The Villainess is Changing Her Role to a BroCon
Lawyers know.
Unconsciously, Ekaterina is gripping her brother's sleeve.
This is it! The root of Novadyne's leeway!
I thought maybe you were trying to make Miss Keira the Duchess. I thought it was a strange attitude.
This is why. Even if I didn't flatter your brother, I'd already got a trump card from my father and Baba that would make Miss Keira the Duchess. So with that much in our face, we welcomed your brother at Eurnova Castle.
And yet, this.
It's like, a crime scene in the game.
No way, no way, the effect of the game not going according to the scenario? Is this where the ruin flag came in?
Ekaterina, are you okay?
"Yes, brother"
She looks worried and Ekaterina returns to me. You shouldn't, you have to hold on.
"Dear Alexei!
Keira raised her voice like she was in a hurry.
Alexei turns her gaze at something different than what is meant for her sister. Keira sparkled her face as she looked sincerely happy that she didn't even notice how cold it was.
"Dear Alexei,"
Is it a mother concession, I still get a brilliant kneeling. And Keira, smiling, gave Alexei her hand.
"Me, glad to finally be able to stand next to you! I won't leave you alone anymore. I'll always be there for you! My father and mother both want to be supportive of Master Alexei. Even though you're in law, you're going to be a parent.
You don't have to worry about territory with a tough face, like that anymore. My father will take care of everything. Like your father, Lord Alexandre, Alexei is able to enjoy the days and live. I've always dreamed of this day to set you free!
... In his brother's arms, Ekaterina can't stop his eyebrows from clinging.
Uh, vertical roll.
You've really been thinking that, haven't you? If you marry your brother and Novadyne's old man takes over Yurnova, he'll make you happy.
Wow, wow.
But... think about it, maybe it's natural. Because this child is only a child. If it was the child's idea, it would have seemed like a happy man, not to mention his father, who lived in a glorious play with his knowledge of both responsibilities and duties.
I'm not saying that my brother, who has been responsible since he was a child, was happy. Beyond your brother's responsibilities, however, is the life of a number of inhabitants, which depends on the happiness and unhappiness of a number of lives. Your brother understands that. Yet you abandon it and be happy?
Vertical Roll, you can't possibly understand that, you explained your responsibilities, laughing with your nose. I usually feel like I was fifteen in my previous life.
Oh, but this kid, he was no better than fifteen in his previous life. He was a kid wearing a noble identity and looking down on civilians.
Local villain, miss. When a villain warrant lady does something flashy like this, she doesn't get caught in the dark.
Because - brother, you're very calm.
Alexei stroked her sister's hair and smiled to reassure her.
"Ekaterina, will you wait a moment?"
"Yes, brother"
When Ekaterina let go of her sleeve, Alexei looked up at Novadyne. Sharp as a shot through, neon blue gaze.
Both the hand Keira offered and Keira herself passed beside it in complete silence, and Alexei looked directly down at Novadyne.
"Give me a letter."
"Ha..."
Alexei revealed the contents of the seal when Novadyne, who was frivolous, received it unexpectedly, and so forth.
One nod with a chilling look.
And I looked over into the great hall and called.
"Daniel, is Daniel Legal here?"
There is only a few moments, and the response returns.
"Yes, my lord. Daniel Legal, in front of you."
The people in the great hall make their way. It was the legal adviser to the Duke of Yurnova family that emerged from it, like a flower path. A young man with an impressive silver edge glasses, however intelligent in appearance. Hair color is gray and plain, but the eyes behind the glasses have a bright emerald color. Thirty years old there, too young as a lawmaker, seemed to have a sharp light in his jade eyes.
And in my mouth, I have a mundane grin, as if I were going to enjoy this different situation.
"Check the contents and explain to them"
"Yes, my lord"
Daniel quickly revealed the contents of the letter he received from Alexei.
And when I laughed, I said in a voice that sounded good.
"Under the laws of the Empire, this writ will not result in your engagement. From a legal point of view, this letter has no special significance"
And the men of the great hall turned again.
"And rude!
Novadyne turns his face bright red.
"Doesn't make sense? Don't be stupid! The former Duke, it's an autograph of Lord Alexandre. There's also a public mark!
"Yes, that's right"
Daniel pressed up his glasses and laughed at the garlic.
"As you said, the handwriting can be seen as Lord Alexandre's.
But the seal being pressed here is the personal seal of Lord Alexandre. It is not the seal of the House of the Duke of Eurnova. Same goes for Alexandra's seal.
A leading aristocratic marriage is a contract between home and home. So it is stipulated in the imperial matrimonial law that an engagement or marriage writ requires the signature of both households and the signature of both householders. The signature of the former Duke and his mother did not meet the requirements. "
The lawyer explains the handwriting, the seal, and the fingertips of the letter to Novadyne. People in the Great Hall admire every word of it, like, oh, yeah, etc.
That's just a lawyer used to court controversy. The beating tone was very convincing.
"So shut up! Whatever the law, Lord Alexandre writes in this letter that Keira is to be the fiancée of his son Alexei. You think I can forgive you for taking your will lightly?
In the words of Novadyne, the blurring that bewildered the Great Hall fills.
Daniel nodded with a sincere look.
"Allowed. It would be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor to assume that His Excellency Alexei's engagement has been entered into in this writ."
Well, people groan.
"Because the engagement and marriage of the principals and heirs of the three Grand Dukes requires the permission of His Majesty the Emperor. This has also been laid down by law since the founding of the country.
In the presence of Lord Alexandre, if His Excellency Alexei's engagement is in place, he will be regarded as whilst at the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor. In the past, in fact, even the Duke's family, who tried to enter into an engagement without the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, was severely reprimanded and discreetly punished. It was about two hundred years ago, so you don't have to know - oh, you seem to know a lot.
Therefore, unless it is His Majesty's name here, I cannot say that His Excellency Alexei's engagement is in order. You can't say that. "
Novadyne bared her voice in a wandering manner.
"A... Lady Alexandra is the Empress. There is the seal of Alexandra, Your Majesty, the Emperor deserves to be judged!
"No, the Duchess is the Duchess of Alexandra more than he was descended to the Duke's house. It is established by the laws of the Empire that he is not a member of the Imperial Family but a subordinate."
"So shut up! Whatever the law may be, it is true that Lord Alexandre and Lady Alexandra wanted Keira by the Duchess! If Lord Vassily's letter of authorization is to be respected, the will of his father, Lord Alexandre, should be weighed even more!
"Did you really want that?"
Daniel's tone was quiet... and therefore disturbing.
