Acantha saw how the Helion threw Count Minaro who was now coughing in blood while writhing in pain she can see that he was walking towards to Count Minaro as he still looks like he was ready to kill when the door opened, she saw her father rush to Helion and stopped his hand.
"What do you think you’re doing, Your highness?" The duke asked and Acantha can see that he was confuse on what was going on. "And what are you all doing here?" He said as he looked at the three who was now in the floor.
The two didn’t even lift their face as they were scared of what the duke and the prince might do to them if they did.
"No one’s gonna answer me?" He still continued as he sighed as he roamed his eyes in the place.
"W-were h-having a meeting, Duke," The Count said as he cough some blood.
"Having some meeting? Is this the new way of a meeting? And didn’t my people here told you that I wasn’t here?" He asked as he looked at the Count , he was called by one his knight that he left at home, and told him that the councils went to his home, he didn’t even heard all the things as he rush his way to his home and use his magic to teleport.
"Th-they demanded to see you, Your grace" Mildred was the one who speak as she was looking at the duke.
"Mildred!" The duke exclaimed as he saw the big bruise on her face, "What happened to your face?" The duke asked as he was concerned to the maid whom his wife treats like a friend and the one who raises his daughter when he was not around.
"Lady Acantha talked to them as they were demanding for the Duchy to send their more funds for their projects, and the lady instructed me to get the ledger in the library and she told them that she saw something wrong with the records," Mildred said as she didn’t answer the duke’s question about her face.
