Duke Ukhan licked his lips as he grasped the hooded figure by the throat. Raising his hand, he reached out for the hood and lowered it.
When he did so, something unexpected caught his attention.
"Interesting..."
His voice bordered on amusement and annoyance.
Presented in front of him was what seemed to be a male wearing a white mask. It covered his entire face, only exposing his blonde hair.
The Duke opened his mouth and made sure his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I wonder what gave you the confidence to attack a noble in front of everyone?"
While everyone present was a 'noble', the term could also signify a purer bloodline as compared to the others, with the seven houses placing more emphasis on them.
At this very moment, Duke Ukhan was using this pretext to find trouble with the person who had just saved Priscilla.
Had it not been for him...
"Tsk."
He clicked his tongue and grasped more tightly.
