This Bastard is Too Competent
Chapter 15 - Will You Give Him To Me?

“The Duke is entering!”

Creeaak.

The door to the audience room opened.

As the cold-faced Duke entered, everyone took a deep breath.

That’s when everyone was hastily bowing their heads. Only one person had their head raised.

‘Finally we met again, Duke.’

He looked like he was in his early 40’s.

Pale white skin with silver hair, straight features, and a cold face.

A neat robe so spotless as if not a single particle of dust was allowed to touch, and numerous servants who followed behind him. Even the air felt so heavy that it took anyone’s breath away just by looking at him.

The Duke had a suffocating presence just by being there.

So was Ian’s first time.

‘I couldn’t even utter a word.’

Ian just trembled in front of him. It wasn’t just because of the raids and the deaths of the mercenaries.

A sense of intimidation that could only be felt from the royal family or aristocrats. Vigor.

It was because of that Duke.

‘He isn’t called the most powerful person after the king for nothing.’

That’s why he fell flat.

But.

‘I’m not scared of him anymore.’

In the past, Ian tried everything to please him and look good before him.

But from the moment he knew that man was the betrayer that killed him, there was no reason to look good for his sake.

‘I’ll take advantage of you this time.’

As Ian’s eyes flashed with determination.

“Father! Listen to me!”

“!”

Heinley, the Duke’s second son, shouted at the Duke.

He seemed to think that someone on his side had finally come.

“That damn serf is insulting the Duke with a fake proof!”

The Duke raised his eyebrows.

“Fake proof?”

“Yeah!”

Heinley smiled and shot Ian a glare.

He seemed to believe that Ian would be in trouble now.
