The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 53

The atmosphere suddenly felt heavy and awkward. The Emperor looked at his five guests seriously.

"There is one thing I would like to investigate a long time ago about the destruction of the Tigries clan and the demon race simultaneously and about the king of Seanthuria."

They looked at the Emperor curiously.

"Klan Tigries has unique characteristics. They have beautiful eyes with pointed retinas like mine and Leona, black lines at the top and bottom of the lash line as well as an out-of-the-box personality." The emperor began to tell a story and took a sip of his grape juice for a moment.

They stared at Leona for a moment. It was only fitting that the girl always acted out of reason. The four men understood.

"Our clan knows no romance. Because for us, it's too much trouble. Although we were married, but for romance we put it last because we like freedom and do not like to be tied up in a status."

The four Leona colleagues glanced at the girl. Finally they understood why the girl had never been attracted to the opposite sex and always put on a depressed expression when someone expressed their feelings and rejected them cruelly.

The Tigries clan had a physique above the average human in general and very rarely had mana. If they have mana, where they will disappear when they grow up can even be seized by others.

Even some there believed that absorbing mana from the Tigries Clan could make them stronger.

"King Grambiel was once the favorite crown prince of the previous King of Seanthuria. He was very spoiled because he had the characteristics of the Seanthurian royal family, faded blue hair approaching white and blue eyes. The other children are ignored because they do not have the same characteristics, even killed by the previous King. Accustomed to being pampered, one day crown prince Grambiel suffered a defeat while sparing at the Academy by a student hailing from the Tigries clan. Not accepting the defeat, the crown prince considered the young man to be carrying out the royal family's humiliation and the crown prince investigated about the young man then asked the king to lower the extermination of the Tigries clan.

Even the demon race participated in the slaughter because it considered them a barrier and lower status and some of them managed to survive and hide.

Most of the Tigries clan that were slaughtered were commoners, while some of the nobles in this kingdom were Tigries clan, including myself survived.

Miria who is my aunt was kidnapped by the crown prince while returning home from a palace visit. I heard my aunt was given to Duke Castallio and had two children." The Emperor glanced at Leona who was now wiping away her tears.

"Your grandfather died trying to save Miria with some soldiers. Some of the survivors chose to stay in the rundown outcast village of Castallio region. I myself do not accept that deciding on a good relationship with the King of Seanthuria to investigate an artifact that was successfully stolen from the ancient site belonging to the Tigries clan."

Leona sobbing. It turned out that this was the stupid weak King Grambiel. Leona would reply to them by many times later.

"Cousin, you don't have to cry over the sad stuff that's gone by. You know, we have to play pretty with them before we give them the most beautiful gift." Emperor Ein tried to persuade the sobbing Leona.

'Jedeerr!'

Again the four men were surprised by the facts they heard. Leona was Emperor Ein's cousin? Their behavior is equally absurd.

Leona herself was shocked to hear the Emperor's words. She did not expect that they had a blood relation from the mother's side.

"The simple reason the empress wants your death and Miria's aunt, is because our clan is special physically." Emperor Ein said as he pulled his hair back and blinked one eye seductively.

The four men who were there and the two ferocious beasts belonging to Leona gave off disgust instantly.

💠💠💠💠

Leona chose to calm herself down in the village of Bloom Mist after she finished talking about the mission. He had sought permission from the Emperor and his companions. Those who understood Leona's condition allowed the girl to return to her village.

This village was still in the attention of the Emperor secretly.

Leona breathed a heavy sigh. Life in this world makes him crazy, even crazier when he sees a target in front of his eyes that is almost caught and then just runs away.

"Hey, Leona. It's okay, right if I avenge your family and the royal family in my own way? You've heard the Emperor's words, haven't you. So you rest in peace. If you mind, you can approach me through a dream." Leona said as she stared at the night sky in her room.

Leona's tired. Behaving as a real Leona made her mentally a little depressed. Fortunately he was expelled from the Castallio residence, so that his feelings were not burdened. Perhaps the real Leona was also fed up with the unfair treatment she endured for a dozen years. And Miria's will also tell her to leave the Castallio residence when she was sixteen.

Jim saw his nephew contemplating after returning from the Empire could only sigh softly. The man knew that Leona had heard a shocking fact from the Emperor.

Jim wanted to cheer Leona up, but the girl definitely needed some time alone first.

"Anyway, I will avenge this injustice! They've made disgusting justice." Leona growled and looked back when she felt someone watching.

Jim and a few servants looked at the door with curious faces. Their heads were arranged from the bottom up making Leona frown.

"What are you guys doing there?" Ask Leona curiously.

Those who were shocked because they were caught immediately positioned themselves and cleared their throat for a moment.

"Leona-sama, we were worried when we saw your expression so coming from the Empire. Kei and Ken are very worried about you, even Kaze is busy squeaking in her shape." Said one of the waiters there.

"I'm fine. Oh, please provide a samsak in doujo." Leona's Word.

"Well, Leona-sama." They immediately withdrew.

Jim immediately went into Leona's room and sat down on the sofa that was there.

"It seems the Emperor has told you something." Jim said stale.

"really. The emperor has told me everything." Leona Sahut. The girl immediately told him what the emperor had told her without exaggeration or subtraction.

Jim heard the words clench his hands, dampening the emotions running through his heart.

"Actually, Leona. It belonged to the Kamitsuki Emperor and was a direct border with the Seanthurian kingdom. Ever since Baron Calisius was previously exiled here by the King of Seanthuria, he had agreed that this territory should be removed from the map and become a central region. Because this is a neutral territory that no one should interfere in here." Jim took it seriously.

"Castallio claimed this as its territory because it was adjacent to the capital Eige. It's just that the terrain is quite difficult and foggy and located on the edge of the central region makes Castallio reluctant to come to send help." Imbuh Jim's.

Leona nodded her head understanding. Just because of its difficult location that the kingdom did not pay attention to the far-flung region of the periphery made him shake his head.

"I don't want our efforts to be taken for granted." Leona said coldly.

They both built this village from scratch without asking for help from anyone and the ruler even as if he wanted to come and claim his territory? Can't!

The tears flowed instantly without being dammed. A tightness enveloped Leona's chest. He brushed aside his teary face. Could this be Leona's true feeling? I don't know, it's better to be obeyed and removed than to make it tormented.

"It's okay, Leona. You've fought so far." Jim patted Leona's head gently.

"YAHOO!!"

Leona threw herself into Jim's arms, buried her face in the man's chest and cried hysterically, letting out the burden she had been bearing. Neither the burden of the original Leona nor the burden of her.

Jim patted Leona on the back. His nephew had lived a difficult life, especially after hearing the story from the emperor that made the girl's heart hurt.

Being ignored, ostracized and dumped by her own family for not having any mana, not to mention the many bad rumors circulating about her made the girl's wounds too deep. The burden is quite heavy on the responsibility of the girl alone since the death of her mother when she was young.

The first time Leona showed her fragile side made the man tighten his arms and tear into his eyes as if to feel how Leona was suffering.

Long enough Leona cried hysterically to the point that some servants also felt bitterness from her employer. They could not imagine how the girl's life was.

Slowly, Leona's sobs sounded faintly. For three hours the girl was crying and Jim felt his clothes wet.

"Leona." Call Jim.

There's no answer. Jim breaks out his embrace and sees Leona fall asleep despite occasional sobbing. The girl's eyes were quite swollen from crying for too long.

Jim put Leona to sleep in his bed and then covered her. The man looked at Leona with concern.
