Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Kael’s gaze fell on the baroness who had fainted, his heart exulted in silent laughter, but his face bore a heavy expression.

The infuriated Baron Bernard stood up, his finger pointing at Kael trembling slightly, "How dare you... How could you dare do such a thing?"

Kael frowned and said in a deep voice, "Baron Bernard, mind your words, do not make others suspect that you bought your title."

Kael’s words made him shudder, instantly sobering him up. Yes, he was different from Kael.

Like Anthony, who could balance the Royal Capital and his territories as a lord, there were few who managed to gain internal approval within the duchy because of his strong abilities.

In principle, if the descendants of merit nobility did not have the corresponding territories, they could not sustain the inheritance of their forebears’ titles.

Title revocation was common unless the heirs earned merits before succession. Under the combination of inheriting the title and merits, it guaranteed normal lineage continuation.

When Baron Bernard was ennobled, he did not choose to go to the border but stayed in the Royal Capital for its prosperity and wealth.

Therefore, though he was newly ennobled, he could not get the corresponding territories smoothly.

This meant that Kael fully inherited his father’s title, which was legally sanctioned within the duchy.

As long as Anthony had him as the only legitimate heir, in principle, even if he had not yet inherited the title, he would still be treated as a noble by the Noble Council in relevant matters. Discover more stories at empire

This was also the case with Elanna.

But Baron Bernard was different, without lands, his child Wels would not be judged as a noble by the Noble Council like Kael.

They would treat him as a commoner, at least in appearances, following common law for related matters.

The severity of common law compared to nobility laws was entirely different.

Kael looked at Baron Bernard with cold eyes, seemingly hiding a blood-stained sword’s edge, making him dare not meet Kael’s gaze.

He understood now, this guy was a killer, not merely abiding by the duchy’s laws, but because these laws coincided with his own way of dealing with criminals.

But if there were deviations in actual execution, this refined and beautiful Baron Helois would show what it truly meant to cease being human.

This guy truly dared to act!

If Kael knew Baron Bernard’s inner turmoil, he might have smiled approvingly.

He guessed right, Kael’s thinking still retained some traits of a player, for instance, if you were willing to talk sense, we could sit down in open honesty and talk principles.

But if I talk sense, and you play rogue, don’t try to talk sense when I start playing rogue.

Isn’t it just flipping the table? I am quite adept at this as a player. If you dare to act, let me cut off the hand you reach out with.

Whichever hand you extend, that hand gets cut off. Reach out both hands, and both get cut off.

If you stay quiet and do nothing, you might just go to jail and serve your term.

If you do a little more, then, like now, there is no need to wait for prison; the sin should be purified on the spot, no retreat left.

Watching Kael’s eyes, Baron Bernard felt utterly helpless. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

What was he thinking at the time, to mess with this guy... Earl Campbell, it’s not that I won’t help, but this incubus brat is tricky.

He even had a terrifying thought, that the numerous efforts Earl Campbell made over the years to inherit the Duke Lion Heart’s title might be wasted on such a small baron.

With such heavy thoughts, he did not stay any longer, rising and taking his wife out of the courtroom.

He needed to inform Earl Campbell right away, Kael.D.Helois must not be taken lightly. To defeat him, it required a full effort!

Nan Ke and Madman’s expressions were also subtle now; this Sister Astate, just how many deals had she made with Brother Kael these days!

It had worried them so much!

"This sister, truly has some madman traits, she really isn’t afraid of trouble!"

"What is there to fear, after all, we are the Undead, no matter what, it’s worth it to exchange a life for happiness."

Madman was quite excited, taking screenshots of the scene through the system panel while whispering:

"I’ve recorded everything. I’ll edit it tonight and get the news out immediately, tonight’s headline is mine!"

Nan Ke nodded and then said in a low voice, "Since we know the outcome, I won’t stay in the Royal Capital any longer."

Madman wasn’t surprised, seeing that this person was a leisure player fond of nature, uninterested in dealing with mainstream NPCs.
