Chapter 383 Departures and Little Schemes

Leslie’s POV

Eren’s words made everyone laugh; the heavy atmosphere in the banquet hall lightened a bit.

Asphodel hummed in my head: This little wolf is really amusing!

But the laughter died the next second as everyone seemed to realize – Kirby of Crimson Moon Pack?

He’d dragged Kirby into this too?

Wasn’t that a public slap in the face?

I glanced at Kirby. He stood in a dim corner, his gaze dark and deep, like a wolf suppressing his

rage.

His minty scent was chilling to the bone, the coldness almost condensing the air.

I inwardly smirked. Kirby, you actually get shut down by a child sometimes?

Leiss’s men, sensing things were going badly, hurried the guests along.

I stepped to Kelly’s side and held out my hand to Eren. “Come here.”

He happily leapt into my arms, tilting up his little face, eyes sparkling. “Muse, wasn’t I right?”

I ruffled his fuzzy curls and praised him with a smile. “Yes, Eren, great job.”

That little guy–sweet–talking like he’d been spread with honey, and he’d helped Kelly out. I almost wanted to give him an extra dessert as a reward.

Kelly came over and asked gently, “So this child knows you?”

I smiled. “Yes, he’s a friend’s kid. Kids speak without filters–Kelly, please don’t take offense.”

She shook her head and smiled softly. “Of course not.”

Asphodel commented in my head: This woman’s ruthless–nice! I like it!

I nodded in agreement. Kelly’s decisiveness was different from what I’d expected; it actually suited my taste.

Kelly had stomped all over Leiss and Crimson Moon Pack’s face; people were leaving, and Leiss -pathetic as ever–still wanted to follow after them.

His brothers gripped him tight. “Enough. This farce has embarrassed us to the grave. What more disgraceful thing do you want to do?”

Leiss struggled like a paranoid man, determined to rush out.

I watched coldly and thought: pathetic.

Lance hummed in my head: Serves him right–he dragged you down with him!

What pissed me off more was that I shouldn’t have come to this damn banquet in the first place.

I’m the most innocent person here; all the fault lies with Leiss, yet I get blamed?

With Leslie here I couldn’t make a scene.

I took a deep breath, let the mint scent quell my anger, stepped to Leslie’s side, gripped her

The little wolf stomped after us on his short legs, afraid of being left behind. His blue eyes darted around, sly like a little fox.

Lance suggested: That brat’s definitely scheming–just toss him out!

I ground my teeth and scoffed at the stupid idea. “If you toss him out, Leslie will tear me to pieces first!”

There was nothing I could do with a minor like that.

Luckily the driver was quick. He scooped the pup into the passenger seat, raised the partition, cutting off his troublemaking, and left a private space for Leslie and me.

Lance chuckled. “Not bad–should give the kid a raise later.”
