In the endeavour's building.
In a magnificent room decorated will all types of luxuries, a boy was sitting on the sofa which was made of finest wood with inscriptions of gold carved on it.
Beside him, a line of boys standing along with a butler.
Taking a sip of the latte, he glared at the boy standing before him with a hungry look like he has killed someone close to him.
"Do you think you are a big shot just because you were able to defeat a second year?" The boy spoke with an irritated voice.
"Remember this, you are nothing but dust in my eyes. A bug that I can crush at any time I want."
The boy who was standing before him was none other than Lucas.
Lucas raised his head to look at the boy, if not for they were inside the Academy, all the people present in this room would have already become headless corpses before they can even know.
Clenching his fist and gritting his teeth hard, Lucas tried to contain his anger. His blood had been boiling seeing the grin on the face of one of the dogs of this boy, who had stood beside this nove de rich mocking Lucas.
The dog he referred to was Brock and the boy was Brandon who is the son of Viscount Zach and Brock had become his lackey recently.
The reason why Brandon seemed to be pissed on him was because of his lover. He is in love with Linda who was a Baron's daughter.
Now if one asks about what this got to do with him. This was because Brock twisted the truth and had spouted lies in Lucas's name.
The day before yesterday as he from existed the canteen, Linda passed before him. Lucas doesn't care about Linda nor look at her even for a moment. It would be a lie to say if Lucas know someone like her in the academy.
Brock was near them saw this and manipulated the truth and told Brandon, that Lucas was looking at Linda with lustful eyes and trying to hit on her and pleaded with Brandon to cut this weed before it can grow.
If any normal person had a brain in his head, he wouldn't have fallen for this cheap trick. But this headless bastard believed in it.
Man, even someone whose brains are in the knee wouldn't fall for such cheap tricks.
And now he was here with this bastard who is finding trouble with him.
Lucas cursed his luck inwardly for his misfortune 'I just got out from the princess and found another trouble with this bastard. Just what crime did I commit in my previous life that troubles keep coming looking for me?'
Even the protagonist doesn't fall into this much trouble as he does unless one talk about wuxia novels where the egoistical Mc goes here and there looking for trouble.
This arrogant and egoistic bastard Brandon, will not give a damn no matter how many times he tried to make him understand that he had no thoughts about his lover.
Thinking about all possible solutions, Lucas concluded that it is better to butter him up and tried to contain his anger now if he wanted to get over the situation
He may be safe here in the academy but who knows if this bastard goes over his family. If something happened to his parents because of this small misunderstanding, he would never be able to forgive himself.
He could use his status as princess butler to get over the situation but who in his right mind would believe it, moreover the matter was being kept in secret for now and he can't disclose it. So now, he can only rely on me to get out of this.
Taking a deep breath giving an idiot smile, Lucas spoke"Sir I sincerely apologized about this. Though I can't deny I was quite fascinated by her but if I knew, she would be going to be yours, I would stay a hundred steps away from her, moreover, I can already see her becoming Mrs Zach soon."
Hearing Lucas calling Linda Mrs Zach a strange glow flashed in his eyes as he laughed dreaming about Linda. The anger that he was holding disappeared just by a few words of flattery.
Seeing his flattery working Lucas sneered.
These assholes are weak to praise and flattery 'I should speak a few pleasing words in his ears.'
"Only a strong, handsome and prideful young man like you deserved to be with a fairy-like her. A lowly commoner like me would never dare to dream of someone like such status. So I beg you please pardon me this time and I will never dare to appear in your eyes." Lucas tried to suck up as much as possible.
Before coming here Lucas already had a bad premonition so he had researched about Brandon quite a bit before coming here.
"Sir, I have also heard rumours that Roman is trying to woe Miss Linda but was unable to melt Miss Linda's heart. Some also say that Mrs Linda is already in love with your highness." Lucas said in a serious tone.
Putting down the cup, he suddenly stood up and asked Lucas"What are you saying, is it true? You know the cost of lying to me would be unimaginable"
"No.....No.How can I lie to his highness whose bravery and wisdom had been spread throughout the Academy? What I have heard are the rumours but as you know there can be no smoke without fire. So I request sir to quickly take action as who knows that Roman may play dirty to woe Miss Zach?" Lucas spoke with a pleading look.
His acting looked so real that he may even get nominated for Oscars.
"That lowly son of Bitch Roman. Asshole, how dare you court my girl. I will cut your body into pieces and feed your body as food to the animal. Just you wait, I will show you my wrath. The wrath of house Zach."Brandon shouted in anger.
Seeing him in anger, his lackey tried to calm him down.
Lucas nodded his head in satisfaction seeing his plan working and spoke" Sir, you dont need to worry about someone like that. He is unworthy to compete with you. After all, he is just a bug in front of your eyes. You just need to show your love sincerely to Mrs Zach and melt her heart. She will surely fall on live with a valiant warrior like you."
Rubbing his chin, Brandon pondered for a few moments and spoke"You are quite right. I can crush him easily still I can't forgive someone who dares lay his eyes on my girl."
Brandon's ego has been further swollen by Lucas's praises after all how can be it easy to take down a noble house without any consequences. Being blinded by something like ago, he is treating everything around him like a bug.
Lucas finally was able to divert Bradon's attention away from him. He was not feeling any guilt for making Roman scapegoat cause he knew Roman had been trying to court Linds for real. His interference will only make this lover hunt more chaotic after all both these idiots were bound to go over each other throats in the future for Linda.
Even after he has been here for many months still now, he was unable to comprehend the behaviour of these nobles.
'I don't know where do they derive thier pride and ego. Just because they are born rich and with strong backing, they think the entire world is there's. What kind of shit is buried in thier head. At least you should have the strength to back up your ego but look at this bastard, who is just at an early stage of 2-Star. I can make him cower in fear in a second. Even that dogshit Brock is stronger than this asshole.'Lucas thought as he was burning with anger. He wasn't able to get over the cringe feeling that he was getting from spouting those bullshit flattery.
"Hmmm. You have quite a glib tongue. Still, I liked your thinking. I will forgive you this time but if I see you next time around her, I promise that I will break your legs." Brandon spoke looking at Lucas and asked for him to leave.
'Hushhhhh' Lucas took a deep breath and calmed himself. He was tensed from the moment, he entered the room. Although he tried to get away from the trouble by talking still he was alerted for the whole moment after all he had already decided that he will not back down and take it lying, if a fight broke out and he will crush this bastard if they cross the limit.
Hopefully, everything settled for peacefully now and he was able to walk out of here without any bloodshed.
"I shall take my leave, your highness. Please have a nice day."Lucas spoke giving a small bow.
" Yeah.Yeah...Just get the hell out of here."Bradon waved his head to signal Lucas to get out.
Brock who was standing there the whole time was quite stunned at the sudden development. Not only Lucas was able to get out of the situation without any repercussion, but he also diverted Bradon's attention to Roman.
Seeing Lucas back leaving without any harm, he bites his lips in anger.
Lucas who was going out, suddenly turned and looked at Brock and gave a small smile as if he was greeting his friend and walked out.
Seeing the smile Brock back drenched in sweat cause the smile looked like a devil smiling at his victim before taking its life.. Though the smile looked gentle those cold, ruthless eyes weren't able to contain the intense anger that wanted to burn down everything.
