"Wait, Luna! I wanted to make up! In this letter you wrote that you want to make peace with me! Have you deceived me?"

Fersen gripped Luna's hand more and more. She felt a stinging pain, and immediately hit him on the arm, trying to break out of his grasp.

At this point, Baron and Royer hastily tried to stop Fersen.

"Master! What the hell are you doing ?! "

"Guardians! Guards! "

Everyone was surprised by what had happened, the guards surrounded Fersen. Polkan hurried to the aid of his client and began to be indignant, cursing the guards.

"How dare you treat Mr. Rodrian like that. Let him go now!"

There were no violent riots. But Fersen insistently wanted to get an answer from Luna, she, in turn, holding her hand, for which he grabbed it and squeezed tightly, answered.

"You cheated? I just presented your letter as evidence! I didn't forge the letter, did I? What about reconciliation? Did I say that?"

"You made it clear in the letter sent to me!"

It was obvious that he still received a letter from Luna, but Fersen was angry at Luna's reaction, which, as if for the first time had heard of their reconciliation.

"What are you talking about? I wrote that I want to resolve our misunderstanding as soon as possible, and perhaps think about our relationship. Did I talk about reconciliation?"

"...What?"

"Do you always do that? I say one thing, but you understand something completely different. And as I wrote in the letter, all this greatly influences me. That is why I presented this letter in court."

Luna did not feel well, as if she had bathed in mud after this act. One side of her character was glad that now everything would fall into place.

Fortunately, this time, Fersen understood everything correctly, it was evident from his shocked face, he stood rooted to the spot.

After the reading of the letter, and the words of Luna, he reeled a little, as if one more word, and he would collapse right in the middle of the court.

"How ... How can you do this to me ?! Have you been bewitched by Antares !? Is that so !?"

I thought that at least this time he understood everything, but it seems it is not so. Fersen remained the same Fersen.

He blamed Antares again as if he couldn't live without him. All negative events that took place in his life were attributed to him.

I didn't care whether he understood or not, this is where our relationship with him would end anyway. Luna decided to thrust her last dagger so that there would be no regrets.

"How many times have I told you that he has nothing to do with it, you blame him for all the troubles, because you yourself hate him. Even if everyone in this world dies and we are left alone, I hate you so much that I would rather die than make peace with you."

"...! "

"No, I changed my mind, if we are alone, I would rather kill you, my life is dearer to me. Why should I die for you? So please go before I kill you."

After finishing her emotional monologue, Luna grabbed Royer and the Baron by the arms, turned violently, and left the courtroom.

The accusation was loud, but Luna understood what she was talking about and spoke about the murder without even batting an eye.

"Wasn't Mistress Luna in love with Mister Fersen? I heard that she became a hindrance between him and Mrs. Granada."

"Yes, I also heard about it. What the hell? This whole situation is so strange ..."

"It sounded a little harsh ... Apparently Mr. Rodrian made her very angry."

The spectators, who had not yet left the courtroom, were whispering quietly among themselves. Being on this court was so much more than just a sight.

Polkan hurriedly left the courthouse, not thinking about Fersen.

***

"Luna has betrayed me. She is clearly fascinated by Antares."

"Luna betrayed me and chose him."

After receiving Luna's letter, he expected their relationship to improve a little, but in the end, it was all a ploy to push him into a pit. It was a lie.

In the carriage returning to the Duke's residence, Fersen sat, covering his face with his palms.

"How the hell could Luna do this to me!"

I thought she was just kidding. Luna has always had a weird sense of humor.

I thought it was all to get my attention. After I started dating Seira seriously and spent less time with her, she changed.

No, obviously it was. I am sure about that. My feelings have never let me down.

But apparently not this time. Because of her, people got the wrong opinion about me.

It seemed like the whole world collapsed the moment she deceived me. I couldn't believe that Luna hated me.

This was the most offensive. Luna has been deceiving me all this time ...

All the rest of the way Fersen thought only about this.

"... I won't leave this alone."

Fersen wiped his tear-stained face with the back of his hand.

He will not forgive Luna and Antares, who dared to write him a false letter and turn his life into a living hell.

Returning to the Duke's residence, Fersen immediately went to his room and found Luna's letter. This was the first letter he received from her, so he kept it in a place where no one could find it.

Tearing it into small pieces, he could not stand his anger and started throwing things all over the room.

Meanwhile, when it became known that Fersen had returned, the duke and the butler went to his room.

"Please, sir ...!"

The servant, who stood in front of Fersen's room, and not knowing what to do, only bowed to the duke, letting him in to his son.

Since Fersen was going crazy, it was clear that a scandal was about to happen. The servant closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to see it.

However, contrary to expectations, the Duke quietly stared at Fersen, who was angry and resentful.

He did not get angry or reproach. The Duke's gaze was very calm. He watched Fersen blame Luna and Antares until Polkan appeared a little later.

"Have you lost the trial?"

"Feh, Mr. Fersen wrote a letter, which Lady Pales confessed, but did not tell me about it ...! He gave the letter right in court, I could not stop him ...!"

Polkan, expecting that accusations would fly at him, answered with great tension in his voice. The butler also expected a very different reaction.

But unexpectedly for everyone, the duke did not get angry. He opened his mouth without looking at Polkan.

"Write me a report. As detailed as possible. Do not miss a single trifle, report everything that happened in court."

"Good."

"Right now."

Polkan, who had expected to hear the enraged cries of the duke, thought about the assignment given to him in surprise and hurriedly went to carry it out. As soon as he disappeared, the duke spoke again.

"I told him that if he loses the trial, I will kill him, but I don't want to do that."

According to Polkan, it was not his fault. But to some extent, the duke was glad that everything happened like this, he believed that Fersen finally got rid of this girl.

Now that he was angry, he would be more comfortable taming his successor to fit his designs. His honor was no longer possible to return, but the duke decided to survive from this situation his advantages.

"Watch him closely so that he doesn't mess with this girl anymore. Use Seira Granada, make sure she comes back. We must grow him into a worthy successor to the duke."

"Yes, I understand."

It was clear that he had no intention of being left out.

"Get rid of the man who ruined everything. Please. I will pay for this."

Fersen could not be killed, so the duke needed a sacrifice to get rid of his anger.

"... Good."

"Don't forget to correct the rumors. I don't want to hear more about what happened today. When it gets quiet, do something with that damn family."

"Yes, sir."

This was the last word he spoke. The Duke put his hand on the butler's shoulder, as if trying to figure out what had been done.

The butler bowed to him and quickly made his way to obey orders. Since there was a lot of work to be done, he had to prioritize and prioritize things.

Firstly, he needed to correct all the rumors circulating among the people.

Perhaps all these frivolous people attending the court hearing had already begun to spread rumors, but most likely they did not spread too far.

While only a handful of people know about it, it can still be corrected than when the whole continent knows about it. In any case, this is connected with the Duke's family, so no one will openly talk about it.

Secondly, you need to put a man to Fersen who will capture his heart.

It took some sacrifice and effort. Seira Granada, was his girlfriend, she was the best fit for this role.

"Come to think of it, he didn't care that Seira didn't come to him because he had been busy lately."

It wasn't like her. She was always the first to visit Fersen and was always by his side.

"Perhaps she was offended that his attention was not riveted on her."

The butler urgently needed to get in touch with her. No one could comprehend Fersen's heart as she did.

As the goals were determined, the butler's steps quickened. Moreover, he had to do his best not to tarnish the honor of the Duke's family.

The butler returned to his office, found a stationery and a pen. He began to write a letter, the recipient of which was Seira Granada.
