Irma von Faceum

The whole street was silent.

None dared to say a single word.

The hands of knights that were pointing their weapons at child and woman trembled.

The silence wasn´t caused by fear for the life of a child that had now a sword pointed at its neck by knights.

For most nobles, commoners weren´t even the same species. Even if a noble killed a child in broad daylight, none would bat an eye.

But now it was different.

It was because of the very moment that child chanted [Dispel], the spell that changed the appearance of the boy disappeared and revealed his true appearance.

Purple hair.

Symbol of fear and respect among all commoners and nobles.

Gentle violet eyes that were still full of innocence.

Everyone immediately realized the identity of the boy in front of them, after all, most of them came to this city because of a rumor: "Only son of Duke Sirius is in the city Botis"

Everyone came in the hope to meet the heir of the Astrape family and make a favorable impression on him or even push their daughter to the position of his future wife/concubine.

But now in front of them are knights of the Feceum family pointing their swords at him.

At an heir of the strongest family in the kingdom?

Nobles that were watching this situation had all two questions in their mind.

'Did that bitch go crazy?!'

'Is she trying to get all of us killed?!!'

None moved. It was because they knew that it was better to sacrifice Irma instead of risking their lives.

"Heh" Orion smiled at put his finger at the shaking sword that was close to his neck.

The knight understood the gesture and pale-faced dropped his sword on the ground, the other two did the same right after.

With small steps, he slowly started walking toward the woman that looked like a clown with all white powder on her face and red lipstick on her lips.

Irma started unconsciously backing away as Orion got closer.

"S-Stayy away!!!" she screamed in fear

Even though he looked like a little cute child to others. Irma saw an image of a gigantic snake getting closer to its prey.

And the prey was her!

Orion sent some of his divine pressure on her to make her scared.

He ignored her cry and slowly walked. Each step sounded like a countdown to her death.

She never thought to this day that she will be scared of a child that was simply walking toward her.

When Orion finally stood in front of her Irma fell on her butt and looked at him with a pall face and small tears forming in her eyes.

He put his soft hand on her right cheek and with a smile said in a childish cute voice.

"Big sis shouldn't do bad things like this. You need to be nicer to people.." he started scolding her like a cute child

Few noblewomen turned red like tomatoes when they saw his innocent smile.

"Papa told me those bad people won´t get any gifts!! If big sis want gifts you need to be good like sis Uri"

Multiple nobles sighed when they saw a heartwarming scene of a child scolding an adult woman.

They were glad he wasn't mad and they could keep their lives until his next sentence.

"You..know...papa told me that if I see any bad people I should tell him and he will....how was it..." He looked like he was strongly trying to remember when Uriel spoke

"Duke said he would execute them young master," Uriel said and bowed like a proper maid

"Thank you sis Uri...yes papa said he will EXECUTE THEM..." He said like a child that was brightly smiling completely unaware meaning of his words

When nobles heard him. They all gulped. And their faces turned pale like a wall.

"Because papa told me that BAD people deserve punishment hehe" he said with innocent laughter

And Irma that was closest to Orion peed herself from fear.

"Young master it's already time," said Derret that was silent all the time

Orion´s bright expression dropped, He simply nodded and took Derren's hand.

" We need to go..bye bye big bad sis" He cutely waved with his hand and slowly left the street

Nobles however didn´t move and were just standing there processing what happened and few of them trembled in fear of the duke´s wrath.

While Irma was just sitting on the ground in her own pee with tears flowing from her face trembling from all different emotions ⁏fear, anger, shame, and desire for revenge...

After walking for a while, Orion and others decided to go to the mansion of the city lord by carriage since the city was too big and people kept staring at Orion.

"Young master, why did you act like that in front of that crowd?" Derret that kept staring at him the whole ride couldn't help himself and finally asked

"Haha, you see, sometimes innocence can be scarier than a blade aiming at a person´s throat.." he said with a sublime smile

"And it was also fun.."

Derret wanted to ask others things like why did he reveal his identity when he wanted to stay hidden from the start and many other things that didn´t make sense to him but he rather stayed silent.

"We are here boss," the old coachman said as the carriage stopped in front of a grand white mansion

Derret gave a pouch of silver coins to the coachman as Orion got out of the carriage with Uriel´s help since he was so short now.

In front of the gate were standing 2 knights that immediately bowed when they noticed Orion and others.

One of the knights took the black glass in the shape of an oval with silver case and informed through it others about Orion´s arrival.

They opened a large iron gate and let Orion and his group in.

In front of the entrance of the mansion stood knights that escorted Orion to this city lined up pointing their weapons at the sky.

There were also many maids and among them was Sylvie with small tears in her eyes.

"It's my greatest pleasure to meet heir of Astrape family and welcome him into my humble home, My name is Theodore von Botis, lord of this city," a Chubby and short old man with only hair on the sides of his head greeted Orion with one of his hand behind the back and one on the heart.

"I'm thankful that you will allow us to stay here for a while lord Theodore, My name is Orion von Astrape and this is my personal maid Uriel and guardian knight Derret" Orion also greeted the old man with a slight bow awkwardly like childe that is not fully accustomed with noble etiquette.

For unknown reasons, Sylvie started really crying after she heard the part where he introduced Uriel.

The old man just pleasantly smiled and let them inside the mansion.

"You must be tired from travel...your maid already personally prepared a room for you, so you can go rest. We can talk tomorrow, If you miss something you can tell my servants and they will fulfill your every request. Then if you excuse me there are a few things I need to do." the old man said in a rushed tone clearly not expecting Orion´s arrival today

"Thank you for your hospitality lord Theodor"

"No, no, this is nothing compared to the kindness that your family showed to me. I will go then, I wish you a pleasant night." as the old man said he left the main hall with two maids following him.

"Sylvie, can you show me my room?"

Orion asked Sylvie but she was just staring at him with a red face.

Snap

"Earth is calling Sylvie are you here?"

"Kyaa, Yesss young master right away!!" Sylvie woke up from her tought only after Orion pinched her stomach.

Only then did Orion notice her red face after he smelled a familiar scent in the air

'Oh fuck you too!'
