Bab 221: 216 ※ Duchess Remington's Ball [VI]

"PRINCESS?" ONE OF THE GIRLS GASPED in shock at my reaction.

But I couldn't care less. "How dare you try to pick a fight with a Royal member from the main branch of the strongest House in the Empire only after the Imperial House Caspien itself? Are you all mad? Or... I was joking a second ago, but do you actually wish to die?"

I gave them a wicked smile, and I felt Callie's goosebumps by the hand I was still holding. Still tempted to break it.

"All the men I killed, a bit more than 20 full-grown men, not only could wield magic but were also assassins... Is that why you are bothering me? You want me to kill you? I can take up the task happily if that's what you are here for." And showing them how serious I was, with my free hand, I took the dagger that was hidden in my tight, from under my skirt and pointed the sharp edge at them. "If that's it, I can make it happen!" My gaze went to Callie again, "I supposed you want to be the first one, no?"
