Chapter 463 Do Enlighten Me
Vladimir looked at Ethan, who was also looking at him with a bored expression on his face.
Similar to Constantine, he would have already attacked the annoying Honorary Knight if he were not in the King’s presence.
The Nobles, who were watching this exchange from the side, all smiled in their hearts.
Dramas like this were one of the things they enjoyed seeing during gatherings.
Ethan, who had the situation under his control, decided to give Vladimir one last push to see how he would react. If he backed down, then good. But if he didn’t... Well, that was fine with him as well.
“Look, if you’re not going to prove that you’re worth my time, then just back off, and shut up,” Ethan said in the most arrogant tone that he could muster. “I guess this is only what Asta Family amounts to—a Knight Family who is only brave when facing off against ladies.
“What a prime example of how to be a Noble. I’ll forever remember you as the weakling who only knows how to bark. Now, if you’re done, kindly go back to the dog house where you came from. I have no time for small fries.”
After saying those words, Ethan sat down on his chair. He gestured to one of the waiters who were watching the commotion from a distance.
Ethan picked up two glasses of champagne and handed one to Nicole. He no longer paid attention to Vladimir, whose eyes had turned bloodshot after hearing his words.
“Cheers to you in advance, for winning the Heir Wars,” Ethan raised his glass. “After seeing your competitors, I am a hundred percent certain that you already have it in the bag.”
Nicole, who didn’t know if she should giggle or cry after hearing Ethan’s taunts, clinked her glass with Ethan before taking a small sip from it.
She had to remain sober because the night was still young.
Ethan also only took a small sip of the champagne before placing it on top of the table.
Right now, the gazes of the Nobles were shifting between the freshly appointed Honorary Knight and Vladimir, who was still standing in place with his hands clenched into fists.
The Prodigy of the Asta Family knew that if he backed down, he would no longer be able to raise his head again after being humiliated by Ethan.
He would also become the favorite gossip of their circle for the next few weeks, the idea of which weighed heavily in his mind.
However, if he accepted Ethan’s challenge, then he would have to fight against Constantine, who was also a very dangerous opponent.
Vladimir was not confident that he would be able to beat Constantine in a duel, which was the main reason why he was hesitating.
Forget about fighting Ethan.
Soon, the adults who hated Oscar’s guts all smiled and looked forward to what was going to happen next.
“Sir Ethan, don’t you think that you’re a bit too harsh?” Oscar commented. “It is very rude to address your elders in such a manner. Have your parents not taught you anything?
Oscar, who was a military genius, was also eloquent when it came to sparring with words. Since Ethan had decided to play with him, then he would play his game and make sure that the other party understood who he was facing.
Unfortunately for Oscar, he wasn’t dealing with a seventeen-
year-old boy.
He was dealing with Sebastian.
The Guardian of Zentris who had lived for hundreds of years and had seen the multiple faces of humanity.
“My grandma raised me with love and care, and she taught me a very valuable life lesson,” Ethan replied. “She said that there are two types of old people in the world. Those who have become wise with age, and those who regressed and turned senile after they’ve grown older.
“She also said that it is very easy to set apart the smart ones from the idiots. For example, the smart ones will never use their age, background, or title to win an argument. Only idiots do that.”
Sebastian then smirked as he looked at the old man in front of him.
“Do you know what smart old people do in situations like this?” Sebastian asked.
“No,” Oscar replied. “Do enlighten me.”
Sebastian nodded before a devilish smile appeared on his face.
“Then that’s your assignment,” Sebastian replied. “Don’t worry. I believe in you Old Fart—err Old Man. You’ll find the answer if you try hard enough.”
“Pfft!”
This time, Queen Evane wasn’t able to hold back and laughed out loud.
Her laughter was like a spark that ignited the room, making everyone laugh alongside her.
King Austen and Lord Edmond, on the other hand, couldn’t help but grimace.
A single glance was enough to tell them that the Old Fart of the Asta Family, had now labeled Ethan as an eyesore.
