Chapter 319: Vernon Courts Aleshia (1/2)
”Let's go home, Master,” Elena said.
”Mm.” Lawrend nodded his head.
The five of them walked together and left, heading towards the exit.
Before long, they reached the gate of the academy.
”D-Dark Angel! You're finally here!” a red-haired man shouted by the gate, and two butlers were standing beside him.
”Hmph. It's you again,” Aleshia harrumphed.
Lawrend squinted his eyes. He recognized this red-haired man. He was Vernon Rubrignis, the one who challenged him to a duel before that he ignored.
”Why are you with her? You coward!” Vernon shouted at lawrend.
”What? Does that concern you?” Lawrend asked with an angry expression on his face.
He was irritated to see this guy. He's like a cockroach that won't stop bothering him.
”Tch. Dark Angel, have you considered my proposal?” Vernon ignored Lawrend and asked Aleshia.
”As I said before, I'm not interested. You're just wasting your time,” Aleshia replied coldly.
”Is it because of this guy? I'll show you I'm better than this coward!” Vernon shouted.
He was very confident in himself. He was the next-in-line Patriarch of the powerful Rubrignis clan. Except for a member of the royal family, he doesn't fear anyone in the capital city.
”What did you say?” Aleshia asked as her face darkened in anger.
”Eh? You haven't heard the news yet?” Elena asked him in confusion.
”What news? The news that he didn't show up for our duel?” Vernon replied mockingly.
”Hey! I'm talking to you!”
Aleshia grabbed Vernon's collar and lifted him into the air.
”D-Dark Angel, I'm not into this kind of kink!” Vernon shouted frantically.
”...”
Aleshia's face became even angrier, and she swung around and around as she held Vernon's collar.
”No one besides Master can say something like… that!”
”Ahhh!”
She released him upwards to the streets, causing him to crash to the brick pavement face first.
Vernon wasn't ready for it. His face skid across the road and damaged his flawless face.
”How dare you hurt our Young Master!” one of the butlers shouted angrily. He was an old man with a delicately groomed beard.
He sprinted to Aleshia, and a dagger appeared in his hand.
As for the other butler, he ran to Vernon and helped him up.
”Hmph,” Aleshia harrumphed.
She calmly waited for him to arrive and easily parried his attack with a twist of her arms. The butler was thrown off-guard by her parry, and he fell to the ground on his back.
”Ow!”
”Are you gonna attack?” Aleshia asked the other butler.
”Who are you?” The other butler asked with furrowed eyebrows.
”I'm Aleshia. Do you have a problem with me?” Aleshia asked confidently.
”Do you want us to help, Sister Aleshia?” Aezel asked.
”I can take care of them,” Aleshia replied.
”Aleshia, what did this guy do?” Lawrend asked.
