Episode 92. Madness
Kassius crossed his arms.
Among those focused on him, especially the ladies who had been casting adoring glances, they quickly fanned their eyes.
Compared to their now-fading husband, Kassius was so...
“Hmph, hmph!!”
Kassius crossed his arms.
Among those focused on him, especially the ladies who had been casting adoring glances, they quickly fanned their eyes.
Compared to their now-fading husband, Kassius was so...
“Hmph, hmph!!”
But Kassius couldn’t see that right now.
The only gazes he could sense were from Renisha and Laxus. He was preoccupied with figuring out how to drag Renisha out of there.
Renisha seemed to be enjoying the situation, but...
‘If only I could crush that son of a bitch’s face.’
Such thoughts followed one after another.
How could someone be so shameless?
To sit next to another man’s wife and gloat.
And on top of that, he was glaring at Renisha as if she were his own woman.
Just like that...
Kassius clenched his fist, and a crack rang out.
Kassius, still training his body as if on the battlefield.
It was true that the common nobles had a hard time resisting Kassius's ferocity, learned so fiercely on the battlefield.
Even those who despised Kassius cleared their throats and looked away.
It seemed only Renisha was enjoying this chaotic place.
'Soon...'
Renisha narrowed her eyes like a cat.
Renisha had a penchant for flamboyant showmanship. She believed that if she was going to do something, she should do it for everyone to see.
In that sense, today was the perfect stage.
The main dish she was waiting for was separate.
Renisha turned her head gently, and the Marquis of Danvers caught her eye. He had been absent just a moment ago, but now he had appeared.
'It's ready,' he said, meaning the cooking was done.
Renisha's thoughts seemed to be correct, as the servant's urgent voice rang out.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!!!"
The servant screamed, choking back tears.
"...What is this, that you're acting so rashly in a place like this?"
Laxus asked coldly.
His already complicated mood was so complex that he looked ready to draw his sword at any moment.
The attendant dropped to the floor like a frog.
“I have something urgent to report!”
Everyone looked shocked, but Renisha’s heart raced.
“Count Gale Calliot has something urgent to report! How dare you barge in...! Argh!”
The assailant appeared from behind and kicked the attendant’s buttocks.
The attendant, who involuntarily floated up and fell to the floor, burst into tears. The one who had pushed in so ruthlessly was Gale.
His face was gaunt, but his eyes were bright.
He had served as a knight under the previous Count Calliot for many years.
Sweeping the attendant away with one hand was a breeze.
Having accomplished that, Gale slowly knelt on the floor.
“Your Majesty, the Emperor!!”
Laxus frowned.
He seemed to have planned something.
“I have come here to tell you something! Please forgive my rudeness!!”
“...What are you trying to say?”
“I have something important to tell you, but meeting Your Majesty wasn’t easy!”
Renisha licked her lips.
This main dish was another reason Renisha was here.
It was a secret party that no one knew about.
In an instant, tension filled the hall.
Even the occasional clanking of dishes died down.
“I have something to report!”
“I told you to speak!”
Laxus shouted in annoyance.
It was Laxus who had given permission to speak here.
Gale banged his head on the floor.
“I ask for punishment, Your Majesty! I have been in a constant relationship with the Empress Canary, who is sitting there! As the lover of Her Majesty, Empress Canary, I am telling You the truth!”
The most important line hadn’t even been said, but several nobles were foaming at the mouth.
“Gasp!”
“I told you, an Empress who was a maid is not allowed!!!”
This was a gathering of diplomatic envoys.
This was extremely embarrassing.
"What are you talking about!!!"
Canary screamed, belatedly coming to her senses.
She was already going crazy.
Renisha sat in Canary's seat, and the Marquis of Danvers, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, didn't even glance at her.
Canary swallowed dryly.
"Your Majesty! How could I do that! I've only known you, Your Majesty! Punish that man who insulted me! Clear my name!"
Canary cried hysterically.
The man had been ominous from the moment he entered.
"Canary."
Laxus's eyes darted to Canary.
His violet eyes were filled with an unexplained confusion.
And that confusion slowly morphed into anger.
"No, Your Majesty!!"
Canary slid to the floor and lowered her head.
"Trust me, Your Majesty!"
Gale ran over and knelt.
In her anger, she had done something she shouldn't have done.
After all, according to the scenario, Gale was a great traitor who impregnated Canary.
"Trust me!!"
Canary screamed.
Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall.
Canary, who had been hiding behind Duke Cloud, was not even looking out the door.
Laxus blinked slowly.
Gale dug a nail into Laxus's ear.
"You have to trust me! His Highness takes after me! The only thing He resembles about His Majesty the Emperor is his silver hair!"
Gale took a deep breath.
"I don't have silver hair, but my great-grandmother did!"
The child didn't resemble Laxus, but neither did Canary.
"They really do. Have you ever met His Highness?"
"Ahem. When the Empress called in a few ladies with her swagger? From what I've heard, that seems to be the case. The important thing is that he doesn't resemble His Majesty."
The crowd, hungry for interest and disliking Canary, was quickly swept away.
"Oh, no! Are you crazy??!"
Canary screamed.
Canary's heart trembled.
Perhaps she should have run away.
Instead of falling for Barbara's seduction and joining hands with Duke Cloud... somewhere no one could find.
She never thought she would get caught up in something like this.
"I-I've never slept with you! I've never had sex with you!"
Those weren't words that should have come from the Empress of a nation.
And at an official event.
Everyone burst into laughter.
And the faces of some of the old nobles, who were deeply proud of their empire, flushed red with anger.
"I've never seen this before! Your Majesty, trust me. The child, Your Majesty's child...!"
"...Come to think of it, I think I heard that the child doesn't resemble me."
Canary's blood ran cold at Laxus's words.
Canary trembled. Canary shook her head violently.
'How on earth did you know?'
It wasn't Gale, of course.
Even if Canary had picked up any random man, wouldn't she have known the man she'd slept with?
Not Gale.
Then, why on earth!
What grudge could he have when they'd never met!
Canary's gaze wavered aimlessly.
Then her eyes met Renisha's.
Renisha slowly tilted her head.
Her beautifully curved lips whispered sweetly.
"Where in the world are there any secrets that are kept?"
Canary blanched.
"It's you!!"
He was finally going to throw Canary's life into the gutter.
Renisha was that kind of person!
A selfish person who would never see others prosper!
How long had Canary been in this position?
Hadn't she been bitten and torn apart by those who protected Renisha?
The fact that she had been pressured by Turiel to write a letter to Renisha still lingered in shame.
But Renisha hadn't kept any of her promises.
Canary stamped her foot.
What should she do?
Everyone was looking at Canary with the eyes of a judge.
"I-I wasn't!"
"Your Majesty, I'm telling you now because I feel remorse! I couldn't stain Hientri with my blood!"
Gale cried.
"So punish me!"
Gale gasped.
His assigned role was complete. He would die like this.
There was no way Laxus would let Gale, who had touched his woman, go unpunished.
His heart felt like it was being squeezed.
But Gale's family survived.
In the arms of Renisha, who was more merciful than Laxus.
"You really ask for too much."
Laxus slowly rose from his seat.
Thanks to this, generations of shame were made in front of the continent.
Princess Donata was observing the situation with wide eyes.
It was quite a spectacle.
Laxus tilted his head.
Laxus walked towards the guard.
He snatched the sword from his waistband and stumbled forward, his eyes unfocused and his expression tinged with madness.
Laxus raised his sword and swung it.
"Aaaaah!"
The noble ladies, who had never seen anything like it, screamed.
"Shut up!!! I'll kill anyone who gets up from their seats."
Laxus pointed at Gale, whose head fell to the floor.
"I'll make you suffer like this without discrimination!!!"
Renisha licked her lips.
Her fruit bore another fruit.
Renisha's gaze shifted to Donata.
Donata was trembling, pale.
Renisha had to prevent the possibility of Laxus bearing another child.
At least, the arrival of a foreign Princess to Hientri.
That was why Gale had chosen this day.
Laxus was raving and pointing at Gale.
He really is doing this crazy thing in front of everyone.
Just as Renisha had hoped.
Laxus, who had been raving, met Renisha's gaze.
"...I must find out about the Prince's birth,"
Laxus said through gritting his teeth.
"Find out who the child's father is!"
"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! Trust me, you must trust me!"
"I will confine that woman to her room until everything is revealed."
"Your Majesty!!"
No one in their right mind would send their daughter to be Empress.
She had denied Laxus the chance to gain foreign power.
The noble ladies, witnessing the brutal scene, cried out in confusion.
“That’s it for today. Get out!”
Laxus slammed his sword to the floor.
Everyone fled, his rage lingering.
Kassius, still training his body as if on the battlefield.
It was true that the common nobles had a hard time resisting Kassius's ferocity, learned so fiercely on the battlefield.
Even those who despised Kassius cleared their throats and looked away.

“Gasp!”
“I told you, an Empress who was a maid is not allowed!!!”
This was a gathering of diplomatic envoys.
This was extremely embarrassing.
The image of the Hientri that housed their bodies was identical to their external image.
Canary screamed, belatedly coming to her senses.
She was already going crazy.
Renisha sat in Canary's seat, and the Marquis of Danvers, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, didn't even glance at her.

Lexus's womanizing ways were put to rest in front of the continent.
She had denied Laxus the chance to gain foreign power.
The noble ladies, witnessing the brutal scene, cried out in confusion.
“That’s it for today. Get out!”
Laxus slammed his sword to the floor.
Everyone fled, his rage lingering.
“It’s a shame I couldn’t.”
Having already seen everything, Renisha wanted to get up.
But Laxus was trudging towards her, and there was no escape.
“You damn bitch.”
Malice clung to her.
“You planned this, didn’t you?”
But Laxus was trudging towards her, and there was no escape.
“You damn bitch.”
Malice clung to her.
“You planned this, didn’t you?”
“That’s ridiculous.”
Renisha smiled.
“How could I have done something so blasphemous?”
Laxus ran towards her in one breath.
Kassius sprang to his feet like a spring.
He cupped her cheek and lowered his head.
Hot, ruthless lips drew near to Renisha’s.
Renisha pushed Laxus away and turned her eyes to Kassius.
She gasped as he reached out for her.
Renisha smiled.
