I'm a Good Stepmom

THE CHAPTER 30

" From the first time the woman came, I've poisoned the minds of the four boys. I've always said that their stepmothers are evil and cunning women.....

Eric kept muttering, he revealed his crimes, all this time it turned out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

" Women who come only to dredge their treasures, unlucky bearers, and useless women.....

" It's easy to poison them, because they think I'm a good, trustworthy person...."

" They told me to report everything the woman did....

" I always say bad things to them, so they can hate the woman more...

Eric chuckled at his own words, he felt proud of the achievements he had made.

" If they continue to hate and focus only on the woman.they will not realize that I am the one who has been targeting their property.."

" Let's wait a minute, and I'll let go of you, my useful doll. " Eric smiled cunningly, he made Violet his puppet.

While Violet trusts Eric, Eric is Violet's only confidant in the castle, but it is Eric who sows hatred in the hearts of his sons.

If Violet found out about this, she would be devastated, she would definitely not believe this.

...----------------...

The next day, at the royal palace of Laontel.

The royal courtroom.

The courtroom has been filled by important nobles such as high-ranking nobles, and the chief justice.

Sanjay's sons are already sitting in their own places. Gullie the whistleblower and considered the victim, he also sat in a special chair.

But Violet and Edward, they ain't here yet. If it was Edward, it was certain he would have come but it was too late.

The king did not have to come early.

" Sister, is it true that the woman will come? " Ask Berick.

" I don't know. " Jack answered.

" If he doesn't come, he's outrageous. " Murm Arnold.

The three of them were afraid that Violet would not come.

As the tension in the courtroom gradually crept, the voice of the soldier rang out loud. They announce Edward's arrival.

" Honor Your Majesty King Edward Charless Laontel!!!......

The nobles and the people inside the room immediately stood up and bowed in salute.

His majestic arrival made everything bow as if acknowledging how great and majestic Edward was.

Edward walked on the blue carpet gallantly and authoritatively, but he did not escape glancing towards Violet's chair.

| Didn't he come? | Edward wondered.

" Your Majesty please sit down. " Amon, who had been following Edward, asked Edward to sit on his throne.

Edward is sitting.

" Your highness, the whistleblower and the victim are present, but the guardian of young Lord Henric has not yet arrived. " The man in a neat suit with a sort and a book in his hand, he is the Chief Judge.

The chief justice was discussing the trustee of Henric, as the trial was about to begin.

Since Henric's guardian is Violet, Violet is still not here, Violet's nose is not visible, so Violet should have attended the hearing.

Berick, Jack, and Arnold are all worried, wondering where Violet is going.

" Where is he? why hasn't he appeared yet?!! " Jack bragged in an annoyed tone.

" Didn't he come, if he didn't come Henric wouldn't be able to get out. " Arnold mutters.

" The witch must have been on purpose, she didn't want to come to take Henric out. " Berick muttered with folded hands.

Edward who was sitting on his throne, he did not care if Violet came or not. According to Edward it is better that Violet does not come to save Henric.

" Bring the prisoners in!! the trial will begin without the guardian of the perpetrator. " Edward's orders.

The soldiers took Henric out of prison.

The sound of iron rubbing started to sound slowly.

" Henric....." Arnold called his sister, he kept staring at the hallway where Henric was supposed to be going out.

But Henric is still not out.

" Where is Brother Henric? " Berick asked with the same eyes as Arnold.

They were excited to see Henric.

After some time of waiting, the much-anticipated Henric appeared with a thin body, a pale face, with his hands in handcuffs and feet in handcuffs.

He was like a prisoner who had been locked up for many years, his face was different from before, one step he walked as if weak and powerless.

" .....He—henric...." In disbelief, Arnold called out his sister's name with shocked eyes.

Henric did not glance anywhere, he just walked straight ahead with empty eyes staring straight at him.

" Brother!! is he Henric's brother?!! " Berick yelled, he asked if the man he saw was really his brother.

".....What.actually happens....." Jack with confused eyes wondered.

In their seats, Jack, Berick, and Arnold continued to stare at his suffering and frail-looking brother.

Their hearts seemed to fall to see Henric in such a condition.

" Come here....." The soldier carrying Henric asked Henric to stand in the middle of the podium.

Henric shuts him up like a manageable doll.

While Violet had yet to arrive, the victim Gulie looked innocent, she continued to stare towards Violet's chair.

" Gulie, don't know if this is the right decision. " The woman muttered in a sweet tone, for the other nobles present to feel sorry for her.

The nobles were very easy at provocation, those who saw the innocent and innocent Gulie started to speak as if defending Gulie.

" Lady, you don't have to worry. Your decision is right. " The male nobility who participated in the trial spoke.

" Young master Henric deserves that, he's a playboy. " Say the other nobles.

| Stupid nobles, they think everything is the truth. | Thought Gulie.

" Do the trial! " Edward rules.

" But your honor, guardian of—

" Continue!!! " Edward doesn't care that he wants to continue his trial.

From the top, Jack, Berick and Arnold they keep looking for Violet, until now Violet still hasn't appeared.

" Damn it!!! where is that woman?!!!! " Jack spit in annoyance, because Violet didn't come.

" Your Majesty, I will begin. " The judge will begin his trial.

The judge walked around Henric, he then opened his mouth and asked the victim, none other than Gulie.

" Lady Gulie, please stand up, because I want to ask you something. " Say the Chief Judge stared at the innocent-looking woman.

Gulie nodded, she gracefully stood up from her seat.

" You can ask Gulie anything, because Gulie will answer. " The woman spoke sweetly, compassionately.

" Okay, I'll ask....

" You said that the suspect, young Mr. Henric, had abused you, is that the truth? " Ask the Chief Justice.

Gulie replied with a sad face.

" Right, actually Gulie was embarrassed to say it, but that was indeed the reality. " The woman claimed that the abuse committed by Henric was the truth.

All the nobles who were there whispered to each other and looked at Henric with low and cynical gazes.
