Chapter 661 Banished from Vanelle
At this point, he was already imagining what kind of compensation the Duchess of Duskmoor might offer
him afterward.
Maybe she would help his father secure a promotion at court.
Or perhaps she would even arrange an official position for him personally.
The more he thought about it, the more triumphant he felt.
Then Elowen finally spoke.
“You three aren’t quite the same.” Her tone was calm and unhurried, almost gentle. “Leighton and Maddox are one thing, but you…” Her eyes settled squarely on Corbin. “As of today, you and your father can both get out of Vanelle.”
Corbin still wore that foolish grin when he instinctively answered, “Thank you, Your Grace…”
The words left his mouth before his brain caught up.
Get out of Vanelle.
She had just told him and his father to leave Vanelle.
The smile vanished from his face instantly.
He stared at Elowen in complete disbelief. “Your Grace… there must be some mistake. I’m the one who got hit!”
Elowen looked down at him coolly. “A moment ago, you said you were only trying to greet an old acquaintance.” Her voice remained perfectly even. “So tell me, which acquaintance exactly were you so eager to see?”
Corbin froze.
His face stiffened immediately.

Only then did he suddenly remember hearing rumors some time ago that Stargazer Pavilion had been investigated because of the Duchess of Duskmoor.
And Scarlet had been taken away by her.
A terrible chill crawled down his spine.
Something was very, very wrong.
“Were you talking about Scarlet?” Elowen asked lightly.
Sweat immediately began forming across Corbin’s forehead
“It… it was…” His voice grew weaker with every word unul it was barely audible

Elowen watched him calmly before continuing, “Then let me ask something else. What sort of acquaintance are you to Scarlet?”
Corbin’s lips trembled violently
Sweat rolled down the sides of his face while his mind went completely blank. No matter how hard he tried, he could not force out a single word.

listen carefully,” she said. “You and your father are leaving Vanelle, and neither of you should ever back.” A faint smile slowly curved her lips. “Because if either of you dares step foot in this city again, t guarantee you’ll leave with all your limbs attached.”

The fact that he happened to run into her today could only be called justice finally catching up to him.
And honestly, Barrett deserved part of the blame too.
A man who could raise his son into this kind of worthless disgrace had no business serving in government.
Once she finished dealing with Corbin, Elowen shifted her attention toward the other two young nobles standing behind him.
The pair had already been terrified while watching Corbin’s punishment unfold. The instant Elowen looked toward them, both men’s knees buckled so quickly they nearly slammed face–first onto the floor.
“Your Grace, please spare us!”
“This had nothing to do with us! Corbin was the one harassing Scarlet! We didn’t do anything, we swear!”
Elowen smiled faintly. “Why are the two of you panicking? It’s not as though I’m sending you to the execution block.”
That only made them shake harder.
