“Wait, Luna! Didn’t you say let’s reconcile? It was a letter saying you’d reconcile! Did you deceive me? Is that this the way you betray me!?”

Luna furiously pushed away his accusing hand. He will need to have grabbed it very arduous as a result of even when she shoved it away, she felt ache.

As Luna pushed Fersen away, Baron and Royer shortly stepped in entrance of him.

“Younger lord! What on earth are you doing?”

“Guards! Guards!”

Startled by the sudden commotion, the guards surrounded Fersen. Polkan rushed over, shouting on the guards in anger.

“How dare you deal with the younger Duke like this! Can’t you let go of him?!”

It was full chaos. In the meantime, Fersen demanded the reality from Luna, who, holding her painful wrist, opened her mouth in disbelief.

“Betrayal? I merely submitted the info you advised me as proof. What betrayal are you speaking about? Did I manipulate the letter? And when did I point out reconciliation?”

“I distinctly keep in mind your letter speaking about reconciliation!”

Fersen couldn’t include his anger at Luna’s response, which sounded as if she was listening to about it for the primary time.

“What are you speaking about? I discussed I’d assume positively about our relationship if the misunderstanding is cleared up, however I by no means mentioned something about reconciliation.”

“…What?”

“That’s identical to you, isn’t it? Saying issues your approach, decoding them your approach. And as per the letter, I did assume positively, however I spotted it simply can’t be. That’s why I didn’t drop the fees.”

How does it really feel now? Getting a style of your individual medication? Luna smirked.

Fortunately, it appeared Fersen lastly understood, his face turning pale.

The mix of the cost, the letter, and Luna’s blunt phrases made him stagger as if he would collapse.

“How… how might you do that to me? Was it Antes? Was he behind this!?”

Simply when it appeared he understood, Fersen proved himself flawed as soon as extra. He blamed the whole lot destructive in his life on Antes.

Luna, who most likely knew he wouldn’t perceive regardless of what number of occasions it was defined, determined this was the top of their relationship. With none lingering regrets, she gave him one last blow.

“I’ve advised you time and time once more, whether or not it’s Antes or anybody else, I simply genuinely dislike you. Even when solely the 2 of us have been left on this world, I’d relatively die than be associates with you.”

“…”

“On second thought, I worth my life an excessive amount of, so I’d most likely kill you first. Why ought to I die due to you? So please disappear earlier than the subsequent trial until you need to attend in spirit.”

Having mentioned her piece, Luna took the arms of Royer and Baron and coldly left the courtroom.

Though she threatened with a lawsuit, the actual shock to Fersen was Luna’s assertion about desirous to kill him. He was frozen in place, not even blinking.

“I believed Girl Peils was keen on younger lord Rorian? I heard she even tried to intervene along with his relationship with younger woman Granada.”

“What precisely is occurring right here?”

“I believe she tried one thing, and when it didn’t work out, she’s retaliating.”

“This appears a bit excessive… This time, it’s clearly younger lord Rorian’s fault.”

The spectators who hadn’t left the courtroom have been murmuring amongst themselves. The state of affairs was past embarrassing. Staying any longer would simply make them a spectacle.

Polkan, seeing Fersen in shock, shortly escorted him out of the courtroom.

* * *

Luna had betrayed him. Luna, who was enchanted by Antes, selected him over Fersen.

After receiving Luna’s letter, he had hoped their relationship would possibly get better. However ultimately, it was all a ploy, a lie. Contained in the carriage heading again to his mansion, Fersen buried his face in his fingers.

‘How might Luna do that to me?’

He thought her fixed rejections have been simply playful teasing, given Luna’s simple persona.

And he had believed she was solely looking for his consideration, particularly after he began relationship Seira, even to the purpose of breaking ties.

No, it will need to have been the case. He was certain. His senses had advised him. He was sure of it.

However now, to listen to in any other case was unbelievable. The belief that Luna despised him was arduous to digest.

And he resented her. Luna, who had deceived and deluded him all this time. And Antes, who proudly stole what was his.

Upon reflection, Antes was all the time the problem. He all the time tried to steal what Fersen had.

Despite the fact that Fersen had been vigilantly guarding the whole lot, now Antes had stolen Luna from him. That’s to not say he forgave Luna for going together with it.

“…I received’t let this slide.”

Fersen, wiping his tear-streaked face with the again of his hand, harbored a rage.

He wouldn’t forgive the 2 individuals who had dared to ship him a deceitful letter, inflicting him to fall into the abyss.

Returning to his mansion, Fersen instantly ran to his room to search out Luna’s letter. It was the primary letter he had ever obtained from her, and he had saved it secure in a spot the place nobody might discover it.

Unable to include his anger, he tore the letter to shreds and commenced throwing objects round.

In the meantime, listening to that Fersen had returned, the Duke, accompanied by his butler, got here in search of him.

“My, My Lord…!”

The servant exterior his room, not figuring out what to do, hurriedly bowed.

It was clear that Fersen was in a frenzy, and a lightning strike of wrath was imminent. The servant closed his eyes tightly.

However opposite to expectations, the Duke merely gazed on the ranting Fersen, who was pouring out resentment.

He neither acquired indignant nor rebuked him. The Duke’s eyes have been calm. He watched Fersen, who was resenting Luna and Antes, till Polkan appeared late.

“You misplaced the trial?”

“Lord Fersen wrote a confession letter, tricked by that Peils lady. He didn’t even point out it… He even handed it to her brazenly in courtroom. There was no stopping it…!”

Polkan, anticipating a burst of anger, replied tensely. The butler was additionally apprehensive.

However unexpectedly, the Duke didn’t get indignant. With out even glancing at Polkan, he spoke.

“Submit a report. As detailed as attainable. Don’t pass over a single element.”

“…?”

“Proper now.”

Caught off guard by the sudden order, Polkan hurriedly bowed and left the room. As soon as he was gone, the Duke spoke once more.

“I mentioned I’d kill her if we misplaced the trial, but it surely looks like she’s out of his sight, and I don’t notably really feel prefer it now.”

He even introduced proof. Whereas it was ridiculous to lose the trial, parting methods with the annoying lady felt liberating.

His anger was clear, which might make it simpler to mould an acceptable successor. The misplaced honor could possibly be redeemed, making it virtually like gaining one thing larger.

“Ensure he doesn’t fall for that lady once more. Use Seira Granada or another person to make sure he doesn’t revert to his previous methods. Mildew him right into a worthy successor of the ducal home.”

“Sure, I perceive.”

After all, that didn’t imply he’d stand idly by.

“Eradicate the one who precipitated the mess. Quietly. They have to pay the worth.”

Since eliminating Fersen was out of the query, a scapegoat was wanted to bear the brunt of the Duke’s anger.

“…Sure.”

“And don’t neglect to suppress the rumors. Ensure I by no means hear of at this time’s incident once more. As soon as issues settle down, take care of that damned household as properly.”

“Sure.”

These have been his last phrases. The Duke gestured to the butler, signaling him to deal with the duties.

The butler hurriedly contemplated the duties. With a mountain of duties, he prioritized crucial ones.

First, discover the trial spectators and silence them.

Whereas these with unfastened lips might need already unfold rumors, they couldn’t have gone far.

Whereas it is likely to be completely different if it unfold throughout the continent, if just one or two folks knew, there was room for harm management. In addition to, with the involvement of the ducal household, nobody would brazenly blab.

Second, assign somebody strong-willed to Fersen’s aspect to assist him regain his composure.

This required some sacrifice and energy. Due to this fact, Seira Granada, his lover, was probably the most appropriate.

‘Come to think about it, I haven’t been paying consideration on account of being busy, however Seira hasn’t been visiting recently. Did they maybe have a combat?’

Though Fersen had been confined for some time, it was not like Seira to not contact him in any respect. She all the time proactively sought him out, all the time by his aspect.

‘Currently, younger grasp Fersen has been distracted by one other lady. Perhaps younger woman Seira felt harm.’

First, he wanted to contact her. Nobody might calm Fersen’s coronary heart like she might.

With duties decided, the butler’s steps quickened. He had to make sure no additional hurt got here to the ducal household’s repute.

Returning to his workplace, the butler looked for paper and a pen. The recipient was Seira Granada.
