"Damn it, you're a... Roar!"

Hearing Lyon's words, Herterudie exerted a little more force, her eyes filled with pleasure.

[As expected, this Bartofalt really deserves a beating...]

A moment later, Lyon looked at the mark on his hand, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's alright, Leon."

Sensing the sorrow in Leon's eyes, Angelica put down what she was holding, hugged him, and gently comforted him.

Seeing this, Olivia and Clarice rushed forward to comfort him, and for a moment, Lyon was immersed in a beautiful sea of ​​fragrance.

Seeing this, Helterudie paused slightly while drinking her tea, then suppressed the strange thought and took a big gulp of black tea.

After calming her breathing slightly, Helterutti said without turning her head, "Bartofarth, that marquis came to see me again a while ago. He wanted to frame you. Be careful lately, okay?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Leon's eyes as he listened to Herterudi's instructions.

"I never expected that you, who hate me the most, would not join forces with that marquis. It's truly surprising."

Upon hearing this, Helterudi took another sip of black tea.

“Bartofarth, I’m not as bad as you think. Although I dislike you, I’m still grateful for your actions in stopping the second prince. Besides, I think you were prepared, right? There’s absolutely no need for me to clash with you now. Who knows, you might even leave the kingdom soon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Helterudi rose from her chair, gave Lyon a slight bow, and said, "Lyon von Bartofalt, I sincerely invite you to come to the Duchy. The Duchy can offer you much more!"

As Hertelte's call to action faded, the three women who had been comforting Lyon immediately stood up, looking at her with some anger.

"Livia, Angela, and Kula. We know you're very angry about what I said. But no matter how much Sister Milenu takes care of Leon, as long as that fool is above her, Leon will never get ahead!"

"But our Duchy of Van'os is different! We can trust and support you one hundred percent, as long as you can make the Duchy of Van'os stronger! Come, Leon von Bartofalt! My princess of the Duchy of Van'os, Helterudi Sera Van'os, the first in line to the throne, extends an invitation to you!"

Herteruti's words grew increasingly excited, and she walked up to Leon, her black eyes filled with sincerity, though the two small fangs she revealed made Leon's heart flutter.

But sometimes, being a man means facing challenges head-on. Although he's only one step away from being a man, he still has to take the plunge.

So, after taking a deep breath, Lyon straightened up, walked up to Helterudi, and looked at her with a serious and earnest gaze.

Faced with Lyon's gaze, Helterudi subconsciously lowered her head, but soon stubbornly raised her eyes to meet his gaze!

[Rudy, as a princess, you can't let this annoying guy scare you!]

“Hertelle Sera Van Os, I, Leon von Bartofart, need to ask you a few questions before I answer your question.”

"Please say."

"First, what do you think is the foundation of a country? Second, what is your attitude towards those bloodsucking nobles? Third, do you have the courage to suppress voices against reform?"

For a country still in the feudal stage, Lyon's plan could not be described as a reform; a more appropriate term would be revolution!

Hearing the three questions from Leon, Helterudi paused for a moment, then looked at Leon again with her beautiful black eyes.

“Bartofarth, I used to think that the foundation of a nation was its nobles, but through you I have come to realize that a nation’s strength is inseparable from the ‘people’ you speak of! I used to be afraid, but I am not now! As long as you are willing to come to our Duchy of Vanos, we are willing to support you with all our might.”

As Helterudi spoke, her fangs were revealed again, and her gaze fell on the hand bearing the bite marks of herself.

"However, even if I were willing to do so, my dislike for you would not change."

Upon hearing this, a dark line immediately appeared on Leon's face.

[So what if I trapped you, said you have small breasts, and said you're a bit heavy? Is it necessary to hold a grudge for so long?]

Although he was speechless at Helterudi's behavior, Leon sighed slightly and answered her seriously.

“Hertelte, if you treated me like this when that wicked man forced me to take risks, I would have helped you without hesitation. It’s just a pity that I can’t now.”

After hearing Lyon's answer, Helterudi nodded slightly and then raised her gaze.

“I understand, Bartofalt. If I had met you then, I would have kept you without hesitation!”

Seeing the serious look on Herterudie's face, Leon simply smiled slightly.

Time cannot be reversed, at least not this version of myself on this timeline.

"Leon~".

Olivia walked up to the three who had become serious, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's okay, nothing will happen. I told you, you have to believe me."

Seeing the lingering sorrow on Olivia's face, Leon kissed her without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Helterudie immediately felt a heat rising from her neck to her cheeks, and without hesitation, she turned around and sat down in the chair.

"You really have no shame. Can't you see I'm still here?"

"Hey, Helterudi, you actually said it out loud?"

Leon gently pursed his lips, released Olivia, walked to the tea set, brewed a fresh cup of tea, and smiled faintly.

"Master, those guys will be here very soon."

Luciano’s angry voice came through the headset.

"I understand, Lucaccion."

Leon's strange voice drew the attention of the four people who were whispering to each other.

"Leon, what happened?"

"Leon, will everything be alright?"

"Lyon, do you need our family's help?"

Looking at the three people in front of him who were worried about him, and Helterudie who was deep in thought, Leon simply shook his head and smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Kuraris.

"Kura, I know it's hard to get you to obey, so if there's anything you want to do, go find Daniel and Raymond. If they don't want to, then take good care of them; I'll be out soon."

"What do you mean 'coming out soon'? Lyon, what are you hiding from us?"

The rather impulsive Angelica stood up abruptly and slammed her hands angrily on the table.

"Angie, it seems the royal palace has already made a decision. They want to get their hands on Lyon's lost artifact!"

Herterudi looked at Lyon with a strange gaze, her face full of confusion.

[Why didn't that annoying guy run away when he clearly knew this would happen? The Lost Item is powerful, but he's completely unprotected right now!]

"No! This is absolutely unacceptable! Kula, let's go find Father and the others right now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Angelica prepared to walk out with Kuraris, but there was a knock at the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Your Excellency Lyon, may we go in?"

The familiar voice carried a bitter smile, and Leon's eyes immediately turned to him.

"Claire, I didn't expect it would be you who came."

"Claire, I didn't expect it would be you who came."

At the doorway, Claire listened to Leon's words and gave a bitter, self-deprecating laugh.

“Lyon, I don’t believe you’re that kind of person. It’s just that His Majesty gave the order, and I… I really…”

As they were talking, Claire opened the door and walked in, her face full of apology, followed by the temple bishop who had been driven away by Leon.

"It's alright, Claire. You were just following orders, there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, the evidence is more than enough to warrant charges, isn't it? I believe His Majesty wouldn't resort to torture to extract a confession."

Lyon's voice carried a hint of mockery, which made Claire feel even more bitter inside.

[Leon, someone as clever as you must have already thought of this. How could His Majesty not have done this? I hope Her Highness the Princess can protect you...]

"Lyon, I will investigate as thoroughly as possible the matter of your alleged collusion with the Duchy. I believe you have been framed!"

"Alright, Officer Claire. You've been talking for too long; His Majesty might be..."

The temple bishop couldn't help but interrupt when he saw Leon and his companion trying to continue their conversation. His lips and eyes were full of disdain and mockery, making him look like a despicable person kicking someone when they're down.

The temple knights behind him stepped forward after the temple bishop finished speaking, ready to forcibly take Leon away.

However, in this non-threatening situation, Leon would not avoid them as before, so he immediately looked over and openly displayed his killing intent to them.

"you……"

"You can give it a try!"

Hearing these chilling words, the temple bishop's eyes immediately filled with fear, and he instinctively hid behind Claire. The temple knights, on the other hand, stopped in their tracks and lowered their heads.

"A bunch of useless trash! I really don't know what contribution you've made to the country!"

Lyon's disdainful mockery rang out. Although the temple bishop felt extremely angry inside, he kept silent and looked down at his feet.

“Let’s go, Claire. This kind of insect is not worthy to speak to me.”

After ruffling the hair of Olivia and the other two in turn, Leon strode out, his haughty demeanor making it seem as if he wasn't the prisoner being taken away, but rather the temple bishop and the others behind him.

Inside the classroom, Olivia and her two companions quickly made a decision after Leon left.

They're looking for Daniel and Raymond, the two who could potentially corrupt Lyon!

Inside the academy's courtyard, Julius, who had come looking for Marie, saw Leon surrounded by a crowd and immediately called out to a first-year student beside him.

"What happened?"

Feeling the force coming from behind, the boy clearly wanted to shake it off, but when his eyes met Julius's, he immediately submitted.

"Your Highness, it is Viscount Lyon who has been arrested because he was reported for colluding with the Duchy."

"Colluding with the principality? Impossible! The captain isn't that kind of person."

Upon hearing the new student's words, Julius ran towards the camp of the Saintess Guard without any hesitation. He then saw Daniel, whose eyes held a dangerous glint, leading the guard members to confront the soldiers who were trying to take over the camp.

…………

Late at night, Leon stared blankly at the empty cell opposite him, where he was all alone.

"Master, are you worried?"

As Luciano looked at Lyon, his own form materialized, his crimson eyes filled with a terrifying light.

"No, why would I worry? I brought the latest model of portable individual combat armor with me. I'm just wondering why no one has come to threaten or force me to hand over Barutona? At the very least, they should subject me to some kind of torture."

Lyon leaned against the simple, hard stone bed in his cell, looking at the night sky framed by the small cell window with great boredom.

“Master, don’t you remember that you caused Barutona to leave the port?”

"Really? I don't remember."

Lyon was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, recalling in his mind when he had ever given such an order.

"The third contingency plan mentioned the master."

Luciano projected Lyon's Plan No. 3 into the air with a very apt tone, his voice carrying a hint of teasing.

She enjoys slapping her forgetful master in the face like this.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. What are the plans at the royal palace, and what's the situation in the duchy?"

"Master, the Royal Palace's approach to you remains unchanged. They want to take Bartona away, but because of Milenu's lingering presence, they haven't chosen to use aggressive methods."

After explaining the handling of the royal palace, Lucasión projected the current situation of the duchy.

In the scene, a large number of warships are floating above the floating island, and dense crowds are boarding the ships in an orderly manner. Among the people in charge, Leon sees a familiar old friend.

The Black Knight—Bandel!

"That old guy wasn't held accountable when he went back. It seems the duchy is indeed much better than the kingdom. But those insects are just as disgusting."

Hearing Lyon's words about the Duchy, Lucasión spoke up.

"Master, based on your behavior and attitude towards the duchy, it seems you have already decided how to deal with it."

Sensing a hint of displeasure in Lucaccion's voice, Lyon smiled.

“Lucassion, I’m a kind guy. How could I possibly kill all those innocent people with a nuclear bomb?”

Upon hearing this, Lucasian simply chuckled.

As the creature most familiar with Lyon, Lucaccion's understanding of Lyon is second to none.
