If only Sir Kraven had known what Alex was capable of, he might have clenched his fist and forced himself to greet Chuck respectfully and treat him as one of the Duke's sons.
But everyone knew that the young man's mother, Dorothy, was a mere mistress of their Lord.
Yet despite the legal wife's opposition, Duke Marius had still given Chuck the surname, No Rizz.
However, while the Duke recognized the young man as his son, the rest of his household thought otherwise.
"You bastard!" Sir Kraven shouted. "Stop this nonsense!"
The Knight Captain unsheathed his sword, intending to silence Alex once and for all.
Princess Xenia's guards immediately blocked his path.
"Stand down, Sir Kraven," Sir Alphonse ordered. "You are in the presence of Her Highness, and you dare to brandish your weapon?! Sheathe it at once, unless you're intent on getting charged with treason!"
