The Villainess Wants to Make Her Husband Slim Down

CHAPTER 121

6 – 11

– Are there any objections?

The murmurs in the court ceased at Prince Julian's piercing words.

It didn't seem as if a single person was going to dispute the verdict. Count Storm looked bitterly in his daughter's direction, Therese's eyes were full of anticipation for her moment. Diana's face was twisted in frustration, whilst Eckhart bit his lower lip in an attempt to subdue his anger.

The final downfall of Camilla, the infamous villainess, had finally come, and not a single noble in the courtroom or excited reporter outside were going to blink lest they miss it.

The judge prepared to read out his verdict. Then...

"...Wait."

A low voice echoed through the quiet courtroom.

"If you are courting objections, then I have one."

Murmurs began to erupt behind Camilla's back.

Everyone in the court and all those jostling for a view through the windows turned to stare at whoever had spoken. People's eyes widened in stunned surprise as the speaker moved towards the stand.

His silver hair lay loosely across his shoulders. The man was so tall that it only made his unusual hair stand out more. His face was marred by specks of sweat, and his breathing was slightly ragged. Had he rushed to be here? Although the exhaustion was plain in his face, those red eyes of his burned with an inner fire, transfixing the gaze of any who looked upon him.

Not a single person attempted to impede him as he intruded into the court. There was something beyond mere beauty that attracted the stunned gazes of both men and women.

Just who is that man?

Judging from his face, he had all the features of a member of the royal family. The sudden appearance of a third member of the royal family, other than Prince Julian and Prince Eckhart, left the room with their mouths agape. But, he didn't pay any mind to them at all.

Prince Julian's eyes opened wide in shock as the man kept approaching. Liselotte cast her eyes down and Gerda's face twisted. Eckhart leaned forward, taking a sharp intake of breath...

Finally, Camilla looked behind her.

And when she saw the man standing before her, she forgot to breath.

Was she seeing things? Why was he here? He was supposed to be far away, back in Mohnton.

But, before any of those questions could reach her lips, one name trumped them all.

"...Lord Alois!"

After hearing Camilla's cry, the uproar in the court began to grow.

Alois... Alois Montchat. The despised Toad of the Swamp, whose boggy domain the hated villainess Camilla was exiled to. But the man who stood before them now was far from how he was described in the rumours and gossip of the capital.

The man looked almost like... that's right, like a member of the royal family.

"Camilla..."

Ignoring the confused faces of the people who stared at his back, Alois stood in front of Camilla. Camilla stood in the very center of the courtroom, directly below the podium of the judge who had been about to pass sentence on her.

The princes sat either side of the judge. Alois turned to look at Prince Julian. Prince Julian forgot himself, and looked at Alois with undisguised hatred.

"Guards, drag this man from the courtroom. He is an imposter, claiming to be Duke Alois Montchat. However, he clearly doesn't fit his appearance at all. In fact, it's like that this accomplice is Camilla's last desperate gamble?"
