With complex emotions, Jessica brought the Magic Knights to Henry’s residence.
It’s just that the current evidence wasn’t enough to completely identify Henry’s behavior.
Moreover, Jessica felt that the testimony of the Rumelter Family was completely unreliable.
After all, they were mortal enemies with Henry, so how could they possibly speak for Henry?
Jessica even thought that the source of all this should be related to the Rumelter Family.
But these were all her personal subjective emotions, and couldn’t be used as evidence to explain anything.
She believed that Henry hadn’t done such things, but now Henry had to tell her about his experiences last night.
She walked to the door, just about to knock.
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open, and then a figure slid and tackled to her front, smoothly hugging her thighs!
The other party also shamelessly rubbed their face against her legs, without any image at all.
Jessica’s cheeks instantly flushed red, she bit her teeth, forcibly enduring her shyness as she pushed away that person’s head.
“Henry! What are you doing!”
“Haven’t seen Her Royal Highness The Princess for a long time, naturally I miss you! But I heard you’re busy with work, so I didn’t have the nerve to disturb you.”
Henry stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his buttocks, and only then noticed the Magic Knights behind Jessica.
Those Magic Knights looked at Henry curiously.
No matter how you looked at it, Henry was just a pervert, completely different from the image of a cruel murderer.
Jessica straightened her skirt, then looked at Henry seriously and asked.
“Henry, what did you do last night?”
“Me? I was at home.”
Henry found it strange that Jessica would ask such a question.
Could it be that she was worried he had been alone with Sherisa last night?
“Then yesterday afternoon, did two men in suits come to your door looking for you?”
“Yes, those were people sent by the Rumelter Family, saying they wanted to negotiate with me.”
“What was the content?”
Henry noticed that the Magic Knights behind Jessica were taking notes, recording his words.
He naturally wouldn’t think that Jessica was sick enough to remember every single word he said clearly.
Looking at Jessica’s expression, something big had obviously happened, and this matter was related to him.
“Roughly they wanted me to drop out of Saint Nad Magic Academy, then compensate me with some Gold Coins and a piece of land that even dogs wouldn’t want to take a shit on.”
The Magic Knight taking notes very consciously ignored Henry’s latter words.
But they gained some understanding of the Rumelter Family.
Logically speaking, Henry being able to establish himself at Saint Nad Magic Academy was already pretty good, but they actually wanted Henry to drop out!
Did they really never think about letting Henry return to the Rumelter Family?
Several people looked at each other, but didn’t express their opinions.
Jessica, however, appeared extremely angry.
“They really are crazy! Do they dislike you that much?”
Jessica couldn’t understand why, as Henry’s biological father, Lore Rumelter insisted on suppressing Henry.
This was clearly his biological son!
Jessica rubbed her temples, letting herself calm down.
“Henry, yesterday someone saw you throw those two suit men out, did this happen?”
“They wanted to break into my house, and they forced negotiations with me regardless of my wishes. Could I indulge them? Besides, this manor is a place the Principal left for me, how could I casually let outsiders enter?”
“Then what about this?”
Jessica pulled out a blood-stained card from her pocket.
It was a card with birthday wishes written on it, and it was signed with his name!
But looking at the handwriting, it should belong to the original owner.
“Uh, this should be my thing, but I left it at the Rumelter Family and didn’t bring it over. What’s wrong?”
Jessica turned her head to look at the Knight taking notes, who nodded, indicating that he had recorded it.
“Henry, last night there was a rather brutal murder case. The deceased were exactly those two men who came to negotiate with you yesterday, and this name card was left at the scene. According to the Rumelter Family, they said you had already taken all these personal items away, especially this card – you were the person who treasured this card the most!”
Mentioning the Rumelter Family, Henry suddenly came to his senses.
This was them failing at negotiations and now trying to frame him!
No wonder Jessica looked so grave.
Henry also put forward his own thoughts on this.
“I say, the Rumelter Family and I don’t get along, you can’t just listen to one side’s story, right?”
The Magic Knight behind Jessica responded to Henry’s words: “You’re right, but now you’re currently the biggest criminal suspect. We need you to provide proof that you weren’t at the scene.”
“Does my maid count?”
“We need to make a judgment.”
Henry also understood their duties, so he didn’t over-explain.
He was just about to call out for Lilith.
Suddenly, the sound of armor rang out from behind everyone.
Several knights wearing brown armor with great swords at their waists walked toward them.
The Magic Knights looked somewhat surprised, seeming very unexpected that they would appear here.
And Jessica’s face suddenly changed, as if she realized something.
Those several Great Sword Knights saluted Jessica, then walked in front of Henry and said coldly.
“Henry, you’re suspected of murder. Now we’re going to arrest you and put you in prison for interrogation. You can choose not to comply, but we will dispose of you accordingly!”
Having said this, the several Great Sword Knights behind him all drew their great swords, preventing Henry from suddenly fighting back.
“Wait! The current evidence isn’t sufficient to prove Henry murdered someone! You have no right to imprison Henry!”
Jessica blocked in front of Henry, her anger completely undisguised in her expression.
“Your Royal Highness The Princess, special circumstances require special treatment. Now we suspect he has connections with cultists!”
“Where’s the evidence? If there’s no evidence, then I order you to leave here!”
Jessica stared deadly at the knight in front of her.
But the other party seemed not to have heard Jessica’s words.
The leading knight pulled out a parchment from behind him.
“Your Royal Highness The Princess, in this matter, you have no authority to command us Royal Knights! Because this arrest is personally ordered by His Majesty The King! Today he must go to prison with us!”
Seeing the seal on that parchment, Jessica felt it was unbelievable.
Her father wanted to imprison Henry without even investigating!
What exactly did he want to do?
Seeing those Royal Knights about to take action, Jessica instinctively put her hand on her sword hilt.
And seeing Jessica’s action, that Royal Knight angrily shouted.
“Your Royal Highness The Princess, please calm down! This is His Majesty The King’s order!”
Again, His Majesty The King’s order!
Could His Majesty The King’s orders arbitrarily imprison innocent people?
Jessica was somewhat breaking down. She bit her teeth tightly, forcibly maintaining a thread of rationality.
But suddenly, a hand rested on the back of her hand.
Jessica instinctively looked up, and happened to meet Henry’s gentle smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“It’s just being set up by capital, it’s just a small matter for me.”
Henry squeezed Jessica’s hand, giving her some strength.
Then he walked in front of the Royal Knights and extended both hands.
“Let’s go. I’ve grown this big and never eaten prison food. I’d like to see what the Empire’s prison meals are like.”
