Chapter 55

Wahaha, the sound of laughter echoed.

“Hey, Tulia!”

Tedrick shouted as he walked over like the leader of a group, leading a bunch of peer nobles.

“That bet we promised each other before, want to do it now?”

* * *

Tedrick Frazier.

He was the prodigy of the Frazier Domain who always received the highest scores from the White Ivory Tower Pneuma.

Until Tulia took that away from him.

Tedrick Frazier.

He always proudly wore Glory, the symbol of the direct line, around his neck.

Until Tulia took that away from him.

Tedrick Frazier…

He was popular among his peers in the Grand Duchy.

‘At least for now!’

Tedrick had a strong premonition.

The anxiety, no, the certainty that even this would be ruined by Tulia in a short time.

If that was the case, then he would literally humiliate Tulia first!

“You haven’t forgotten what you said about all the nobles below the Marquis House being useless vermin, have you?!”

* * *

“That’s right. You said that at Lady Loras’s party back then.”

“The young lady got completely drunk from just one glass of sherry wine, so the lady had to stop her.”

“To think she got so angry about that and shouted so loudly in the banquet hall.”

“We just became completely useless humans, but well. It wasn’t wrong.”

“That’s right. Young Lady Tulia is a marquis’s daughter after all.”

At those words, someone sarcastically muttered quietly.

“Though I don’t know if she’s really of the Marquis’s bloodline.”

Wow, their hostility is insane.

I broke out in a cold sweat internally.

‘Hey, crazy Tulia. When did you do that?’

No, when she did it isn’t the problem.

‘Why did you do that?!’

Tedrick’s murderous laughter.

The cold gazes of the nobles he brought with him.

No wonder the peer nobles that Tedrick confidently brought along were looking at Tulia with such displeasure.

‘Being a scoundrel really isn’t something just anyone can do.’

To think she went around drawing aggro with such words even when she had no allies in this Grand Duchy.

My goodness, my goodness.

Tulia Frazier, this iron heart.

No.

At this level, it wouldn’t be wrong to say her heart was simply made of diamond.

In a place where she had no allies at all, she went around throwing harsh words that would be impossible with an ordinary mentality.

It seemed Tulia had earned the title of ‘the Grand Ducal House’s scoundrel’ for thoroughly spreading this kind of infamy.

‘…Right.’

I get it.

She had to be at this level to appear as the ultimate trash in .

‘But why do I have to take responsibility for those words now!’

* * *

Amusingly, Tulia Frazier seemed somewhat flustered.

‘Of course she would be. She was completely drunk at the time.’

It would have been difficult to get that drunk from just one glass of sherry wine.

Even considering her young age.

Back then, Tedrick and his followers had played a little prank on Tulia’s sherry wine.

They secretly mixed in some strong liquor, and she unknowingly gulped down the whole glass and got drunk quickly.

That sight was so amusing that they teased her a few times, and Tulia Frazier, that wench, got so angry she was furious to the tips of her hair and shouted.

Statements that looked down on all noble children below the Marquis House.

He was also angry at that moment, but in the long run, it was actually a very good thing.

Because she caused a disturbance at a prestigious noblewoman’s banquet, Tulia was sentenced to house arrest.

‘That wench should have frozen to death in the Randel Warehouse back then.’

Tedrick smiled on the outside while grinding his teeth inside.

Meanwhile, one hand was steadily fondling the bow and arrow he had brought.

He could see Tulia Frazier’s mind working quickly.

Excuses? Apologies?

Though she seemed to quickly realize that neither would be of any use.

He had planned to toy with Tulia even more whether she apologized or made excuses, so that was a bit disappointing.

Tedrick tapped the well-maintained bow with his fingertips and raised his voice.

“You’re a no. ble. and. high. born marquis’s daughter, so you won’t lose your composure in any situation, right?”

Of course, the higher the nobility, the more they valued unwavering composure in any situation as essential refinement.

“Back then you made excuses to Grandfather that you only caused a disturbance unknowingly because you were drunk, didn’t you?”

When Tedrick said that and laughed, the peer nobles present responded by laughing along with him.

His allies who watched his reactions and responded as he guided them.

It contrasted greatly with how no one stood behind Tulia.

According to the hunting competition procedures, most of the adults had already entered the deep forest first to hunt wild beasts.

Lisian was with them too.

Because he was the heir who would become the future Marquis Frazier.

It was worth deliberately watching Lisian’s movements.

Thanks to that, he was able to attack Tulia who was left alone.

‘Of course, Leon Frazier is nowhere to be seen either.’

Unlike Lisian, the servants from the main castle had secretly told him that Leon Frazier still showed hostility toward Tulia.

Anyway, now was the perfect opportunity.

“Tedrick Frazier.”

Then, Tulia finally opened her mouth.

“So?”

“What?”

“Stop dragging this out and get to the point.”

Even in this situation, her pretense of not being intimidated was disgusting.

What was even more infuriating was that unlike himself, Tulia was also dressed very splendidly.

Even in her shabby past, Tulia had made quite a few noble boys speechless with her beauty alone.

Even now, her voice alone rolled like pearls, and he could feel several young lords becoming awkward for no reason.

Tedrick immediately responded before the atmosphere could change.

“The main point? I told you, that bet from before, let’s do it now.”

“That’s why I’m asking what that bet is.”

“You don’t remember, do you?”

Tedrick Frazier’s smile gleamed frivolously.

“You said all the nobles under you are like bugs, and that bugs shooting arrows wouldn’t be scary at all, didn’t you?”

‘Crazy. Tulia. Did you really say that?!’

Yes!

Actually, if it was Tulia, she would have said that and more!

But why do I have to bear this karma again!

A large bow finished with well-tanned premium leather gleamed dangerously under the sunlight.

He’s going to shoot me with that scary thing?

My stomach dropped for a moment.

‘Wait.’

Is that really a bow?

‘It looks quite different from the bows I know?’

What is it?

‘Like how three arrows are loaded at once.

That strange thing embedded in the center…’

‘Ancient Language?’

As my eyes widened, Tedrick waved the bow and said.

“This is a magic tool my father gave me as a gift? It’s a weapon that shoots three arrows consecutively with just one pull of the bowstring.”

“…So?”

“You said you’re not scared at all, right?”

Tedrick smiled cruelly.

* * *

Under the solemn imperial law of the Briyang Empire, all nobles were divided into five ranks.

Duke.

Marquis.

Count.

Viscount.

Baron.

The Grand Ducal House had deep ties with the Imperial Family and was the one family with such tremendous power that it could be called an independent nation.

“Below marquis are count, viscount, and baron. Ah. I’ll exclude hereditary titles and knights. If I include all of them, there would be too many young lords I’d have to shoot arrows at.”

What Tulia had said.

That the nobles below the Marquis House were worthless and insignificant.

‘Of all things to say, Tulia hit exactly on Tedrick Frazier’s weak spot.’

The drunk Tulia must have shouted something like this during her fight with Tedrick.

“Why? Even if people like you swing swords and shoot arrows at me, I’m not scared?”

“Try shooting once. Do you think I’m like you guys? Instead, if I prove it, you have to crawl under my feet like a real bug too. Are you being so arrogant to me, a marquis’s daughter, without even having that courage?”

“Of course, we have different concentrations of blue blood, don’t we?”

Of course, such words wouldn’t have come out of nowhere.

Tedrick must have yelled about watching her mouth, saying that even a marquis’s daughter like her would die the same if hit by an arrow or sword, and it must have been chaos.

‘Sigh.’

Anyway.

“How many shots will you take?”

When I asked that, I could see Tedrick, who had been giggling, hesitate slightly.

Sorry to say, but this kind of situation isn’t entirely unfamiliar to me.

‘When I was Han Ina, even my family threatened me.’

Back then, I couldn’t show any sign of fear. It would only make me look more vulnerable.

I had to act as indifferently as possible, pretending not to be scared.

Unfortunately, to the noble Tedrick…

“I should shoot twenty arrows. Like a noble?”

It doesn’t seem to have worked very well.

“Then promise me.”

“What?”

“If I don’t step back.”

I glared at Tedrick and pronounced each word clearly.

“Even one step from here, then it’s my turn to shoot.”
