~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account 😁😁

Chapter 16:

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!" A familiar voice yelled out as the voice echoed through the room just as I had arrived with Vidoro.

"Isn't that... The Marquis...?" I questioned as I caught sight of my ex-fiancé screaming at the knights at the entrance for blocking his path.

The duke and the other two brothers arrived at the scene shortly after myself as I turned to Vidoro for answers.

"The hell is he doing here?" I questioned as Vidoro only shrugged in response.

"I thought you would know, since you were his fiancé once you know." Vidoro responded as I immediately face-palmed, wasn't this kid supposed to be smart?

Who brings a person ex-fiancé to them when they're having a temper-tantrum?

Well, it's not like I was planning on taking even one step further into this room that I knew he was here so it doesn't matter anymore.

And it's not like they needed me here. Considering how the Duke was already here to take care of the situation and all.

'But I'm curious, why's he already back here after why happened last time?' I crossed my arms as the duke stepped forward to interfere.

It seemed like I was going find an answer out to that soon.

"Marquis Quarum, what is the meaning of this?" The duke question as he made his way to the door where the guards had been keeping the marquis.

"Duke Divinus!" Marquis Quarum's face immediately lit up as the duke waved his hand at the knights, telling them to let him pass.

"Honestly! I must say your grace, you must discipline these knights stricter!" Marquis Quarum glared at the knights as he strode towards the duke.

"How I discipline my people is none of your concern. I asked what the reason was for this behavior." The duke glared at the marquis. He did not seem happy.

"Ah, I apologize- You!" The marquis suddenly pointed an accusing finger at me realizing I was also present as my brows knitted together in irritation.

Shouldn't this guys sight be declining already? His brain seems to be but his eyes unfortunately don't seem to be lacking as much.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" The marquis yelled storming past the duke as he marched towards me when Luden suddenly blocked his way.

"Marquis Quarum, please step back." Luden requested but his words fell on deaf ears as the Marquis continued to yell at me.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL WENCH! HOW DARE YOU GET ENGAGED TO ANOTHER MAN?!" The Marquis roared as we all turned to his with dumbfounded expressions.

'The fuck is this old geezer going on about?' Did he expect me to not get engaged again?

"Was... I not supposed to?" I turned to Avis who was standing right beside me as he only shrugged in response.

"OF COURSE NOT! YOU SHOULD BE ON YOUR HAND AND KNEES BEGGING FOR MY HAND IN MARRIAGE!" The marquis screeched as a vein popped out of his forehead.

"Eh? Why would she beg you? Father, I think the Marquis might be sick." Vidoro spoke up as his face scrunched up in disgust, similar to ours.

"You're right, Vidoro." The duke agreed while massaging his temple with a sigh.

"What other reason could there be for him to think that anyone with the surname "Divinus" would beg him for anything?" The duke added a moment later as Luden shoved the marquis back.

"I wonder, Marquis. Is this your way on looking down on us?" The duke questioned as Luden turned to the guards.

"W-what? Of course not! I wouldn't dare! But, your grace, the wench isn't even a true-" "You two. Show the Marquis out." Luden cut the marquis off.
