Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 10. Opening (3)

Fortunately, I was secretly prepared to surprise Anness.

“Hehe!”

Knowing the inside story, Lycaen forcefully swallowed a smile that burst out without my knowledge.

“With this, I now pronounce you the bride and groom of Caith Gronst and Annes Dorbon! ”

Oh, my God!

At the same time as the Buddha's baptism, the sound of applause from guests attending the wedding rang out.

Caith and Anness greet the guests, crossing their arms and approaching the Marquis of Dorbon.

Lord Dovern smiles softly on his face.

“Agnes, don't you just love this guy? ”

I looked disappointed, but no matter how hard I changed my face, I still remembered a smile on my mouth.

I felt like I put down the heavy burden that was on my shoulders because my granddaughter who was raised by her son and son died alone got married to such a great young man. On the other hand, of course, I was disappointed. But I was happier than that.

“Thank you, Grandpa. ”

Anness smiles happily, but her eyes are wet. It's also because I feel sorry for thinking that Grandpa should be alone with gratitude.

Lord Dovern nods and gently strokes her granddaughter's head. Then he said in a stern voice to Caith next to him.

“If you let a single tear flow from my granddaughter's eyes, I won't let you! ”

He said that while tapping my chest with his other empty hand.

“Leave it to me. Lifetime support and support for your granddaughter's happiness! ”

“Haha, let's see. How long can I do that? ”

“I'm a man of my word. I will protect you for the rest of your life. ”

“Haha, got it. I'll believe you.”

When the three of them spoke, they answered and burst out a joyful smile. I had to say hello to the other guests, but the strange regrets kept me longer.

Lycaen, leaning against the balcony's spear from afar, mutters to himself.

“He's going to get his mouth ripped off. ”

Then, behind the closed door, someone answered with a small voice.

“If you smile like that all day long, you probably won't get facial muscles for a month, right? ”

Joel hid in a closed balcony saying he didn't want to mingle with people and attended the wedding.

“I'm telling you. ”

“Anyway, it's a real start. It's gonna be a lot harder having a family, but what are we gonna do if he says he's gonna do it? ”

Joel asks for Lycaen's sympathy. But there was no strange answer.

“Hey, what are you doing? ”

I'm curious. Joel asked me again. Lycaen folds his arms and lets out a long sigh, still not answering.

Joel suddenly wonders why Lycaen is doing this, but without rushing the answer, he waits quietly.

And after a while, Lycaen said in a heavy voice.

“Did I do something wrong? ”

“What?”

“Maybe I should just ignore it and live. ”

“What do you mean, not like you? ”

“Neither can Caith's son, but I could put my parents and sister at risk for this. If I had just ignored it, none of this would have happened and put my family in danger. ”

Joel smiled unconsciously and asked, looking at Lycaen in a different way than usual.

“Do you even like being sorry like you are? ”

“A little……. ”

“Son, you should have thought of that sooner. ”

“It is, but.... On the other hand, there's a reason we have to fight. ”

We should not back down from this to keep our promise to the dead Lycaen. At least not in the beliefs of Lycaen.

“Hehehe, a reflecting Lycaen.... Surprisingly fun.”

Joel pranks, but Lycaen no longer accepts.

Joel shakes his head excitedly, waiting for Lycaen's word for a moment.

“You don't have to be sorry. ”

“ ……. ”

“What are friends sorry for? If that's what Caith's son was worried about, he wouldn't have dipped his foot in it. You think I forced him to do something I didn't like about his personality? ”

And then static again. Meanwhile, Caith walks this way after finishing his conversation with Lord Dovern.

Lycaen smiles brightly and looks at his approaching face for a moment, suddenly saying with a happy smile.

“Well, you don't force them to do anything I say. ”

“I'm glad you know. ”

At the end of Joel's words, Caith arrives in front of Ricain.

“Thank you for coming. ”

“Fuck you, have a good life. ”

“Got it. Heheheh heh! ”

He seemed to be planning on laughing like that all day. Anness also greets Lycaen.

“Thank you for the escort from the capital. ”

“You've done all you can, Miss Annes. Oh, no. I'm sure I'll see you around, Earl Gronst. Oh, that's not it either, Mr. Jessup. ”

Lycaen makes a joke by changing the name of Anness with a mean look on his face. But even Anes didn't seem to have a smile on his face today, no matter what.

“You'd better keep your eyes open. If I look wrong, I won't be able to come and eat properly. ”

It was when Caith said that instead of Anness.

“Suck!”

Suddenly, Lycaen's expression changed. At the same time, an urgent shout erupted from the balcony behind Likayen's back.

“Hey! Move! ”

But before Joel could speak, Lycaen was flying.

Phew!

A sudden thunderclap of dust rising at the same time.

“Ahhhh!”

“Grr!”

Screams erupting from everywhere. And red blood clots scattered all over the place.

After a while, the dust that had risen in the sky sank and I noticed the scene at the wedding.

Half the guests were dead. The bloody red wall was not surprising. Some people had their limbs cut off or their bodies exploded.

Lycaen's gaze rushes towards the late Dovern. Luckily, Joel moves quickly, covering his body like he was protecting the duchess.

Joel came instead of Lycaen, who couldn't leave to stop the attack on Caith and Anness.

And after all the dust had gone down, I saw what Lycaen saw.

Byrons standing round circles around the dead and trembling with surprise.

Joel shouts for Lycaen.

“Damn, I'm so unlucky! ”

Whether they were preparing to attack the uncertainty from the start, the Byrons' movements surrounding the people were quite organized.

“Phew!”

Lycaen takes a slow, steady breath. Fortunately, Prince Caith, Anness and Dovern are safe.

Lycaen picks up a long candlestick from all around the explosion.

He shouted at the Byrons as they lay siege to him.

“You sons of bitches! You're all gonna die today! ”

The war between Lycaen and Circus has finally begun.
