Chapter 173
The eyes of everyone attending the banquet were focused on the terrifying riot Khal had instigated.
“Is he doing this with a plan in mind? That fool…”
“…”
Keira, who had been talking with Lily, sighed and pressed her hand to her forehead, while Lamas watched the scene with a cynical expression.
‘…What on earth happened?’
Lamas quickly began searching for a way to mediate the current chaos in his head.
There must have been a reason for Khal to be so enraged, but the current situation was by no means favorable for him.
This was because the person Khal was threatening was Rainer Risetta, the son of Duke Risetta—the owner of this mansion and one of the core figures of the conservative faction.
At that moment, Goetz, who had been hopelessly drunk, was watching the situation with serious eyes.
The atmosphere among the nobles present was gradually becoming thick with anxiety and fear.
A noble from the outskirts threatening a Ducal family.
No matter what history you looked at, there was no precedent for such an act.
“The rumor about the Mad Dog of Lucon wasn’t an exaggeration.”
“Is something truly terrible about to happen?”
The irony here was that what the people feared was not the power of the Ducal family, but Khal’s overwhelming presence.
‘A good opportunity.’
Judging this as the perfect time to show his own strength, Micaela warned Khal with an arrogant expression.
“Apologize for your rudeness and get on your knees. If you intend to escalate things further, I will have to stop you. I am a Sanctuarium Paladin. This could turn into a diplomatic incident.”
