Chapter 337: 161 Effective Pressure_3

"What happened?" Yang Ming’s gaze became sharper.

Lady Mag gently pressed her lips together, staring back at Yang Ming.

You’re kidding, she was an official of the Empire, how could she be overshadowed by a young officer from a vassal state?

Her confidence, her knowledge, her experience, all provided her with solid backing.

Half a minute later.

Lady Mag averted her gaze and said softly, "What happened is not important, what matters is how to solve the problem."

"No, Lady Mag," Yang Ming said unhurriedly, "Luofeng is a small country, without any dignity in front of the Sherman Empire, so we must know exactly what happened."

Lady Mag frowned deeply.

Yang Ming provided an explanation,

"In this situation, what we must do is pursue fairness, truth, and justice.

"If our Princess maliciously harmed someone, then according to Empire law, treat Emilia as an ordinary Imperial noble, let her serve her sentence and be fined as required.

"But if it was self-defense by our Princess, the Mensa family must give us an explanation.

"Princess Dana has been married into the Wind royal family for many years and holds a high reputation and influence within the royal family. She is a stepmother respected by Emperor Edwan, and a Princess beloved by the people of Wind, with Emilia regarded as a national treasure by the citizens of Wind Country.

"Their honor is extremely important to the sentiments of the people of Luofeng Empire."

Lady Mag looked troubled, "But..."

Yang Ming said, "There is no ’but’, the public opinion in our country is about to explode, I think you should already be aware."

Lady Mag nodded slightly, "I understand the pressure you are under."

Yang Ming interlocked his fingers, placed them in front of him, and leaned forward slightly,

"Lady Mag, my inquiry with you now is out of respect for you.

"This matter could greatly influence the diplomatic direction between the Luofeng Empire and the Sherman Empire.

"Because Wind is a vassal of Sherman, it has been repeatedly targeted by the New Federation.

"In the past few years, we have thwarted several offensives from the New Federation, seized international discourse rights, endured enormous economic losses, suffered direct offensives from the New Federation, and, together with the Sherman Empire Army, repelled the wicked New Federation invaders.

"This you should know all too clearly."

Lady Mag sighed lightly, "Wind is an extremely important international partner for our country."

"So, what happened?"

Yang Ming’s breathing became calm, his eyes almost spitting fire,

"I don’t want to stand before Her Highness and ask her the same question, which would likely harm her again.

"But she will tell me everything without reservation, I assure you.

"She is my student, her knight’s long sword was sharpened with my permission.

"If she made a mistake, I must bear equivalent punishment, if she was wronged, I must stand up for her and seek justice."

Lady Mag clenched her fist slightly, her eyes showing some hesitation.

Soon, she sighed and said in a low voice, "It’s the grandson of Earl Mensa... that bastard had a bit to drink and tried to molest his aunt... Princess Dana..."

Yang Ming reclined his body.

This was like a scene out of a small film...

"Details?" Yang Ming asked, "Were there others present?"

"There were two guards from the Mensa family, they detained Princess Dana and tried to force her to submit," Lady Mag said, "We will handle this matter, these two guards will be dealt with."

Dealt with?

Yang Ming squinted slightly.

Wouldn’t that Earl’s grandson use the threat of "you don’t want others to know you’re not my real aunt," to threaten Dana?

It was at this moment that Yang Ming’s watch gently vibrated, and a video popped up.

Lyu’s external assistance.

She had previously hacked into the network of the nearby Administrative Star and restored a deleted surveillance video, waiting for the right moment to give it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming played the video in front of Lady Mag and her assistant.

In the footage, two guards pushed Princess Dana, who was dressed to attend a banquet, into a bedroom and then stood guard at the bedroom door.

Soon, a young man in formal wear walked down the corridor while unbuttoning his shirt and entered the room.

The sight made the colonel behind Yang Ming’s eyes flare with anger.

In the corner of the screen, a maid hurried away.

After less than two minutes, Emilia, still wearing her Princess tiara and dress, charged through the corridor dragging a long sword, scared off the two guards with her swinging sword, and kicked open the bedroom door that wasn’t securely closed.

Lady Mag frowned, "Where did you get this video?"

"We have our intelligence channels... send the video to Emperor Edwan."

Yang Ming turned his head and said, then directed his cold eyes toward Lady Mag.

"Madam, doesn’t Empire law care about humiliating one’s aunt and committing incest?"

Lady Mag said, "This matter is difficult to handle and involves some inconvenient secrets."

"Attempting to rape a woman, does the Empire’s law not care?"

But Lady Mag said, "The influence of Earl Mensa is also a matter we must consider."

"Then the Foreign Affairs Bureau doesn’t need to intervene in the upcoming matters, Emilia was only protecting her mother, this is an humiliation the Wind royal family cannot tolerate!"

Yang Ming slammed the table and stood up.

"Due to our respect for the Emperor of the Sherman Empire, we endured the immense pressure of the New Federation, opposing the New Federation’s sanctions with the capacity of eleven Administrative Stars, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by the New Federation’s heavy artillery, and this is the treatment we’ve received in return!"

Lady Mag quickly stood up, "We must keep this matter to the smallest impact range, Princess Dana wasn’t physically harmed."

Yang Ming said, "Honor is the life of a noble! Reroute the spaceship, apply to enter the Space Port of the nearby Administrative Star, and fully arm the accompanying Royal Guard Army."

"Yes!" The colonel loudly responded.

Yang Ming dialed Edwan’s communication in front of Lady Mag, and over there, they had also watched the surveillance from the Earl’s residence.

Edwan’s expression had never been so solemn, and he began with,

"Ming, I can go to the Emperor Star at any time, seek an audience with the great Emperor of the Sherman Empire, and request him to uphold justice for us."

Lady Mag’s expression turned somewhat stiff, "Esteemed Emperor Edwan, please maintain restraint, we can offer more benefits to your country for this!"

She didn’t expect Yang Ming to stand by her side.

"Not yet needed, Your Majesty, if that’s the case, the Mensa family might be annihilated, and the Sherman Empire’s nobility might develop a significant aversion towards us."

Lady Mag breathed a sigh of relief, finding Yang Ming much more agreeable.

But her ease didn’t last half a minute.

Lady Mag was astonished, watching these two openly conspiring.

Yang Ming said, "Please allow me, Your Majesty, to defend Princess Dana’s honor and Her Highness Emilia’s reputation as a soldier."

Edwan asked, "What do you need?"

"Adjust my title to Count Wind."

"Alright, I will sign the executive order right away, what are you planning to do?"

"I’m going to challenge them to a duel! This is allowed by the Empire’s law!"

Yang Ming cursed,

"This damned Mensa family! If you’re a man, step up one by one, I’ll take them all down!"

Lady Mag’s legs felt weak, her mind buzzing with chaos.

She suddenly recalled the ’military achievements’ of the young man in front of her.

It was he who fired the first shot in Luofeng’s counterattack against the New Federation.
