“But Marquis Pol Heredian. Where is Lorencia?”
“That is for His Highness Prince Adrian…”
Ruans, who had found out where Lorencia was from Brant, quickened his steps.
Ruans kept thinking only of Lorencia. It was extremely unpleasant. He became very displeased that such a worthless wench kept messing with his head and wandering around. It seemed he was angry that his own monster, whom he had met every day, was in someone else’s hands.
“That monster is mine.”
The welling anger did not subside.
[This is the timeline separator]With a loud ‘bang’, the door to Adrian’s office opened. Adrian and Lanslon stopped what they were doing at the door that suddenly opened without a knock.
“Ruans. What brings you here?”
“I apologize. Elder brother Adrian. I came after hearing that Lady Lorencia is here.”
Adrian raised the corners of his mouth like someone who had found an interesting toy. When was the last time he saw Ruans looking so anxious?
“Ah!”
“Why are you doing that?”
Lanslon looked at Adrian with a frown at his exclamation.
“It’s because I haven’t seen that expression on Ruans’ face in a long time.”
That face of Ruans was exactly the same as when he couldn’t become the crown prince. That face when he couldn’t have what he thought was his. That was the expression Ruans was making right now.
“Lady Lorencia is currently alone with Duke Teishar in the drawing room.”
“Did you say alone? Elder brother Adrian.”
“Yes. Is there a problem?”
“It’s a problem for an unmarried lady to be alone with a man.”
“Either way, they’re both unmarried, so even if there’s a problem, Duke Teishar will take full responsibility for it.”
If the anxious unpleasantness from before had darkened Ruans from head to toe, an indescribably dirty feeling welled up at Adrian’s words now.
He felt suffocated and wanted to throw and smash the surrounding objects with all his might. Anger surged up. It was as if the rage was trying to dominate his ego. This kind of dirty unpleasantness was a first.
Ruans gritted his teeth. And then he forcefully opened the door to the drawing room where Teishar and Lorencia were.
– Bang
“Lorencia.”
“Prince Ruans?”
Ruans looked at Lorencia. He felt so strange. Until recently, her stiff broom-like red hair had disappeared without a trace.
The gently rippling vivid red hair was lush and beautiful. Her blinking violet eyes looking at him seemed arrogant yet cute like a cat’s eyes.
Her rough red skin had turned snow-white. The lips that were always torn and bleeding had changed to a clear and distinct red color, and his gaze couldn’t leave her lips.
Lorencia looked at him, her cheeks flushed red, and smiled brightly. Through those small lips, she was calling his name and rejoicing to see him. But strangely, he felt bad. And he quickly grasped the reason he felt bad.
“Duke Spencer. Please sit apart from Lorencia and talk immediately.”
Ruans, who had been looking at the beautifully changing Lorencia, discovered Teishar sitting close next to her and became furious to the tips of his hair. It seemed this anger would only be resolved if he drew his sword from his waist and thrust it straight into Teishar’s heart.
“I said to sit away from Lorencia. Duke Spencer!”
Lorencia was conscious of the strange atmosphere flowing between Teishar and Ruans.
“Lorencia! Come here.”
“Pardon?”
“I said come to me! Can’t you hear me? Are your ears rotten again?”
Ruans yelled. At his loud voice, Lorencia’s body shrank back regardless of her will. Lorencia knows Ruans well when he gets angry and yells like that. After getting angry like that, Ruans throws and smashes everything. And after screaming, he corners her to the end.
She accepted all the violence he committed because he loved her. As the past events of her future life that she had buried began to come back one by one, Lorencia’s body began to tremble.
She apologized for her wrongs. She begged him not to be angry. She thought and thought about what her fault was.
Teishar, sensing Lorencia desperately trying to control her trembling, held her hand.
“What are you doing right now?”
The more Ruans yelled, the stronger her trembling became. Looking at her face, it was an anxious face like a small flower being swept away by wind and rain.
“Lorencia. You should reject Duke Spencer who deliberately held your hand! What are you doing?”
Teishar pulled Lorencia into his arms. Seeing that, the veins on Ruans’ neck bulged.
“Lorencia!! Come here right now!”
“Prince Ruans. I wish you would speak with proper etiquette.”
“Etiquette, you say? What are you doing embracing an unmarried lady?”
Ruans raised his voice and got angry like someone who had let go of the string of reason for a moment.
“Ruans!”
At Adrian’s voice calling him, Ruans let out a hollow laugh.
“Elder brother. Please don’t stop me now. That man over there is forcibly holding Lorencia!”
He clearly told Lorencia to come to him, but she didn’t come and instead was in Teishar’s arms. He was so angry he couldn’t contain the surging rage. He felt like something was going wrong but he couldn’t restrain the rising anger.
“Elder brother Adrian. Duke Spencer is interfering between me and Lady Lorencia right now.”
“What do you mean by that? You and Lady Lorencia have no relationship, so what relationship is he interfering with? It seems like you’re the one interfering, Ruans?”
“No! That is mine!”
“Ruans. I clearly recall you saying Lady Ilina was your lover, but suddenly Lady Lorencia is yours? And you shouldn’t refer to people as objects.”
Ruans, who fell silent at Adrian’s question, walked over to the sofa where Teishar and Lorencia were sitting with a face full of furrowed brows. Ruans glared at Teishar as if to devour him for trying to forcibly separate Lorencia from himself.
“Lorencia. The reason you can’t come to me is because of Duke Spencer.”
Unlike before, Ruans’ voice was gentle and affectionate.
Ruans brought his hand to the scabbard at his waist. And he glared at Teishar with a look as if he would soon draw his sword and kill him.
“Yes. It’s because of Duke Spencer. The reason you didn’t come to me.”
Adrian crossed his arms and observed the situation. Lanslon screamed a silent scream at the carnage that would soon unfold in the drawing room.
Teishar whispered low to Lorencia.
‘Please lower your body. Lady Lorencia.’
Lorencia nodded her head and lowered her body. Seeing that, Ruans screamed as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.
Before Ruans could draw the sword at his waist, Teishar moved faster and grabbed him by the collar.
“Prince Ruans. It’s best you don’t draw your sword in front of me.”
“Let go of Lorencia. Duke Spencer.”
“She is not an object.”
“That is my possession!”
To Ruans, Teishar raised one corner of his mouth crookedly.
“I warned you of one thing last time, but it seems you weren’t warned at all.”
“What?”
“I warned you not to anger the snake.”
“Duke Spencer!”
“It would be best for you not to look for her in front of me ever again. If you draw your sword from this moment on, I will not stand still either.”
Teishar strongly pushed the hand that was grabbing the collar, throwing Ruans to the floor. Ruans’ face turned bright red as he plopped down on the floor.
He couldn’t possibly contain his anger. His pride was too hurt. Disappearing in this state was equivalent to not being able to protect his pride.
Rising from his seat, Ruans drew the sword at his waist as if he hadn’t heard Teishar’s warning at all. And he approached Teishar at once and brought down his sword.
But Teishar, as if anticipating this situation, showed no sign of agitation. Rather, he swiftly took out a short dagger from his bosom and blocked Ruans’ sword.
With a loud clang, silence descended upon the drawing room.
The moment the blades clashed, Teishar tilted his head crookedly and gave a bitter smile.
“You really don’t listen to any warnings. Prince Ruans.”
“Die right now! Duke Spencer!”
“Duke Teishar. He’s still my younger brother. I ask that you go easy on him.”
Adrian told Lanslon to take Lorencia and leave. Lanslon passed between the two brutal men, lowered his body, and held the trembling Lorencia in his arms. Ruans tried to stop Lanslon, but Teishar’s short dagger blocked him.
Teishar’s red eyes only deepened after confirming Lorencia had left. He raised the dagger that was blocking Ruans’ sword. With a clang, Ruans lost his grip on his sword. At the same time, Teishar grabbed Ruans by the collar again.
And he clenched his right hand into a fist and struck down hard on his face. At the smacking sound, only rough panting breaths came from Ruans’ helplessly open mouth. He suffered from the terrible pain he was experiencing for the first time.
“From now on, this is self-defense. Did you think you could beat me by drawing your sword and charging at me? Prince Ruans.”
Teishar slapped Ruans’ face with his palm instead of his fist.
“If this were a battlefield, I would have killed you first, what a pity.”
Teishar, who had slapped his cheek several times like that, released the collar he was holding Ruans by. His face was swollen as if it would burst, and clear handprints appeared on his face. But for Teishar, considering what Lorencia had suffered until now, it was lacking and lacking again.
“Ahh… ah…”
Ruans collapsed to the floor, bleeding and suffering. Watching that, Adrian let out a big sigh.
