"Could you calm down, Mr. Carter Theo?" Head Master said patiently, feeling a headache looming from miles away.
However, what he could do.... one was an idiot while the other one... he could not remark anything that.
"Calm down!! You are saying I should calm down??" Carter's voice thundered, resonating everywhere as if he sought to make every ear listen.
"Listen, Alden Evergreen, the Head Master of Nex Academia.
This place is neutral territory for everyone, and yet, you are being biased towards the Fallen Continent!!
It is clear as the sun; everyone witnessed..." Carter pointed accusingly at Adriana, who remained seated on the chair, displaying minimal reaction to the unfolding drama. He continued, "She, the Vampire Queen of the Fallen Continent, interrupted the duel!!
And she hurt the duelist to save her toy!!"
Carter's words rang out loud and clear, his intent clear—to make everyone present hear his grievances. Despite anticipating a reaction from Adriana, he hadn't foreseen the sheer force of her response.
'Damn, she is really powerful...ah' He thought, a chill running through his spine.
And thus, it also cleared a certain doubt he had before... Asher Eli was her toy.
After thorough investigation and assistance from others, Carter had discerned that there was sothing more than ets the eye between the Vampire Queen and Asher Eli.
With this sudden outburst, anyone would conclude that such an intense reaction could not stem from a re pawn, a soldier or even a disciple who undergoing training.
So, instead of acknowledging Asher Eli as her potential future husband, Carter, was consud by jealousy that a re mortal able to hold a gorgeous woman... He truly hated Asher Eli and so he altered his choice of words to 'toy' devoid of respect.
For Royalty, the principles of dignity, fairness, and justice in public perception were paramount. The intentional use of a term that would provoke her anger demonstrated Carter's understanding of the power dynamics at play.
'Now, what kind of expression will you have?' Carter wondered as he looked at Adriana.
Much to his dismay, she maintained her expressionless face, refusing to reveal the emotions churning beneath the surface.
And just like her, Lilith also maintained a stoic expression as she observed her husband as if the situation held no significance for her.
The Head Master shifted his attention between the conflicting parties. King Theo, hiding behind his father, glared at the Vampire Queen, while Carter Theo awaited the Head Master's response.
"Listen, I am not being biased—"
Suddenly,
"Head Master, Council mbers want you to et them imdiately" A black-haired middle-aged man interjected, a hidden smirk playing on his lips as he hovered in front of the broken platform.
Head Master frowned, perplexed by the sudden involvent of the Council mbers.
"You can take over temporarily... Vice-Head Master" the Head Master declared with displeasure.
Vice-Head Master nodded his head, with respect bow.
Unwilling to leave this matter to an untrusted figure, the Head Master reappeared in the middle of the arena, addressing the crowd with a loud and calm voice, "The duel will only comnce when I personally say so" And with that, he vanished.
The audience was taken aback by this sudden situation.
"S-So, i-i-is this going to happen?"
"N-No way, They could never do 'That'... it will be W-War!!!"
"Y-Yes, W-We should leave before this place becos a battlefield!!"
They chattered as they felt sothing terrible was going to happen.
'Tsk' the Vice-Head Master clicked his tongue in annoyance, desiring a bit of excitent. 'Oh well! Today might be his last day...' he thought, an uncanny smile briefly appearing on his lips as he glanced at Carter. Their eyes locked for a fleeting mont before they both looked away, hiding their true intentions behind their veils.
As Head Master left, Carter seized this opportune mont, soaring from the platform to hover in the middle of the arena.
"My People..." Before he could utter another word, joyous shouts erupted from the crowd of Theos Kingdom,
"MY KING!!!"
"AAAHHHHHH!!!"
"OH! I FINALLY SAW MY GRACE'S FACE!!! I CAN DIE HAPPILY"
"OMG!!"
"LONG LIVE KING CARTER!!"
"LONG LIVE KING CARTER!!"
"LONG LIVE KING CARTER!!"
The exuberant chants echoed, creating an atmosphere of fervor and elation among the citizens.
....
.....
"..." Eli blinked for a few seconds, his thoughts racing weirdly, 'What the heck? Is he so kind of cult leader or sothing?' he pondered.
Eli's gaze shifted to Adriana, who simply averted her eyes, and then to Lilith, who also avoided his gaze... even though she was invisible.
She felt his love for her might help him to see her... If Adriana heard this, she would be the first one to cough blood.
[I-I am sorry, Darling]
A telepathic ssage from Lilith reached Eli.
'Sorry?' Eli questioned, perplexed. Why would she apologize? There was nothing inherently wrong with getting angry at soone you loved. Even if it might lead to more complications, expressing anger was a natural reaction.
To him it wasn't wrong at all.... even though he was the one who suffered in the end... Well as husband he would accept everything from her.
'I an if I were to see her being hurt... I'd probably react the sa way' Eli contemplated. After a few monts, he corrected himself, 'No, unlike how she stopped upon my clap... I don't think I would stop unless I eradicated them' A hint of black mist surrounded Eli's ruby-red eyes montarily before dissipating.
Lilith suddenly sensed the surge of Eli's intense anger, startling her. 'W-What? My darling is really a-angry? Did I really do sothing wrong?' she thought, taken aback by the unexpected intensity of his emotions.
....
Not only Lilith but also.... Scarlett felt a sudden surge of anger, causing her body to tremble. She was angry, but beneath that emotion lurked a deeper pain, blaming herself for not presenting there when he needed her.
Despite grappling with her internal turmoil, Scarlett felt a wave of anger not from her but from sothing else....
"Hmm?" A frown creased her forehead as she scratched her neck, feeling an unexpected itch.
"M-Mia, S-Stop"
"Let go, bitch! I'm going to root that bastard into the ground!!!" Mia shouted furiously, her anger towards Kayden unrelenting... She was ready to kill that bastard who hurt her brother.
Mariel intervened, holding her younger daughter who was ready to exact vengeance on the Hero.
...
Nevertheless, Lilith couldn't shake the fear that her husband might harbor anger for causing another problem. Yet, when she caught sight of his lips moving without producing any sound, her anxiety transford into embarrassnt, her face flushing a bright red.
No one saw this except,
"W-What?"
"What is it? Kyra?"
"...." Kyra, the saintess of Chola Kingdom, stared at Eli in disbelief, her face now turned crimson hue.
She was causally looking at Eli... Yes, casually... nothing more and it was when she caught his lips moving, and as she read the unspoken words, her eyes widened with a reddish face,
"I am gonna spank your plumb ass with my long thi---aarrhh--"
There was no way she was going to read anymore...
"What is it? Tell !!" Kyra demanded, her face showed a curiosity.
Even if her sister begged, Kyra wouldn't divulge the truth.
.....
"Your son ssed up!" Rock declared, eyeing the Vampire Queen with a critical gaze.
Richard sighed, observing his son's predicant. If he had been aware that his son would attempt such a reckless stunt, Richard might have resorted to breaking his son's legs.
"Did you even teach him anything?" Rock asked with evident annoyance. Even the most foolish person would realize that the video was a blatant provocation to the Vampire Queen.
There was also the matter of son-in-law's pride, 'Damn brat, you really are sothing to be loved by that dangerous woman,' Rock thought with a smirk.
"Sigh, don't be stupid, Brother. I taught him exactly how our father taught us!" Richard replied with pride.
"Our Father?"
"Yes"
"...." Rock stared at his little brother, thinking, 'You've found the worst role model' but he refrained from voicing his thoughts. Despite their father's shortcomings as a parent, he had been an excellent teacher.
Rock glanced at the green-haired woman who remained silent. He wanted to ask sothing, but he decided to keep his mouth shut for now.
.....
"M-Mother, will Her Majesty be fine?"
"Don't worry nothing will happen to her..."
" and..... M-Mother, please, stop it!"
"~~Ara~Ara~ Why? Is my child angry at her mother?" A voice filled with innocence, adding a playful lilt.
"Arh... Why don't you go to the separate block for nobles?" Amber Fox pleaded with a mix of embarrassnt and sha, her face flushing with an intense crimson hue.
"Hmm? What could this old lady even do in that place?" The white-haired middle-aged woman chuckled, her face and hands adorned with nurous wrinkles. A leaky dam of snot rested on her nose, a detail not lost on those around.
"Arrhh, could you at least stop that disgusting thing!!" Amber pleaded again, her embarrassnt turning into frustration as she observed her mother's running nose.
"Hmm? You an this?" Amber's mother asked with feigned innocence. Suddenly, she unleashed a loud,
"sssssnnnooofffffffffff"
With a resounding sound, she blew her nose, releasing a copious amount of mucus onto her hand, which she then,
"Chukkk"
"...."
"...."
It took a few seconds for the people seated near Amber and her mother to comprehend the absurdity of the situation. Their faces morphed from confusion to shock and, eventually, to horror.....
"AARRRHHH!!"
"FUCK!!!"
"AARRHh! It-it went-Mout-- my M-outha--aaarhh!! VVVOOWWWW!!!"
"M-My 20 C DREEESSS!!!"
"VVOOO!!!"
"MY EEEYYEESSSS!!!!!!"
"WWOO!!!'
The students around them, now covered in mucus, cried out in agony as they fled the scene, rushing toward the restroom.
"MOTHER!!" Amber scolded her mother with disbelief and embarrassnt. As the vice president of the Student Council, she couldn't fathom how her mother could behave in such a manner.
"It's fine..." Amber's mother, with a wrinkled face, smiled at her daughter, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. 'How dare those damn brats try to hit on my daughter on my watch? Hmph!!' she thought with a sense of satisfaction.
"Arrrhh" Amber grumbled.
"For a re baroness, you really have so guts" a small, childish voice chid in.
Amber's mother turned her attention to the side and spotted a small, white-haired girl who appeared to be around 10 years old... a loli in appearance.
Smiling, Amber's mother responded, "Well, you guys asked for my help in the first place."
The white-haired loli remained silent, turning her head to gaze at a black-haired boy who, in turn, was casting a longing glance at a silky, black-haired girl, who seed even more beautiful than before.
"Jay" The loli called.
"Y-Yes, moth-pff--ther?-ppff-" Jayvald, the black-haired boy, glanced at his loli mother with trembling lips, as if on the verge of laughter.
"Don't focus on won! Zera will co to you if you make yourself best" She commanded with a serious expression, redirecting his attention back to the arena.
"Tsk" Jayvald audibly clicked his tongue, visibly annoyed by the interruption.
Near them,
"Rize, Austin" another white-haired middle-aged woman called.
"Yes, Mother"
"Yes, Mom"
Rize and Austin Alpha promptly took their seats on either side of the white-haired middle-aged woman.
"It's getting boring. Can I go now?"
"...M-Mother?" Rize stamred in surprise.
"Yeah, we can leave. Why should we watch this shitty fight? and It seems like nothing will happen to our A-Adriana" Austin declared, standing up and making a quick exit, seizing the opportunity before his mother could change her mood.
What's more, He couldn't see clearly his first crush.... The Vampire Queen.
Observing Austin's departure, Jayvald also rose from his seat and left as if he didn't want his mother to bother him.
Both mothers sighed in unison. Especially Austin's mother, if anyone heard him calling Vampire Queen's na without respect she wasn't sure what would happen to her son.... Truly a pain in the ass.
Mothers had hoped to witness what had captivated the Vampire Queen's interest in a re mortal, and they had wanted their children to recognize the capabilities of that mortal.... it might made them realize why Vampire Queen was interested in a re mortal rather than any other genius.
Due to Dungeon Walker's incident, they had been a little worried but after so serious talks and training..... The Enter Domain Rank
Yesterday marked the day when their children had finally reached the Domain Realm faster than anyone attained the sa age.
Without wasting any ti, their children eagerly went to Class to show off to soone they considered an enemy.
Everyone had been shocked the day before, witnessing the sudden appearance of so many domain rankers.
Girls finally understood those boys really worked hard to match up a mortal. It only made them more interested in Mortal than those who worked hard.
However, the supposed adversary wasn't present, and before they could ask him to duel, soone else had already taken the chance.
They were truly frustrated....
"M-Mother?" Rize called her mother in fact.... she was her mother-in-law.
Seeing the pleading look in Rize's eyes which was very rare, her mother-in-law sighed and offered a sowhat resigned response, "Well, let's wait and see..."
Rize's Mother-in-law was truly bored. She only ca here for the fight, not so lengthy drama.
And She even knew nothing was going to happen even if their king broke the rule... it was only going to be a just lengthy drama... That's all.
"Hmm"
"Are you okay, Pearl?" Amber asked, observing her friend's peculiar behaviour.
"Pearl?" she questioned again when Pearl seed lost in thought.
"Ah? Yes, I am fine," Pearl replied with a peculiar expression. Leaning towards Amber, she inquired with a husky tone, "D-Do I sll?"
"...." Before she could respond with a weird expression.
"HEY, ARE YOU LISTENING, MORTAL???"
A thunderous voice shattered the prevailing mumbles.
Eli, who had deliberately ignored Carter Theos monts ago, now turned his attention to him.
"Your sponsor made my country's biggest Hero kneel. For what? For her 'Toy'"
"Is this any other reasonable way for an Emperor to harm a re Domain Ranker?
Is there no dignity among the people of the Fallen?
Are you all ruthless and mindless monsters?
Is this how you Fallens all always like acting like a coward, backstabbing people and using her authority on a normal person?
D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G!!" Carter's words echoed throughout the arena.
His accusations cut deep, causing the Fallen people to turn bright red with a mix of anger and sha.
"You da--"
Before any of the Fallen could unleash their retorts, Eli interrupted,
"By the way..... Who the hell are you again?"
