Episode 8

Are you really crazy?

Leons yell rang out in the quiet dining room.

Either way, I was hungry, so I hardly listened to the words and concentrated on eating the bacon in front of my eyes.

In fact, at yesterdays festival, I was plagued by Cassius and had been talking to Rachel for a long time, so I ate almost nothing.

So Im trying to fill up what I couldnt eat yesterday with breakfast, but this nerd is the problem.

I want to get it done quickly during breakfast, should I put it back a little bit?

One thing I could simply notice was that Leon was staring at me as if he were going to kill me while I was thinking about something else.

Then what can you do? Im the successor now.

After cutting up the bacon, I sighed and spoke to him.

Im not crazy, Leon. Im saying everything consciously.

I didnt bother to look at Leon because I thought it would be better to focus on the bacons beautiful scarlet existence than to see Leon shaking in anger with a flushed face.

But it must have stroked Leons nerves, and he screamed as if he was dumbfounded.

Conscious? Ha!

Oh, this bacon is delicious.

While drinking orange juice with such wild thoughts, Leons anger exploded.

Clang-lang-

For over ten years, weve lived together, raised, fed and slept together, but now youre saying you want to break it up? Is that what youre consciously talking about?

I stopped lifting the glass and put it down again.

Looking at the back, the shards of the shattered glass glistened under the sun.

And you dont even remember what you did to us yesterday, do you? Youre a wretch who doesnt know how to use magic, and youre doing some trick like that!

Fernand interrupted Leons words senselessly and shouted.

Thats right! You lured people with your ridiculous trick, even without the easy levitation magic! You think we dont know that?

It is fortunate that I have regained my place as successor, but it is more fortunate that I was still engaged to this man, engaged not married.

If I had gone to divorce proceedings with this nonsense thing, Id be sick.

Of course, I would have won.

Anger rose up as I sighed and talked.

Im sorry, its not a trick or a scam. Would the empire recognize a man who is neither a fool nor a man without mana as its successor?

Then this time Countess Postade banged down the table and said,

Dont lie! How could you start that fire without making a trick at the appointment ceremony?

These people, its clear that they live with their ears closed..

While yawning long and chewing bacon, the three constantly hurled swear and rant at me.

If they had said one by one, I would have understood it, but there was no way to understand it because they were only saying what they wanted to say.

Excuse me.

I opened his closed mouth and looked straight at Countess Postade.

A voice that is not loud, but is low and resonant enough to be heard by everyone. When I spoke in such a voice, all three of them unexpectedly hesitated and turned their eyes to me.

After deliberately raising my right hand slowly and slowly, I raised my flaming red eyes and set eyes on Countess Postade.

Some say its scarier when a quiet person suddenly tries to grab the mood.

Countess Postade who, as expected, made more noise than a merchant on the stall, crouched in dismay and looked at me with slight bewilderment.

This, dont you see it?

What I shook before their eyes was an opal ring symbolizing the true heir of the Spades.

The gold ring your son wore in the first place is not for the successor. Its just for decoration. The Empire knows that.

I said in a steady voice.

Isnt that the fact that if the empire let me wear this ring, that means theyve already recognized me as the true successor?

Then I heard Leons grinding teeth.

I turned my eyes right away and said to Leon, who was shaking.

You remember when you lit the fire yesterday, and when I lit it, peoples reactions were markedly different, right?

..

Leon couldnt refute anything.

Thats not a scam nor trick. Its called ability.

Thats thats empty words

Then I hit the final blow at him.

You werent pushed out of succession yesterday because of me. Youre behind the successors because of your lack of ability.

Eventually, someone had to blow up.

That bitch!!

Leon couldnt stand it and screamed like a beast and ran towards me.

If I had been an ordinary girl without magic, I would have been very scared.

But I was much better at magic than Leon, even though it was less than five days after I came to this world, but I wasnt afraid of him because I had gone through all sorts of things.

You know, people with bad brains have to make things happen.

I shook my head and tapped my fingers lightly.

At that moment, the wooden table, which Leon was holding with both hands, caught fire.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Leon, who had a face distorted by anger, screamed and stepped back.

Not only that, but Countess Postade and Fernand also rose from their very seats and ran like mad with a shrill cry.

Well, I was just trying to scare them with the smallest fire I could

I wondered how such timid people thought of taking over the successor position of this family.

Sorry, my hands are a little slippery.

As I smiled and tapped my fingers again, the flames that had burned the table disappeared without a trace, leaving only a smoky smell in the restaurant.

You you youHow did you!!

The Countess Postade mumbled, with her hands clasped her mouth as if she could not believe it.

Its not a lie?

Leons voice trembled violently as if he had been shocked. He looked at me with his blue eyes raised to the point that I could see all the whites, and he pointed to the table with a tanned corner of his trembling hands.

I spoke to them in a low-key voice.

Yes. Im not lying. I mean

said softly, with my voice low and my fingers in both hands crossed.

Dont make a fuss and sit down right now.

Why would I

Cant you figure out whats going on?

Leon flinched and sweated as I raised my voice with my left eye wide open.

Okay, Ill kindly explain for you guys who cant figure things out. First, Im now the successor to the spades recognized in the Empire. That means the wealth, power, and all the benefits of the Spades are mine.

I closed my tired eyes for a while and continued the conversation.

Second, this mansion is mine right now, and I can report you to the Imperial Guard for trespassing and get you kicked out right now.

Feeling the hot warmth at my left eye, I glared at the Postades.

Lastly. Im stronger than you guys, so I can handle you as much as I like with magic.

Then a bright smile, I extended my hand to the Postades.

Now, what do you want to do?

They had no choice. Countess Postade and Fernand, who were struggling, hesitated and finally sat down, and Leon, who had endured until the end, sat down with his eyes met mine.

Toward them, I opened my mouth, with a piece of paper I had in my hand from a while ago.

Well, as I said before, you can sign this memorandum of break-up here, and get out of this house.

Were only engaged, not officially married, so I dont need to file a divorce suit. I had this memorandum written for any unexpected situations.

When I said so, I put aside the food bowl for a while and prepared a flag pin and a stamp, and lined it up in front of me.

Of course if you want to reject it and turn it over to a civil suit, you cant help it. Although, Ill win anyway.

You!

The Countess Postade growled her face.

But I wasnt scared.

Well, as far as I know, Count Postade has had nothing much left because of Count gambling a few years ago.

I talked deliberately, stroking the ring on a long white finger to lift the medicine.

On the other hand, the Spades, theres been up and down, but theres enough money to win a civil suit.

I dont know how many times I went through the papers last night to figure out about this matter.

I dont have much to complain about it since there was a definite harvest.

Then Leon got up and yelled, pointing his finger at me.

You didnt even repay me for living with that ugly face of you, but now you avenging my kindness?

It was a very frowning sound.

If youre going to talk, then talk like a human, will it resolve anything if you growl like a beast like that?.

Anger mounted, and contrary to the original plan, plenty of words came out.

If you have eyes, look properly. Its not my face thats ugly, its your sex life that doesnt know where its going.

Neither Leon nor Countess Postade could shut up at the words.

Youhow dare you to say such a nasty word in front of someone!

The Countess Postade shouted in amazement, shaking the flowing flesh.

Home, I think Im less vulgar than you guys who dont know where you belong and run around in other peoples houses. Unlike anyone else, Ive been well educated at home education.

After saying so, I took out a picture.

I tried not to use this as much as I could, butI cant help it.

With a confused face, Leon and Countess Postade, staring at the picture laid down on the table, soon turned white.

Now, youve seen enough. Then Ill take it back.

I quickly took the picture before they reached for it.

You had the guts to do it in this house. You thought I didnt know that.

How can you.

As you may have guessed, the photo showed Leon entering the bedroom with a woman on both sides.

I dont know how Yerine took this picture, but I think it happened so often that she could easily take pictures.

Having to take pictures of a man shes engaged to cheating with other women with her own hands, it almost like putting the knife to the chest.

Leon, you must have been intent on taking my place of succession under the pretext of being part of a branch family after you were engaged to me. And if my prediction is correct, after taking the post of a successor, youre breaking up with me and marrying Lady Grelle?

As I spoke, Leon sweated and lost control.

Where did the fiery angry look go? He was now anxiously thinking about how to get out of it with his eyes rolling.

Good for you, because we are going to break up anyway. Although, I wonder if Lady Grelle will marry you after seeing this picture.

Then I stroked and turned my head and looked at Countess Postade.

Maybe I have no choice but to submit this photo as evidence if it leads to a lawsuit. No, if youre going to hurt or harm me after our break up, I could send this picture to the newspaper.

Thats how I smiled.

Then Leon, how far will your reputation in society fall?

The Postades, who bowed their head in silence, I realized I had won this fight completely.

How long have I endured Ive been so nice to you. Like this.

Hey.

In the end, they got on my nerves.

I still have all the documents in this house, as well as the financial reports submitted to the Empire. The money from the Empire to the 7 Imperial Families seems to have been used for private purposes, and it seems to me, you want to pay for all that, right?

The Countess Postade waved her hand at the words and spoke in a hurry.

No, wait, Yerine

Yeah. Lets go to the lawsuit. Well have to spit out all the money you embezzled as well as the alimony.

Leon stuttered at the remark with a pale, pale face.

Yerine, its my fault, its

Yes, youre not afraid of people, but it seems you are afraid of money, huh? Well, I cant help it. I have to let this matter out.

At this remark, Leon and Countess Postade knelt down and began to beg.

The embezzlement of public funds was a serious crime, and they seemed to be scared because their sentence was heavy.

Its too early to kneel down already.

I thought to myself with a cold smile.

Maybe they dont know.

Yerines, and my revenge wouldnt end today, and I still have a long way to go.

The real hellfire hasnt even started yet.

Yerine, Im so sorry. If you forgive me just once..

Leon, who did not know the fact, prayed with tears in his eyes.

The sight of it made my blood boil with anger.

I try hard to suppress the anger that was rising up to the end of the and said.

Okay, if you dont want this to get rough, get a stamp and get out of this house. Youre no better than an animal.
