The second he heard the word “septic tank,” Leonard’s expression darkened instantly. His jaw tightened, and the veins at his temples throbbed.

It was not just about falling into a pit of filth. He had caused a full–blown explosion himself. And then Marcus had stood there, pointing at him, calling him an idiot. The humiliation cut deeper than anything. It felt worse than death.

“Grandpa, just drop it.” He clenched his teeth as he sat down. His gaze was hollow, laced with quiet despair.

Leonel frowned. “How can I drop it? I went through all that trouble to get you into Emma’s castle, and you’re already back. Was everything I did for nothing?”

“So the only way to save our family is by seducing a female?” Leonard shot his head up. His eyes were bloodshot, burning with anger and shame. “Grandpa, this is low. I am not doing this anymore.”

How am I supposed to explain this? That I am the future heir of the Maulion, a level ten ability elite, and I went there to work as a gardener? Then I blew up a pile of manure because I did not even know how to fertilize properly, and I got thrown out like trash. There is no way I am saying that out loud!

He drew in a sharp breath, forcing the breakdown back down where it belonged. He then spoke in a cold, steady voice. “Grandpa, find someone else for this job. I am done.”

Leonel froze. “What? Done?”

His expression hardened as he glared at Leonard. “You are not a child anymore. You think you can just walk away because you feel like it?”

He had already struck deals with those people. As long as Calum and Lucien were driven apart and turned against each other, they would back him, take Calum out, and secure his future as the Empire’s First Marshal.

“I said I am done!” Leonard shot to his feet. His voice shook despite himself. “Grandpa, if you want to split them up or win Emma over, figure out another way.”

He did not give Leonel a chance to respond. He turned and headed straight for his bedroom. His back was rigid, but his steps unsteady.

“And do not ever send me back to that hellhole. I would rather go to the front lines, fight the Chitinids, and die on the battlefield than set foot in that castle again!” he said.

Back in the castle.

“So…” Marcus sprawled across the couch, barely alive as he spoke. “You think Leonard is coming back? After what I did to him, after that kind of total wipeout, if he still shows up again, I might actually respect him for it.”

Because this is not just physical damage, it is a full–on mental nuke. If it were me, I would probably spend the rest of my life avoiding this planet altogether.

Calum let out a dismissive scoff when he heard that. “Yeah, I don’t see that happening.”

He lifted his gaze, tone calm but edged. “The kid might be a little slow, but that Maulion pride is still in his bones.”

A fiver of mockery crossed his eyes, sharp and unmistakable. It was aimed straight at Leonel “Compared to Marshal Rysid, that power tangry old b’stard who’d sell his dignity for a throne, Leonard is still tolerable.”

At the mention of Leonel, Calum actually laughed. “His precious Leonard barely lasted a day before crawling back looking like that.

d’s next move is. Don’t tell me he’s planning to send over another pretty male

Emma cut in instantly. “No. Absolutely not.”

She didn’t hesitate for a second. The answer came out flat and final.

Her eyes swept across the males in the room, sharp with warning. “I’m telling you right now, Leonard was a one–time thing. There will not be a second.”

She had zero interest in dealing with that kind of mess again.

She folded her arms, and her voice turned colder, firmer than ever. “If anyone dares to sneak someone like that in behind my back, I don’t care who it is. Whoever brought him in can get out with him.”

That shut everyone up immediately.

Kieran handed her a glass of water. “Emma, take a sip. Calm down. We promise, no more random people coming in.”

Lucien was just about to speak when a faint movement against his chest made his expression shift.

Thump. Thump.

The impact was clear, pulsing with a strong surge of life.

“Emma!” Lucien looked at her, excitement breaking through. “The egg’s hatching.”
