Chapter 192
Somewhere in the capital, in the mansion of one of the most powerful families of the empire .
Five people were seated around a table . Dinner had been served, but strangely, nobody seemed interested in the food .
The atmosphere was tense, and the air seemed frozen . Instead of a dinner, it seemed like someone's execution .
In the head of the table, Earl Carson Riea was looking at his eldest son and daughter with a completely calm look . His eyes, however, were incredibly cold .
Finally, after almost an eternity, he opened his mouth .
\"Can someone explain to me what happened today?\"
Nobody replied to his question .
Earl Riea sighed . He looked at his children with a disappointed look and closed his eyes .
\"I will start with you, Al . I remember that one month ago, you fought against prince Claus, right? Tell me, what happened back then?\"
\"… I lost . \"
\"Yeah, you lost . \" Earl Riea nodded . \"You lost badly after one move and were embarrassed in public . I remember you ordered an assassination against the prince after that and caused me a lot of problems . \"
Al fell silent . Back then, he was scolded and slapped by his father due to that . Since then, he hated Claus to death .
\"I was not angry when you lost to the prince . After all, nobody could have expected that the prince was so strong . No, I was angry because you foolishly tried to kill a prince without thinking about the consequences of your actions .
\"But today, you already knew about the prince's strength . You knew you couldn't win . Then, what was that farce?\"
\"Father, I–\"
\"Silence!\" Earl Riea bellowed furiously . \"Not only you lost and embarrassed yourself, but you almost threatened a prince of the empire with death! Are you crazy!?\"
\"… I'm sorry . \"
\"I'm disappointed in you, Al . Is it like a noble behaves? You are even worse than a commoner!\"
None of the people in the table dared to interrupt the earl .
However, the earl quickly finished with Al .
Then, he glared at Louise .
If Earl Riea's gaze towards Al was filled with rage, his gaze towards Louise was full of disappointment .
\"And you, Louise . \"
\"Yes, father . \" Louise replied calmly with her head held high .
\"Is there something you want to explain to me?\"
\"There is nothing . \" Louise shrugged . \"You already know the entire story . \"
*BAM!*
Earl Riea slapped the table furiously . Louise felt as though a savage beast was staring at her, ready to devour her whole .
However, she suppressed her fear and remained firm . Now that she made her choice, she was going to follow it to the end .
\"You kissed the prince in public, Louise!\" Earl Riea shouted . \"In front of thousands of people, and when he was about to fight your brother! What is the meaning of that!?\"
\"I love him, father . That is the answer . \"
\"You love him!? Hahahaha, what a joke . Let's not talk about the fact that your fiancée died a few days ago while he was recovering from a beating the prince gave him . Just for the fact that he is the son of that woman, he is our family's enemy!\" Earl Riea was very angry . \"Louise, I will not allow you to continue with him!\"
