Chapter 795: Chapter 309: I Choose Austin, for He Is the People’s Choice_2

Wayne chuckled, "I won’t go into specifics, but during my slumber in the Grand Cemetery of the West District, I heard quite a bit of gossip about the Queen and Mr. Austin carrying on an affair."

"These troublemakers dare say anything when they’re visiting graves, about the Queen and Austin exchanging secrets, how Austin’s good at reading people and smoothing things over, all while appearing clueless. I’m too embarrassed to even listen to that; it’s both highbrow and lowbrow, so let’s not emphasize that here."

Wayne wanted to say something more, but stopped himself when he saw Hefei’s smile stiffen, making the rational choice to end the conversation.

He then said, "As you can see, I am a skeleton, not understanding the joy of love between men and women. Death grants me eternal peace, I do not think, nor will I try."

"Sound reasoning!" Philomena nodded in agreement.

"But I can understand the Prince, he is a man of status, standing in his position, he cannot tolerate his wife having an unclear relationship with a subject..."

"Even if seven out of ten rumors are indeed false, even if the Queen and Austin were indeed lovers in the past, these rumors didn’t emerge from a vacuum, there indeed have been facts that displeased the Prince."

"Knight Lord!"

Douglas, his face darkening, interrupted. He was grateful to the Death Knight for speaking up for him, hitting right at his heart.

But too many unrelated remarks had been made, not just hitting the heart but piercing the lungs.

"I’m sorry, Prince, you know, I need to disclose your identity as the wronged party before I can clear your name," Wayne apologized briefly, then continued, "So, it’s reasonable for the Prince to be displeased with Austin; it has nothing to do with loyalty, nor with politics, purely a personal grudge."

Douglas: "..."

Are you sure that’s clearing my name, not repeatedly whipping the corpse?

"The Prince has his difficulties, and the Queen has her troubles, after all, Austin is so outstanding, making the Prince seem ordinary."

"..." xN

The Death Knight kept flipping the narrative, one second defending the Prince, the next stabbing him in the back; no one knew what he truly meant, except for Austin.

"The Prince is not wrong, Austin is not wrong, and the Queen is even less at fault. The situation has escalated to this point simply because the power of the Royal Family has grown step by step, leaving the Randao Family with no room for resistance, which is why Austin couldn’t remain loyal."

Wayne pointed his fingers, shaped like a sword, at Austin, "Your mistake lies in your own weakness. With the Royal Family powerful and the Prince having a say, no matter what you do, you can’t be loyal."

Having said this, Wayne cocked his head to look at Austin, hoping Austin would brace himself. The history books of his homeland were long, and there were many anecdotes of harmony between sovereigns and subjects, and there was a candid proverb he always believed in.

"Shang Yang knows the strength of horses, Bi Gan understands people’s hearts."

As they say, ’when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked’; being a lapdog for others never ends well!

"Austin is passionate and righteous, and because he is weak, the Randao Family is bullied. That’s the truth!"

Saying this, Wayne led the applause.

The effect was mediocre; except for Austin, who trembled with anger, no one else made a move.

Philomena blinked, chuckling as she watched the turn of events, thinking to herself how interesting it was.

The Tulip Family collectively remained silent, with Sophie and Douglas frowning without a word, especially Douglas, who already regretted letting the Death Knight speak.

He knew all too well that after tonight, the members of the Tulip Family would spread what kind of rumors.

Angry yet somehow looking forward to it, he wondered how these fools would spin it.

Better make it a good one!

Unable to deal with the Death Knight, they would still have to deal with you!

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever considered, if the balance of power was reversed and the Randao Family’s influence suddenly surpassed that of the Royal Family, who would then be in the wrong?" Wayne asked loudly.

The topic was too slippery; no one dared to speak, only daring to think about it silently.

"Knight Lord, this is the banquet hall of the Magical Department Headquarters, it’s not suitable for philosophical discussions," Austin said sternly.

At that moment, his countenance was dark, his aura as if attending a funeral, and Hefei almost thought he was going to transform into a Dark Knight.

"There’s no philosophy here, this is a very realistic topic," Wayne said, ignoring Austin’s look, and continued, "Because the Randao Family is weak, Austin is wrong, and even if he doesn’t want to rebel, he has to bear the reputation of rebellion."

"Similarly, if the Randao Family becomes strong, then Austin would be right, and the wrong one can only be the Royal Family, the Prince who doesn’t appreciate what’s good!"

"The Randao Family wishes to offer loyalty, but the Prince leads the rebellion, insisting on handing the crown to the Randao Family!"

Wow!

The Tulip Family members were nearly scared to death by the Death Knight’s blunt words; the words were not false, but was it really appropriate to say them so openly, endangering the alliance?

"Compared to the cold-hearted Royal Family that discards after use, I admire a King like Austin, who is filled with passion and loyalty!"

"Kekekekeke———"

While speaking, Wayne had moved in front of Austin, extending his hand into the void, pulling out Shadowmare and swiftly positioning it at Austin’s throat.

Philomena was shocked, raising her hand to intervene.

But she couldn’t raise it; Hefei held her down.

What are you doing, he’s your husband, can you be so heartless?

Philomena’s eyes widened, not understanding what Hefei was doing, but she soon caught on.

"See, Mr. Austin is not only passionate and righteous, but also brave and strategic, Shadowmare at his throat without changing his expression; who here can do that?" Wayne sheathed his Knight’s Sword and asked loudly.

Austin: Your mother could.
