My FAIR Lady |FAIRVERSE Book ~ 1|✓

Chapter ♦ 48

Zylith.

Everyone has the right to be stupid sometimes. But this gentleman right here, was abusing the privilege.

Now I know what an idiot really looks like.

I looked sympathetically at the bud with all brawn and no brains. Sure enough, feeders do the most harm to your team. He'd just blurted out the treasonous thoughts that no one had dared to say.

You sir, are not a genius!

The one who broke the silence this time was Alexteris. He scornfully raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly, resting his chin on one hand. "So vice general Rottival is really aware that Lady Angela Darling is a songstress."

Angela Darling's pitiful form became even more miserable as she was scrutinized from all sides. My sharp gaze swept over her seemingly innocuous figure, my eyes definitely not missing the resenting look she was giving me. I raised a provocative brow at her as though to mock her for even trying to covet a position she very well knew she was not allowed to, and she bit her plump lips while twisting the handkerchief in her hands.

Whereas the ugly face of General Loghard was one to be relished in. He looked so green that it seemed as if he was at the verge of constipating his pants. I suddenly found it rather fun to see this man squirm in his seat. I could vaguely feel that the general and the songstress were turning my sadistic side on.

"N-No Your Majesty, you've got it all wrong, I didn't mean to...." But I didn't let the general's minion say anymore.

"Then what is it that you meant dear vice general? You just said that Lady Angela Darling is a prostitute and is not worthy of the noble general. Then are you telling me that a woman who is not worthy of the great general is worthy of His Majesty? Do you know how laughable you sound? A woman who the esteemed general feels is worthy of adopting and even feels that she is a desirable woman for His Majesty, and you come around and say that this woman is not even commendable enough to be by your Lord's side? Are you speaking for the great general or are you mocking him in public?" I said with a pretty smile.

"I...I...." The general's minion was so flustered he could only keep stuttering all the way until he was left dumbstruck, with no words to defend himself.

Ah! It felt so great to slap people's faces into speechlessness.

The general's face was so red I feared he was going to spit out blood the very next second. In fact, I felt that he was on the verge of overturning the table in sheer rage.

Buddy, that's what happens when you have losers in the team.

"What nonsense are you sprouting Queen Elizabeth?" Princess Cordelia who was seated beside the Queen Dowager rose up in fierce protest. I could see the queen trying to hold Cordelia back, but she was a violent gale, her eyes shining with contemptible enmity. How could a frail Queen Dowager hold such hostility back? "When did the vice-general insinuate such bogus claims?"

Ai! Just when I thought the limit of stupidity has been set, some idiots raised the bar.

"Dear Princess," I smiled like I would smile when looking at a fool, "If the vice-general didn't mean to demean His Majesty, then does that mean he meant to demean the esteemed general? Or is it the other way around?"

"That... that...." Ah I love rendering people speechless; So much fun, I tell you.

"Cordelia, sit down." Came the Queen Dowager's calm but firm voice. It looked like the Queen Dowager was not such a fool after all.

"Mother...." But a stern look from the Queen Dowager finally calmed the conceited princess down and she sat back down like a wilted flower without a backbone.
