The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 87

“Young Master!”

If Cassius wouldn’t put on the gloves thrown in front of this crowd. It would not only ruin his reputation, it would bury him in the floor.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was on the verge of exploding.

The desire to follow him to the rear lake and watch that duel welled up in the wide hall. However, it was only a desire that could not come true, and no one dared to follow. That was exactly what was meant by the Grand Duke of Berg. A title that placed him above Kellyden, the highest aristocracy in the West.

And so Cassius was to stand in front of Lesche near the lake, with several of Kellyden’s knights. Lesche stood with Alliot.

” ……Your Highness.”

Cassius felt that this cold winter wind blowing from the lake was too unrealistic.

“Is this because of Seria?”

Lesche, who was insincerely checking the blade brought by a Kellyden knight, raised his head.

His red eyes became murderously stern, and the Kellyden knights almost put their hands up and surrendered without realizing it.

“Will you shut up when your tongue is pulled out?”

Cassius’s pupils stop for a moment at the raw words.

“…What did I say that offended you?”

“Who gave you permission to call the Grand Duchess by her name? Do I have to pull out your tongue and throw it to the bottom of the lake for you to come to your senses?”

“….”

A bright blue vein appeared on Cassius’ hand as he gripped his sword.

Officially, Lesche’s words were correct. Seria was the Grand Duchess of Berg. In terms of rank, she was much higher than Cassius’ mother and father. However, Seria was his sister, so he could call her by her name and speak casually. In the Glick Empire, that level of flexibility was acceptable. However, the atmosphere of the Grand Duke of Berg was so bleak that it made his skin crawl.

‘Did he hear that Seria almost drowned?’

But Seria had a strong pride. She had been since she was a child. That was all, despite the fact that her head was pinned down in the lake and she was about to drown. She didn’t even say anything to offend the Marquis of Kellyden, who angrily asked, “Why did you leave without permission and turn the castle upside down?”

Her origin was Seria’s greatest weakness, and since that day she became more and more vulgar, as one would expect from an illegitimate. She swore more often, and as if she was crazy about luxury, she bought jewelry and ordered a dress that was more expensive than Cassius’s mother’s. Once she wore shoes, she didn’t wear them again.

Cassius raised his sword more seriously than ever. He instinctively felt the crisis of death. Only the innocent old butler stepped on the ground, pacing back and forth. After that, he planned to tell Grand Duke Berg the honor of the castle on the lakeside. It might somehow calm down his anger…..

“….?”

Immediately after that, the old butler’s eyes went wide. It wasn’t just the old butler. All the Kellyden knights who were standing there could not believe their eyes.

Pow.

With one shot, Cassius was stripped of his sword. Cassius fell backwards and couldn’t get up. Lesche’s merciless foot stomped on Cassius’ chest. Cassius let out a painful cough.

It was beyond belief.

Cassius was not a famous knight, but his skill with the sword was objectively superior. The Marquis of Kellyden was strict about the education of his successors, which was why the knights trained him rigorously.
