Reincarnation of The Villainess: She Has The Duke's Baby!-Chapter 168-They Meet And Wreak Havoc!
"What are you doing here, Crown Prince Sebastian?"
Sebastian De Louis stopped in his tracks, as did Tristan, who faithfully accompanied him. The man smiled mockingly towards Helios Rune Abelavish even though Helios was the one who owned this palace. Sebastian just felt happy because he could come to this place even though Helios and the others tried to prevent him from meeting Isabella. And what’s even more fortunate, Penelope Askary is also in this palace.
"I came to visit Isabella Lysander," Sebastian answered. "You haven’t forgotten that that woman are my people, right? More importantly, Isabella is a woman close to me. She will marry me."
"Nonsense," snorted Helios. The man laughed mockingly. "From what I heard, you dumped Lady Isabella. You even intended to make her your concubine when you promised her the Empress seat. And you want to make Duchess Gerwyn your Empress when she is happy with her children and Duke Gerwyn."
Sebastian’s smile disappeared. The man glared at Helios.
"Don’t you have anything to do besides talking about my personal life?"
"Ha!" Helios snorted again. He crossed his arms. "I don’t want to hear this disgusting story but people around me are talking about it. You know what, Sebastian? Your pride as a Crown Prince has been shattered."
"With all due respect, Your Highness Helios," Tristan said before Sebastian got out of control and went on a rampage here. If that happened, then war between the two empires would definitely occur. "The purpose of His Highness Sebastian’s arrival here was only to check Lady Isabella’s condition. Lady Isabella is a woman who is very close to His Highness. His Highness is only worried about Lady Isabella’s condition." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Helios was silent. He glanced at Jeremy. It was as if the two of them were doing sudden telepathy and what they were talking about in their heads was definitely Sebastian’s shameless attitude.
"You are lucky to have someone who is very loyal and always defends you like that, Sebastian," Helios pointed at Tristan using his chin. "If I were him, I would have left you long ago for having such an embarrassing master like you."
Sebastian tries to be patient. However, in his head, he was making plans to take revenge on Helios. Sebastian raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly when he saw Penelope Askary walking towards him. The woman stopped beside Helios and next to her stood Ethan Askary.
"Penelope!"
"Duchess Gerwyn," Penelope corrected. "Call me properly, Your Highness. We don’t have a friendly or close relationship with each other so you can’t just call me by my name."
Sebastian waved his right hand. His eyes looked at Penelope with a look of adoration. The man’s handsome face even blushed slightly, making Penelope shudder and immediately shift her body slightly behind Ethan’s body.
"Please watch your eyes, Your Highness," growled Ethan. "That is not an appropriate gaze given to a woman who already has a husband!"
Sebastian decided to ignore Ethan and keep his focus on Penelope.
"I brought your favorite flowers, Penelope," Sebastian said in an enthusiastic tone. The man also didn’t follow Penelope’s orders who told him not to call her name. "Aren’t these flowers very pretty? But, for me, nothing can compare to your beauty. These flowers will feel sad because they cannot beat your beauty."
Penelope felt sick when she saw Sebastian’s behavior. She looked away and hugged Ethan’s arm, making Sebastian shrug and hand the flower to Tristan.
"Then, can I see my Isabel?" Sebastian asked in a sweet tone. "I really miss her. I want to—"
"Did you know she is pregnant with my child, Your Highness?"
Ethan’s words interrupted Sebastian’s sentence. Hearing that, Sebastian froze. He was wide-eyed. The flowers in his hand for Isabella fell and the man clenched his fists at his sides. Sebastian’s eyes were sharp and cold as if he wanted to tear Ethan Askary’s body apart with just using his eyes. The man’s smile disappeared and his jaw tightened.
"What did you just say, Ethan Askary?" Sebastian growled.
"I said, Isabella Lysander is pregnant with my child and we will get married next month," answered Ethan. He grinned. "Are you happy to hear this information, Your Highness?"
"ETHAN ASKARY!" shouted Sebastian. He took out his sword and Ren and Jellal, who had returned from Gerwyn’s mansion, immediately appeared and took out their swords. Seeing Ren and Jellal take out their swords, Tristan immediately took out his sword too and two of Sebastian’s shadow knights who came with him followed Tristan. Jeremy, who was next to Helios, stepped in front of Helios and pointed his sword at all of them. "How dare you impregnate my woman?!"
"Your woman?" Ethan snorted and glared at Sebastian. "If you valued Isabel as your woman, if you loved her as your woman, then you would not have dumped her and would never have had the intention of making her your concubine, Your Highness."
"I will kill you!" Sebastian growled. "I will send you to hell!"

Isabella Lysander was very anxious.
She bit her lip and worried about Penelope and Ethan. It had been a long time since they had left the banquet hall and Isabella was afraid that something bad had happened to them. Sebastian De Louis is quite a temperamental man. He doesn’t like being argued with and doesn’t like being challenged.
"Should I go to them?" Isabella muttered. "But, Ethan and Penny told me to stay here." The woman rubbed her stomach gently. "My child, you don’t need to worry. No matter what happens, Mother will always protect you."
"Is that Ethan Askary’s child?"
The question made Isabella flinch and turned her body around. She widened her eyes and took a step back when Philleo Aaron suddenly stood in front of her. The man was already holding his sword, making Isabella swallow hard and try not to look afraid.
"How did you get here?" Isabella asked in a trembling voice. She hadn’t had a vision like this before. Will her visions only appear if the people she loves are in danger?
"I asked you," Philleo said, ignoring Isabella’s question just now. "Is the child you are carrying Ethan Askary’s child?"
Isabella was silent. She tried to find a way out. But, the exit was quite far from where she was currently standing.
"Why should I answer you?"
"Depending on your answer, I will decide whether to kill you or let you go, Isabella." Philleo shrugged. "I don’t need to call you Isabella Lysander because you’re not Marquess Lysander’s biological daughter, right?"
Isabella was silent. She knew Philleo knew this information because it was the man who gave the information to Penelope.
"Answer me, Isabella," Philleo spoke again. "Are you pregnant with my best friend’s child?! Are you seducing him and trapping him with your body?!"
"I don’t—"
Suddenly, someone appeared in front of Philleo before Isabella could reply to the man’s words. Isabella screamed when she saw Philleo’s sword and the mysterious person’s sword clash and make a scary sound. The woman squatted down and covered her ears, then dared to peek.
"Lady Isabella, are you alright?" asked the mysterious person.
"Huh? Err... yeah. I’m fine," nodded Isabella. "But, who are you?"
"My name is Brandon," the man answered. "I am Duke Edmund’s shadow knight assigned to protect you, Lady."
"Duke Edmund told you to protect me?" Isabella asked in disbelief. Doesn’t that man hate her?
"That’s right. And that was because of Duchess Penelope’s orders."
"Don’t ever mention my woman’s name with your dirty mouth, you bastard!" Philleo growled. He tried to attack Brandon but Brandon was able to fight him well. Philleo was forced to admit that Brandon was a very great knight. If he was lucky, he could be recognized as a knight who was very talented and had extraordinary abilities. He can also become a swordmaster.
"I should have given those words to you, Philleo Aaron," said Brandon in a cold tone. "How dare you call my master your woman! I will not spare your life. I will kill you because you have said such nonsense about Duchess Penelope and because you intend to kill Lady Isabella!"
Philleo groaned.
Why didn’t any of his plans work perfectly?!
###
The situation between Penelope, Ethan, Helios, and Sebastian is getting heated.
They were ready to attack each other. Especially Sebastian. He couldn’t accept that the two women who would become his future Empress and Concubine were actually impregnated by another man. Sebastian couldn’t let it go any longer. He had to take the lives of Edmund Gerwyn and Ethan Askary so he could have Penelope Askary and Isabella Lysander!
"It seems I’m not too late."
Those words made everyone turn their heads. A magic circle appeared along with Edmund Gerwyn, Edgar, and Chris. Seeing her husband’s arrival, Penelope blinked. The woman looked at the Duke with sparkling eyes and immediately ran towards Edmund. She hugged Edmund and Edmund immediately closed his eyes. He kissed Penelope’s forehead.
"Are you okay, Penny?" The Duke asked in a worried tone. He opened his eyes and cupped Penelope’s face.
"Yes." Penelope nodded. He smiled broadly.
"Ah, you show up too, Edmund Gerwyn," Sebastian grinned. "That’s good because I can kill you and Ethan Askary at the same time!"
