Draven loosened his grip slightly before shoving Corbin backward with visible disgust.

Corbin staggered several steps and nearly crashed onto the street before finally managing to steady himself. The moment he regained his footing, he hurried closer toward Elowen, though he still did not dare approach too near with Draven standing there.

Elowen looked at him calmly.

“Go ahead,” she said evenly. “Tell me what happened.”

To Corbin, those words sounded like pure salvation.

He immediately wiped the stew and blood from his face before launching into a dramatic complaint.

“Your Grace, I’ve truly been wronged!” he cried miserably. “I was only passing by this street and happened to see an old acquaintance, so naturally I walked over to greet her and exchange a few words. Then out of nowhere, Commander Hall attacked me without even bothering to ask what happened first!”

He pointed toward Draven while exaggerating every ounce of misery on his bruised face.

“Look at me! My face is swollen, my ears are still ringing, and my head hasn’t stopped pounding since he hit me. Your Grace, you have to stand up for me!”

As he spoke, he deliberately tilted his injured face toward Elowen, clearly hoping the sight alone would win her sympathy.

Elowen did glance at it.

And she did frown slightly.

Seeing that reaction, Corbin immediately became even more energized.

“I may still be studying for the examinations and not yet hold an official title,” he continued tearfully, “but my father serves the crown honorably alongside Commander Hall. How could he possibly treat me this way? I’m nothing more than a scholar with no ability to defend myself. I still don’t even know what offense I committed that deserved such brutality!”

Now that he had started complaining, he clearly intended to commit fully to the performance.

“And him too!” Corbin suddenly pointed toward Leander. “That lord dumped an entire bowl of stew over my head for absolutely no reason! We don’t even know each other! I’ve never offended him in my life, so why humiliate me like this?”

Leander merely glanced at him meaningfully from where he stood nearby.

Corbin ignored the look completely and continued his theatrical misery.

“Commander Hall served under the Duke of Duskmoor for years and now commands enormous authority in the capital. Someone like me could never afford to offend him. But I’m still someone’s son too. Why should I be beaten like this for absolutely no reason? Your Grace has always been known for fairness and

kindness. Please, I beg you, give me justice!”

The other two men immediately rushed to support hirn.

“That’s right, Your Grace! Corbin only walked over to greet someone he knew, and now look what happened to him!”

“Commander Hall thinks he can attack people in broad daylight just because he commands the King’s Guard. Is there no law left in Vanelle anymore?”

Elowen listened patiently until everyone finished speaking.

Then she nodded lightly.

“A scholar being beaten without reason certainly would be unfair.

Draven frowned instantly.

“Your Grace,” he said at once, “this bastard is twisting the entire story around!”

As he spoke, he shot Leander a sharp look that very clearly meant, Are you seriously planning to stand there in silence?

Leander, however, merely stood there with his head slightly lowered, the faintest trace of amusement lingering at the corners of his mouth.

Draven’s irritation deepened immediately.

Meanwhile, Corbin lifted his chin defiantly.

“How am I twisting anything?” he argued loudly. “Commander Hall says that very easily for someone standing there perfectly unharmed while I’m the one covered in injuries!”

“You little…”

Draven’s temper nearly snapped again.

The glare he shot toward Corbin looked violent enough to bury him underground on the spot.

Corbin instantly felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively backed away several steps.

Before things could escalate again, Elowen spoke calmly.

“That’s enough.”

Draven immediately swallowed the rest of his anger despite how furious he still looked.

Corbin, however, felt triumphant.

With Elowen stepping in to stop Draven, his confidence returned almost immediately, and he even dared lift his chin smugly toward Draven in open provocation.

Draven’s eyes darkened dangerously.

Corbin let out a quiet snort before arrogantly looking away.

So the Duchess of Duskmook really believes me.

Women really are easy to fool with a few carefully chosen words.

Elowen finally spoke again. “What’s your name?”

Corbin brightened instantly. Now she’s asking about my background too? She really is planning to back me.
