The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 69

Castallio's residence has suddenly been in shock since last night. Because those in Iris' room heard a shrill laughter, making Iris faint instantly. And this morning the girl was crying hysterically in light of what happened to her.

"Don't go too far, miss. You're kind of getting harassed by a bunch of crooks, when it's just a nightmare." Cibir Lucas blatantly found Iris weeping.

"Shut up, you! You lowly servant!" Maki Iris while throwing some stuff towards Lucas. The middle-aged man avoided Iris's throw easily.

"This lowly servant has been working long before the duke master picks you up, Miss." He replied casually while bowing respectfully.

'Luckily, Miss Leona gave me a book that contained how to answer insults and mockery with elegant servant style.' Lucas's inner self with a slanted smile.

"I retreat first. I still have a lot of work." Pamit Lucas and soon leave Iris still sobbing.

After Lucas' departure, Iris screamed her emotions. For some reason since Leona's death, everything has changed. The servants did not fight him, but their words pierced his heart.

Everyone knows he is the crown prince's fiancee. Yet somehow he felt the servants in this house were so brash at him. Likewise with some soldiers and guards who seemed reluctant to control him.

Lucas has lately disliked Iris for being disdainful and mean to them since becoming engaged to the crown prince. Leona's never even been this bad. At least he just yelled or punched the wall. Leona never once threw anything.

Even when annoyed with a servant, he pranks his all-out until satisfied.

Lucas breathed a tired breath. The news of Leona's death three years ago left her shaken. The middle-aged man already considered Leona like his own biological daughter.

Her little heart tells Leona that she is still alive and is planning revenge. The man will support her if Leona is really still alive and comes to her.

If Leona had died like the rumors were going around, Lucas hoped he would come to her even in a dream.

💠💠💠💠

Leona stretched her body. Somehow he felt someone staring at his face intensely which made him feel breathless.

"Leona-sama." A familiar baritone voice greeted his hearing.

Leona opened her eyes and frowned when she found two handsome men's faces spaced quite close to her, not forgetting the tiger ears perched sweetly on their heads. It looks pretty cute and is suitable for washing eyes in the morning.

"Good morning, Leona-sama. Is your sleep good?" Sapa Kei with black panther ears poking at his head.

"Good morning, Leona-sama. Do you want to clean yourself up first?" Sapa Ken who also let out his tiger ear. On one of his arms was a towel.

"Remove your faces. You're too close." Said Leona with a distinctive sound of waking up.

Kei and Ken moved their faces away from Leona. The girl immediately sat down to collect her life that was still wandering around. Sometimes he seemed to yawn while stretching his body.

"Sleep soundly. Thanks though. Can you guys get out first? I'm gonna get ready." Dispel Leona while shaking her hand, not forgetting to take a towel that was draped in Ken's hand.

"But Leona-sama–"

'Brakh'

Their words were cut off by the pounding of the bathroom door which was now tightly closed. Making him the demon man glanced at each other in confusion.

Leona and Kei and Ken take a walk in a village on the beach. The village has a beautiful view. Clear blue sea combined with black sand, the beach does not have high waves that make the mood of Leona suddenly plummeted. Intention to surf even void.

But all of it is treated with the beauty like a fairyland. Walking slightly to the east, he saw a green hill that jutted slightly into the sea, below which there is an arrangement of rocks that in such a way add to its charm.

This beach is still empty. No visitors want to come to him because according to the surrounding residents, there is a monster that inhabits the sea. Many fishermen have disappeared there since a few months ago.

According to rumors, there was a giant squid monster with bull horns on its head. The monster appeared a few months ago making this village deserted visitors, already many mercenaries who tried to capture and kill the squid, but nothing worked.

The three of them became the center of attention. Leona who had a pretty face in the flank by two handsome men made the girls scream with envy. Not to mention the young men who were staring at them enviously for being able to walk alongside such a rare looking beautiful girl.

"Sister, how do we eat first? I'm hungry." Whine Leona on Kei. Kei and Leona have something in common. Both have red eyes and black hair, but there is a slight stripe like a cat's whisker on Kei's right cheek.

"Sure, Leona." Sahut Kei's. The two of them were already used to doing disguise missions as sisters. Even though the man was a little awkward.

To Leona, Kei and Ken were already like her own brothers. And to them, Leona was her treasured master. They loved her like her own sister even though her behavior was quite miraculous.

💠💠💠💠

Iven, Wei Tao and Eura grumbled. Maybe Leona chose to run away when the dance will be held tomorrow. Leona was supposed to prepare for such an important event, but the girl chose to make a furore at the Castallio residence and went on vacation with her three silhouettes.

Jim only chuckled mockingly at the expression of the three young men before him. Leona does not like parties, even tends to avoid her. The girl prefers to roam freely without liking formalities or *****other whimpering. She's a free girl.

"So, Leona gave you guys false hope?" Jim asked with his eyebrows raised. Their intention was to pick Leona up, who would have thought that the girl had left yesterday afternoon somewhere.

"Yes, Sir." Answer the three compact.

"That's lucky for you guys." Ejek Kazuma who was standing behind Jim who made the three men turn towards him.

"Leona-sama doesn't like parties other than making a fuss. If you want to take her to an official show, you need to have a tactic so she doesn't run away before the show starts." Arelle made her voice

He remembered how hard it was to persuade Leona during her debut party first. If it wasn't for the demon race in this residence, it's possible that Leona hadn't made her debut yet. The girl was really an expert in hiding.

"If you want to take Leona-sama to an official event, make sure you can give her the right excuse, or at least make her lose the argument." Xavier.

The three of them heard the words of the servant at Leona's residence. Does the girl have previous bad experiences that make her reluctant to attend official events?

"I heard the news while working as a servant at the Castallio residence first. He had a bad experience when checking which mana was attended by all the nobles and people in the kingdom of Seanthuria. He got a lot of insults and insults that traumatized the girl." Jim revealed the facts that made them flinch.

So she Leona who is considered a duke family trash by everyone just has no mana? It is fitting that she never cared about the etiquette of nobility or other lady-lady associations. Even the girl was more often in training and hidden places.

But they don't care. The important thing is that she's a girl doesn't suck even though it's a troublemaker. Instead, they want to thank them for helping them earn money and become strong.

They loved Leona as a friend, nothing more. Although they initially put their feelings on Leona, but they did not impose their will. Being a girl's best friend was more than enough for them.

💠💠💠💠💠

Leona fell asleep on a small hill that jutted into the sea. With a tiger on her pillow, a squirrel who became her puppet as well as a black panther that became her blanket, made the girl completely sleep.

The sun was tilting west and soon dusk was coming. Leona stretched her body and felt something heavy befall her body. He rubbed his eyes for a while and found Kei sleeping hugging him in the form of a black panther.

Leona could only smile a little. They look so adorable. Their soft fur makes Leona feel at home petting them for a long time.

The distinctive purr of the cat sounded from the two predatory animals before something distracted him. When he accidentally stared at the sea, he saw something unnatural there.

A large tentacle of black color appeared from there making the calm sea water now turn into irregular surging.

Leona immediately wakes Kei, Ken and Kaze. Instantly they woke up and changed into their human form. They stared at something there like they were stalking prey while growling.

"What's up, Kei, Ken?" Ask Leona curiously.

"It's a squid monster with buffalo horns, Leona-sama." Report Ken.

Kei and Ken and other predatory demons have sharp hearing and smell and have a vision that is able to see objects clearly even though the distance of view reaches five kilometers.

"Wow."

Leona looked at the huge monster in amazement. His mind began to wander, imagining the monster before him was a giant sweet-sour roasted squid with expanding tentacles. Instantly his saliva dripped imagining his absurd delusion.

'Play'

Ken slapped Leona with his tail. The man knew what was on his master's mind as he stared at the monster.

"Leona-sama, stop your silly thoughts."

"We're party!" Exclaimed Leona spirit who immediately got a grin from all three silhouettes.
