Chapter 107: Who dares to anger the young lady?!

As for Lucuis, he’d flown over the horses and landed on the other side with a perplexed look on his face, still trying to grasp what had just happened. One moment he’d been preparing to throw a desperate punch that he knew full well would perhaps do little against the six charging beasts, and the next those same creatures had frozen mid-stride as if they’d seen something far more terrifying than any mere fist could ever be.

He hadn’t the faintest idea what had spooked them, but after giving it some thought, he realized that the only thing about him that might’ve struck fear into the hearts of these beasts must be the cursed necklace or be exact, the evil spirit hidden within it.

"My horses!!!" The shrill shriek that erupted from the carriage shattered the stunned silence like glass being dropped onto stone.

The voice didn’t catch Lucius off guard, he’d already expected whosoever it was inside to react after this.

The venom within that single sentence was so thick and palpable that several examinees actually flinched backwards as if they’d been physically struck.

The carriage door burst open with a thunderous bang that echoed across the square, and before anyone could even process the sound, a blur of motion shot out from within, halting abruptly in mid-air above the overturned carriage as if the very laws of gravity held no meaning for whoever this newcomer happened to be.

Her eyes swept across the crowd with the cold disdain of someone surveying insects beneath her notice, though the fury burning within them made it clear that she considered these particular insects worthy of her attention, at least for the moment.

"Who did this?" Her voice rang out like a whip crack, and it was immediately obvious that she harbored absolutely no concern whatsoever for the fact that her own reckless driving had caused this entire situation in the first place.

In her mind, apparently, the question of who had dared to interfere with her property was the only matter worth addressing, and she fully expected an answer delivered with appropriate haste and deference.

The pressure that radiated from the girl was nothing short of overwhelming, a tangible force that seemed to press down on everyone present like an invisible weight settling onto their shoulders, and under that suffocating influence, nearly every hand in the crowd lifted to point accusingly at Lucuis, who stood on the far side of the wreckage staring up at the floating figure with a deep frown creasing his features.

A few hands remained conspicuously lowered, of course. Leo stood firm with his arms crossed, his expression carefully neutral though his eyes watched the scene with sharp attention.

Adrian and the girls made no move to betray him either, their loyalties clearly lying with their traveling companion despite whatever tensions might have existed between them earlier. Or perhaps, they refused to be lumped together with these disdainful humans. They were well aware that Lucuis was the one in the right so seeing all these people behaving so cowardly natural attracted their disdain.

The coachman who’d nearly run them over earlier stood frozen beside Gunter, and to his credit, the young baron himself kept his hand at his side as well, his face pale but his jaw set with surprising determination given how thoroughly terrified he clearly was.

A handful of other examinees scattered throughout the crowd also refrained from pointing, whether out of principle or simple uncertainty about what was happening, it was difficult to say.

"So it was you!!" The girl’s eyes locked onto Lucuis with the focused intensity of a predator spotting wounded prey, and despite the livid fury contorting her otherwise exquisite features, every single person present found themselves reluctantly acknowledging within their own hearts that she was quite possibly the most beautiful woman any of them had ever laid eyes upon.

Her skin possessed the smooth, luminous quality of polished jade, pale and flawless and seeming to almost glow with its own inner light. Her hair cascaded down her back in waves of pure silver that caught the sunlight and scattered it like moonlight dancing across water, each strand appearing individually blessed by some divine hand. Her figure curved and swelled in all the ways that mattered most, generous and well-proportioned in a manner that the loosest of robes could never hope to conceal, and her legs, slender limbs that stretched down from beneath her traveling attire, seemed deliberately designed by nature itself to drive the opposite sex to distraction.

Without the slightest warning or hesitation, her form blurred through the air, crossing the distance between them in an instant and materializing directly before Lucuis with the suddenness of a thunderclap. Even as she moved, her lips had been forming words, an incantation flowing from her mouth in the ancient tongue that mages used to shape reality to their will, similar to how the doctor had once done back in his lab below his clinic, and by the time she stood before him, the spell was already complete.

Lucuis felt it immediately, that horrible sensation of invisible forces wrapping around him like the coils of some great serpent, pressing inward from all directions until movement became utterly impossible. It was as if some enormous, phantom hand had simply reached down from the heavens and closed its fingers around his entire body, leaving him trapped within a grip that no amount of struggling could ever hope to break.

"To think that some nobody would dare to harm that which belongs to the next ruler of Gruneville." The girl’s voice dripped with cold contempt as she spoke those words, her tone making it abundantly clear that she considered the very existence of someone like Lucuis to be something barely worthy of acknowledgment, let alone respect. Even though his family was quite well known in the captial, which could only leave one to wonder just how high her obnoxious standards lied.

Those words landed among the assembled examinees like stones dropped into still water, sending ripples of shock and recognition spreading outward in every direction.
