"The crown princess is missing!"
The Grand Duke could feel an immense number of aurae escaping his body as he heard the bad news. The knights who were scattered around him quickly covered their heads as the shock from the Grand Duke's released aura damaged the whole room, including their armour.
Keita, who felt guilty to the abducting incident quickly stepped forward. He fell onto his knees as he confessed how he failed in protecting the crown princess.
"I deeply apologize for not fulfilling my duty, your excellency. I deserve a severe punishment of death for not being able to protect the crown princess."
The Grand Duke, who was still in a state of anger attacked the young knight. Keita didn't stand up nor fought back as the Grand Duke's magic filled with blinded rage continued to attack him.
"Father! Stop! Just imagine what Henrietta will feel if something bad happens to her knight!" Hendrix shook his father's arm as he forcefully stopped him.
