The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 56

'Bruck!'

"I didn't expect Leona to be treated so badly by that bitch." The Emperor Ein was furious after hearing the narration of the four captives of Leona who were soldiers from Castallio.

"Hiks... Hix... Turns out Miss Leona was having a miserable life in her own home, hiks..." Timpal Noah held back his tears.

"Stop crying. You're such a crybaby." Ejek one of his colleagues.

"Just because of her lack of mana, Leona is alienated and neglected in her own home. Exile and neglect are worse than not having parents." Said Jim while laughing at the incident some time ago.

Iven who heard the story about Leona from the four warriors could only fall silent. Even though she was only the son of a concubine, she still had a mother and maternal family who loved her.

"I guess, the owner of the light magic is very weak. He seemed to be too proud and had no intention to train in that great magic." One of the soldiers belonged to the emperor.

"If it's not wrong, her name is Iris."

"Yes, Sire." Ribbert replied, looking down with his three colleagues.

"Miss Iris never practiced magic in the residence. And also at the Academy. Rumor has it he was always with the crown prince and some influential noble sons." Obviously Ben.

"Thank God the burden doesn't seem to be our team." Knock Iven sharp.

"The owner of light magic who is proud of his magic without being trained. Still better Leona than she is."

"Given Leona who had no mana, yet she was very good at everything else. He even used various means to look for the weakness of his enemy." Carl is proud.

For Carl, even though his protege had neither man nor talent, as long as he was willing to train and fight he would still be a great person. Same with his three colleagues. As long as Leona didn't take cover on their backs, they wouldn't mind a team of people with no mana.

"So do you want to share your information with us?" Ask Jim in a cold tone. This was his territory, so anyone should not interfere in his affairs.

The four looked at each other and nodded.

"We heard that Miss Iris will be engaged to the crown prince of Seanthuria to coincide with the king's plan to match her daughter to the emperor Kamitsuki. Even the king and empress wanted to invite Miss Leona at the engagement to be the crown prince's concubine."

Instantly, a chilling air filled the room. They looked at the emperors Ein, Jim, Carl, Iven, Eura and Wei Tao who had bloodthirsty faces. Not to mention the few servants and guards who were in the room were looking at him with psychopathic gazes.

"Leona-sama/Leona must not be a concubine nor the wife of any noble."

'Glek'

"A-lately rumors spread about Miss Leona who managed to improve the rebels spread in the kingdom of Seanthuria, although she was rumored to elope with her personal servant. They want to humiliate Miss Leona on the show." Said Ben in a quivering tone as he stared at the sinister expressions of the six men who were there. Not to mention the killing intent from the servants of this residence.

"That damn shit..." The Emperor did not accept. He did not want his cousin to marry the arrogant weak crown prince, let alone to the point of embarrassment.

"Iven, Wei Tao, Eura, use any means so that Leona does not meet the crown prince. I don't want my sweet protege to be that trash concubine or the target of a noble's son, even to the point of embarrassment."

"Performed, Teacher."

"Do we have to tell him?"

"As far as you are."

The three young men immediately left from there.

"I'm betrothed to that spoiled kid who likes to whine? My empire will definitely be destroyed by it." Emperor Ein grumbled with an unaccepted expression while twitching his temples which suddenly hurt.

"I don't want to get married."

💠💠💠💠

"What?! Become the crown prince's concubine?" Beo Leona while putting on a foolish expression upon hearing the reports from the three youths before her. At once his mind felt empty.

The rest of his life will be spent in a gold cage without love like the angst wedding novel he once read. Or he will meet with one of the princes or sons of nobles and then take advantage of it because it is only interested in his abilities and personality like the fantasy romance manhwa that is always read.

"I DON'T WANT TO FUCK!!! Leona's screams made some servants and butlers close their ears, even the birds were scattering.

The three young men rubbed their ears because of buzzing. Leona's screams made their ears almost rupture.

"Didn't the bad rumors about you spread all over the kingdom? Even you were rumored to be pregnant and eloped with your personal servant." Wei Tao's Chirps.

"Then will they humiliate me in public? THAT'S RIGHT!!" Raung Leona didn't take it.

"It's possible that if you pair up with us, you'll be safe." Eura's Proposal.

"And your heads will be the decoration of the entrance of the palace. No thanks." Reply Leona while burrowing her head.

"What about your demon? Maybe they can help." This time Iven gave me some advice.

"And they ended up at the auction. No, no." Reject Leona raw. The girl seemed to think for a moment and an idea just came out when she saw the makeup brushes on her dresser.

"It looks like I should cosplay being a pretty man instead of wearing a disgusting dress. Aren't we going to be the emperor's bodyguards?" Leona's chirps while grinning.

"But Leona-sama, you are a noble lady. You should put your appearance and reputation first to attract the upper class nobles." Circlot Arelle.

"No, Arelle. I do not want to be chased by crazy people even to tragic fate. I'd rather live a quiet and comfortable life with my uncle in this beautiful countryside without thinking about the proposals of the nobles. Their status sometimes makes them arrogant and forget that their feet are still on the ground." Reply Leona was upset.

Arelle was only able to exhale in annoyance. When it comes to romance, Leona is not interested at all. The girl was more interested in discussing same-sex romance when she accidentally discussed romance, even a waiter reading a romance novel ended up crying because it was yaoi and lesbian because Leona switched books.

While the perpetrator only chuckles while smiling with a nose dripping with blood while reading the novel. Just contact the servants reluctant to discuss romance in front of Leona.

"Well, considering we're going to escort the emperor in late spring, there's no harm in master Carl preparing everything about us." Eura.

"I hope I don't go to that fucking party. That fucking noble must be up to something. We have to prepare ourselves." Leona warned.

"Are they going to mock us with a talent show? That's exhausting." Grouser Eura.

"Then we have to make a fuss with dance." Said Leona while doing some dance moves. They were stunned by Leona's movements.

"We're just training with dance."

"Leona Arathena Castallio ignored by Duke Castallio? Are you sure?" Asked a man with faded blue hair approaching white as he read a document presented by his assistant.

"According to the news, he managed to eradicate the rebellion overnight, Your Majesty."

"Bad rumors are circulating about him quite a lot. How will my image as a future king be if I have an empress like her? Iris is better than him anyway." He did not accept it while throwing the file he was carrying.

"But this is the will of His Majesty the King, Your Majesty." The assistant was polite.

"What good is he besides the trash from Castallio? After all, he has no magic and has been expelled from his own family. Moreover, she had married her personal servant. Even though he managed to eradicate the rebels, trash is still trash." Cynical crown prince with scorn.

His assistant chose silence. There are a lot of bad rumors going around about the girl. Although admittedly the girl had rare beautiful alluring eyes, yet no one glanced at the girl in the slightest.

In addition to the many bad rumors that spread, he had also never debuted a noble association. It is certain that the girl does not have strong relations in the noble class.

While the crown prince sighed in frustration. The strange girl who made a mess during the debutante of the students of Moon Shadow academy was famous as a royal trash can. Although admittedly her face was quite pretty, the girl was very strange.

Dancing with a squirrel, famous as a troublemaker, bar-bar and has no noble etiquette and no grace. He looks weak after all.

"Who is also interested in bar-bar people like him. I just want Iris to be my fiancee because she possesses rare light magic." The crown prince's absolute abdication.
