Rein burst into incredulous laughter on the spot when he saw such a shameless challenge letter.
"God damn the insult to the Norman family!"
"It's your Norman family's repeated assassination attempts on me that have led to the current situation!"
However, Rein soon realized that this was a strategy on the opponent's part.
"Start with a verbal attack, garnering people's sympathy, with the main idea being that I, a newly-minted baron, have insulted the Norman family. Otherwise, why would I challenge you to a duel?"
As for evidence?
Of course, there's none. That's how the nobility operates...
However, seeing the worried expression on the beautiful woman's face beside him, Rein gently smiled, stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her tender and graceful body, and comforted her:
"Jennifer, don't worry. Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as you imagine."
