Chapter 273: Chase him down

The duke didn't mind the silence as his eyes were still on me. 

With the way that he was looking at me, it was almost as if he was expecting something from me, but I really didn't know what to say.

In the end, I didn't have to say anything as Veronica herself suddenly charged into the room.

She ran right past everyone and went right up to the duke sitting behind the desk. She grabbed a bunch of paper from the desk and rolled it up into a tube before smacking the duke right on the head with it.

There was even more silence that followed after that smack as even the duke didn't believe that his daughter would do this to him.

All of the knights were so afraid of what was happening that they had taken a step back and pretended like they didn't exist.

Finally, Veronica took a deep breath and let it out before saying, "Sir Zwein, please don't mind what my father was saying. It is nothing more than some murmurs in his sleep."
