Chapter 694 - Evidence?
Chapter 694 - Evidence?
The Gustav's all looked at Lucy and scoffed.
Without any proof, there would never be a clear winner in this matter.
Sure!
The royals could just convict them on the spot.
But Baymard was a place like no other that valued justice, rights and freedom.
So convicting them when they didn't actively confess might only backlash on them later on.
There needed to be hard evidence and not just vocal evidence in this matter.
Of course, the Gustavs had done their own fair share of research on Baymard, so they were very clear about their rights to even drag Lucy to court and defame her if they wanted to.
After all, all they needed to do was cry, shed some crocodile tears, even refuse to eat and do other things that women typically did to get away with sh**!
It had been a skill that noblewomen throughout the Pyno continent could do.
All they had to do was act pitiful just to garner pity and empathy from others, and just like that... they had successfully framed their enemies.
So of course the Gustavs knew that if they relied on this skill alone, they would always have a few supporters in the crowd who would pity them and might also stick up for them too.
And since Baymard liked justice so much, they could even manipulate these simple-minded people to fight for them too.
Hehhehehe... the press would definitely want to hear their side of the story.
So no matter how they looked at it, without any solid evidence, who could tell them that they were wrong?
But of course, they were sincerely mistaken if they thought that no one would be able to find evidence about the matter.
If police inspectors and forensics were here, they would be able to find several clues and even guess the walking paths and steps that some of them had taken.
From the way the heels of their shoes dug into the grass, to the rumbles of Lucy's dress around the knee region that had dirt and plant pollen which indicated that she had been kneeling, to the fact that Gustav's white gloves had pale powdery makeup on it and a bit of lipstick which matched Lucy's facial powder indicating that he had grabbed Lucy's face harshly, to the fact that some of the tableware that been thrown in about of rage to other things... the clues would all be there if the inspectors came here immediately.
In fact, the Gustav's had left too many clues on them that would make the inspectors chuckle if they knew what these people were thinking about.
No physical evidence?
Please!
This was Baymard alright?
For sure, calling the inspectors didn't seem necessary because Lucy had something else up her sleeve.
As for the ignorant Gustav family, they all looked at Lucy victoriously when they heard Mother Kim asking for more evidence.
Heh!
They've won!
Or so they thought.
.
"Well princess Lucy, do you have any other evidence that would solidify your claim against your family other than witnesses?"
"Yes Queen Mother, I do!
But sadly, I can't present it right now."
"Oh?
Then how long do you need before you can present it?"
"3 days Queen mother."
"Hmm...
If that's the case, then I'll give you 3 days to get everything ready and present it to myself and his majesty Landon Barn."
"Thank you, queen mother."
"Okay, okay, before then, this matter must be kept a secret between us all.
Without any evidence, accusing each other will be seen as a crime is that understood?"
"Yes, queen mother!" The Gustavs answered merrily.
For them, Lucy was just stalling in attempts to find a solution to the matter.
They all felt that when she would be at the end of her rope, she would then secretly come to them and bribe them to drop the matter.
After all, Queen mother Kim seemed disappointed in Lucy, as she had been talking to them in a gentler tone compared to when she spoke to Lucy.
And seeing as his majesty was also quiet as well, he too might be dissatisfied with this fiancee of his.
Hehehehehehe!
But now that things had come to this stage, how could they back down?
Even if Lucy begged them, they would never agree to her request and shamelessly drag the b**ch away from Baymard.
The Gustav family gave out real smiles this time, as they planned to enjoy these 3 days even more.
In their minds, that was the decline for them to take down Lucy and finally become official royals!
.
Of course seeing the 'disappointed' Landon, Debbie and Praila continuously gave shy expressions towards Landon.
How could they let this moment pass?
This was the time to let him know that they were real women of substance!
Not that disease-carrying dog who called herself Lucy!
They displayed their bodies in full view and shook their bodies severally to make their 'goods' jiggle.
And when they saw Landon's concerned expression, they were even more delighted than ever.
Ahhh!!
He was definitely falling for them now.
But how could they have known that Landon was actually on Lucy who was at the back?
Lucy's mouth twitched when she saw how her half-sisters were behaving.
Her men also looked up to the sky, as they felt that their patience was almost running out.
It was true that a man should never hit a woman.
But for the first time in their lives, they felt like these women deserved some spanking.
"Princess, how should I say this?
Your family is really shameless!" Hader said in a whispery tone.
"I know.
Even I can't believe that I came out of the same family as them." Lucy replied helplessly.
What would she do?
She too felt embarrassed alright?
"Hader, let's forget about my family and focus on what's important."
"Yes princess."
.
Hader stepped a little closer to Lucy and briefly communicated all the key points to her.
"Princess!
Even though we are your subordinates, we do hope that you will learn from this experience.
This time, your majesty had prepared everything for you.
But one day, he might not be able to do it if his hands are tied or if he isn't around.
So it's your responsibility to also handle these sort of small commotions and give us instructions on what to do too.
We as your team might never have known about this matter if his majesty hadn't stated the importance of it.
Princess... we thought that this was one of your typical audience meetings where one would send in a request to see you.
And even though we were aware that it might be a relative, as your private team... if you doubt tell us that you are entering a war zone, then we might not be as fully prepared as we were today.
If it was a typical meeting, we wouldn't even have to disguise ourselves, as some of us would be present by your side as your bodyguards for all to see.
And if that was the case, the enemy would never show it's true face to you.
Again, we might have not prepared a camera the day before and secretly hide it in the bushes for this event.
By then, we could have no real evidence to back your claim.
Princess, you have at least 4 request audience meetings daily during weekdays... so recording everything would definitely not work as privacy is called into the matter in most cases.
But if you ever feel like you are about to meet an enemy, you should always give us your true opinions for us to be fully prepared in protecting you.
Please princess!
Telling us these things will also protect us, your bodyguards too.
So never forget that."
"Yes grandpa."
(TT^TT)
'Please princess... can you take me a bit more seriously.'
Lucy looked at Hader and chuckled.
Evidence? They had plenty!
