1st person Pov:
"But since your father is no longer in the position to take even a punch, your mother would have to take it all. I will ask my uncle to punish her well. in front of everyone. Naked." When I heard that from Yven's mouth I didn't know why I remembered something from the past. Something that I remembered for a very long time but managed to bury in my heart somewhere. But now that I remembered it, I did not know why but the rage was starting to fill up in me. It was the same. No matter what the world was, it was always the same. Yven is no different from those guys. He needs to be nipped out of the bud before he starts doing the same sins people like him do.
I have to uphold justice. I have to listen to my heart without worrying about the consequences or it will return. The regret will return for not doing anything once again. And thinking up to this point, my feet started moving in Yven's direction. I have to kill him. Only then justice will be served.

3rd person Pov:
Sierra saw Michael moving in Yven's direction. She thought he was going to stop him. This was not good. If he does something stupid now, many people will have to suffer the consequences of his move. She could not allow that. She grabbed his hand and stopped him and said, "Stop! What are you doing? Don't you understand what will happen if you interfere right now? Stop now. Those are just some words, she will get over them but if you help her now, she will be the one to suffer the most after this." She tried to reason with him. He seemed to be fairly intelligent. He must know about the consequences of his actions. Yet he was still doing it. She had to stop him before this issue escalated any further.
"Let go", but the next moment she heard him say that. She could not believe him. Was he really going to do it? She tried to reason with him once more but before she could say anything, he turned his head towards her, and that was when she felt it. A child like her had not felt anything like this before. She did not know what fear was. But now she did. And on instinct, she let him go.
Sylvia had given up; she could only endure up to the point when it was limited to her. But when her parents were mentioned, she broke. She gave up. That was the only thing she could do. Apologize. Kneel and beg. She knew no one will help her. She had to do something on her own. She decided to beg. That was her fate. So, she decided to do it. Her knees started to buckle. She was about to drop to her knees. Seeing this Yven's sinister smile spread on his face. An expression a child should not have. But before all this could happen, they all heard something that made everyone in the room freeze on the spot. Freeze from fear.

3rd person Pov:
"What Is he doing?" Steven saw Michael heading toward Yven. "Maybe he doesn't know what will happen if he does anything wrong right now?" Alice said in response to Steven.
"Maybe. But everyone here is strictly ordered by their parents not to mess with any of the higher-status nobility and the nobility of the same status. Did the Revsteins not tell him that? And also, I heard that things are not good between The Revsteins and the Heraiz family. If he does anything right now it will only escalate." Steven said thinking to himself. "But there is no way that is true. Right? I mean I have heard that the Revsteins are battle-hungry, but Madam Carla is a wise person. She must have definitely warned him in this case. So, I can only conclude that he is acting on his own. That's a bad move. Should we stop him, brother?" Alice also gave her insight and then asked her brother.
Steven considered stopping him. After all, this issue won't just end with them. The whole kingdom might get embroiled in their war if one starts between the Revsteins and the Heraiz. Many innocents will get hurt during that war. He should do that however he cannot stop him. He also does not like what Yven is doing. As long as he is stopped, he will take the blame afterward and act as a witness on Michael's side. Besides he was sure that it won't come to a fight. Only verbal disagreement so he does not have to worry about anything. "Let's not."
He only said after considering it for a bit. Alice also understood her brother's intention, so she nodded in response. It was at that moment that they heard Michael say something to Yven that made them freeze on the spot. For the first time in their life, they felt fear.

3rd person Pov:
Yven was very close to making her kneel. There was a reason he was doing this. He wanted to control Sylvia. Sylvia's mother also known as the war goddess was a battle veteran and her rank was S. A rank high enough to be treated like a duke in the Carenheim kingdom. But for some unknown reason, Mera Headstone had turned down every invitation from nobles and the royal knights and had decided to serve in the army. Not just under anyone at that. She was a direct subordinate of Derek Revstein.
He wanted to control her daughter, so he could use her to bring Mera Headstone to their side. He was actually bluffing when he said that his uncle in the military could punish Mera. His rank might be higher than Mera, but in the military, it is an unspoken rule not to mess with Derek's subordinates. The kingdom had already suffered the consequences of doing that when a marquis tried to pull his rank on Mera and tried to make her his concubine. The marquis' house was wiped overnight. There was no way his uncle could mess with him like that. So, he decided to use Sylvia to bring Mera on their side.
And he had almost succeeded in doing that. that was until he felt a hand on his shoulder. That made him annoyed. Who had the guts to stop him? Even if it was someone from the duke's house, he was not scared. If it was the same rank, he will just prove his seniority by beating them up. So, with this intention, he turned around. When he did, his eyes met with a pair of black eyes. A pair of frightening black eyes. It was like those eyes were peering inside of him. He felt fear. He had felt fear before. From his grandfather, he had felt great fear. But that fear was nothing compared to this one. That fear was only of not being acknowledged. But this fear was different. This was the first time he was feeling this kind of fear. The fear of death. And then he heard something, that terrified him deep inside of his soul. "How about you stop now? Cousin."
