Chapter 52 (2/2)
She was the daughter of an earl household, and she had many wounds on her face She smiled and demanded Livia's compliance
“If you don't help, misfortune will come your way Sorroill also befall upon that Baltfault jerk, the stuck-up Anjelica, and your family”
When she said that, Livia hung her head and clenched her fist
“You'll meet Cara tomorrow Make your choice then, you dullard”
The duke daughter threatened Cara as well
“Do your job as well, or your household will be in trouble”
Cara was a bit frightened
“R, right!”
This was the first tiirl who had driven her into this far of a corner Livia spoke up to the girl, as abusing the power of her household to do as she pleased
“I, I don't think you should do so like this”
“Huh?”
Despite the duke daughter glaring at her, Livia continued
“Both Leon and Anjie are very strong people E, even with your threats, those till──”
When hearing that, the duke daughter laughed loudly Her hands were over her stomach
“Huh, what? Do you really think those two are your friends?”
“I, I do!”
When Livia talked back, the duke daughter grabbed her by the hair and dragged Livia's face closer to hers
“nobles have no such things as friends Anjie knows that the most You're just her pet who's there to alleviate her heartbreak Do you not comprehend that?”
“Y, you're wrong!”
“I'm not When a noble is on a decline, the people around them will soon separate from that person It's not an uncommon for friends to betray others This is Anjelica we're talking about You know it yourself just froth co To her, you're not human She treats you kindly because you're her pet”
“I am not a pet I am a human! Those two are my important──”
“You know nothing Just what can you do for those two?”
“──Huh?”
Livia was quickly flustered in response to the duke daughter's words
That had to do with Livia's distress
She wondered if she would always be protected by those two, and if there was so she could do for them
“Baltfault is more or less a noble credited with deeds Anjelica is a natural-born pompous lady with assets and power Are you really equal to those two? Friendshi+p is aht?”
“T, that's──”
Livia's gaze wavered
“Can't talk back, can you? In the end, you're not friends No loss over it, everyone sees you as a pet to those two”
This was her first experience confronting the duke daughter alone Normally, Leon would protect her However, Leon wasn't here Anjie wasn't here either
“Ah, I get it! Since you have that cute appearance, couldn't it be that he's after your body? Baltfault shouldn't be qualified as noble if he's going after a commoner due to his unpopularity How pathetic~”
“You're wrong! Leon isn't that kind of──”
“That's howoff a bit of your clothes They'll soon jus considered You'vethe acadeside us It seeh discipline is necessary for you”
Livia was thrusted away, and while she was rolling on the floor, a few girls entered the scene frohter
They began laying waste to the room
“S, stop it! Stop this!”
The duke daughter grinned
“What a duht”
A teacher, who had been patrolling around the women's dormitory, had arrived at a troubled Livia's room
“Teacher, please help These people──”
However, when the duke daughter looked at the teacher with a s to see
“──Huh?”
“Do you understand now? You aren't equal to us──commoner”
Livia was shocked at how even the teachers had abandoned her
When she sat dohere she was and sobbed, the people around her began to laugh
“You made her cry”
“So this is what commoners amount to”
“And she thought that she was at the same level as us, she doesn't know her place”
The duke daughter left the door, accompanied by Cara
“Well then, I'm off”
The other girls also left while ridiculing Livia Once Livia closed the door, she sat there, at her wits' end
A sobbing Livia pondered theunder his protection
The disadvantage was that her opportunities to grow in strength would be nearly gone because she was being protected by Leon
Threatened by earl daughter, Livia decided to participate in the suppression of the sky pirates
