Brat !

『You insolent brat!』

『What kind of nonsense are you spouting all of a sudden?』

『Have you completely lost your mind!?』

The three Grand Dukes, including Kargaron, exploded in rage, all directing their anger toward Justin. But the Duke of Deception, Abraxas, remained silent. Instead, with a bitter expression, he muttered under his breath, as if he had already resigned himself.

『How did you know?』

"I never once mentioned in front of you that I envied warriors' physical stats. But for some reason, you were all scared that I'd side with Kargaron," Justin said with a shrug, pointing at Kargaron with his thumb.

"Funny thing is, that guy's the one I've been most annoyed with. Yet he seemed oddly relaxed, so I threw out some bait, and, well, looks like I caught a big one."

『Hmph. I suppose I was too desperate. How ironic, for the Duke of Deception to fall for a human's trickery,』 Abraxas sighed.

『Abraxas, what are you talking about!?』
