Shameless

Flora couldn’t help but reveal a playful expression.

But she still held a sliver of hope.

However, when she arrived near the school’s plantation and saw the dozen or so people surrounding Stella, Frollie was speechless.

They were all students and attendants from the Blue Lion family… Did they really think they knew nothing, that they couldn’t even recognize people?

The three of them slowly walked forward.

Perhaps sensing their approach, the people surrounding them also became more aggressive.

“You did so many wicked things back then, don’t think you can just wipe the slate clean!”

“Don’t think we’ll be afraid of you just because your younger brother is favored by His Majesty!”

“That’s right, your reputations are already ruined. Don’t think you can stir up trouble like before!”

Putting aside the feelings of disgust and loathing, Snow actually admired Stella.

While they expected Stella to come and question the same goal, or continue targeting Olivia.

Stella adopted a strategy of retreat to advance, continuing to appear weak.

If they didn’t know the information about these students beforehand, if Snow didn’t have the genuine side effects… Maybe she would have really tricked them.

“Why, why won’t you believe me? I really want to apologize, I want to reform!”

Stella’s acting skills were also quite good, looking as if she were about to burst into tears and looked incredibly aggrieved.

Anyone who didn’t know would think it was the female lead of a tragic drama.

“Ah, what is… what is…”

But the extras’ acting was a bit clumsy, obviously pretending to have discovered Snow, pretending to be very surprised, and then shouting as if reciting lines:

“Crown Prince Snow, I advise you to abandon this vicious woman as soon as possible and break off your engagement with her!”

“Besides, it is said that this woman’s brother, a year ago, was ungrateful and attacked the Marquis Pien. If you marry her, aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your reputation?”

Afraid of the wrath of the Azure Sky Knights!

“You don’t think your small Black Dragon Knight Order can stop the iron hooves of the King of the North, do you!”

The conflict with the Azure Sky.

“Get out of here!”

Ryan summoned the Guardian God, his face filled with fury.

“F-fighting is not allowed in school!”

“You’re actually protecting this bad woman, you’ll regret it!”

The extras scattered like birds and beasts.

Ryan’s anger didn’t subside.

Because what those people just mentioned made the golden-haired girl behind him become extremely sad.

The suicide of Count Liguane Yaros two years ago only made the Blue Lion family’s reputation somewhat laughable, but considering Count Yaros’s reputation during his lifetime, more people felt sadness and regret.

Some people even admired Liguane’s pride.

What truly caused the Blue Lion family’s reputation to decline and become known to the world was what happened a year ago.

The newly appointed head of the Blue Lion Knight Order, Count Reinhardt Yaros, this duke’s eldest son, was the eldest son of Count Yaros and the future hope of the family. But his actions actually led troops to attack the Marquis of Honor, Rinald, Champion.

But Reinhardt failed.

Few people know the details of how it happened.

They only know that the enraged Reinhardt had murderous intent.

The Marquis, however, was constantly evading.

When the Four Knights of Azure Sky sensed something was wrong and arrived in time, Reinhardt’s Blue Lion guards were quickly defeated, and he himself was captured.

Afterward, the Marquis personally pleaded with that old man, and only then did Reinhardt save his life and was confined to his home.

And this matter couldn’t be concealed and quickly spread throughout the world.

Hearing that the Marquis, who had made great contributions, was actually assassinated, the people and nobles… all became furious.

Compared to the previous reminiscence and remembrance of Count Liguane, it was all consumed in an instant.

Some people even publicly burned the Blue Lion flag, and large numbers of people surrounded the Blue Lion residence, rushing to the Blue Lion territory to protest… the public’s feelings were so enthusiastic.

Even now, a year later, people still occasionally throw rotten eggs or feces at the Blue Lion family’s residence.

Ryan didn’t find it excessive at all.

Because this Count Reinhardt, two years ago, was a subordinate who went north with that person to seek glory, and in the blink of an eye, he drew his sword against his benefactor.

That’s it, anyone knows that the failure of White Count Ligian was due to his insufficient strength and bad luck.

And it was because he was too arrogant and yet thin-skinned that he was ashamed after failing, and therefore chose to commit suicide…

But as Ryan had analyzed before, the Yaros were too hypocritical.

They were clearly jealous to death, but they kept pretending, pretending until their psychology was twisted. Compared to the barbarians of the north, dependence was their number one enemy.

It was the kind of thing where, I can fail, but I won’t allow my servants to live better than me, and they must have greater achievements than me.

So in Ryan’s opinion, the decline of the Blue Lion family was a matter of course.

But Ryan couldn’t only consider his own likes and dislikes.

This matter was undoubtedly a wound in Frollie’s heart, the turning point that led the Blue Lion family to decline.

As Lady Andela of the Blue Lion family, she even used this kind of thing to sell herself as pitiful… which gave Ryan a sense of absurdity, as if dancing and singing on a grave.

And anger.

But before Ryan could do anything, a voice entered his ear.

[Your Highness, please stay calm!]

It was Frollie.

Ryan was even angrier.

He actually vaguely guessed that Frollie would once again protect Andela, the true “son”.

But he still couldn’t help but feel angry.

But unlike before, he held back and didn’t lose his temper.

This time, the Guardian God was present.

His perception was enhanced.

And because of this, he knew that Frollie’s sadness, pain, and anger were far above his own.

Frollie got off the horse.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness Ryan, Frollie… made you see such an embarrassing scene.”

Stella said with a weak appearance.

“Yes, this scene is really ugly, Ms. Ados.”

Frollie said coldly.

Stella was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t understand why Frollie would use such an attitude and tone.

“Have you forgotten what I told you before… Never retreat, never give up, and never stop thinking!”

Frollie said sternly, “They insult you like this, why don’t you refute, why don’t you resist, why don’t you protect your family!”

The other three were stunned.

Ryan quickly reacted.

If at this moment they pointed out that Stella was pretending and acting, it would be the same as tearing the mask… Even if it didn’t get to that point, it would be very embarrassing and lose face.

But Frollie’s words directly turned the matter into a question and a challenge to the daughter of the general.

At the same time, it was also questioning Stella deep in her soul… Using the shameful events of the family to sell herself as pitiful, letting her subordinates scold her like this in front of others, even if it was fake, was it really worth it?

Ryan silently put away the Guardian God and stared at Stella.

Frollie had already done this, and he didn’t intend to investigate what this person was thinking in her heart.

As long as the surface could be done well.

However—

“I’m sorry, I also know I shouldn’t be so weak, but all of this is because of me, it’s all because I was too arrogant and domineering before…”

The blue-haired girl chose to act in the direction of self-blame.
