Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Kael was unfazed by such things; there were too many of them. If he took every one seriously, he felt he’d be annoyed to death.

Soon, as the iron gates on both sides were pulled open, several different individuals were brought to either side of the courtroom.

To the left stood the accused, to the right were the plaintiffs and victims. Of course, once the plaintiffs and their witnesses had assembled, Kael rose and made his way to the stand.

Yes, he was also one of the plaintiffs today.

With several members of the Noble Council of high aristocracy settled in their seats, soon the noble in the very center began to announce the various circumstances of the investigation.

It was essentially a declaration of the details related to the investigation concerning the dispatch of personnel to the tribes by Wels and the hiring of barbarians to attack Lancaster Territory.

Throughout this, Wels, standing to one side, did not speak from beginning to end, neither rebutting nor admitting anything.

After the Noble Council had finished reading the related findings, Sack, the representative from the Florence Chamber of Commerce standing beside Wels, indifferently said:

"Concerning this matter, I acknowledge that the basic facts are true.

The Florence Chamber of Commerce chose a wrong path in order to garner more sponsorship and support from other magnates.

Subsequently, it lured Wels with high prices, proactively borrowing its own assets to provide channels of support for this personnel movement.

For this, I, Sack, confess without denial."

Watching this group of people making up stories in the dock, the dissatisfied Fish muttered, "They really can spout any nonsense."

Nan Ke rubbed his head, also looking unhappy, "These NPCs’ ability to spout nonsense with their eyes open is really strong. Aren’t they afraid of the repercussions if they provoke someone they can’t afford to?"

Sister Astate sneered mockingly:

"What trouble could they face? If they ever encountered someone more powerful than themselves, their attitude wouldn’t be like this. They’d have already been groveling on the floor begging for forgiveness; such is the inherent compromise in noble politics."

They turned their eyes to the plaintiff’s seat on the side, where Kael said with a flat tone:

"Respected members of the Noble Council, there also sits a noble on the plaintiff’s side now.

This noble, after inheriting his father’s title, not only refrained from misusing noble powers and committed no wrongdoing, but he is also an excellent border lord.

Lancaster Territory is the only among the emerging nobility that has completed the first dungeon assault and successfully opened the first stage of the second dungeon.

The Noble Council investigated thoroughly and found no issues with me, and since I inherited my father’s title, not a single matter I’ve dealt with has been protested after being investigated by a Federation secret agent.

Until now, there has been no objection from the council regarding my inheritance of my father’s title; therefore, I am still an emerging noble, the border lord of Lancaster Territory.

I believe this matter would be recognized by the nobility anywhere and I would be regarded as a qualified border lord.

But the current situation is that I have been threatened not just once from the outside.

The investigation of the Noble Council has adequately proved that within my territory, I have indeed suffered fatal attacks arranged by others.

I will make a few brief, supplementary points here.

First, from the perspective of the elements required for a crime, I, Baron Helois, have not committed any actions that break the noble code.

Second, there is also the factual existence of major personal and property losses, which are elements of a crime, and even the results from the first round of the council’s deliberation clearly affirmed that I have been personally threatened.

Third, there is no evidence to prove that our defendant Wels did not commit the crime intentionally.

In terms of criminal activity, the proceedings of Wels and Mr. Sack’s planned case do not conform to the council’s procedures, and the judgment is erroneous, with Mr. Sack’s admitted facts being unfounded.

Now, the overturning of the second trial has dismissed the numerous pieces of evidence we presented in the first trial; the core problem is that persons who are not nobles have not assumed critical responsibility.

Gentlemen, let me restate a fact once more, the attack is certain, but the reasons given by Mr. Sack are unreasonable.

If what he said were true, then the ones standing here now should not be just Sack and Wels; there must be other noble members involved in making the fatal decision, but clearly, they are not present.

I would like to know which piece of evidence proves that it was the magnate nobles who used the Florence Chamber of Commerce, forcing Mr. Sack to make a move against a young lord with whom he had no association whatsoever to obtain further benefits.

How can you say that it was Mr. Sack who made such a choice? Following this logic, the hat of murder could be placed on the head of any party." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kael’s speech sparked a buzz among the attendees.

The council members above showed looks of admiration; truly a descendent of the Charles family, clear and logical.

Regrettably, he was still too young; it was impossible for Earl Campbell’s side to leave such an obvious loophole.

As expected, after Kael finished his statement, Sack revealed a radiant expression and then said:

"I, Baron Helois, offer my sincere apologies for the error we have caused this time.

In light of this matter being impossible to conceal any longer, I contacted the magnate who had presented this proposal to me. He expressed his willingness to accept punishment and volunteered to come forward and disclose the truth."
