"Just shut up and stay still for a while. The Crown Prince\'s motives are unknown at this moment, but it wouldn\'t be surprising if he\'s trying to exploit the recent issue to his advantage."
The only daughter and the Eldest Young Lady of the Chevalier household, Lady Felicity said as she mumbled under her breath as well while scolding her second elder brother, but the Lady only saw that the latter was just pouting and didn\'t listen to her and was about to scold him once more when the older sibling intervene.
Altron; "Both of you, stop! Don\'t make a scene for now and we\'ll just make this quick and leave this place before the Crown Prince could spot us!"
The three of them maintained their composure as they walked into the banquet hall where all nobles within the empire were invited, and they mumbled to each other. Moreover, the Crown Prince hosted this banquet.
The Chevalier siblings didn\'t want to waste their time to mingle with these people and only attended because it was the Crown Prince of this Empire who host the banquet. Usually, they can reject the invitation since it\'s not their obligation to attend any banquets, but it\'s different if it\'s hosted by the Royal family.
They wanted to go home as soon as possible and to deal with the recent incident that happened within their household and the Marquis Chevalier household wasn\'t having a good time because that incident spread quickly within the noble society.
The nobles who were invited to the royal banquet were mocking the three siblings behind their backs, but they did not dare to confront them because of their own influential status within the noble society.
The first young master, Altron Zerux Chevalier, the heir apparent for the Marquis (Grand Duke) noble title, aside from inheriting his father\'s noble title, Altron also had a position in the Lumen Academy as one of its instructors for the Knight Division Department for Military Theory and Strategies since he came from the household of war heroes.
As for the second young master who should be the next-in-line, but he gave up and let his elder brother take up the mantle and be the heir apparent, he entered the empire\'s knight army at 12 years old and started from the bottom.
He worked hard to gain recognition from the people around him without taking advantage of his status as a Chevalier. After years of hard work and without relying on his family name, Harrison became the newest Knight Captain of the 10th Knight Squad and the youngest amongst the Knight Captains within the entire army at the age of 17.
Not only that, but His Majesty the Emperor also granted him peerage as a Baron. Two years had passed since then, and because of his countless contributions as he served the Empire in those two years when he formally took up the position as the Knight Captain, his peerage rise from Baron to Count, and the Emperor granted him a land of his own.
And the last but not the least, the only daughter and the Eldest Young Lady of the Chevalier household, Felicity is a 17-year-old young lady, but her composure and demeanor is like those matured noblewomen because there\'s no sign of her immaturity and arrogance unlike those other spoiled, pampered young ladies on her age.
A young woman who holds much more influence amongst her fellow peers and is a role model to all aristocratic young noble ladies in her generation.
As someone from the household of war heroes, it\'s not surprising for Felicity to become a swordswoman since she also possessed the Knight Warrior bloodline from their ancestors. Discover gems at m|v|l|e|mp|y|r.
She wasn\'t aiming to become a swordsmaster like her father and two older siblings, as she only wanted to learn their family\'s swordsmanship so that she could also live up to the name of her ancestors.
Nobody dared to openly mock them because they were afraid of being humiliated in return. The three of them had the support of not only their family name but also their own standing within the noble society.
After all, they were officially a Grand Duke household masquerading as a Marquis.
However, there were some nobles who were really brave enough to step up on them, like this one particular noble here, who were now confronting the Chevalier siblings with his mocking grin.
"So, how\'s the Marchioness, First Young Master Altron? Did she get a taste of her stepson\'s allure?"
The other nobles who were in the banquet looked at the scene and most of them couldn\'t help but shake off their heads because a certain idiotic noble who tried to smear some dirt on the three siblings by provoking those unspoken truths about the Marchioness.
But there were some nobles who were just watching on the sidelines and only waiting for an exciting show to happen.
\'Wow! The nerve of this no-name noble of whatever household he came from! I applaud your bravery for insulting the Marchioness right into our faces, especially calling out our elder brother with that mocking grin of yours. I wonder how long you\'re going to live, eh? ~~~\'
Harrison thought as he snickered and spoke with his usual carefree attitude; "Oh, what an interesting question you\'re asking! Well, I am afraid that we couldn\'t give you an appropriate answer for that question of yours! ~~~"
The people around them chuckled at the second young master\'s or much preferably, Count Harrison Wynfred Chevalier\'s words because of his usual carefree personality that everyone knew about it and the no-name noble couldn\'t help but twitch but was about to refute back when Harrison cut him off immediately.
" …. Oh! How about this? Why not make an appointment with the Marchioness and ask her that question? Don\'t worry about being targeted by the Marchioness because your appearance isn\'t that much of a good-looking so, your safe!"
