Chapter 122
Francois glared at his son, furious from the scare the frantic prince gave to his Father with the sudden invasion of his aura in the Palace.
It was not an uncommon occurrence in the slightest. Furthermore, not perceiving those menacing airs often would be truly considered a rarity in the vast Main building. Yet, this time, his friend’s daughter, the adorable Lady he had developed great care for, had been near his dangerous thirst right after arriving at his Palace as an awaited Guest.
The Lady was frail and her Father, his great friend. A friend who has never betrayed him, who stayed his friend after ascending to the throne, one who forgives his selfishness and beats him enough to not kill him, even though he has enough reasons to do so.
The moment the Emperor felt the deathly waves and met his friend’s eyes, he knew that... Were his son to harm the Lady... Francois would not be able to see the Orland he knows again...
Even after allowing him to take his son’s head or even his own for the idiocy, the Crown Prince could have done... His friend would never forgive, forget or truly live again after such an incident.
’You stupid son of mine... If Orland had reached you..... Even being the beast you are wouldn’t help your demise...!’
Regardless of everyone’s shaken complexion, Lady Marianne lifted her head to glance inside the room, only to notice the standing Duke, her sister, and all members of the Royal Family seating by the Emperor’s table.
’Oh my God!!! They are all here! And we made THEM wait!!??? You Poo on a stick! Look!! My head might roll today because of your selfishness freak of a Male Lead!!’
Completely unaware of what everyone had felt moments ago, the foreign soul reproached the Prince who placed her in a difficult position, ignorant of the danger she had been near all along.
It was only the four guards holding the doors in frightened confusion, who were conscious of what had appeased his Highness’s menace from dealing with them.
If not for the brave Lady’s gesture that attained the Prince’s attention seconds ago... those four men would not be standing as they were now under normal circumstances.
After noticing the unharmed knights keeping the gates spread outside, the Emperor found true relief knowing that the Lady did not witness a crude scene.
