    <span style="font-weight:400">Late at night, Violet slept serenely and at peace in her bed. As she did, she didn’t notice the shadow of death surrounding her. Figures surrounded her from all sides. Some maids waited by the door. Seeing the shadows walking toward them,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No one is here, right?” One shadow questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm.” The maids nodded as they moved away, letting them in. These maids were ced there to make an opening.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s do this.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">The assassins all stared. Without any ounce of hesitation, they mmed their knives into the bed!


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was done...or so they thought.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The assassins’ expressions froze as they stared down at the body. One questioned, “Why isn’t there any blood?!” No ounce of blood came from the wound. Instead, it was heavy. When they pierced the body, the des were stuck in.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wow, you guys are gutsy to pull off an assassination in a Grand Duke’s home.” The assassin’s heads jolted by the yful voice. Startled, they quickly turned to see a person sitting at a table! He sat there so calmly andfortably as he sipped his tea.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Attack!” All of them charged at Keith. They must kill anyone who saw! That moment of decisiveness made them falter. They hadn’t realized there were others! Two figures mmed the assassins, bursting through the wall.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Haha, your n worked like a charm, youngster!” A haughtyugh came from Sterling. Lnd shook his head, “Sterling, we still need to focus. These guys aren’t dead.” They took some damage, but it was not enough to defeat them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Did you guys really think you can do this?” Keith scoffed. But as he was about to continue,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What is going on?!” Rodrick came from the side. He wasn’t alone; Dolus and the knights were with them too. That was when his expression darkened,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Sterling, Lnd! How dare you! To collide with that brat to assassinate my sister! Have the two of you fallen so low?!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You really going to throw this on us?” Keith raised one brow.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Do you think you can say all of that, Rodrick?” A cold voice cut through the tension. Rodrick turned his head to see Violet with Krystal and Winston. The two women had dark expressions.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Sister?!” Rodrick froze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Why do you sound so surprised? Were you expecting me dead?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No! You’re alive! Those assassins didn’t kill you!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Pff, stop acting like you’re the hero.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What do you mean?!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Can you really say all of this when you were the one who caused this?” Keith then raised a stone. And the moment he did, a video started to y. It was none other than Rodrick ordering the knights to take out Violet. His words were cold, and his eyes were maniacal.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was a moment of silence before,


    <span style="font-weight:400">“....Hahaha!” The expression Rodrick had before was nowhere to be found, and a crazed one soon reced it. “Fine! I was the one who did this! I was also the one who framed Edmund!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Why?! How could you have fallen so low?!” Even hearing it was unbelievable. Violet’s husband and Rodrick were brothers. How could he backstab him like so?


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You’re really asking me why? Do you know how it feels to be second fiddle to a man like that?! I’ve done the same thing as him. Yet, Father chose him to be head! I should have been Grand Duke!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And that’s exactly why the previous head didn’t choose you.” Keith retorted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You-gah!” Before Rodrick could respond to that, something decked him in the face! The man was sent flying into a tree.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Keith?!” Krystal blinked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What? He was going to keep talking.” There was no way he was going to listen to another monologue.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So true.” Sterling chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Anyways, let’s take out the trash.” Keith cracked his knuckles; there was still Dolus and the knights.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Those who want to stand down, this is yourst chance. Or I could make it worse for you.” He should give the knights one final warning.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” Some knights quickly stood down without a thought!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Why?!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Because we won’t attack the duchess.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“This is too far!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t care if I get fired; I won’t harm the duchess.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Some of them remembered how the duchess treated them. She was kind and sweet to all of them. They wouldn’t dare harm her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You bastards! Attack them!” Dolus, a few traitors, and the assassins charged at the group.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sterling was prepared to attack. However, a hand waved before him, “Sir Sterling and Sir Lnd, go protect the duchess.”


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">“These guys are going to target the duchess no matter what.” In terms of numbers, they were still at a disadvantage. In this situation, take out the duchess, and they win.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” Sterling understood this as well. He asked, “Are you fine dealing with them by yourself?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m more than enough.” Keith was calm as he took a step forward.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Good! I’ve been meaning to see what the Freed Estate Knights can do!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll fight as well!” Krystal shouted. She couldn’t leave Keith to do this all alone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No, you’re not fighting.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you seriously doing this right now?!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You can’t really fight people who you treated as family.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...I can.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No, you can’t. Not right now.” Keith realized. When he nned to use Violet as bait, he mentioned they would have to fight with Rodrick and the rest of the knights. Krystal said she was fine, but there was hesitancy in her eyes. There was no doubt in his mind; she couldn’t harm someone she called family before.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Leave everything to me.” Keith didn’t say anymore as he moved forward. That only caused Dolus to chuckle, “Do you think you can beat me by yourself? You’re just foolish.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Keep talking.” Keith didn’t hold his sword as he only crunched his knuckles. Dolus raised his sword as he dashed forward! He would blow the brat away in one move!


    <span style="font-weight:400">However,


    <i><span style="font-weight:400">BAMMMM!</i>


    <span style="font-weight:400">What happened next caused the entire duchy to freeze!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith dodged the de, and then his fist came right into the guy’s face! It was such a clean blow that the man’s head coked back and mmed into the ground, caving it in!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...” He’s not dead, right?


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That takes care of that.” Keith shook his head as he turned to the rest, “I would normally knock you guys out. However, not today. You guys really pissed me off.” A wooden sword appeared in his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wai-“It was toote to say anything. Keith appeared before the person and sent him flying into the air! No hesitation as he sliced them with the sword!


    <span style="font-weight:400">No one could fathom the onught that was about to ur.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Woo.” Sterling snickered, “The young miss’s boyfriend is so strong.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He’s!” Why are you saying something like that?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Indeed. Was he holding back against me when we fought?” Lnd was genuinely surprised Keith was this strong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And we’re done.” Keith took a deep sigh. Before him were rows of bodies on the ground. They were all beaten ck and blue.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Rodrick, who regained some consciousness, was stunned beyond belief. His knights were taken down in such a quick fashion.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Rodrick, enough of this.” A cold voice cut in. Everyone turned their head to see two people before them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Father! Grandfather!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Dear!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Grandpa Cedric?!” There was one person Keith definitely knew! It was none other than Cedric!


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It seems we’rete to the party,” Cedric chuckled.
