With everyone's attention on him, Vritra knew he had to make this moment count. The confident expression on his face was enough to make both Cedric and Lord Kris visibly uneasy.
"Alright, nobles of Gladius. I don't intend to drag this out, so let's keep it brief."
He pulled out a [Memory Crystal], and the moment Cedric saw it, he panicked.
He knew exactly what Vritra was about to do.
『THIS BASTARD──?!』
Without thinking, Cedric rushed forward, waving his hands in a desperate attempt to stop him, his face full of panic.
"We don't need to go through this again! It's clear my wife despises me and would do anything to ruin me, right?"
Sweat had already begun to form on his forehead, and his nerves started to show.
Standing nearby, Lord Kris was fuming.
『What in the three worlds is Lord Cedric doing?!』
