"Fersen! "

The duke walked through the palace, shouting the name of his son.

"...!"

Fersen, not understanding what was happening, was speechless.

"What is this ...!"

Broken bottles and glasses rolled around the room. The curtains and furniture were damaged. And there were drops of blood on the expensive carpet.

Fersen looked at his angry father in disbelief.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen him like that.

"What the hell is this!"

The duke shouted furiously. Fersen rubbed his swollen eyelids at the sudden screams.

"Brat!"

The Duke took a piece of crystal from the cupboard and threw it at Fersen.

The adornment that fell at his feet shattered, and the already messy room became even more chaotic.

"...Father?"

Fersen tried to figure out what had gone wrong.

He never had extraordinary talent, but he was a hardworking and sincere child.

He understood that it was a matter of time before they were overtaken by the Vincent family, with whom they had not communicated for a long time.

'So I trained for a long time, but then why couldn't I do anything at the decisive moment?'

The thought ate him from the inside.

"Bring cold water!"

The servant who stood outside the door, on the orders of the duke, ran for cold water.

After splashing it in Fersen's face, the Duke began to get angry again.

"Get out of the house if you're going to be like that! I'd rather raise a new receiver than correct your mistakes!"

"..."

"How did you even manage to grow up so stupid!"

The Duke wondered if the problem was not with him, but with his mother.

Fersen, who had been listening to the duke all this time, suddenly began to cry.

"Father ... I really want to die."

"What...!?"

His son, because of whom he was so angry, did not ask for forgiveness, but said that he wanted to die.

"Luna...! Luna!"

But before explaining what the matter was, Fersen said the name of Luna.

The Duke, not expecting to hear such words, calmed down a little, asked Fersen.

"Tell me what happened ?!"

"Luna...! Luna said she would have a relationship with him ...!"

After receiving a disappointing answer, the duke hit Fersen.

Fersen fell to his knees and groaned.

"I can't believe that you are my son! Lock him up so he doesn't go out!"

The Duke hit Fersen again, turned over the closet and left the room as if he didn't want to see his son again.

"Luna ... Why is Antares with her ...! Why the hell am I not next to ...!"

Fersen was very drunk and muttered something to himself.

The butler, staring at Fersen, who could not get up on his own, took a deep breath and shouted to the servants who stood outside the door.

"What are you standing !? Put everything in order here and call the doctor!"

The servants quickly fled, following the butler's orders.

Meanwhile, the butler, trying to help Fersen, called the servant, who began to collect the broken bottles.

"Throw it away and call a lawyer."

"Right now? Maybe in the morning ...? "

"Call him now!"

When the Duke disappeared, the butler remained in charge. So the servant bowed his head and walked away in silence.

***

The lawyer intuitively guessed that something not very good had happened, since he was summoned to the duke at such a late hour.

"What happened?"

"I also do not know the details, the sooner you come, the sooner you will find out."

The lawyer wanted to know the reason. But when he saw the stone face of the servant, he realized that it was a useless undertaking to learn the details from him.

Walking quickly into the Duke's office, the lawyer quietly shook his head when he saw the Duke drinking alcohol with a serious face.

"There is a family that needs pressure."

The duke spoke up without even looking at the lawyer's face.

"This is the Pales family. They are too presumptuous and confusing. Especially one ferocious girl who seems completely distraught. "

"Good."

Not knowing what was happening, the lawyer politely bowed his head. After that, when the duke was silent, he quietly left the room.

The butler was waiting outside the door. As usual, the butler silently escorted the lawyer to the waiting room.

The lawyer stood in disbelief, trying to understand what had happened before his arrival.

"If the Duke wants to put Baron Pales behind bars, it won't be so easy."

"So you can't do it?"

"No, I just mean it can be a little troublesome. And on top of that, I think it could have serious consequences."

"It's not your job to think about the consequences. We need you to take care of this quietly and quickly, so that the reputation of the Duke's family does not deteriorate further ..."

The butler said with a haughty face, as if testing the ability of a lawyer. The lawyer, in turn, nodded confidently.

"Good. Have you ever seen me wrong? We will take care of this, so solve your problems and leave this one to me."

"So it's decided."

The butler handed him a document detailing the case.

Having received it, the lawyer quickly examined the documents, got up from his seat and asked.

"Isn't harming the Duke's heir a death penalty?"

"The Duke cannot do this. If we do that, we cannot say for sure how Fersen will react to it."

"No physical punishment at all?"

The butler shook his head, remembering what young Fersen said: "I met a very beautiful, sweet girl!"

"Ordinary people are punished for less. But Fersen likes this girl, so our hands are tied."

"Yeah... it would be much easier that way. Good. When I am done, I will let you know."

This was the end of the conversation. The butler handed over the documents with a cold face and saw the lawyer out.

The lawyer, seeing that he drove away from the duke's house, removed his confident expression and frowned.

"This is completely Fersen's fault ..."

"What did this girl say when she got people in trouble in the middle of the night?"

However, he was not going to lose the trial. Since there is no evidence in any case, it can be said that this never happened.

He did not like the fact that he would have to sue the already poor family of the baron.

"Maybe first scare them a little?"

It was a very powerful method. The differences between the families were so huge that if they were scared, they would be easier to deal with. That was life.

Arriving at the mansion, the lawyer quickly wrote a letter.

It's best not to give other people time to think if you have something to lose. The faster the letter gets written, the better.

***

Luna received a letter from Duke Rodrian's lawyer, even before she could form her own point of view.

The attack on Fersen Rodrian, the successor of the duke, and leaving his job without permission, without completing the work properly, these were the reasons stated in the letter.

There was no mention of how Fersen held the baron all night, not letting him go to his home, which was the only evidence.

[I look forward to your sincere response from the Pales family. Duke Rodrian's lawyer, Rose Polcan.]

Luna, having read the final content of the letter, tore it in half and threw it in the trash.

The result of the diligent work of the lawyer, which he wrote until dawn, was trampled to pieces, beyond recognition.

"This is madness!"

"Ah, young lady ...!?"

Emma and Laura, who were standing nearby, tried to calm Luna.

"Good. It will be better if we collect evidence, it is obvious that it is his fault, so that nothing terrible will happen."

It can be said that the one who quickly goes to court wins, because this did not even give the other side time to think.

Luna, who was thinking about something, rolled her eyes for a moment at the word of proof, said something unexpected.

"Could there be evidence ... Fersen's confession?"

"Yes. But can we get Fersen's recognition ...?"

Emma asked in disbelief.

But Luna thought differently. She knew Fersen very well.

"I will write a letter."

"Letter...?"

"Yes. This will be a letter in which I will ask you to explain in detail what happened that day, and to apologize for all his misdeeds, in return promising him to resolve our misunderstanding and to communicate with him again as before. I think we'll get an answer and use that as evidence."

Knowing his obsession, Luna knew that he would definitely answer.

"You want to hit the weakest point."

Royer noticed clearly. In their situation, there would be no better proof.

"But secretly delivering a letter is a problem."

"But it is possible. The duke always has a lot to do. Taking advantage of this, we can secretly deliver the letter to Fersen's room. However, it will be more difficult to get an answer ..."

It can be much more difficult to get an answer as the identity of the person who left the letter can be revealed.

Luna, worried about this, asked.

"What if I get an answer in court? He will write it in a letter. "

The downside is that the letter can only be seen on the day of the trial, but it was simply helpful.

"... It's a good idea."

Royer summed up.

Luna also thought that she could part with Fersen forever at this opportunity.

"Win this case. And this annoying leech will never be able to come to our family again. If you do this, I will give you everything."

Luna was even ready to give him a gold mine.

There was no better gift for a lawyer than an actively helping client. Of course, this did not mean that he did not want to receive a reward. Royer decided to publicize what he wants as a reward.

"Yes. Good. Then, in turn, I would like to ask you to stay on good terms with Antares in the future."

"..."

Hearing these words, a deep wrinkle appeared on Luna's forehead, from the most difficult request in her life.
