1513 Already Engaged

President Anduin’s expression was as calm as water as he stared at the smiling Prince Lekas in silence.

Regarding the fact that Princess Pamela might be suspected of imparting the Exterminating Heart Technique to Chu Nan in private, it was actually because the Elder Council had received a report from some channels that they knew. Originally, the Elder Council’s opinion was to capture Princess Pamela immediately and kill him.

This method of handling was also the usual way of the Declan royal family to deal with similar situations. President Anduin had personally dealt with two similar incidents in the past.

Although the evidence was not that clear, in order to protect the top secret of the Exterminating Heart Technique, the Elder Council had always adhered to the principle of killing without letting go. They firmly did not give anyone the possibility of secretly learning the Exterminating Heart Technique. Therefore, they followed the rules in dealing with Chu Nan.

However, when the Elder Council wanted to officially give the order to kill Chu Nan, they encountered huge resistance from the royal family, causing them to be unable to directly send the experts of the clan to kill him.

In the end, they could only accept Prince Lekas’ suggestion. When Chu Nan came to Planet Lantis to accept the reward of the Garden Hunting Assembly, they would apprehend him. In fact… they had to hold a public trial.

To hell with a public trial!

Apart from dealing with some people in the clan who needed to be notarized, when did the Elder Council need to go through any trial to deal with outsiders?

The reason why he was forced to choose the trial this time was completely because of the pressure from a group of people in the race. The leader was this Prince Lekas!

All kinds of abnormal performances of Prince Lekas before and after this happened quickly flashed through President Anduin’s mind. Then, he instantly understood his suggestion to remove Chu Nan’s crime.

All of this was caused by Lekas!

He had gone through so much trouble and spent a lot of effort to get Chu Nan to such a certain death before coming out to propose such a solution. His goal was to force a marriage!

Yes, Lekas clearly wanted to force Chu Nan to marry a princess!

The reason why he did not say explicitly that it was Pamela was probably because he did not want to make it so obvious.

However…

President Anduin narrowed his eyes and stared at Prince Lekas in confusion.

Why did he have to do this?

Then, he turned to look at Chu Nan who had an extremely strange expression beside Prince Lekas. It could be seen that this kid should not have passed with Lekas in advance. It was obvious that he only knew this result now.

What special value did this young kid from the Earth Federation have that was worth Lekas spending so much effort for him? Even His Majesty Gremayne had been dragged into the water and was willing to issue such a decree at such a critical moment to exonerate him?

President Anduin’s gaze moved away from Chu Nan and swept past Prince Lekas’s face. Then, he walked around and glanced at the surrounding Declan royal family members. In the end, his gaze landed on Prince Lekas and he stretched out his hand.

“Lekas, show me His Majesty’s decree.”

“Okay.”

Prince Lekas did not reject. He walked over and handed Gremayne’s instructions to President Anduin with both hands.

President Anduin lowered his head and glanced at it. He sent the written order to his left and right for the other elders to read.

After the order was sent back to President Anduin, he glanced at it again before looking up at Prince Lekas. He coughed lightly and said, “His Majesty’s order is correct, but Lekas, you’ve forgotten a very important question.”

“Oh?” Prince Lekas did not seem surprised. He smiled and asked, “What’s the problem?”

President Anduin raised the handwritten order in his hand, “If His Majesty’s order was issued before Pamela privately imparted the Exterminating Heart Technique to Chu Nan, it’s naturally not a problem for her to impart it to him. However, after that, it means that when she imparted the Exterminating Heart Technique to him, he was still not a member of our race. Her actions still violated the clan’s rules and the two of them committed a huge crime at the same time. Even if Chu Nan is married to a princess now, his crimes are still unforgivable. Do you understand what I mean?”

Hearing President Anduin’s words, the surrounding Declan royal family immediately revealed surprised expressions and could not help but discuss.

From Prince Lekas’s performance and the royal order he had brought, it was obvious that he supported Chu Nan greatly. Even His Majesty Gremayne supported him and did not want to be sentenced to death, so he chose such a remedy.

It was impossible for President Anduin not to understand the meaning of His Majesty Gremayne and Prince Lekas. He should also know the weight of His Majesty Gremayne and Prince Lekas very well. Originally, according to everyone’s thoughts, since the two of them had expressed this intention and given a reasonable solution, President Anduin should have pushed the boat and perfectly resolved this matter.

However, he did not expect that President Anduin would insist on nitpicking and forcefully find a mistake. He actually looked like he wanted to kill Chu Nan!

Prince Lekas did not look surprised, as if he had long expected President Anduin to say this. He smiled when he heard this.

“Speaker Anduin, I’m afraid you’ve also misunderstood a problem. His Majesty is not an unreasonable person. The reason why he chose to bestow the marriage is naturally because Chu Nan was originally engaged to a certain princess. The two of them are in love, and His Majesty is only doing them a favor. The agreement between the two of them was before Pamela imparted Chu Nan the Exterminating Heart Technique. This naturally can’t be considered privately imparting it. How can it be considered that Pamela violated the clan’s rules and Chu Nan committed a huge crime because of this?”

Everyone in the entire trial hall was immediately stunned.

This time, not only was the surrounding Declan royal family stunned, but President Anduin and the elders on the rostrum were also stunned. As for the main character of this matter, Chu Nan, he was even more dumbfounded.

He had an engagement with a certain princess? Who was it? When?

Chu Nan quickly glanced at Pamela and discovered that she did not have much of a surprised expression. Instead, she looked at him and bit her lip. Her expression was a little sad, happy, and relieved. She was immediately even more puzzled.

What was going on?

President Anduin quickly glanced at Chu Nan and saw the surprise on his face. Anger arose in his heart and he could not help but snort heavily before glancing at Prince Lekas.

“Oh? Which princess is it? All the princesses Chu Nan has come into contact with are waiting outside. Point her out and we can let her testify in the hall.”

“Of course.” Prince Lekas smiled, raised his hands, and clapped. He raised his voice and shouted outside the door, “Come in.”

The door of the Judgment Hall opened and a slender figure slowly walked in.

Chu Nan’s gaze collided with hers and he was immediately stunned.

How could it be her?
