The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 61

"Your Majesty, I heard that Lady Leona and her friend wanted to perform a performance. Are you pleased with their appearance, Your Majesty?" Iris asked the king of Grambiel in an imploring tone. However Leona could see a mocking smile on the girl's face.

Instantly all eyes stared at them humbly. Which immediately dropped their mood.

"All of a sudden I miss Kazuma, Kei or Ken. I'd like to award her a special dessert to them." Furious Leona.

"I don't think about the girl's way of thinking." Eura chirps annoyed.

"Do I need to make her the latest sculpture art? The price must be high at auction." Cynical Iven.

"Truly sucks." Said Wei Tao flat.

"What do you think, Emperor? Would you like to see their show?" King Grambiel asked Emperor Ein.

Emperor Ein could only help but laugh when he saw the expressions of the four Carl proteges who were holding back in annoyance. A stupid idea just popped into his head.

"Of course."

'Doeng'

The four of them could only swatdrop ria. Then he turned his head towards Carl who was standing at the window with a glare. But unexpectedly the man only gestured through the mouth to do the dance.

With a forced Leona approached the music player and gave instructions. After a while, the girl beckoned her three comrades to form a formation.

Music played at a fast tempo. They started doing some dancing at one time. In just a short time they managed to amaze the audience. Even Iris whose initial intention of wanting to take them down was precisely annoyed herself.

Emperor Ein clapped his hands to resuscitate the audience at the follow-up by Carl. Slowly rumbling applause rang out filling the palace hall.

"Haha... What a beautiful dance. I've never seen such an energetic dance." Said King Grambiel with a satisfied face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your looks are absolutely incredible. By the way, what kind of gift would they deserve, King Grambiel?" Emperor Ein said as he looked at the now nervous King Grambiel.

When it comes to gifts, at least King Grambiel only gives a box of gold. But in order to raise the image of a benevolent King, he was forced to take out his rare gem.

"I want to give you a rare gem of mine. The waiter! Get me a piece of my gem!" King Grambiel shouted firmly.

"Hoho... You are a wise king." Emperor Ein said cheerfully.

And sure enough, the King gave them a gift in the form of a jewel that was immediately welcomed with joy by the Devil team. Moreover, the gems are rare gems that are very difficult to get.

The gift made the attendees who were present could only stare in envy. Iris and Queen Lydia.

💠💠💠💠

"Heh, we didn't expect to get a box of rare gems." Say Iven cheerfully. Now the four of them are in the park enjoying the night breeze.

"Didn't you guys see how the empress and Iris were looking at the box of rare gems? Their faces look like fools." Leona said with a mocking tone.

"Didn't it be fun to make them emotional? The mask is so clear." Eura chimed in with spirit.

"Hoho... I'm thinking of something, right." Said Leona while putting on a thinking pose that made them sigh heavily. I don't know what else the girl thought.

"We've been outside a long time, we'd better get back." Wei Tao said as he stood up, followed by his three friends.

"of course. After all, the teacher would be dizzy if we weren't there. Isn't it nice to make teacher Carl panic?" Leona said with a grin.

The atmosphere in the party hall still looked crowded once they arrived there. It looks like the nobles are in groups as if forming their own group.

"Hee~ It's nothing more than a sycophant." Leona's chirps suddenly just got an elbow from Wei Tao.

"Shut up or we get in trouble if anyone hears." Tegur Wei Tao was annoyed.

'Prank!!'

Instantly the atmosphere was suddenly silent when he heard the sound of shards. They turned to the origin of the voice and saw queen Errena holding her chest with an expression of pain. His body began to stagger before finally collapsing.

'Brukh'

"Mother!" Prince Khalix cried when he saw his mother lying weak. While the princesses standing in the crowd ran over to Queen Errena with panicked faces.

The kasak kusuk is starting to sound. The hall began to fill the panic of the nobles present in the palace and suspected this incident.

"Gather all the guests! Nobody come out and search them!" Emperor Ein began to give orders.

"Do what the Emperor commands!" King Grambiel. Given the position of the Emperor is higher than him, so King Grambiel would not want to obey his orders.

All the nobles gathered and were searched, but there was no evidence whatsoever. Even they did not find any suspects among the nobles.

"Maybe an insider, Your Majesty." Emperor Ein.

"Ah, maybe. Let me check on the insider, sire. There might be internal problems in the palace." King Grambiel said politely.

Iris immediately let out her light magic, in a short time the poison that was in the queen's body began to disappear and her face was no longer pale.

After finishing treating queen Errena, suddenly appeared a few black-robed people and attacked the party hall which made them panic.

One of them took Leona hostage by drawing a sword on the girl's neck. Instantly Eura, Iven and Wei Tao could only stare at the hostage-taker with looks of pity.

💠💠💠💠

"No one moves or this girl dies!" Excite one of them. Several warriors came breaking through the hall with unsheathed swords and protecting their master.

Leona pushed the sword stuck to her neck while yawning widely. Instead of being afraid, the girl just calmed down as if the sword was just a tree branch.

The hostage-taker angrily restrained the sword on Leona's neck. And Leona who was now in a bad mood just brushed off the hostage taker's hand to make her sword thrown far enough.

'Brakh'

Leona also casually slammed the cloaked man to the point of making him grimace in pain and sounding a terrible crack.

'Fire ball'

A ball of fire rushed towards Leona. Casually the girl dodged the fireball and the fireball hit a pillar close to the empress' seat.

Empress Lydia was shaking from the shock. He did not expect that the fireball attack that shot out almost knew him.

"Protect the Emperor and the king's family!" Called a soldier. Soon they evacuated the king and empress. Prince Khalix has brought queen Errena after being treated by Iris.

The emperor himself refused to go and chose to settle there. He just watched an interesting show.

"Hey, the shot missed, huh." Leona's ejek while removing his firearm in the form of a dessert Eagle and shot towards one of the people who was still lying below him.

'Dour'

The man was killed with a hole in his head. Leona casually blew the end of the barrel that was still emitting smoke.

"Can't magic doesn't mean weak. Not having any mana is not a problem as long as you want to train and work hard." Leona said as she looked at the cloaked person coldly.

Seeing one of his comrades die made them ignite anger. They immediately attacked Leona blindly.

Leona casually dodged as she shot towards the black-robed people, and occasionally launched some mua thai moves. Assisted by several soldiers and nobles, in a short time they managed to cripple the black-robed people.

The nobles who saw Leona's action could only look at her in amazement. Some of the men were disinclined by Leona's actions which turned out to be a martial arts expert.

"Well, you're really great." Praise Eura while giving her thumb.

"Because I often practice to the point of going over the limit." Reply to Leona arrogantly while attaching her cloak on the shoulder.

Those who heard Leona's words could only be stunned. So all this time they've only heard lies? While the noble girls only stared at Leona in astonishment, there were even those who were envious of her.

"You killed them, Leona. How do we get information?" Wei Tao asked as he examined the cloaked people lying in blood still pouring out.

"Oh? That one over there is alive, huh." Leona relaxed as she pointed to one of the desks that had been destroyed. There was a cloaked man who was unconscious.

The crown prince who saw the ruined party just stabbed Leona from behind to penetrate her body. Instantly those who witnessed it gasped in shock, some even screamed hysterically.

'Jleb's'

"Leona!"

Leona just stared flat at the tip of the sword that pierced through her body and then tried to break away. He looked at the crown prince who was now staring fiercely at him.

"You planned this on purpose, right? You were so jealous of everything Iris had that you attacked the empress and invited a hitman. I decided to punish you for death, traitor!" The crown prince spoke with fury.

'Uhuk'

Leona spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"You sure?" Leona asked and looked at Iris who was now widening her eyes. Yet he saw a triumphant smile on the girl's face.

"I've never been jealous of what Iris has." Leona said with honesty.

"Iris, I don't know why you hate me. You took my family, destroyed my reputation. But I'm not gonna bother with any of that. If my death was your wish, you'd have it. Congratulations."

'Brukh'

The Emperor immediately restrained Leona's body, which was now helplessly sprawled with blood seeping through her body like a fountain. Iven, Wei Tao, Eura and Carl looked at him with sadness.

Calvian and Emillio saw it coming towards Leona. There was a look of sadness and regret in the eyes of the two men.

"Isn't... Huh... Is this what you guys want? I've forgiven you..." Leona said and the girl's eyes closed.

The ending isn't yet, guys.. There's more.
