WRECK THE PLOT!

She was alive?

''The fourth young master will be the winner.''

''Fourth young lady can't even hold a knife.''

''I heard she always faints at the sight of blood.''

''I heard she failed her first pre-test.''

''She might look like his excellency and second young master, but she is very different from them.''

''It seems she will the first to die in the family.''

''I feel pity for the sixth madam for having such a weak daughter.''

From a glass window of the Langston main manor, Maids in their black and white uniforms could be seen murmuring to themselves. Each of them gathered around the windows to have a clear view of the commotion going on the battle grounds.

The day was the succession battle between the two last born children of the famed Langston family. It was a widely known event in the Amarian empire, especially to the nobility, but only people of the Langston family were allowed to attend. No one, not even the families of the Grand duke's six wives could attend the event despite their connections to the Langston family as in-laws.

This had been the tradition of the Langston family since the founding Grand duke. Though many hearts bore dissatisfaction against the Grand duke for not breaking such tradition, they still did not have the guts to even pass the border of the Langston Grand-duchy. And so, how one would get the news of winners from several successions battles would be through rumors going around in the empire.

As one would have expected, the people present on the battle grounds were the elegant and beautiful six wives of the Grand duke with their own personal maids, the children from the grand duke with their own personal maids and butlers, and finally, the extinguished grand duke of the Langston Grand duchy with his own personal butler.

These people sat in their designated seat while their gazes were fixed on the battle ground below them. In there, two children in their respective training clothes stood facing each other. Well....one of the children was standing, while the other child was on the ground, not moving or showing any sign of life.

The boy stood with folded arms and victorious smirk. His aura exuded a sense of superiority as if he had accomplished everything in life.

'The Langston family has not place for the weak.' The boy snorted with haughtiness as he walked towards the body on the ground.

While the boy was closing the distance, there was a conversation going between the six wives of the grand duke.

''Fifth sister, congratulations.'' A woman in the most luxurious gown out of all the six wives turned away from the scene and her amethyst eyes fell on all the women right by her side. Her gaze was focused on the woman seated before the last wife of the Grand duke.

''Thank you, your excellency.'' The woman referred as Fifth sister returned with a smile. Her pale green eyes twinkled in delight and her aura of arrogance was spilling out of control. She was just like the child below.

The woman referred as your excellency was the first wife of the grand duke, the grand duchess. Disdain flickered in her eyes as she observed the woman's rosy cheeks flushed with success as if that was the end of it all when it was just beginning.

'Eegan can easily deal with him. Though he has the potential, it is better to deal with him before he grows to a threat for Eegan's position as heir.' The grand duchess calculated all this within her mind as she returned her focus to the battle ground.

The other wives followed her action, and congratulated the fifth wife of the Grand duke. Once again, the arrogance of the woman was spilling out of control. Her imaginary peacock tail was high up in the sky and the sight was an eyesore to all the wives of the Grand duke apart from one wife.
