Chapter 385

【"Damn it..."】

【Byron gritted his teeth. He was afraid—afraid that the centuries of accumulation of his family would be trampled upon.】

【Why had he been so proud before? Because looking at history alone, the Izelma family was clearly more ancient than the original El-Melloi main family, the "Archibalds," yet because their magecraft had stagnated for so long, they could only be reduced to an affiliate family.】

【However, in his own generation, the efforts of their family finally saw a glimmer of hope. The family's glory, the Golden Princess and the Bai Yin, were finally approaching that ideal.】

【But they were still just a little bit short.】

【Even so, this was a golden opportunity for the Izelma family to turn things around.】

【This was also why he dared to provoke a Lord so brazenly, even if it was a fallen Lord.】

【But that brat who had appeared from nowhere and luckily become a Lord had made him lose all face in public.】

【He had struggled bitterly until now, using every means he could think of, even bowing his head to that yellow-haired girl who had appeared from the Far East and usurped the Crown, trying to finish the remaining few steps.】

【Clearly, even Lord Valuareta had nothing but praise for this debut banquet, and even that yellow-haired girl could not ignore him now, but...】

Kayneth: "Heh, so that's how it is."

Byron Valuareta Izelma, just you wait. He would teach this fellow a good lesson about how El-Melloi's current status came to be.

Sola: "Really, how should I put it? Such inexplicable self-confidence."

Shishigou Kairi: "Exactly. I was wondering where this guy got his confidence from; turns out it's all hollow."

Tohsaka Rin: "Saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. Disgusting."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Hmph, truly senseless."

One could tell from the other party's words that this guy looked down on Eastern magi immensely; even Aozaki Touko, a Crown-rank, was a usurper in his eyes.

I really don't know where he gets his arrogance. Aside from that long history, what else does the Izelma family have that's worth showing off?

Darnic: "I am actually quite curious about what goal Izelma wants to achieve that could give him this kind of inexplicable confidence."

The Grand Duke: "Hmph, 'confidence' is an understatement; he's simply boundless in his madness."

【"Lord Byron."】

【At this moment, a voice awakened Byron, who was harboring anger and resentment.】

【It was the maid Regina, who had entered the workshop with Maio and Islo.】

【"Oh, you've come."】

【Byron immediately put on a hypocritical mask and said slowly, "As long as the Bai Yin Princess is here, losing the Golden Princess is not an absolute failure."】

【Although the incident caused a huge shock, it was still salvageable.】

【The Golden Princess and Bai Yin Princess created with Izelma blood also held the significance of being backups for each other; even if one side were lost, it did not mean decline.】

【Byron: "However, what about your dress?"】

【Islo: "My dress is perfect."】

【Byron: "Then what about your medicine?"】

【"I—it hurts!!!"】

【For some reason, Maio panicked and bit his tongue.】
