*Bam* Before the person notices, he slams on the ground with his hand behind his back. The profligate person never expected the maid before him to react quickly and slam him on the ground.
Such a reaction shows that Brigida is not an ordinary maid but is an experienced combatant. This sudden movement attracts everyone and creates some commotion among the surrounding people.
"Hughes!!" called someone from a distance.
A woman with similar white attire to the previous person approaches Angus and the others.
Seeing Hughes in pain on the ground, "Release him!!" ordered the woman sternly.
However, Brigida is not moving and even grips Hughes tighter. He could feel his arm breaking slowly.
"Ahhh... W-Wait... It will break! It will break!!" said Hughes frantically.
"You!!" said the woman coldly before taking out a magical staff.
Seeing this, Angus and the others look at the woman with frowns. Although people may not recognize their identity, most people should know that releasing spells or skills inside the Capital City is forbidden.
Unless it is an emergency, they could be charged with a high crime based on the situation and the damage it causes to the city. This law has been established by King Leon for a long time.
Since Angus and the others do not recognize the other person, they know the woman is not part of the kingdom or even a high noble. Yet, she dares to openly release spells.
'It is either she has a strong backup or just a reckless clueless person.' thought Angus inwardly.
"What's going on here?!!"
Before the spell is released, a loud voice is called from a distance. Soon, everyone notices a group of people protected by some guards approaching their group.
Everyone could see the Heart Royal emblem on their armor. At this moment, the nearby people are forced to step away from Angus' group.
"Dietrich, is this what you said about welcoming us?! Look at this lowly maid done to Hughes!!" grumbled the woman arrogantly.
Hearing this, Dietrich stares at Hughes under Brigida's grip before looking at Angus, who is not far from them. Seeing Angus mockingly smile, Dietrich feels like eating shit.
'Damn!! Why does it have to be him?!!' cursed Prince Dietrich inwardly.
Because of his previous ploy, King Leon confiscated many of his belongings and rights. He even threatened Dietrich and the other princes that their right to enter the throne may be revoked if they dare provoke Angus without a clear reason.
Since then, the prince has tacitly understood that he should not provoke Angus and his family. In fact, the princes hope the others will provoke Angus and lose their throne right.
Now, Dietrich feels like getting the short straw and accidentally provokes Angus.
Noticing Dietrich's silent reply, "Dietrich..." called the woman again.
"Rona, that's enough." called a young man with similar attire as Hughes and the woman.
"B-But..." replied the woman called Rona.
The old man immediately realizes this problem and apologizes to Angus.
"According to our law, offending a high noble is a heavy crime that may get death punishment." stated Angus.
"Angus... Don't be so bold. They are still my guests." said Dietrich shivering in fear.
As soon as Angus said this law, Dietrich knew Angus tried to punish Gedium and the others through their law. They are indeed invited and escorted by Dietrich.
However, from the heart kingdom law point of view, they are still outsiders and not even residents. Their status is not comparable to that of high nobility, such as the Royal Princess. If Angus used the law to punish them, even Dietrich couldn't do anything about it.
Moreover, he may be implicated and lose prestige as the next king candidate. His brothers may even use this opportunity to attack him. This is the worst situation he will face.
"Hoo.. So, Prince Dietrich is getting brave now?" asked Angus with a teasing smile.
"No... A-Angus, I mean... T-They are my guest..." said Dietrich with trembling.
"Hmm?? You are so lucky to have a good father and king. Brigida, break all its limbs." Angus said before walking away.
Noticing Angus' intention, the old man said in a hurry, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."
*CRACK* "W-Wait... Argh!!" screamed Hughes in pain.
At once, Brigida breaks Hughes's limbs mercilessly. On the other hand, Gedium and the others are still in shock and slump on the ground with pale faces.
As for the nearby guards, they already distance themselves from Dietrich and pretend to hold the passerby. Although it is a dereliction of their duty, it is better than miserably losing their lives.
Every guard in the Royal Palace knows Angus and his family are the only people they couldn't offend. Some even said it was better to offend His Majesty King Leon rather than Angus. Otherwise, they may not only lose their life but have a miserable death.
Combined with Angus' occasional harsh training, every guard couldn't help but fear and respect this Young Baron Victory.
Leaving Dietrich and the others, Angus' group finally catches up with Jayna and the little gluttony.
"Daddy!! Daddy!! Here! Here!!" called Anna excitedly.
"Anna, don't run around." rebuked Jayna while wiping Anna's cheek from the food leftover.
Seeing Anna's naughty behavior, the other two girls in the group couldn't help but want to spoil Anna.
"Anna, come here. Play with Big Sis." called Mia gently.
"Emm... Blue Big sis?" called Anna.
"Anna, here. Have candy." said Millie.
"Okay, Daddy's concu... Mmmphh..." said Anna before Angus' hand blocked her mouth.
"Alright, let's go to Fizzy Tavern." said Angus while trying to prevent the bloodbath between their group.
