The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 59

***

“No, Your Highness. Where can I find a noble person higher than Stern here? She is the Grand Duchess of Berg. If it wasn’t Stern, the other nobles would feel pressured and not want to witness the duel.”

Lesche’s cold gaze went to the priest. The priest flinched and avoided the gaze, but he had to try everything he could anyway. Now that the High Priest Amos he served, had returned to the gods.

He had to lead the unprecedented procession safely without causing any problems to the Great Temple.He was a poor man who was suddenly burdened with a tremendous duty.

‘I will go back to God myself because there may be another accident here.’

The priest was in a state of mental shock.

“…”

Seeing the priest’s pale face, Lesche raised his eyebrows. He folded the glove Kalis had thrown at him, and dropped them in the priest’s hands. Then Lesche threw a grotesque look at Kalis.

“Then call her yourself, Marquis Haneton.”

“…”

The subject was omitted, but it was immediately clear that it referred to Seria. Kalis didn’t want to. He only wanted to change Seria’s mind, but would she come back to him if he showed her his violent side like this?

When Kalis didn’t answer, Lesche said sarcastically.

“Can’t you?”

“…”

“If you can’t, we’ll postpone the duel.”

“I’ll accept your opinion.”

The high ranking priest said, not missing an opportunity.

“Please put your swords away.”

The swords returned to their original position with a high-pitched sound. Only then did the priest sigh with relief. The other priests and knights, who had been unable to move due to the atmosphere, once again paced about with pale faces.

“Your Highness.”

Alliot approached Lesche. He was dismayed to see Lesche and Kalis pointing their swords at each other from afar, but he stayed put for once. As soon as the situation was under control, he quickly walked over and casually reported.

“Everything is in order.”

Alliot would escort Seria to the main castle of Berg. And Lesche had already decided to take only the bare minimum of Berg knights with him instead.

“The knights who are supposed to return to the central territory will leave immediately.

“Yes, sir.”

“And Alliot.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Pull out all the snake strawberry vines from the main garden.”

“I’ll ask the Young Lady when we get back.”

Lesche frowned.

“Do you have to ask her that too?”

“Hmm? Well, as Linon said, the gardens are the hostess’s domain….If you don’t like it, I’ll skip reporting to Lady Seria.”

“…Ask Seria and then proceed.”

Kalis’s eyes, which involuntarily turned at the name Seria, shook strongly for a moment. The man who loved Seria the most was him. However, as soon as he inadvertently looked into Lesche’s eyes, he realized.
