Chapter 39: THE RETURN OF THE BULLY
THE RETURN OF THE BULLY
"Not as disgraceful as your fat self in front of the prince and his pretty princess", I replied to Duke Erriley to his shock and anger.
The entire table, including the prince, was shocked by my response to the Duke of Erriley.
"Disrespectful bastards of the family, who gives you the right..", Duke Erriley said to me when I slammed a cake on his fat face.
"Hahaha", the little birthday princess laughed when I threw the cake on Erriley's face.
"How dare you?" Duke Erriley shouted to me as the entire banquet laughed at his cream filled face.
"I will kill you now", Duke Erriley screamed at me.
"Now, you heard him Prince Raslee, he is attempting to murder me. Attempted murder of an Earl is a crime punishable by death, is that correct?" I asked the prince.
"There is such a law", the prince replied to me.
Suddenly, Duke Erriley brandished his dagger to lunge at me with the intent to kill me.
"Now, everyone. This fat scum is trying to kill me, I can only defend myself if you don't stop him. Under the laws of Tarah city, killing by self-defense is allowed and legal", I told the court of the prince.
However, nobody moved to help me defend against Duke Erriley's assault.
As Erriley's dagger almost reached me, I quickly grabbed his hand and threw him to the ground before I took a chair to slam it in his face, breaking it.
"Help me you fool", Duke Erriley shouted to his assistants and guards.
They quickly rushed toward me to save the duke. However, these guards were clumsy. Their attempt to strike me, instead struck the duke. As they attacked me, I pulled up the fat duke as a shield to block the burly men's brute punch.
The entire court was stunned by the party fight in the princess' third birthday party. Everybody was shocked by the event, except the little princess who thought this was part of the show that we did for her.
"Stop it, don't fight in my daughter's party", Prince Raslee shouted to us.
However, the prince did not bring in his guards to stop us. His guards merely stood by him and his daughter and watched us fight.
"Oriese, stop fighting, I beg you", Orol pleaded with me to stop fighting.
By this time, my feet were standing on Duke Erriley's face while his guards were all on the floor with broken ribs and arms. The nobles of the city were wealthy and influential but were apparently hopeless fighters.
"Will you stop squashing the duke's face?, haha", Prince Raslee asked me without hiding his laughter.
"As you wish, your highness", I replied to the prince before giving Erriley one last kick.
Erriley quickly scurried away from me. Once he was at a safe distance, he turned back to scold me again.
"I will not let this go, you bastards of Kaleon. If there is no prohibition of magic in this hall, I will kill all of you", Duke Erriley shouted to me.
Magic was prohibited in the dining hall both as the law and as a result of magical artifacts that prevented the conjuring of magic in the hall. The duke wasn't a weak templar although his attributes were far weaker than mine.
"If the prince didn't plea for you, I will break the fat meat between your thighs and make you into a eunuch like those bloody apostles", I shouted to the duke.
"How dare you disrespect the holy members of our church? Do you want to make the church your enemy?" an influential priest shouted to me suddenly after my remark.
"There is no respect for those coward apostles and fat priests who only knows how to run when they face with demons", I replied to him.
"Blasphemy", the priest shouted back to me but couldn't argue with me.
It was well known that the apostles and priests of the Church of All-seeing all fled Starri city the moment the demon army arrived at the city. The people on the streets were angry with the church because of that and the brotherhood lost their respect in the city.
"Who are you to speak to us so arrogantly?" Duke Corrigey of Appolokis asked me angrily.
"Let me tell you who I am. I am Oriese Kaleon, the killer of demons, the maker of Eunuchs and the Bully of Starri City. Nobody dares disrespect me in Starri city and now in Tarah city. If you do, get ready to have your face squashed in the ground like that Eunuch Erriley and be ready to lose a useless piece of fat meat", I shouted back at Duke Corrigey who was shocked by my response.
"You dare make this entire city your enemy?" Minister Holden asked me in surprise.
"What is an enemy to a real Bully? I am the Biggest Bully in all of the Ten-Kingdoms, remember my name now, Oriese Kaleon, and don't get on my bad side", I replied to the minister who almost had a heart attack because of my words.
"Prince Raslee, are you going to tolerate such a scum in our noble society?" Duke Corrigey asked the prince.
"Erm… the Duke and Earl of Kaleon are the newest loyal subjects of our great city. I've told you that before this", Prince Raslee replied to the duke.
"Thank you, Prince Raslee. For that I will not smash this party today. Remember not to invite me again if these 'Scums' are coming", I replied to the prince as I walked away while Orol followed behind me closely.
Soon, we left the party.
"Oriese, we are in big trouble now. I thought your days as a bully is over, what happened to you there in the party?" Orol asked me.
"Father, this whole party is a set-up to humiliate us, don't you realize it by now. There is no way to deal with scum who disrespect us other than the strength of the fist. The more you give in to them, the more they will step all over you", I told him.
"What if the prince arrested you there and then? I was so worried that he would," Orol asked me.
"He probably won't because he is a clever prince. He will consider a lot of factors and possibilities and worry about things he need not worry about", I told Orol.
"I don't understand", Orol asked me.
"The prince will fear me when I do not act like he predicts. The more arrogant I am, the likelier the chance, a stronger force could be supporting me, if he thinks rationally", I told Orol.
