-Duce Augustus, the fact that you came to the palace garden every day does not mean we know each other so intimately. In the future, I hope the Duke does not forget the royal conduct.

Augustus had a red face. He wanted to show the noble that he could easily talk to the princess if he wanted to.
But he did not expect, to be so cold.
She usually shows little respect even if it was due to his father.
Now he was embarrassed in front of everyone.
Nervous Augustus moves his gaze to Xavier, convinced it was his fault.
Although his clothes were of good quality, they were not so excellent for a noble with high status.

So he tried to save himself.

-Princess, if this man got angry, tell me.
Augustus looks toward Xavier and continues.
-I will be doing everything for you.

But who does he think he is? A princess of such high power, need a duke, just by name?
Xavier just looked at Augustus, while thinking about how stupid this man might be and how stupid it will be if he stays alive.

When Ingrid wanted to say something, Xavier's eyes changed color into purple. The atmosphere has changed. You could feel pressure in the air.

-What are you willing to do? Xavier's eyes gazed through Augustus' soul.

He could see exactly, what he felt. All contempt for simple people. Love for Ingrid. If Augustus got to hell, Pride would choose him to hold his wine cup.
-What are you willing to do? Xavier's eyes gazed through Augustus' soul.

He could see exactly, what he felt. All contempt for simple people. Love for Ingrid. If he got to hell, Pride would choose him to hold his wine cup.
Hold Pride's wine cup is a great honor. Of course, Xavier was one of the few souls to be able to pour wine into the glass and talk to him as an old friend.

You would think hell is dangerous. However, after thousands of years, it becomes more like a club of criminals on retirement.

[I wonder what Pride does? He's a good guy ]

Augustus was scared. The man who looked like a simple man. No art of fighting. He was now like his father. No! Xavier's pressure was much higher than his father.

-I... I

-YOU?

The militias that secretly followed Ingrid were alert. They felt Xavier's aura. It was as though he had gone through many battles and killed whole armies.
Ingrid was the most surprised, in the report, was written that Xavier has a strange aura, still didn't expect to that.
He wanted to know how Xavier could possess such an aura.
Only after seeing death and killing can you have such an intimidating aura.
Neither she, doesn't possess such an aura, how can a man who hasn't joined in the battlefield, possess such an aura?

Xavier was annoyed by the so-called duke. He doesn't care that he will divulge his power. He did not care, at the banquet, why would he care now.
Not revealing your power, is not good, he did not have to show it all power.
If the world thinks it's too weak, it could become a problem.
Xavier didn't want to be assaulted by some babies who play as royalty.
It is a prince.
It must be treated with respect, what's the point of being a prince if everyone treats you, as a weak buffoon.
It can cause problems in the future, but it can also receive many rewards.

-If you can not talk to me, then do not try to threaten me, boy.

Xavier lost all trace of good mood.

All the nobles who were witnesses couldn't move.
They were trained in the superior battle arts, did not kill anybody.
Xavier's aura was a murderer. They knew he was a normal man, but they did not want to move. The fear was amplified.

Xavier gets tired of them. He turned to Ingrid with a warm smile.

-My lady, I hope my advice will help you.
As he spoke, Xavier leaned over to Ingrid's hands and kissed her right hand.
Her hands are soft, as his lips. It was for a few seconds but in the eyes of those who saw everything, seemed an eternity.

When she looked up, he looked into Ingrid's eyes. The crowd could not see how the princess of the ice was red in her cheeks. But Xavier could see.

All of you were surprised by Xavier's boldness. They were about to see how he got a death blow.
But it didn't happen. Ingrid quickly recovered her calm and continued the conversation in the same manner.

-Of course, Prince Xavier.
Ingrid's voice was normal. It did not seem like Xavier's gesture affected her, but Xavier knew. She was ashamed or nervous. He could not be sure.
The necklace blocked Xavier powers.

[I think I forced my luck.]

Once Xavier left Ingrid, she remained for a few seconds to look at him.

When she came back saw the group of noble and understood why he did that.

-If one of you is saying something of what happened here, you'll be sorry.
Of course, rumors are hard to kill.

The nobles were visibly frightened by the princess. All the guilt was Augustus's. Why did they have to come with him here?

When Ingrid returned with his back to leave she shouted at the guards:

- When did my garden become a social gathering place?
