The surroundings became as quiet as if the water was poured on them.

Was it because everyone heard his soft words...?

'No... Cassius' voice was too low for that.'

I glanced up at him.

'It is probably because he is here.'

Cassius was still glaring at the Baron, who was teasing Ophelia without being able to grasp the situation.

'...He is good at acting.'

I had a strange thought.

He does not like Ophelia, nor was he a person who was burned with a sense of justice for the Baron who now harasses the weak. So, there was only one reason why Cassius even did this kind of acting.

...To make me happy.

He wants me to like him.

Then...

'There is no one better than Cassius to show that man the bitter taste of life.'

I laughed softly.

"I would appreciate it if you did that."

It was the only answer that he had hoped for. In an instant, he strode towards Baron Sabe swiftly.

'Go, Cassius!'

Behind him, I clenched his fists and cheered for Cassius. This time, it felt like I had raised a dog that listened well.

As soon as Cassius appeared, Baron Sabe's surprised expression caught my eye. The fact that his hands, which had been crawling towards Ophelia's waist just a moment ago, were politely gathered together.

He seemed not to be an idiot, though he seemed to have noticed that Ophelia was the only reason that Cassius approached him, who was only a baron.

"Baron."

Cassius muttered in a warning tone.

"I want you to stay away from my fiancée's sister."

The Baron took a breath and immediately took a few steps back from Ophelia. He looked like he wanted to get off the ground right now.

The corners of my lips rose spontaneously.

If I had felt even the slightest bit of sympathy for the Baron, I would have stopped Cassius and stepped forward. However, Baron Sabe was notorious for tormenting the commoners in his territory.

There was no need to show mercy to such a person.

I gazed at the two with interest, wanting to get some popcorn.

"I wonder what the hell you were talking about to Miss Ophelia. It looked like a lot of fun."

"Th-that, that..."

The Baron trembled.

Only a few meaningless words came out of his mouth.

The Baron looked so bewildered and perplexed that he could not even properly say a common excuse.

"Baron Sabe."

Cassius' cold voice struck the ballroom.

"I think it would be better not to say things that you cannot take responsibility for in the first place, isn't it?"

"Ye, yes...!"

The Baron shook his head constantly.

"And, you'd better not think of setting foot in this mansion again. Whether it's voluntary or not."
