    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith?!" Krystal blinked. You agree with them?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Stuff like this is something you have to fight on." Keith agreed with Sterling and the knights''s decision. Rodrick was someone who couldn''t be left unchecked. They left him alone for a few months, and he turned the duchy upside down!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A person like that should be dealt with,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good man! So you get us!" Sterling pped him in the back!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"However, this is not the time for you to do it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith added, "You''ll put Aunty Violet in a worse position." Attacking now that Violet, the interim head, had returned was just asking for trouble. Rodrick would definitely use this to his advantage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The best thing to do in this situation is to hold back."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh." Sterling and the other knights turned wry.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys can attack once everything is cleared up." Once Violet had everything cleared up, they could probably get their revenge.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah!" Sterling and the other knights brightened. Getting revenge was good in their book.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Krystal watched the knights shouting around Keith. What am I going to do?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Did you have to say everything like that?" The two had now left the knights. Since they had found them, it was time to report it back to Violet and Winston.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But it''s true." Keith shrugged, "Guys like that need to be put down with force."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah, you''re soft." Keith patted the girl. That caused the girl to stare, "What are you doing?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing. Also, I take it that Sterling and those knights are like family to you?" Sterling and the knight''s interaction with Krystal differed from what he saw from others.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Sterling and the others had been teaching me when I was a child. While my father had work, they would be the ones to watch over me." A rare smile appeared on Krystal''s face, "They''re kinda like my uncles. Well, better ones."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith chuckled, "That''s the same for me." Michael and the other knights were like family to him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Krystal took a deep breath, "That''s why we need to get Rodrick and the others out of here before things get out of hand."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Keith nodded. As the two continued onwards to the duchy,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We demand our coins!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Duchess! What are you going to do about this?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How can the Rustchil household not uphold the end of their deal?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith and Krystal quickly ran over without a thought. There, the two saw Violet in a wheelchair. But she was surrounded by a group of people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mother!" Krystal roared as she pushed the people away. And she went to cover her. Then she red at everyone there, "What are you doing?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The merchants scoffed, "We''re only here to ask for our coins, young miss."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"For our merchant houses to be here, we made a deal with the duchy."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?! When have we owed you coins?!" Krystal was startled. Never did she hear about this. And she wasn''t the only one as Violet frowned, "We have never made such a deal with you all."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You never made a deal?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re just ying wolf!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pay up!" Before the merchants could rile up even more,


    <span style="font-weight:400">Bamm! No one had expected this; Keith had mmed one of the merchants to the floor!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Lock them all up!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You dare lock us up?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">The merchants were baffled by Keith''s words. Heck! Even Violet and Krystal were slightly startled when she heard that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How dare you storm into the estate and reprimand the grand duchess! She was already sick, and you are trying to stick thest knife in her! Lock them all up for treason!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We!" This changed everything! What Keith had said had caused all of them to falter. What Keith said was correct. Violet had just recently woken up; she was technically still sick.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"''Agh," Violet groaned as she wiped her head, "My head is spinning."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mother!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Capture all of them right now! They need to be punished for harming the duchess!" As Keith had said this, Lnd nodded, "Understood! Knights,e and bring them over to the prison!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Y-yes!" The knights were surprised as they quickly went, disturbed by the situation. Everything changed so fast! Keith shook his head as he grabbed the wheelchair''s handles, "Aunty, I should bring you back to the room. The air here is repulsive."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Violet nodded as the boy pushed the cart right back into the thing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Get off of me!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you dare try to escape!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The merchants tried to fight off, but the knights wouldn''t let them off as they were captured.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job, Keith." When the three entered the mansion, Violet''s wry look disappeared. Instead, a bright and cheerful one appeared!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, Aunty." Keith grinned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can the two of you not be so joyful about this?" Krystal shook her head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But we got those snakes by the neck." Violet grinned. Those merchants tried to act coy but were walking into the wolf''s mouth!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah! And that guy should be punished, trying to force Aunty like that. How dare they."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Why are you guys smiling then? Those justifiable words were clouded by the smiles they had. They look like two little foxes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But Mother, why were you out there?" Krystal was confused. She shouldn''t be out there by herself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, the maids suggested that I go out and get some fresh air for my health."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Where''s Winston?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Winston was called out to do something."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then who was the one who brought you out?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The maids were here, but they were called in because of an emergency."
