This incident had indeed become a big deal.
At least, within the entire royal capital, in less than an hour, not only the nobles, but even the commoners knew about it.
“I heard that the young master of the Lucica family offended Viscount Buztout.”
“The young master of the Lucica family offended a woman associated with Viscount Buztout.”
“Duke Lucica is now on his way to the Buztout mansion with his guards and knights.”
“A viscount actually confronted a Duke. How impressive.”
“Only Viscount Buztout would dare to do such a thing.”
Even though it was the middle of the night, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with such discussions, showing how big this incident had become.
This was also because Shien was involved.
Since Shien was famous, many people were paying attention to him. Once he did something, it would naturally spread quickly and become known to everyone.
Therefore, not only the nobles, but even some bold commoners went to the noble district, to the Buztout mansion, intending to watch the events unfold.
However, when they arrived at the Buztout mansion, they were surprised to find that this incident was even bigger than they had imagined.
Because the entire area in front of the Buztout mansion’s gate was surrounded by a dense crowd of knights.
And at the forefront was a luxuriously dressed, elderly noble, seemingly around fifty years old.
This person was Edel’s father, the Duke of the Kingdom of Mitra—Jeroman Lucica.
At this moment, Jeroman’s face was extremely grim, with the timid Eichi and Reid standing beside him. It was clear that he was on the verge of exploding.
In fact, Jeroman was in a very bad mood.
Not only because of the trouble his son had caused, but also because this matter had become public knowledge, making him feel utterly humiliated.
Therefore, almost without thinking, Jeroman directly brought all his guards and knights, surrounding the entire Buztout mansion.
“Shien Buztout!”
Jeroman shouted angrily.
“Return my son to me!”
At Jeroman’s roar, the knights behind him all stepped forward in unison.
“Boom!”
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed, instantly filling the area with a murderous aura.
This surprised the nobles and commoners watching this scene.
“Is Duke Lucica really planning to fight Viscount Buztout?”
“He actually dares to do so.”
“Although the other party is just a Viscount, he’s also the top candidate for Princess Lucy’s husband.”
“He actually disrespects even the royal family?”
“It seems he’s lost his mind for the sake of his only son.”
Everyone was discussing this.
Until…
“How disturbing. Causing such a commotion in the middle of the night. As expected of a Duke, truly knows how to abuse his power.”
With these words, the gate of the Buztout mansion opened.
Inside, there were no guards or knights, only Shien, along with the members of Vivian’s squad, slowly walking out, appearing before everyone.
Naturally, Edel was also brought out.
However, he was being dragged out by Shien, who was holding his collar.
Everyone gasped upon seeing this scene.
Not only because Edel was being dragged out, but also because this Duke’s son was not only covered in wounds, but also bruised and swollen, barely alive, a trail of blood even dragging behind him, looking extremely miserable. rÀƝȯ₿ΕṤ
This was beyond just being disheveled.
“Edel!” Jeroman was shocked and enraged, his face turning livid as he looked at Shien as if he were his mortal enemy. He growled, “Bastard! How dare you…!?”
Looking at the furious Jeroman, Shien smiled brightly, as if he hadn’t done any of this.
“Of course, I dare.” Shien said with a smirk. “Just a piece of trash who bullies others, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“You…!” Jeroman pointed at Shien, panting and growling, his eyes bloodshot, “Return him to me!”
However, instead of complying with Jeroman’s angry shouts, Shien curled his lip, dragged Edel over, and threw him before him.
“Bang!”
The next moment, Shien raised his foot without hesitation and stomped heavily on Edel.
“Aaaaaah…!”
Edel screamed in agony, his cries heart-wrenching.
