It only took a few seconds for the confident noble to turn into a broken machine who could only let out empty threats as he backed away from Mary and Layla.
"D-Don't you dare come near me! You don't know whom you are talking to here! If you come here, t-then I will-"
The noble tried to speak, and he even looked toward his slave to get some help. But Mary had already cared for Raizel before she turned toward the noble.
She could not use her demonic powers to hold the kid hostage, but physical force still worked fine.
Raziel must have already realized what was better for him because he turned away from the Duke when he tried to catch his eye.
And that was the end for the Duke. There was nothing else the Duke could do before Mary grabbed him by the shoulder and brought him to Layla.
"L-Let me go! This is illegal, and I will have your head for it. Do you know who I am-?"
Mary slapped the noble on the back of his head to quieten him.
