Chapter 40: Lancy's Trap Question

Seeing Huberlian's attitude, Moran's mouth twitched slightly, but his eyes held no hint of amusement.

"Hubert...no one would willingly turn their back to you, something as filthy as you. But I don't mind, because you, have no power to resist me."

The contempt in his eyes was as if he had already treated Hubrian as a mere plaything in his hands.

"One day you will come to me, it's just a matter of time. After all, you also know that you can't find your father on your own... But by then, you will have lost all dignity, I assure you."

He lowered his voice and said to Huberly.

His intention was to humiliate Hubrian, and now he's not even pretending anymore.

Here is the translation of the content within the tags, excluding the HTML tags themselves:"...."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Huberly clenched her fist, but bit back any words she wanted to say.

Even though her heart was filled with anger, a deep and irrepressible fury, she didn't want to pay any attention to this jerk.

And she also knew well that nothing could threaten the enemy's strength, and all refutations and threats were mere bluster.

Not only will it not scare the other party, but it will also make them even more pleased and intensify their behavior.

Even if Huberlian wanted to defeat Mo Dan severely through a duel and give him a lesson, he couldn't.

Mordecai, a Gold-Tier registered challenger from the Sage Academy's third year, is already far ahead of Huberlian in terms of strength. Plus, she wastes this precious first year unable to challenge the Shadow World.

The gap between her and Modan will also grow larger.

It seems I was right. You don't even have the courage to resist me.

Seeing Huberlian in this state, Moran seemed satisfied, even chuckling openly, as if enjoying the sight.

More than just an insult to her, the laughter at Moran's expense was a trampling of her inherent dignity and noble bearing.

“The Duchess's daughter, who was once hailed as a prodigy of Heston, appearing once in a hundred years, is now reduced to needing a mediocre lawyer just to pass the entrance exam for Ectere College. How pitiful.”

However, after that sentence, Huberlian seemed to finally lose it and glared angrily at Mordain.

"Oh Someone's getting angry"

Mordecai narrowed his eyes, knowing that Huberly had taken the bait. The duchess was always capable of enduring the sharp tongues of others, but she could not tolerate anyone slandering her friends. He understood this too well.

Just as I was about to continue playing with Huberly's state of mind verbally.

"Wait a minute..."

A slightly drowsy voice caught their attention.

It seems that Moran and Huberlian's conversation just woke up Ranchi.

He was terribly sleepy, almost drifting off in a half-dream state, when he heard this fellow named Mordain nudge him. That changed things completely.

Lanche's eyes were heavy with sleep, and he turned his head to the side, resting his arm on his pillow as he stared at the two people who had been talking moments ago.

"Mo Dan... classmate You should look up the rules of conduct for Ikrithe Academy students. It's not appropriate to call Huberlian classmate "trash". On page 35, line 13, it states that personal attacks on other students are against school regulations."

Careless words echoed in the classroom, and the air fell silent under this sudden shift.

Huibian unconsciously turned her head to look, Lanchi was still lying down, his expression lazy, but completely different from before.

Mordecai frowned and looked down at the boy who was muttering softly, his emerald eyes like glowing gemstones, half-hidden and half-revealed.

He hadn't noticed there was another creature lying here, sound asleep and completely still, until just now. He hadn't expected the legendary black-haired, green-eyed Rule Breaker to be right here.

However, upon hearing Lance's words, it seemed certain that he intended to cause trouble, which caused Mordan to chuckle.

"Well, I attacked her personally. So what"

Mo Dan's voice was as cold as the winter wind, warning Ran Qi as if his life depended on it.

Everyone knows that these school rules, which only thunder but don't rain, will never have any real punishment.

Ranch's reminders are like a child telling their parents, childishly ridiculous.

Lan Qi, upon hearing this, finally raised his head and sat up straight.

He was fairly certain that this fellow named Morgan definitely enjoyed using sarcasm, just making casual remarks and then immediately launching into witty retorts.

Unfortunately, he's a mental amateur.

"Did you know that the Kingdom of Heston has laws against insult, defamation, and insulting nobility Although you two couldn't technically be charged with the third offense before formally inheriting your titles – it would at most be a civil dispute – Miss Huberlian's application for the dukedom has likely been pending since her father disappeared. It's just stuck in bureaucratic red tape right now. If it goes through, then the moment she becomes duchess, according to Heston's regulations, it counts from the submission date. At that point, she could sue you for libel and slander for insulting the Duchess she is." "You can't escape this with so many witnesses present. Whether it's a fine or imprisonment depends on your attitude towards admitting fault."

Although Lance's voice was calm, there was a kind of majestic authority in his calmness, like a net cast wide but catching everything.

After such words fell.

The classroom, which had been abuzz with chatter just moments ago, fell silent as if time itself had stopped.

All the students in the classroom, whether eavesdropping or out of curiosity, or simply staring, mostly looked toward the back of the classroom.

Upperclassmen coming to the classrooms of freshmen to have brief conversations with interested newcomers is a common occurrence after the start of the school year.

Even though Mordant's words and actions did make some of the students in the classroom feel a little uneasy—the courtship between Lord Mordant and Miss Huberlian was certainly not normal friendly banter.

It is precisely because Moreau's oppression targets Huberlian that no one dares to intervene. This intricate web of personal grievances between nobles rarely sees outside interference.

Nobody was willing to associate with the ominous duchess, and no one wanted to offend Mordain, such a powerful and influential senior team leader.

But now, the first-ranked student of the Sage's Academy can't take it anymore and wants to directly confront the young master of the Marquis!

Actually, many people in the room understood that the charges Lance was bringing up weren't very serious. At most, it would just be a matter of admitting fault and paying a fine.

The sickening thing about the ranchers is—

If he really wanted to press charges and win against Mordecai, leaving him, a noble lord's son, with a criminal record for his actions during his schooling, the shame would be like a brand, a laughingstock among the aristocracy that would follow him for life.

However.

Morgan Gasegirs is not someone to be messed with...

Even at this moment, Mo Dan remained unfazed, not the slightest bit moved by Lan Chi's words.

After hearing Lance's words, Morton just smiled.

"Lucky Lance Wilford, I know you're a little familiar with the law and love to 'shout justice'. But these little tricks won't work on me. I could countersue you for libel and inciting trouble."

A smile played at the corners of his eyes as he narrowed them, looking down at Lance with a hint of condescending amusement at his naivety and foolishness.

As a nobleman, he clearly understood "insulting nobility" better than Lance.

Even with witnesses present, "insult" is only Ranchi's subjective judgment. If it went to court, Ranchi would have no way to objectively prove that Moran harbored a strong intention to insult him.

Although the nation of Heston has strict laws and an efficient judicial process, it is not as ruthlessly severe as the holy nation depicted in the Shadow World of "Winter's Hidden Flame."

Some charges are notoriously difficult to prove, unless you have a lawyer of unparalleled skill on your side.

"Insulted her How can you prove that to the judge Can you read my mind and intentions"

Morgan's tone was laced with mockery as he addressed Lance.

"You admitted it yourself."

Lanche replied calmly.

" ... "

Lanxi's words clearly took everyone in the classroom by surprise.

But they soon discovered that.

At the very beginning, Mo Dan did ask Lan Chi a question - "I'm attacking her personally, what can you do about it"

It's done.

Mordan was outmaneuvered by Lanche's logic!
