Chapter 217
Prince Chrisetos had come to the Voreoti estate to ask about the ceremony of honor held earlier that day.
But the moment he arrived, he was shocked once by seeing Leonia among the knights, shocked a second time when she caught him off guard and dragged him into her ridiculous game, and shocked a third time by the shameless repetition of this absurd play.
I’d better stay on Voreoti’s good side...
The prince told himself for the thousandth time.
If I get on her bad side, that crazy duke will have my head...!
Next to him, as Prince Chrisetos imagined his grim future as a whimpering victim under the rule of Leonia the Mad Duke, Princess Scandia quietly watched only Leonia.
Leonia was bouncing excitedly in front of Varia, passionately explaining just how much joy the “Dark Duke” game brought her.
Varia gently rolled up Leonia’s sleeves with a kind smile.
“It’s so much fun! Mom, do you want to play too?”
“Mom’s fine. I don’t have to.”
Varia declined, saying she wasn’t suited to be a Dark Duke.
“Well, yeah. If we’re being honest, you’re more of a ‘Silly Pureheart.’”
