"It's like this." Virgil said. "I have another matter to report, and the hearing hasn't ended yet, and His Majesty the Emperor is still here."
"This is against the rules." Luca said at this time. "Mr. Virgil, the hearing cannot be a complaint meeting. If you have any reports, please go through the formal channels."
"Of course I know, but the person I reported is at the hearing." Virgil smiled, and then his eyes swept over Tyrell and Donnie, and finally stopped on Odysseus. "Your Majesty, I want to know, if the use of forbidden magic endangers the physical safety of others and threatens others to do something, this matter is beyond the scope of the academy's trial, right?"
When everyone present heard the words "forbidden magic", their hearts tightened.
"Student Virgil, this is no joke. You said these four words, so you have to be responsible for it?" Luca said seriously.
Forbidden magic is magic that is explicitly prohibited by the imperial authorities. It includes magic that goes against the laws of nature, such as resurrection of the dead. The overall characteristic of forbidden magic is danger. It is so dangerous that not only will the caster be harmed, but the caster may also lose his original intention and his mind may change when using forbidden magic.
"Yes." Virgil nodded. "I want to report that Tyrell used forbidden magic to threaten Anya, which catalyzed Anya's mother's disease, causing the disease that could have been controlled to quickly turn into a critical illness. This forced Anya to help Tyrell murder Litt due to financial pressure."
"We did detect forbidden magic fluctuations in Anya's mother." Virgil took out the video recording stone. "If you don't believe me, here's the evidence."
At the same time, Virgil also sent a parchment scroll to Luca.
As a high-level magician, Ka naturally knew what this scroll was.
"This is a scroll I found in classmate Tyrell's room. There are used magic fluctuations on it. It can be used to detect whether it is used by classmate Tyrell." Virgil said.
"Virgil... No, Orson!" Hearing this, Tyrell went straight to Orson. "Didn't you say you would help me clear my name?!"
"Yeah." Orson shrugged innocently. "I said I would help you clear your name."
With that, he walked up to Tyrell.
"Now, everyone knows that it was Donnie who ordered you to do this. Hasn't your grievance been cleared?"
As he said this, Orson patted Tyrell on the shoulder.
"I'm just putting one thing at a time. It's pitiful that you were coerced, but aren't the things you did wrong enough?"
"You could have used the forbidden scroll, but you still used it. You could have destroyed it after using it, but you thought you could still use it in the future, so you kept it. Isn't all this caused by your greed?"
"Do your own fault, don't live."
Having said this, he smiled and left Tyrell.
Looking at Tyrell standing there in a daze, Donnie smiled, which was a rare occurrence.
"Hahaha, Tyrell, I asked you to betray me, did you see that?! This is what happens to you!" Tony said this and mocked Tyrell wantonly.
You know, in the Empire, using forbidden magic is a serious crime, and privately possessing magic scrolls is also a serious crime, and the crime is punishable by several years in prison.
Although the nobles can use the excuse of "prohibiting the spread of forbidden magic" to "temporarily store" some forbidden magic scrolls at home, once you use them, it is no longer a matter of "temporary storage".
Although he didn't know where Tyrell's forbidden magic scroll came from, it was enough for Tony to know that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Tyrell!" At this time, Luca checked the magic scroll and confirmed the magic fluctuations, and looked at Tyrell sternly. "Tell me, where did you get your magic scroll?"
Tyrell was stunned for a moment, then he spoke and looked at Luca.
"Dean Luca, I don't know about this... I found this magic scroll by accident when I was tidying up the dormitory storage room. I didn't think of using it at the time. You have to believe me!"
Having said this, Tyrell knelt down, weeping.
After all, forbidden magic is different from other things. Other things may be treated leniently, but using forbidden magic and using it to harm others is a serious crime.
It is very likely that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Still quibbling!" Luca was very angry when he saw Tyrell saying this.
Now, no one is willing to believe Tyrell anymore.
"Dean Luca." At this moment, Odysseus suddenly spoke. "Since the other party is involved in forbidden magic, it is no longer just a matter within the Imperial Academy. If possible, hand him over to us."
"Okay." Luca nodded after hearing that.
Then, at Odysseus' call, the soldiers rushed forward and took Tyrell away.
"Hahaha, see, this is the price of betraying me!" Downey was still mocking Tyrell on the stage.
Odysseus waved again, signaling the soldiers to take Donny away as well.
Donny was still smiling, but who would have thought that he would also be tortured. He suddenly became unhappy.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear what Tyrell said? That scroll was not given to you by me!" Tony said this and even called for help directly to his father.
"Father, help me! Help me, I am innocent! I am innocent!"
Giovanni also stood up at this moment and walked in front of Donnie.
He frowned at Donnie, a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Donny, I am very dissatisfied with you." He said this and signaled the soldiers to leave. He would not plead with His Majesty.
Then, the soldiers pulled Tony farther and farther away.
"What a good show." William looked at Lucius and laughed.
"Haha, it's really worth the trip." Lucius also smiled.
"I really didn't expect Orson to be so ruthless." William said this and stood up. "It seems that he completely disregards the relationship between the two families. In this case, Lucius, I am the only one you can rely on."
Lucius looked at Orson on the stage and said nothing.
As the two suspects were taken away, the hearing
The meeting will end here.
Taking into account that several dukes still have their own children in the Imperial Academy, and the sudden discovery of forbidden magic incidents that need to be interrogated, Odysseus also announced the cancellation of the evening dinner and let the dukes make their own arrangements.
The dukes who had children in the college naturally found a restaurant in the college to eat with their children, while the rest of the dukes left the college.
……
"Lianka, how is your college life these days? Are you adapting well?" In the restaurant, William looked at his two daughters across from him and smiled lovingly.
"Well, it's okay." Lianka nodded.
She was reluctant to tell her father about her recent troubles. After all, she had already told Olivia, and there was no need for another person to share her troubles, especially when it was her father who had always placed high hopes on her.
"You did a great job hosting today's hearing, Olivia." William also looked at Olivia at this time, showing an expression of recognition and approval.
"He is neither humble nor arrogant. He can remain calm even with so many big names sitting in the audience."
"Father, you taught me all this well." Olivia said with a smile.
"Well, but Orson is a good guy too." At this time, William suddenly mentioned Orson's name. "I feel relieved to leave Lianka to Orson."
"Ah, that...father." Upon hearing this, Olivia and Lianka, who were sitting opposite, suddenly became nervous. At this time, Olivia spoke first.
After all, it was she who asked to modify the engagement, so it wasn't appropriate to let Lianka say it first.
But who would have thought that Lianka would speak out first.
"Father, Orson and I have met privately. I still don't like Orson, but the engagement cannot be cancelled. My sister helped me and is going to change the person I am engaged to with Orson to her." Lianka said this and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, father. We have already discussed this with Orson. He should also be discussing this with Duke Lucius now. This is all because I don't like Orson. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
After Lianka finished speaking, she looked at Olivia.
Her sister had done so many things for her, so at least this time, the responsibility for breaking off the engagement should be borne entirely by Lianka.
This would also make Lianka's guilty heart feel a little better.
"Is this true?" Upon hearing this, William looked at Olivia and Lianka in disbelief.
Despite this, his tone did not become angry, but instead only full of doubt and confusion.
He didn't understand why Lianka didn't like such an outstanding Orson, nor did he understand why Olivia would come up with the idea of surrogate marriage.
"What Lianka said is true." Olivia also confessed at this time. "My name was indeed changed on the marriage contract."
Having said that, Olivia took out the new engagement and handed it to William.
William looked at it several times, confirmed it, and sighed helplessly.
"I consider myself a kind father and will not interfere too much with your opinions."
"Since this is the result of the negotiation between you two sisters, Lianka and Olivia, then let's do it this way. I agree with it and will talk to Lucius about it later."
"Really?" The two sisters asked in surprise, obviously not expecting their father to change his words so easily.
"Yes." William nodded. "But, I have a request."
"What? Father, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best."
"Olivia, your and Orson's first child must have the last name Eisenborg. After all, you have to leave a descendant for my Eisenborg family, right?"
"But..." Olivia was troubled when she heard this request. "This matter is not something I can decide..."
"Yeah." William knew that, of course. "So I'll go ask them. If they don't agree, you can only give Orson a few more children and let the later ones take your last name."
"So, this is what my father wants..." Olivia nodded after hearing this.
In fact, she was eager to have more children with Orson.
"And after you officially get married and before you give birth to the Eisenberg family's child, I will give priority to Lianka as the Duke's heir." William said this and looked at Lianka.
"Lianka, you are different. If you get married in the future, your husband must be a son-in-law, otherwise I will not agree."
"Can you two accept this?"
"Yeah." Olivia and Lianka both nodded.
William agreed because this incident made him more convinced that Orson must become his son-in-law.
With his abilities, he can definitely help the Eisenberg family continue to prosper.
If it is true as Lianka said that she doesn't like Orson at all, then William would indeed choose Olivia to replace him.
After all, an unhappy marriage would not make Orson willingly help the Eisenberg family.
With this in mind, William found an excuse to send Lianka away, leaving only himself and Olivia.
Of course Olivia knew that her father must want to say something when he left her alone, so she stayed where she was, waiting for William's words.
"Olivia." William asked after seeing Lianka walk away. "You like Orson, right?"
"..." Hearing her father's words, Olivia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "I can't hide it from you, father."
Olivia thought William was going to start investigating her for deceiving Lianka.
"Since you like Orson, you must win him over." Unexpectedly, William did not pursue the matter, but encouraged Olivia. "You are only engaged to him now. If you can't guarantee that he likes you, it's not safe. What's more, if he likes you now, your marriage will go smoothly later."
"Father..." Olivia was a little confused. "Can I ask you why you do this?"
"Olivia." William said this, with a hint of regret and apology in his eyes. "I hope my daughter can grasp what she thinks is happiness."
"I didn't see what you were thinking before, but now that you've revealed it to me, I will support you."
……
At the same time, on the other side, Orson and Litt were sitting in a barbecue restaurant with Lucius.
"I didn't expect that you would ask me about the meeting time for this, Orson." Lucius said with a smile.
Seeing his old rival Giovanni suffer a defeat, he felt happier than on his own birthday.
Yes, when Lucius came to Saint Laurent City, he wrote a letter to Orson and Litt to inform them of his itinerary and expressed his hope to meet his two children after the meeting.
Then, Orson took the initiative to find Lucius and asked about the meeting's opening and ending time. Then, he asked Virgil and his men to wait outside the door until the meeting was over.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.
Seeing that the situation was almost ready, Orson told Lucius about the engagement.
"Father, regarding the engagement between you and Duke William, Lianca doesn't seem to like me very much. After discussing with her and Olivia, I decided to change the engagement from Lianca to Olivia."
"Oh." Lucius nodded after hearing this. "Then the other side should also know about this matter. I will talk to Duke William later."
"Well, father, aren't you angry?" Orson asked. "After all, this engagement was originally made between you and Duke William."
"What's there to be angry about?" Lucius was puzzled. "You know the reason why I arranged a marriage with him, Orson. As long as the marriage is not cancelled, it will be fine. If you can marry the person you like, Orson, that would be the best."
"Uh... In that case, I would like to thank my father first."
Afterwards, they chatted some more, and Orson went back to the dormitory with Leeteuk.
In the dormitory, after Orson finished washing up, he sat at the desk reading a book. When he was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.
