Novel Full Chapter 463 Do Enlighten Me
Vladimir looked at Ethan, who was also looking at him with a bored expression on his face.
Similar to Constantine, he would have already attacked the annoying Honorary Knight if he were not in the King’s presence.
The Nobles, who were watching this exchange from the side, all smiled in their hearts.
Dramas like this were one of the things they enjoyed seeing during gatherings.
Ethan, who had the situation under his control, decided to give Vladimir one last push to see how he would react. If he backed down, then good. But if he didn’t… Well, that was fine with him as well.
“Look, if you’re not going to prove that you’re worth my time, then just back off, and shut up,” Ethan said in the most arrogant tone that he could muster. “I guess this is only what Asta Family amounts to—a Knight Family who is only brave when facing off against ladies.
“What a prime example of how to be a Noble. I’ll forever remember you as the weakling who only knows how to bark. Now, if you’re done, kindly go back to the dog house where you came from. I have no time for small fries.”
After saying those words, Ethan sat down on his chair. He gestured to one of the waiters who were watching the commotion from a distance.
Ethan picked up two glasses of champagne and handed one to Nicole. He no longer paid attention to Vladimir, whose eyes had turned bloodshot after hearing his words.
“Cheers to you in advance, for winning the Heir Wars,” Ethan raised his glass. “After seeing your competitors, I am a hundred percent certain that you already have it in the bag.”
Nicole, who didn’t know if she should giggle or cry after hearing Ethan’s taunts, clinked her glass with Ethan before taking a small sip from it.
She had to remain sober because the night was still young.
Ethan also only took a small sip of the champagne before placing it on top of the table.
Right now, the gazes of the Nobles were shifting between the freshly appointed Honorary Knight and Vladimir, who was still standing in place with his hands clenched into fists.
The Prodigy of the Asta Family knew that if he backed down, he would no longer be able to raise his head again after being humiliated by Ethan.
He would also become the favorite gossip of their circle for the next few weeks, the idea of which weighed heavily in his mind.
However, if he accepted Ethan’s challenge, then he would have to fight against Constantine, who was also a very dangerous opponent.
Vladimir was not confident that he would be able to beat Constantine in a duel, which was the main reason why he was hesitating.
Forget about fighting Ethan.
If he lost to Constantine, then the humiliation and ridicule he would face would be doubled!
Constantine kept his silence, but he was far from calm. He was only waiting for Vladimir to challenge him so that he could beat the crap out of him.
The handsome boy with short blonde hair and gray eyes was more than ready to make Vladimir and Ethan kiss the floor with his Gravity Magic.
Such a move was like hitting two birds with one stone, and if he succeeded, his fame would spread within the circle of the Noble Families.
While everyone was waiting with bated breath on what decision Vladimir would make, a clap reverberated in the surroundings.
Ethan arched an eyebrow as he gazed at the Head of the Asta Family, Oscar, who was walking toward their direction.
“I apologize for my family member’s rudeness, Sir Ethan Gremory,” Oscar said. “The young are hot-headed, and there are times when emotions get the better of them. I do hope that you forgive him for his lack of manners. But worry not. I will make sure to sufficiently compensate you for his transgressions and discipline him at a later time.”
Sebastian, who was inside Ethan’s Sea of Consciousness, laughed because he suddenly had an idea.
‘Ethan, switch with me for a bit,’ Sebastian stated. ‘I’ll give that old fox a lesson he will not forget.’
Ethan couldn’t help but smile after hearing Sebastian’s words.
The Guardian of Zentris often played a supporting role inside his head, and this was the first time Sebastian asked to temporarily switch with him, which ignited his curiosity about what the Guardian was planning to do.
‘Okay.’ Ethan agreed. ‘I’m curious to know what you are cooking.’
Oscar glanced at the young man who remained silent after hearing his words. As someone who held a very high position among the Noble Families of Eastshire, not many people would dare to offend him.
In fact, even the Ducal Families would avoid antagonizing Oscar if possible because he was known to be one of the most brilliant military strategists in the realm.
Those who dared to offend the head of the Asta family would suffer in the end, so the Nobles believed that Ethan would take a step back and let this incident slide.
“Well, look who’s here,” Ethan said with a devilish smile on his face. “The Old Dog has come to save his little puppy. Old man, you’re the head of the Asta Family, and you can’t even educate them properly? What are you feeding them? Weeds that grow in your front lawn?”
“Pfft!” Princess Eva quickly covered his lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.However, since the event hall had turned silent after the exchange, her small laugh didn’t escape the Nobles’ ears.
There were many families who didn’t like the Asta Family, so seeing the Patriarch get slapped in public was a very refreshing experience.
Soon, the adults who hated Oscar’s guts all smiled and looked forward to what was going to happen next.
“Sir Ethan, don’t you think that you’re a bit too harsh?” Oscar commented. “It is very rude to address your elders in such a manner. Have your parents not taught you anything?
Oscar, who was a military genius, was also eloquent when it came to sparring with words. Since Ethan had decided to play with him, then he would play his game and make sure that the other party understood who he was facing.
Unfortunately for Oscar, he wasn’t dealing with a seventeen-
year-old boy.
He was dealing with Sebastian.
The Guardian of Zentris who had lived for hundreds of years and had seen the multiple faces of humanity.
“My grandma raised me with love and care, and she taught me a very valuable life lesson,” Ethan replied. “She said that there are two types of old people in the world. Those who have become wise with age, and those who regressed and turned senile after they’ve grown older.
“She also said that it is very easy to set apart the smart ones from the idiots. For example, the smart ones will never use their age, background, or title to win an argument. Only idiots do that.”
Sebastian then smirked as he looked at the old man in front of him.
“Do you know what smart old people do in situations like this?” Sebastian asked.
“No,” Oscar replied. “Do enlighten me.”
Sebastian nodded before a devilish smile appeared on his face.
“Then that’s your assignment,” Sebastian replied. “Don’t worry. I believe in you Old Fart—err Old Man. You’ll find the answer if you try hard enough.”
“Pfft!”
This time, Queen Evane wasn’t able to hold back and laughed out loud.
Her laughter was like a spark that ignited the room, making everyone laugh alongside her.
King Austen and Lord Edmond, on the other hand, couldn’t help but grimace.
A single glance was enough to tell them that the Old Fart of the Asta Family, had now labeled Ethan as an eyesore.
