Chapter 265: The Headmaster
“You are a bit too arrogant, Liana,” the Lord of Darriss Territory said coldly. “I just want an explanation. Why did Ang die in there, and so many others were injured or even died, while only the two of you are completely fine? It’s hard not to have some thoughts.”
“Then think of them. It’s not like I’m stopping you,” Liana said dismissively. “Just as I don’t care what you’re saying and am too lazy to explain so much to you.”
“I am simply seeking an explanation for the injustice I have suffered. Is that arrogance in your eyes? It’s hard for me to say who the truly arrogant one is,” the Darriss Lord said, eyes narrowed.
“Has the Lord of Darriss forgotten what he himself just did? Or does he not want to admit it? I have no need to do something so thankless. And I don’t want you all to have to ‘endure’ someone you’re very unhappy with sitting here listening to her speak.” Face and dignity are things you give yourself.
Right now, she could be considered one of the public faces of the Venus Dukedom. In front of so many prominent people, she could not speak with her tail between her legs, especially when the other party was at fault.
“Hmph!” The Lord of Darriss stood up.
You want him to apologize to a junior? How is that possible?
“Not bad. Someone’s got your back, so you’re speaking with more confidence now.”
“It’s still better than certain people. When my parents were still at home, a certain someone tucked his tail between his legs and didn’t even dare to show his face. Nothing like the arrogance of today.” Liana knew very well what kind of person he was.
The Lord of Darriss felt as if he had aged several years in reverse from anger, but he also knew that saying any more now was useless. With the King of Lisat here, there was nothing he could do.
“I hope you can always be this confident,” he said, and then left.
With the Lord of Darriss gone, Liana had no need to waste any more time here. “If there’s anything you want to know, just ask. The demon race is the common enemy we must now face. Some things that were done to me in the past, I can also treat as if they never happened.”
