Chapter 292: Chapter 232: Producing Wonders_2
Back to her room, Ann finally couldn’t help but complain.
“It’s clearly their problem, yet they’ve managed to completely deflect the bla!”
In Ann’s eyes, the real scoundrels were these noblen’s sons. They kept claiming that Kristin had betrayed them when she wasn’t even that woman… But the crux of the matter was that Kristin was never that noble miss. No matter how similar their appearances might be, their personalities were definitely different. Yet surprisingly, these n one by one, indignantly considered themselves the victims. They initiate to ask for substitutes and if she successfully impersonates, she is considered hard-working, but they were fragile enough to be affected?
“This would fit better with ethics and law, rather than with the Tribunal.”
Duanmu Huai, an idle viewer of the whole spectacle, was also quite shocked. Is this how you nobles play?
Regardless, this matter didn’t concern the Tribunal; it was rely an economic dispute. Those sons of nobles were foolish enough to stir up trouble, so they shouldn’t bla others. As for the lady nad Kristin… Since the relationship between the two parties was purely trading, and they had an agreent in advance, there shouldn’t be any major problem. At least, Duanmu Huai didn’t think she was lying.
...
The intelligence of those noble offspring really needs improvent. To be honest, Duanmu Huai thought they were too spoiled.
“So, she has nothing to do with the succubus?”
“Not at all, let her go.”
Although Duanmu Huai wanted to simply let Kristin go, she was very unhappy when she was released from prison.
“May I sue them for compensation? After all, they accused of being a succubus, and because of this, my father’s business is ruined…”
“In theory, definitely.”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, he glanced at Ann, who… shook her head helplessly.
“Truth be told, even though we have given our verdict, those nobles are still not giving up…”
“The bunch of morons really have a lot of issues.”
Duanmu Huai could understand why Kristin was so annoyed. After all, she was falsely accused of being a succubus, which caused her family’s business to suffer. If this was modern tis, a simple defamation lawsuit would at least result in compensation. But sadly, in Manaria, the nobles hold a lot of power, a rchant’s daughter like Kristin really couldn’t do anything to them.
However…
Gazing at Kristin in front of him, Duanmu Huai tapped his fingers and suddenly had a bright idea.
“Right, you said those idiots wanted you to play another woman, right? How did you impersonate her? Can you show it to ?”
“Alright.”
Although Kristin didn’t know why Duanmu Huai made such a request, she still nodded, then slightly adjusted her hair, coughed softly, and lowered her head.
When Kristin looked up again, the atmosphere around her had changed.
The Kristin that Duanmu Huai and Ann had seen before was a very assertive, even sowhat intimidating girl. But when she cald down and acted ek and submissive, she gave off a pitiable, very quiet and gentle, and distressed look.
Seeing Kristin like this, Ann was stunned before shouting.
“Ah, I knew she looked familiar, isn’t this Miss Lilina?”
“Yes, it is…”
The voice of Kristin at this mont beca gentle and light, fragile like a piece of glass.
“Those gentlen asked to impersonate Miss Lilina to accompany them, I couldn’t refuse…”
As she spoke, Kristin clenched her hands on her chest, even revealing a sowhat shy and anxious expression, as pure and flawless as a Snow White in danger.
“She does look very alike…”
Although Duanmu Huai had never seen the Noble Miss before, Ann seed to recognize her. She stared at Kristin in disbelief, sizing her up and down for quite so ti.
“To be honest, if I t you at a party, I would definitely think you two were sisters.”
“I don’t have the privilege to associate with the Noble Miss.”
The next mont, Kristin’s deanor quickly shifted back to her original, assertive and aggressive manner. Her rapidly changing expressions surprised Duanmu Huai. However, it was clear why Ann had not recognized her earlier; the temperant between the two was indeed very different.
But it has to be said, Kristin’s imitation of that young girl was indeed very good. She even captured so of the subtle body expressions rather well. Frankly, Duanmu Huai thought she would make a better actress… pity that the concept of a movie did not exist in this generation.
“Well…in that case, I have a suggestion, would you like to work for ?”
“For Sir Knight? What do you want to do?”
Kristin was clearly wary as she looked Duanmu Huai in the eye. He didn’t bla her.
“Do you know Miss Audrey?”
“Well… I have heard so rumours about her. I heard she was frad by a succubus…”
Listening to Kristin speak, Ann reluctantly raised her hand to her forehead and shook her head. The scandalous story had beco a legend in every alley way of Manaria… As a princess, her emotions were indeed complicated.
“Yes, she was indeed frad by the succubus, but in truth, she herself is not without faults. I hope that you can work under her and, well… try to change her a bit.”
“Change her?”
“The situation is quite complex, but I think you’ll understand once you et her.”
Yes, this is the idea Duanmu Huai ca up with. Audrey’s biggest problem is her lack of understanding of human nature. On the other hand, perhaps due to her background as a businesswoman, Kristin’s ability to tailor her response according to the person she’s dealing with is top-notch. Now, Duanmu Huai just happens to need such an assistant to help forge relationships between all parties. If Kristin can easily diate between several nobles, it ans her ability to read and understand people is quite strong.
The girls around Duanmu Huai are good kids, but their personalities are perhaps too strong. Only Lorena is sowhat better. The rest are basically in their own world. Duanmu Huai does not have ti to concern himself with their issues all day, so finding soone to manage them seems like the best choice.
Not only that…
“Regarding your family business, I suggest you move it to the Holy City. You may not know, but the Holy City is currently jointly developing an area called the Borderland. I hope you can participate in it and report back to .”
Duanmu Huai certainly wouldn’t neglect the Borderland. Although he could get important information from Mistelina, it is a bit awkward to et her, and as part of the upper hierarchy, she does not have a good grasp of what is happening at the lower levels. As a Judge, Duanmu Huai knew most of the activities of Chaos originate from the lower rungs of society.
To gain information from the lower classes, businessn were the best choice.
Although he couldn’t guarantee the loyalty of Kristin’s family, at least he could provide Kristin with protection, thereby controlling that group of businessn to so extent.
Duanmu Huai was currently short-staffed, and as far as he was concerned, Kristin appeared to be a rather good candidate. He didn’t mind letting her try first.
Anything that can be used, should be used – this was the principle of a Judge.
In fact, for a Judge, dealing with prisoners would be an easier option.
“Ugh… It seems I have no room to refuse.”
Kristin frowned, thought for a mont, and reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, I’ll do as you propose, Sir Knight.”
