"And you, Klaus. Don't you feel ashamed standing here with your meager strength?" Alkradra scolded.
"Yes…" Klaus immediately lowered his head in shame. He truly couldn't compare to these elites. Seeing this, Alkradra became even more smug and didn't intend to let Mimosa Vermillion, who was standing nearby, off the hook either.
"And Mimosa Vermillion, I heard you were injured early on in the Magic Palace and left the front lines, right? And you call yourself a member of royalty? It's laughable!" Alkradra reprimanded.
"I'm very sorry…" Mimosa Vermillion immediately bowed her head. She looked very aggrieved, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
"No, Mimosa Vermillion she—!" Klaus had just tried to defend her when Alkradra made a frustrated grinding sound with his teeth, causing Klaus to hold his tongue once again.
By this point, Asta and the others had been berated quite badly, but no one had yet targeted Noelle. It wasn't that they had forgotten her; it was just that Noelle's own relatives had not yet spoken.
"No, no, no. The trash that is most out of place in this setting should be her, right, Noelle?" Solid Silva said, swirling the water in his goblet as he walked toward Noelle. Noelle, with her back to Solid, had already stiffened her body. How would Solid humiliate her this time?
The others at the venue watched this scene with amusement. After all, it wasn't every day you got to see a royal Princess being bullied; it was a spectacle you wouldn't see otherwise.
"He's lifting his goblet!" Hamón Caseus squinted and laughed.
"Are you planning to pour that water on Noelle's head?" Asta grabbed Solid's raised right hand. In an instant, Solid felt as if his wrist had been clamped by iron pliers, rendering him completely unable to move!
"So what if I am? Get your dirty hands off me, you filthy rat!" Solid bristled instantly, as if Asta were a rat from a sewer; the mere touch made him feel disgusted!
"Asta, brother Solid!" Noelle turned her head to see Asta, face full of anger, firmly holding Solid's hand. Her heart was instantly stirred once again!
"I don't care if you're Noelle's brother or sister. From now on, for every time you bully Noelle, I will pay you back a hundredfold. Do you hear me?" After saying this, Asta, while gripping Solid's right hand, slowly poured the glass of water over Solid's head under his gaze of despair.
"What is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of this?! I, actually splashed with cold water by a lowly, dirty commoner?" Solid retreated three steps in a row, his narrow eyes wide with disbelief, his chest heaving violently as if he had suffered a great humiliation!
"You're this angry over just this much? Have you ever thought about how Noelle, a young girl, feels after being bullied by you in front of everyone?" Asta glared coldly at everyone at the banquet.
"That's enough, you vile commoner. You don't even have the right to speak here!" Alkradra finished speaking and instantly cast a binding Earth Magic. This type of magic would encase a person, causing them to lose oxygen little by little until they experienced the suffocating sensation of despair; it could be said to be a very effective binding spell!
However, before the Earth Magic could even coalesce around Asta, it was shattered by Asta using Chakra!
"This guy?!" Alkradra's eyes widened instantly. He hadn't managed to subdue his opponent in one hit? This was absolutely a disgrace!
"You guys, I originally thought you were some sort of amazing elites, but it turns out you're just a bunch of conceited jerks with sour faces. 'Commoner,' 'trash,' 'rat'—without these people to set you apart, could you even call yourselves nobles? Listen up, you bastards: I will accumulate the highest achievements, become the Magic Emperor, and make all of you shut up!"
