now, but what if one day, someone wants to do harm to him or Stella?
"My Lord Count, this is all Valad's idea..."
Next, Aldin began to tell.
It turned out that this afternoon, Valad took the initiative to find him and discuss dealing with Narant.
Valad's proposal was to deliberately send a maid to seduce Narant, and then falsely accuse Narant of molestation after they had sex.
When there are 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. Not to mention the small risk, although it would not kill Nalant, it would still ruin his reputation.
But there is a problem here, 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, saying that he would use the maid in his manor to do this, and Aldin only needed to find a way to arrange for the maid to come in.
When it comes to arranging for a maid to enter the castle, as the earl's biological brother, Aldin is naturally able to do it.
She made up the identity of her 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, and now Aldin actually wants to destroy him and even provoke him.
This series of turmoil came.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Go and send someone to call me Valad!"
"In addition, dispatch all the guards, including the Tulip Knights, to conduct a search and 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.
Now that the nobles have not left, it is impossible for the maid to leave the count's castle. This is also a preparation made by the nobles to prevent danger in the castle during major festivals.
As long as the banquet is not over and the ban order is lifted, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Even if the noble wanted to leave, he would need the earl's order or the castle steward's permission. The maid would definitely not be able to leave.
Seeing this, Nalant gave some instructions to Shirley, then found an excuse to talk to the Earl, and then Shirley went to the welcoming building under the protection of several guards.
…
After waiting in this hall for more than twenty minutes, the news of finding the maid has not yet come, but the guards who went to find Sir Valad returned first.
A deputy commander of the Tulip Knights hurried to the hall and whispered a few words in Bernard's ear.
In an instant, everyone saw Bernard's face turn livid.
"Bernard, how are you?" Earl Black Iron looked at Bernard doubtfully.
"My guards reported that Valad is also dead! Just now, he was poisoned and died in the manor!"
"Ah! Sir Valad is dead too? What's going on?"
The nobles present were in an uproar.
I originally thought that tonight's incident was just the simplest vendetta, but things changed again and again, and now it seems to be an elaborate conspiracy.
"Bernard, are you trying to fool me on purpose?" The Black Iron Earl was a little doubtful.
"Carman, do you think I need to do this?" Bernard was also in a bad mood. He felt that someone was targeting his Tulip family, so he retorted unceremoniously.
"Hmph! That's okay, I'll keep saying the same thing, then I'll wait for you to give me a satisfactory answer!" The Black Iron Earl snorted coldly without comment.
