Chapter 98 (1/2)

Chapter 98

It started back when Evelyn and the other three noble ladies were talking smack aboutto everything since then

As soon as we arrived at the hunting festival’s venue, I started scanning the place in search of Evelyn And as soon as I found her, I listened in on the conversation of her group

And I heightenedwith qi

Thanks to this, I heard their conversation loud and clear even though I was far away

‘Your jaws are working overtime, huh’

To the point that you’d think Alicia and I were chewing gum for them

In any case, as I listened in on their conversation and observed their behavior, waiting for the right tiet was none other than Evelyn’s glass

One of the three other young ladies pushed Evelyn’s shoulder right then, and that’s when the concealed weapon hit the glass

Due to the fairly strong shock, the glass turned over and soon soaked Evelyn’s chest

All according to plan

With Evelyn’s circu extra clothes, and none of those three young ladies would ever be willing to help her

It was a situation where she was obviously in trouble

And with Evelyn in a flurry like this, I would step up with the intention to help

How very grateful I a scene

For our first , there isn’t any other scene more perfect than this

‘But I didn’t expect them to be so spiteful the moment her drink spilled over’

I already received intel fro down on Evelyn

Back during Cassion’s funeral, I also tried to see if I could find the Riddle faation into ‘House Riddle’ had already been co information on Evelyn Riddle

However, there was one thing that I wasn’t aware of

And it was the level of ‘disregard’ Evelyn was being subjected to

I thought that people were just ‘disregarding’ her in a way that they’re treating her like invisible air at best I never expected that aristocratic young ladies would stoop so low as to do such cheap bullying

This was an obvious mistake

I should have remembered that the world ide, and that there was a whole array of crazy people out there

‘Anyway, the ones who raise their noses high up in the front of you are typically nastier when your back is turned’

Evelyn had trembled like a cornered ht there, and so I felt a bit apologetic

In fact, I felt a little guilty because I’ the situation like that

By nature, being ‘apologetic’ or feeling ‘guilty’ didn’t match Rosetta’s characterization, but I felt bad to see a young lady, as about the sa like that

So, I deliberately did so that was not in my plans

I made it so that drinks were poured over those other three as well—to ot Evelyn out of there with a bit more of an ostentatious flare

Greedy people would typically feel pretty gutted if they weren’t chosen

Besides that, they would be even more devastated that it was Evelyn, the person they had been looking down on all this ti their blankets all night after today’s humiliation

At least, I knew that they wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight

It was a childish prank on my part, but fortunately, this seemed to reach Evelyn’s heart

Evelyn’s face had becoht steps

‘I’ll do what I want, you horrible jerk’

She even left that nice little line for the Evelyn and going this far

‘Cassion’s support’

With the Riddle Guild as the framework, I intend to make House Riddle Cassion’s support base later on

Right, and it’s not that far off in the future

Cassion would soon come back alive and take back his place

By the time that he’d also be qualified to be the duchy’s heir, Cassion would be able to proudly step forward and stand in front of Leo

And perhaps with the skills that he’d show from then on, nobody would be able to criticize hi I’m sure of

Fortunately, the majority of House Carter’s vassals worked under a meritocracy

Since the matter at hand was the next Duke Carter, he’d be tantamount to those people’s ‘representative’, which hy it’s only natural for them to rally for the most capable person to take that position

This was a way of thinking that not only the vassals of House Carter upheld, but basically everyone who usedearly supporters was solected

The opponent was Leo, after all

Leo was also a capable ood as Cassion, as born with a natural talent

Still though, Leo was a es from both sides, so he was more talented compared to ordinary people

Besides that, his mother was the current duchess, Eianne, as an esteehter of a powerful count’s household

Her household bore eneration, and Eianne herself was famous for her unprecedented skills, even before she ed

A candidate who had solid abilities and a decent fa him

That’s who Leo was

On the other hand, all Cassion really possessed right noas his ‘skills’

Fortunately, he’d be able to doht not be enough to stand toe to toe with Leo, who had solid support

So, Cassion also needed that

The moment he’d come forward as a successor candidate for the duchy, he’d need influential supporters, who could shake public opinion to some extent

For money and power to follow later, it was a bare minimum necessity to have support
