A Shameless Bastard

"Shameless bastard!" A disgusted whisper echoed from a certain corner of the Banquet Hall far from where Earl Blaise stood, explaining his family's circumstances to the King.

Though this whisper came from a distance, the men with aura within their bodies had heard it right away.

However, none of them turned toward the source of the sound for two reasons.

The first reason was that they were acknowledging those words aimed at Earl Blaise, implying that he truly was a shameless nuisance.

At the same time, they did not turn toward the one who had just cursed in the presence of the King to prevent this person from being embarrassed and punished if this caught the attention of higher nobles.

However, what many failed to realize was that even King Ophire himself, who was said to possess the highest amount of aura within his body among all the nobles present here, had also heard that disgruntled voice.
