All of this unfolded in a mere three days.

“As well as, they despatched a letter to our household, threatening revenge for those who don’t come and apologize,” Felicia knowledgeable Philip.

His expression betrayed a mixture of shock and disbelief. “Don’t they even care that their son lynched a mere first-year pupil?”

“That household has at all times been moderately peculiar. Their ancestors had been initially executioners for an enemy marquis, however throughout a conflict, they betrayed their masters, opened the fortress gates, and gained noble titles.”

She took a couple of minutes to clarify the Eloy household’s historical past. Having heard all of it, Philip nodded in acknowledgment.

“They’ve a long-standing legacy of treachery and collaboration, intertwined with conspiracies.”

Certainly, their previous was stuffed with betrayal and intrigue. They rose to prominence in the course of the period of the Nice Holy Empire, changing into the Western Hegemon—a incontrovertible fact that Philip discovered so absurd that he couldn’t assist however snort.

“… So that they held the Western financial system hostage to blackmail the king, and that’s how they turned the king’s in-laws?”

The earlier Head of Eloy Household was a shrewd service provider. He spent years strategically gaining management over the manufacturing areas of significant sources like grain and warhorses, finally securing management over a lot of the granary area.

Their crafty and ominous strikes caught the royal household, who had been preoccupied with Northern affairs, off guard.

“And now, Girl Eloy, the Depend’s spouse, is King Velopair II’s most cherished daughter. I can’t even start to explain how stunning and sort she was.”

It appeared that Felicia had a pleasant relationship with Girl Eloy.

“She held me in excessive regard. I keep in mind every time I accompanied my father to the royal palace, she would indulge me with pleasant treats. I imagine she was deeply upset when she realized about being married to the Eloy household.”

Upon listening to this, Philip let loose a sigh.

“Oh, so…”

Felicia regarded intrigued. “Sure?”N0v3lTr0ve served as the unique host for this chapter’s launch on N0v3l–B1n.

“It’s nothing.”

Within the sport’s authentic storyline, the Depend Eloy typically met an premature finish and not using a clear rationalization. Whereas there have been quests to analyze his demise, the reality remained elusive.

‘Maybe he was killed by his spouse.’

“Ultimately, Philip, you’ve executed nothing fallacious. Simply do not forget that and act accordingly. There are witnesses, and the proof is overwhelmingly clear. Apart from, Bleuhan didn’t undergo any hurt.”

“You’re proper.”

Within the earlier world, such an incident might need made headlines on the entrance web page, however luckily, this world valued motives greater than mere details.

Nevertheless, Philip was unaware that some people utterly disregarded societal norms.

Within the western area, Depend Adrian Eloy turned out to be even crazier than anybody had anticipated.

The subsequent day at midday, Privia Academy obtained a go to from a loyal knight representing the western baron.

———

“… No, I despatched a household article saying that the bastard was a bit hit, however?”

Emil Phanoy, the pinnacle of the swordsmanship division, regarded puzzled on the younger knight who had approached him.

“… Dare you insult and disrespect me and my lord?”

“I merely identified the reality. Your actions are pitiful. You’re prepared to do something for Depend Eloy, aren’t you?”

An amused smile crossed Philip’s face, and he continued, “However go forward; draw your sword. I’m certain the Senior Professor will put a cease to it.”

Emil Phanoy let loose a small chuckle however instinctively intervened to stop any hassle.

“Sufficient. We gained’t tolerate any disturbances right here.”

“However Senior Professor, you heard every little thing he mentioned, didn’t you?” Kyler protested.

“I’m getting outdated, and my listening to isn’t as sharp. I didn’t catch a phrase of it. When you’ve got a problem, settle it like a noble in a correct duel,” Emil Phanoy advised.

“I decline. I don’t want to threat my life simply because your sword may graze my armor.”

Philip’s phrases ridiculed Kyler’s try to take advantage of the second son’s harm for political features.

Feeling intense anger and even a little bit of dizziness, Kyler understood that staying any longer would solely result in unsavory penalties. He glared at Philip one final time earlier than storming out of the workplace.

As soon as Kyler was gone, Emil Phanoy seated Philip on a visitor couch and took a seat reverse him.

“It was enjoyable and all, however why did you provoke him like that?”

“He got here right here with the intention to chew me out anyway, so would making enjoyable of him escalate issues even additional? If the scenario will get uncontrolled, we will at all times run to Sir Silver Knight and problem him to a duel.”

The Senior professor nodded, acknowledging that there was some reality to what Philip mentioned.

“You do have a plan. Alright. Simply watch out. Breaking the second son’s leg was no unusual matter. In case you stick across the academy quietly, you gained’t be capable of pull off any grand schemes.”

“Sure, I’ll preserve that in thoughts.”

After replying, Philip had a drink with the Senior Professor.

‘He should be planning to take me away by pressure. Looks as if he’s getting ready a lure. What ought to I do?’

It appeared just like the incident would take longer than he initially thought. In fact, he had no intention of simply accepting no matter got here his method, so Philip determined to arrange himself upfront.

The scheme to isolate Philip started instantly.

“Philip, there’s a threatening letter from the Eloy household. They are saying for those who don’t minimize ties with the Joseph Buying and selling Affiliation, they gained’t take care of us anymore.”

The primary try and strain him via Joseph had begun. When Lisriel arrived with a letter, Philip let loose a sigh, as if he couldn’t be bothered.

“… I don’t actually need to return to the workers dorms. They’re too cramped.”

“That joke will not be humorous in any respect. Anyway, I despatched a reply stating that it’s my private assist and has nothing to do with the affiliation, however might he actually be contemplating reducing ties?”

Lisriel raised her eyebrows. She couldn’t determine what Depend Eloy was pondering. She wanted to know his intentions to give you the suitable countermeasures, however his final aim appeared too imprecise, as if he had been utilizing this incident to attain one thing unsure.

“… May he actually do this for actual?”

After answering like that, Philip let loose a gentle sigh.

If issues continued to be this bothersome, he might need to take motion first.
