Chapter 143: An Affair Case [4]
There were about three Half-Demon that I knew of.
The Half Demon I can say I'm closest to is Shuguri.
The second is Feltron, with whom I had a bad relationship in the past.
The last one is Liliana, standing in front of me now. These guys generally had a unique aesthetic sense.
'Actually, when I first met Shuguri, he was like a monster.'
Right now, he seemed to like the shape of a black squirrel. People also liked it and said it was cute.
In any case, Liliana's appearance was puzzling from a human perspective. Her skin, with white dots on a brown background, felt repulsive from the start.
Moreover, her eyes were small, and her head was quite large. If there's one good thing about her, it's probably her voluptuous body?
But wouldn't a woman only be considered beautiful if her face supported it?
"What did you just… say?"
"I'm sorry. I saw your true self."
"I am here in my capacity as a countess. Please speak carefully."
Liliana expressed her soft anger. But my attitude didn't change.
I didn't want to be polite to a half-demon who was fooling people.
"Will you be able to maintain your position even if the fascination with Count Antonio is lifted?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Your identity has already been revealed. Half-succubus."
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
I immediately took out the gavel. Then, a red flame began to burn brightly, pushing out all the energy in the room.
Soon, the hazy eyes of Prosecutor Anderson Cantrell returned to normal.
"Huh? Huh? What, what's going on here? This isn't a person."
"It's the charm of a half-succubus. Everyone mistook her for a peerless beauty." Your next journey awaits at M-V-L
"Huh! How could this happen!"
As expected, Liliana's true nature was not enough to gain the favor of humans.
Of course so. Unless you have extremely unique tastes.
"The overwhelming halo-like effect has disappeared, but it still feels good."
"Yes?"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at Anderson Cantrell's mutterings.
Anyone can see that it's close to a monster, so what are you trying to do now?
Then, Inspector Cantrell scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
"Ahem! That's not to say it's good. I'm not in a position to be picky right now."
"What are you talking about now during the witness examination?"
"If I'm going to grow old and die as a bachelor, I'd rather be with a half-succubus… Oh, no."
Anderson Cantrell wiped the sweat from his forehead, perhaps noticing my cool gaze.
I expected a prosecutor as passionate as Corbin Sears, but even he didn't seem to be normal.
In any case, in this state, Count Antonio's mind would have also returned.
"Mr. Cantrell, please bring in both the defendant and the victim."
"All right."
Soon, Count Antonio and Grady entered the conference room. They were glaring at each other and bickering. Then, as if he had noticed me, he quickly straightened up.
"Your Honor, how did Liliana's investigation go?"
"It's over."
As I pointed at her, Count Antonio ran toward her in one stride.
"Oh! Ma'am, are you okay… Huh? Why are you like this?"
"Honey!"
"Who are you? No, Your Honor! Where did Liliana go, and what kind of monster is this?"
"Oh, shit. I almost made it, but that damn judge got me screwed."
"What, what did you say?"
As expected, the expected reaction erupted.
Count Antonio stepped back hesitantly, his face turning pale. Moreover, the defendant Grady also had an equally astonished expression.
It seemed like he was very shocked after seeing Liliana's true colors. I called the two people to the center.
"I hope this pointless squabble will stop now. Isn't this all because of this half-succubus's tricks?"
"Your Majesty the Duke."
"Why? Do you still have feelings for that being?"
"That's not it, but…."
Count Antonio's expression was extremely somber. When he came to his senses, his pride seemed to have been greatly hurt.
'Well, I guess that can't be helped.'
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to fight over a son and a woman?
In that sense, there was only one way to wrap this up neatly. I immediately called the defendant over and whispered something to him.
"Everyone is responsible for this. Do you agree with that?"
"Yes, that's right."
"You may still have some resentment in your heart, but it will soon be resolved. Aren't you two related by blood?"
"Yes."
"Go and apologize to your father first. Then he will gladly extend his hand."
"But the person who filed the lawsuit…."
"Why is that? Do you still see that half-demon as your lover?"
Whoever filed the complaint first, this was caused by a half-succubus. In my opinion, I had to save face here for my father.
"Wouldn't that be the only way to regain your position as successor?"
"All right."
Grady nodded with a stern expression. It seemed like he had decided something after hearing what I said.
"Father, I was so foolish that I brought something bad into the house. I bow my head and apologize."
"Uh…."
Count Antonio was speechless, perhaps not expecting his son to ask for forgiveness so quickly. I had a feeling that the atmosphere was going to be awkward, so I quickly intervened.
"Count Antonio."
"Ah, yes! Your Highness the Duke."
"A sincere apology is an act of courage, isn't it?"
"Oh, of course. When did you grow so much? I almost didn't recognize you. Ha, haha!"
Count Antonio, who was bursting into laughter, patted his son on the back. At the same time, he also apologized and repented his mistakes.
"I'm so sorry, too. I showed my ugly side too many times."
"No, Father."
"Okay. Let's go home now."
"Yes."
The two people hugged each other with relieved expressions. Then they looked straight at me with a stern expression.
"Your Honor."
"Go ahead."
"I will drop the charges. Instead, please punish that half-succubus. Just like that doppelganger back then."
"I will do so."
