Chapter 1443
"Well..." The person on the phone was hesitating.
"Speak!" The Marquis shouted angrily. "Did something else happen? Don't forget how many benefits you've taken from my Poswoth clan. If you aren't able to provide me with the information I want, I can make you lose your status within the imperial palace!"
In response to Marquis Poswoth's majesty, the telephone finally squeaked out some information. "I've also heard... that His Majesty might not have fallen ill. Perhaps he's been controlled by Princess Sara..."
"What?" The Marquis's face changed dramatically.
"Marquis, this is just what I heard. Right now, Princess Sara in the palace has the final say. No one dares to openly discuss this question." A servant on the other end of the line said boldly.
When Aman came to the main hall of the castle, the Marquess was facing an oil painting from a century on the wall. This oil painting could not be sold. It was a gift from the Emperor of Rudan to the first heir of the family, the family's long history and glory.
"Father, you're back?" asked Elsa, who was standing behind him.
The Marquess turned around and her expression was not very good. She did not reply to him. Instead, she looked at Aman and said, "Mr. Emperor, dinner is ready. Please."
"Please, Marquess," Aman politely replied.
The Pochi Fuss Family had always dared to slight this esteemed guest of Aman's.
At dinner table, the servants invited Chloe over as well, but the Marchioness did not show up.
The maid whispered something to the Marquess, who frowned and said, "Then let her have a good rest."
The maid nodded and left.
"Does the Marchioness feel uncomfortable?" As a guest, Chloe asked the condition of the Marquess in a proper manner.
Marquis took one look at Alex, "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Emperor. She is fine, but she has been very sad about the matter of Simon and Lara. I'll have someone send dinner to her later."
As he gently brought the wine cup to his lips, he calmly listened to the conversations around him. Only he knew that his words at that time were a painful blow to his stepmother!
"That's good," Chloe replied with a smile. "Regarding the matter of Lara and Simon, your wife has to take it easy."
The marquis frowned and nodded. He picked up his wine cup and raised it to Aman. "I heard that both Master Emperor and Madame Emperor have been to the police headquarters?"
"I'll accompany her to look for one or two familiar faces." Aman took the wine cup and returned the greeting with a smile. "It's a pity that I haven't seen her."
"Mrs. Emperor has acquaintances in the police department? That's really rare."
Naturally, Aman would not tell the Marquess that the criminal police who had come to Rudan was Samuel and Eathen. He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Reverence. Whether we know the police in Rudan or not, the evidence of Rudan's and Simon's crimes were all investigated by the police of Rudan himself."
The implication was that they did not let the police make any false evidence!
The marquis naturally understood the meaning of Aman's words. After putting down the cup, he said, "Speaking of which, I would like to ask you a question, Mr. Emperor."
"Duke, please speak." Aman sat at the opposite side of the long table.
Under the bright lights, his face was calm and composed. Even in this extremely tense situation, he still seemed to maintain his elegant and noble bearing.
Apart from the absence of Chloe, there seemed to be nothing that could really change the man's face a lot.
"I remember that when Mr. Emperor first came to the family, I asked Mr. Emperor if the family would end up in the same fate as the Nangong Family?"
Aman nodded, indicating for him to continue.
At the same time, she also understood what the Marquess was going to say next.
"I remember that Mr. Emperor said at that time, how could the Nangong family be compared to the Pochi Fuss family? You and Elsa are friends, and you will definitely not make things difficult for the Pochi Fuss family." The Marquis paused for a moment. "Am I right?"
"That's true."
"So, Mr. Emperor, do you still think so?" The Marquis said, "If I'm going to do my best to save Lara and Simon and protect my two children, Mr. Emperor..."
"That's not what it was originally." Aman cut him off. "I've said before that the Nangong family met with an accident because it involved the collection of illegal forces and illegal objects. The Pochi Fuss family is the most appreciated noble family of the Nangong family, so it can't be compared with the Nangong family. But now, Simon and Lara have taken action against the courtman, assassinated the prince, and kidnapped my wife. They have become the stain point of Pochi Fuss family. A family that has a stain but can't be wiped out is not appreciated. Then I will naturally take back what I used to say."
Marquis held a glass of wine in his hand and said, "Mr. Emperor is not willing to give face to both of us. Simon and Lara are my children."
"My wife is injured." Aman glanced at the wound on Chloe's face. "You must have seen the Marquess. If I were to let go of Simon and Lara, that would be disrespecting my wife."
The Marquis was anxious. "Madame Emperor doesn't seem to be in any danger..."
"I don't want to see her get hurt," Aman said coldly. "And my wife may get disfigured. To be honest, Marquis doesn't want your family to be held accountable for Simon and Lara. It's all for the sake of Alex. If he pleads for mercy, I don't want to hear Marquis bring it up again."
The marquis could see the coldness in Aman's eyes.
This man was not going to let go of Simon and Lara.
Even if the royal family let go of Simon and Lara, they wouldn't be able to get past Aman...
"For the sake of the Pochius family, he has no choice but to give up Simon and Lara, doesn't he?"
The Marquess looked at him. There was a helpless look on his face. "Father, it's useless to look at me. I've already told Aman about it. It was alright before, but now that Mrs. Emperor and the rest kidnapped her and scraped her face, Aman has no more feelings for her. I said the same words to my stepmother. Before this, I was able to save staircase and Lara, but now it's for the sake of the family. I'm sorry, father. I don't want to sacrifice the entire family."
The Marquess drooped her eyes and said sorrowfully, "Is that so?"
The table was filled with a sky-high price of food, from dessert of French white truffles to audacious sauce, all of which were as expensive as gold... As Chloe listened to their conversation, she elegantly ate the food in her plate.
Nowadays, she was used to eating calmly no matter how dangerous the situation was. After all, food was still to be eaten! - Love and good food were the only things that could not be let down in the world!
The butler came in and said, "Marquis, Mr. Alex, Mr. Bloom is here."
Aman calmly drank his wine, as if he knew the purpose of this person's visit. He was unmoving like a mountain.
Marquis looked up at once and asked, "What about Frank? Hasn't he been dismissed by His Majesty? What's he doing here?"
"Perhaps, there's something he needs from me?" said Alex with a smile. "He's looking for Aman, for example, knowing what's happening in the palace right now."
