The face of Duke Vallua, who confirmed the documents, was pale. He soon threw away the papers and shook my shoulders roughly.
"The Duke of Dubbled! Is he going to destroy my family?!"
I could feel a sharp gaze from the bushes. Zachary was ready to pop out.
'Not now. I told you to pop out when my life is in danger.'
He clenched his fist and said.
"Do you think I can't handle a mere child...!"
The Duke of Vallua pushed me. I lost my balance and hit my back against the fountain.
At that moment,
"Little miss!"
The knights of Dubbled, who came running, aimed their swords at the Duke of Vallua.
'They're here sooner than I thought.'
I thought they would notice as soon as I disappeared, but I didn't know it would be this fast.
'It's a little early, but...'
All right, let's do it!
I burst into tears.
So that everyone in the party can hear it.
Surprised by the sound, people rushed out. The first person to come was my family.
I acted like a scared little child.
"Blaine!"
Dad raised his voice. He bent his knees and looked at me crying.
"What's going on?"
"It hurts!"
Dad's face hardened. Isaac pushed the knights and came to me.
"Did he hit you? Huh?!"
I nodded quickly, I showed my red shoulder, and pointed at other places as well.
"Here, here and here!"
I used to be a bluffing king.
I smiled viciously inside, but I looked scared on the outside. If my beggar friends saw me, they would notice my bluffing.
"Oh my god..."
"The Duke of Vallua drank too much alcohol..."
"He's assaulting a child?"
The guests were shocked and murmured, as my family's expression became cold.
I turned my body slightly to block Isaac and the Duke of Vallua.
But,
"Bastard!"
"Aunt!"
My aunt popped out and unexpectedly caught the Duke of Vallua.
"Hitting a child? How dare you?"
Oh my god.
My aunt is not really a saint but she never really crosses the line.
When she heard about the incident in which Teramore assaulted Henry, I heard that she was in a hurry and meticulously checked the brother's teacher even though they were in the academy.
However, at a party prepared by my aunt, he assaulted her nephew, behind my aunt's back, so it makes sense that she was that angry.
Others were rooting for her.
'But you can't!'
The Duke of Vallua is very weak.
All he has done in his life is studying or doing dirty work. One punch is enough for aunt, who crossed the wall of life and death as the captain of the White Horse Battalion, to beat him up.
