I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 693 - Whom To Believe? 2

’Crang!!’

The garden gates were opened, and in came Landon, mother Kim and several other guards and maids who were here to clear up the dishes on the table.

They walked for quite a bit before arriving at the scene.

And as they advanced, the Gustav’s on the other hand, had ample time to put themselves together.

The girls even dipped their hands in water and hurriedly placed fake teardrops on their cheeks while making themselves seem as if they had been crying for a while now.

And while they were doing this, Lucy’s private security team was even more disgusted and shocked by their acts.

Were they so confident that their actions could make his majesty Landon believe their words over princess Lucy?

Heh...

They must not know who his majesty Landon was.

Of course Lucy who was the real victim here, just smiled confidently as she watched her man approach her steadily.

Yes!

This was her man.

Her rock and her heart.

.

Very soon, Landon, Mother Kim and the rest arrived at the scene and acted neutral.

From the moment they saw the Gustav family’s pitiful appearances, they had decided to play along with them.

"Oh my!!

What is going on here?

Why is everyone so moody?" Mother Kim asked with ’concern’.

And seeing this, of course the Gustav’s chose to jump onto the pitiful wagon to save their skin.

"Woo.... q...queen mother Kimberly.

We can’t say anything about the matter." Debbie said while wailing.

"Why?"

"B... .." Praila stammered while making an obvious glance at the smiling Lucy.

Without a doubt, mother Kim saw it too and secretly sneered.

She had lived within Alec Barn’s palace for more than 15 years from being a maid to becoming his wife.

So how could she not know about all these petty tricks?

"Come on child, don’t be afraid.

You can say whatever you want with me around.

I will always give out justice to those who were truly bullied or oppressed.

So state what’s on your mind to your heart’s content.

Is that understood?"

"Y...yes queen mother.

Thank you for being so kind to this lowly girl."

"Alright child, enough with it.

Just say your mind alright?"

As soon as everyone heard Mother Kim, they secretly celebrated within their hearts at how easy it was to fool mother Kim.

Humans were sometimes very predictable people.

If one saw a child crying near another who just smiled or stayed silent... everyone would assume that the silent one bullied the one crying.

Even if the silent one was innocent, everyone would subconsciously see him or her as stubborn or even evil.

So with this little trick, Mother Kim should have some doubts or dissatisfaction with Lucy for buying them.

But this was all their own conclusions.

.

"Queen mother Kimberly... we were all sitting here and reminiscing about old times peacefully.

But when we asked princess Lucy for forgiveness, she continuously insulted us and threatened to kill us here." Debbie said pitifully while choking on her words like a little child.

"My sister has said it all, queen mother.

We know that in the past, we did a lot of terrible things to princess Lucy.

But that was because we were influenced by those around us to do so."

"Yes, queen mother!

Many people said that she was cursed and told us to act in that way to save our lives.

But now we know better and want to mend our relationship with her.

B...but she kept threatening to kill us instead.

If she doesn’t want to forgive us, that’s fine.

But why does she want to kill us?"

"Sigh...Queen mother Kimberly, I have to apologize on behalf of my entire family’s behaviour today... including my daughter Lucy’s.

It’s very shameful to have you witness this little family fight of ours.

I, as the head, am terribly sorry for today’s trouble."

"_"

One by one, they all came up with so many ridiculous plots that could even win an Oscar in future.

And good old mother Kim was there to patiently listen to their cries, like a loving joy mother listening to the grievances of her followers.

As for Lucy, she was trying desperately hard to hold in her laughter while watching Landon’s pretentious amazed expressions.

He really acted as if he believed them.

Tsk!

What a clown.

.

The Gustav’s expressed their complaints for a bit.

And when they were done, mother Kim turned towards Lucy calmly. The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre

Even though she knew Lucy was innocent, if Lucy couldn’t defend or protect herself against this much, then she needed more training if she ever hoped to sternly and rightfully aid Landon in governing Baymard.

She wanted Lucy to take this as training.

"Princess Lucy, you all heard all the allegations against you from your family.

So what do you have to say in defence?"

Lucy quickly got up from her chair and faced mother Kim calmly.

"Queen mother, I’m innocent of all their accusations."

"Liar!

She’s lying queen mother!"

"Alright.

She gave you all a chance to speak without interruption.

So now that it’s her turn.

And unless you are asked to speak, everyone else should keep quiet.

Now, princess Lucy... continue."

"Thank you, queen mother.

As I said, I’m innocent of all their allegations."

"Oh?

How so?"

"Queen mother, the way they treated me here is different from the way they treated me in the audience room.

After everyone had left, they showed their true colours and asked me to step down as the future queen of Baymard.

Additionally, they also wanted me to recommend one of my half-sisters for the position of Baymard’s future queen.

Due to my fear of them plotting or trying to scheme their way into Baymard, I pleasantly refused.

But then they took it a step further and started threatening and name-calling me instead.

Queen mother, I agree that I did speak rudely to them during our interaction.

But that was all in self-defence.

And as for the matter of them apologizing to me, that’s also a lie.

All they did was give me reasons why they acted the way they did.

Again, I also have my team here as witnesses too." Lucy stated simply.

Mother Kim nodded in satisfaction and turned to the Gustav family again.

"Is there any truth to what she’s saying?"

Everyone gritted their teeth and denied it ruthlessly.

"Queen mother, don’t believe her lies.

My daughters are well brought up noble ladies, and would never dare to seduce his royal majesty Landon.

It’s obvious that princess Lucy is somewhat resentful towards her half-sisters and wishes to use this opportunity to tarnish their reputations.

If word got out, wouldn’t my daughters be called vixens throughout the Pyno continent?

Princess Lucy, why are you so wicked?

Haven’t we already apologized enough?" Elvira said pitifully while kneeling and pretending to cry her eyes out."

"Queen mother, my wife speaks the truth.

Princess Lucy has deep animosity towards us.

So the so-called witnesses that she has had planned to lie against us according to her orders."

(TT^TT)

.

Once again, the family continued their drama.

And once Mother Kim had aged with them enough, she decided to stop the play.

Well, today has been fun.

"Princess Lucy, do you have any other evidence to add to win your case?

Because at this point, if we don’t put a stop to this matter, people will say that we, the Baymardian royals were bullying the common folks."

Of course, the Gustav’s who heard this were secret dancing within their hearts.

That’s right!

Unless the queen mother or Landon personally witnessed the whole thing, they could always stick to their claim that Lucy was just plotting against them and bullying them with her royal status.

They all looked at Lucy as a fool and decided that once they got back to their hotel, they would come up with a new plan to deal with the b**ch once and for all.

But how would they have known that everything was still under Lucy’s control?
