Everyone gasped in shock. It took some of them a few moments to realize what had just happened. Margaret covered her mouth in shock. She had expected Laina to give the duke a piece of her mind, but she had not expected her to slap him!
Even the general and chancellor were shocked by Laina's action. The duke was not a weakling either. Anger burned in his eyes, he tried to retaliate. He raised his hand towards Laina but she caught it swiftly.
Titan was growling and barking at the duke. Margaret quickly restrained him to stop him from tearing the duke to shreds. The mastiff already had his claws out, ready to fight.
"What do you think you're doing, Duke Harris?" Laina asked in a cold monotonous tone.
"You attempted to humiliate me at the Ball and now you're trying to slap me in the Throne Room, in my country? Are you seeking death?" Laina threatened.
