According to her script, step by step, the final winner will definitely be her.
But due to Lorne's sudden move, the success almost fell short.
With shameful indignation, if Celine's raised palm really hit Lorne's face, even if it couldn't kill him, it would still be able to knock off the scumbag's big teeth.
Lorne also noticed that his stepmother was running towards him angrily.
Her white and tender palm seemed to have no power, but the shame on her face was greater than the pain.
And the woman's distorted expression told him that Celine would probably hit him hard from left to right.
If this spreads out, will he still have the nerve to behave?
"Wait, I am Baron Lornfast.
The legal lord of the North, you can't" Before he finished speaking, Lorne, who knew he couldn't stop Celine, quickly covered his head with his hands.
It looks a little embarrassing, but it's better than being slapped indiscriminately.
But after waiting for a long time, except for the punch in the stomach from Wendell and the slightly numb right face from Athena's slap, Lorne did not feel any extra pain on his body.
When he quietly opened his eyes, what he saw was an unimaginable scene.
A girl in silver armor stopped the young widow who was about to commit violence.
Celine obviously couldn't understand Athena's behavior of stopping her.
"What are you doing?"
The casual tone is like a familiar friend.
The degree of friendship between the two women was far beyond Lorne's imagination.
They must have had contact again after the Habsburg banquet.
Since they were friends, then Athena's stopping Celine from beating up Lorne was definitely not out of pity for Lorne. .
Sure enough, the girl gestured behind her with her eyes.
Seeing Athena's hint, Lorne also looked over secretly.
In the distance, many heraldic flags fluttered in the evening sky.
Athena did not come alone, she just rushed to the front of the team to confirm the implementation of Celine's plan.
Even the noble families behind were part of her and Celine's plan.
If Celine loses control at this time, it may affect the implementation of the plan.
Killing Lorne openly and honestly is their most important goal.
Celine saw that the nobles behind her also regained their composure.
Unlike Athena, her most important purpose was to inherit the title.
Killed Lorne just because the scumbag stood in her way.
But if she wants to legally inherit the Fast Territory, she can't act arbitrarily.
Taking a deep breath, Celine had endured it for so many years and she didn't care about a few more hours.
On the contrary, Lorne on the side saw the sudden appearance of many nobles as if he were seeing relatives he had not seen for many years.
He was so excited that he wanted to get up and run towards the other party.
With so many people watching, he didn't believe that Athena dared to kill him, an officially certified lord.
Although the girl's status is noble, intensifying the conflict between religious authority and monarchy is not something that a young candidate paladin can do.
But Wendell's fist was too heavy and he didn't have the perverted physique of a cheater.
Lorne was still unable to regain his mobility for the time being.
After struggling for a few times, he couldn't stand up, but he caught Athena's attention.
The cold sword touched his skin again, and with the slight sting coming from his neck, Lorne felt that his skin must have been scratched by the stinky bitch.
As for whether the girl dared to kill him, he was immediately shaken as he was confident before.
"I am Baron Lornfast, the legal lord of the North."
It seems that he only uses his identity to tie up girls.
Lorne, who has no skills, is embarrassed by Athena.
But the girl kept looking down at the boy with a condescending expression.
When she heard Lorne's repeated words, Athena twitched the corners of her lips and revealed a contemptuous smile.

"I know who you are, can you tell me something new, noble Baron Fast?"
Lorne didn't like Athena's smile, because whenever the bitch smiled, it meant bad luck for him.
"You are not qualified to imprison me, as a vassal of the Habsburg family.
I ask for arbitration from the Grand Duke, and I want to defend myself."
As he spoke, Lorne observed the slow-moving nobles.
Seeing Lorne's little move clearly, Athena said without caring at all: "No one wants to imprison you, Baron Fast.
I just want to control the development of the situation and ask you to cooperate a little.
Now, in order to prevent you from appearing in front of everyone in such a shameful way.
Let me help you.”
The girl said she did not intend to imprison Lorne, but at her signal, two knights in shining armor directly lifted the baron up.
The sword on his waist was also taken away, in the name of helping, but in reality, the attitude of kidnapping was so arrogant that Lorne felt angry in his heart.
"What on earth do you want to do to me?"
She wanted to say a few words that were powerful and unyielding to reflect her tough-guy nature, but Athena just said something casually, causing Lorne's heroic image to suddenly collapse.
"Wendell, teach our Lord Baron how to keep quiet."
Iron Fist made close contact with Lorne's belly again without reservation.
After receiving the instruction, Wendell was very happy to teach Lorne a lesson again.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, what do you want?"
Coughing, Lorne surrendered immediately after only taking two punches from Wendell.
But he could see that Athena would not kill him immediately, otherwise she would not waste time asking Wendell to torture him.
"That's right, His Excellency Baron Fast, the pride of the people of the North, and the knight of Princess Habsburg.
After careful calculation, you have quite a few titles."
Athena, who has an absolute advantage, is not anxious at all.
Sarcastically speaking to Lorne, the girl smiled and said, "I just want to invite you to a dinner party, and give me a chance to resolve the misunderstanding between you and your mother."
There has never been a misunderstanding between Lorne and Celine.
There is no possibility of resolving the direct conflict of interest between the two unless one of them gives in.
Since Athena is Celine's friend, it's impossible for her not to know.
And under such circumstances, inviting him to some bullshit party was obviously a Hongmen banquet, but Lorne, who was being held hostage by two knights, had no room to refuse.
If he said no, Wendell's fist would probably fall on him again.
Seeing the guy's expectant look, Lorne didn't think he could withstand the beating of a knight.
"Miss Stuart is so polite.
With so many nobles supporting you, I naturally have to give you some face.
But I need to give instructions to my soldiers, and you don't want them to cause trouble."
The subtext of Lorne's words was to warn Athena that with so many people watching, she couldn't play any tricks.
But the dinner party is just the introduction, and the final move is what happens after the end.
The girl listened to Lorne's warning.
She had won a great victory and did not care about the Baron's tone.
With a group of powerful knights, Athena was not worried about Lorne's soldiers at all
