Chapter 70: Father Humiliates Claire

Complex feelings arose in Emery and everyone else in the main hall. Before, Marquis Roger really didn’t care for Miss Claire enough. To be honest, he never cared before. Miss Claire’s words right now seemed to be talking about that point.

“You, you — !” Marquis Roger felt somewhat dizzy. The person in front of him with sharp words was really his daughter? She actually reprimanded him in front of this many people.

“If the venerable Marquis doesn’t have any business with me, I’ll be taking my leave.” Claire sneered, pulled Summer over, and then turned to Ben and said, “Let’s go.”

Ben shifted over in a suspicious manner. “Want me to get rid of him?”

“No, Mother would be sad.” Claire said indifferently.

Marquis Roger heard everything the two said. He was about to explode with anger.

“Stop, where are you going?” Marquis Roger angrily shouted.

“What does it have to do with you? Respectable Marquis, I think you are busy with many things. Also, if you want to risk blocking me, I don’t think anybody here could stop my friends here!” Claire coldly said and then brought Summer and Ben away.

“Jean! Stay behind. What is going on?” Marquis Roger called Jean furiously.

Jean lowered his head slightly. “Sir, I am Miss’s guardian knight so I cannot stay behind. Wait for the Duke to come back and you shall understand what is going on.” Jean said, neither servile nor overbearing, and then followed Claire from behind and also left.

The people in the main hall who were still there looked at each other in dismay. Emery was also silent. Although Marquis Roger was accosted so rudely, for some reason, a trace of pride actually appeared. Actually, everybody knew Marquis Roger’s capabilities. He wasn’t a genius but not an idiot either. It could only be said that he was average. Also, his biggest weak point was that he was too rude and didn’t know the correct way to respond to certain situations. That’s why the Duke would send him to work at the border. Emery sighed lightly. How would the Duke deal with this matter?

“Opposite, everything is actually the complete opposite of what’s supposed to happen!” Marquis Roger was so mad he was about to explode. He could just let it go that Claire offended him, but a small knight actually dared to go against him.

Claire’s group of people left the Duke’s castle. Summer tilted her head and said, “Claire, what do we do now? It seems like I made you leave home.”

“There’s a good place where we can go to.” Claire raised a brow, laughing.

“What place?” Summer said with wide eyes.

“Let’s go.” Claire’s eyes slitted as she brought the three behind her to a street.

Claire led the group of people through the streets and then stopped in front of a big, white house.

“Wow, this place is very pretty.” Summer looked at the white fence with green vines sprawled all over it with wide eyes, throwing the unpleasant situation from just then into the back of her mind.

“As long as you like it, that’s good.” Claire raised a brow and smiled with some ill intent.

Soon after they rang the doorbell, footsteps sounded from within.

The next moment, Camille, who was smiling like the spring wind, appeared before their eyes.

“Hello Teacher, I brought friends pay you a visit.” Claire said. Before Camille could speak, she pulled Summer in first.

Camille smiled gently as he followed from behind and said quietly, “Claire, how did you have the time to come today? And you brought so many friends, shouldn’t you give me an introduction?”

“This is Summer, this is Ben, and this is my knight Jean who doesn’t need to be introduced.” Claire pulled Summer to sit onto a sofa. She smiled while looking at Camille and said to everyone, “Everybody sit, no need to be polite. This is my elegant, graceful, multi-talented, well-known teacher from the capital, Camille, a scholar.”

Camille’s heart floated, still smiling like the spring wind. He said gently, “Everybody, no need to be polite. Sit, I’ll go make tea.”

Claire stood up and followed Camille from behind. “Teacher, I’ll go and help you.”

The two went to pour tea. Summer looked at the room filled with decorations and her eyes formed into heart shapes. The feeling it gave people was very comfortable.
