Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 355. Midford residence bag. 6
In Rexa and Earl's room, there was another tension at the moment and all that was because of Rexa's statement.
“She's not my girl of choice and this wedding is just a game of yours, adults”
That sentence made the Earl say in his heart.
‘I won't let this happen!’
Then, the Earl said to Rexa, “Rexa-sama, this is more than a matchmaking. This will determine the fate of the relationship of the two families as business associates and nobles. All this will also affect the image of your father later”
Rexa coldly asked back, “What care?”
“What is–”
“What do I care about all that? You adults are doing this for your own image, right?”
“If you want to talk about the influence of my father, Marquis van Houdsen, it's too late. You don't forget who Xenon is, do you?”
“He is my younger brother from my father's second wife and news of his origin has been widely known since the incident. Don't pretend you don't remember it”
“That's why, Xenon himself got into trouble during my time in my family and because of that, Misha who is your favorite daughter called her dirty blood”
“If you want to talk about my family's relationship with Midford, to be honest I'm not interested in all that”
“Your daughter has hurt my heart, hurt my sister's heart and has unconsciously embarrassed you”
“Do you think I would let such a woman further destroy my family's reputation with her arrogance?”
“My answer, if I marry such an arrogant girl, do you think van Houdsen's image and reputation will end well?”
“It...”
Earl Midford could not say anything. It made Rexa smile.
“You yourself know the answer and try to force me, Earl?”
“Rexa-sama, I'm sure there is a misunderstanding here. Maybe..maybe Misha can–”
“I'm sorry, Earl. I've had enough with him. Even though I would be expelled from my residence or give up my title, I would rather that than marry your daughter”
“From today, Misha and I are no longer engaged. And along with this, I'll make sure your daughter will regret it if she tries to hurt Xenon again”
“I will not hesitate to send him home with special authority as Magic Council and I make sure.he will regret”.
Rexa stood up and left the Earl. Just as Rexa was about to get out, Earl Midford held him back.
“Rexa-sama! We can still talk about this back! I...I will take Misha home and advise her not to behave like that!”
“Earl..”.
“......?”
“I will not retract my words. Excuse”
When Rexa came out, Earl looked so upset.
“No...this can't! I will not allow this!”

Meanwhile, in another room…
“I should call you guys what? Undercover guard?”
“....” Diaz-Gemini clearly looks unhappy now
Mark blatantly said that to Diaz-Gemini.
“I want to know what use those two friends are keeping an eye on us? Suspicious that I'd lost control?”
“It looks like you are full of preparation and realize who I am?”
Diaz-Gemini smiled, “Mark-sama may have misunderstood. I don't feel any”
“Really? There was no way a master level half elf would not feel it. Did you use magic to suppress your entire aura to look like a weak magic user?”
“If you want to lie to me, still too soon 10 years. Better not to skit again”
“Ordinary Earl work associates will not peek or steal hear everything that happens here”
“In addition, they will also not care who is Earl's guest and what is the business of the guest's arrival”
“From what I've seen, you're predicting that we could potentially be enemies”

Mark has given Diaz-Gemini a lot of pointers. It seemed that his interlocutor was also starting to feel uneasy.
‘I have to hold back a little more. Otherwise, all of his provocative words would have made me disassemble myself. He really cannot be underestimated’
‘Just I need to hold back for now. Let them try fishing us’
‘The more they try to lure us all, then I can be more sure that the plan that I have been able to implement quickly’
As Mark was about to go back to lure her, Rexa entered the room.
“Lucas, Mark, we're done here. Come back”
All three stand. Seeing the look in Rexa's eyes, Diaz-Gemini feels that it seems the Earl has no way of stopping Rexa's request.
‘Haa~ini will be my homework later. Let it be for now. Our target will not change’ Diaz-Gemini said in his heart
Lucas walks towards Rexa first, “All done?”
“Already. I don't want us to linger here”
“Good. Mark, we're back at the Magic” School Academy
As Mark walked past Diaz-Gemini, Mark was like saying something in a slow tone.
“I hope I don't see you again anytime soon. Because I know that you are not a good person”
“......”
“Remember my words. When I see you again, that's when you'll be done”
“......”
When the three teenagers came out, Diaz-Gemini smiled cynically.
“Keep feeling that you guys are on top now. Because after this, you and this country will sink”

In the other room, Barbarossa and Evergreen looked pale.
“Mark Vermillion..he is more dangerous than I thought” Barbarossa muttered.
“I know that. Our big mistake was underestimating him. As long as he has Artifact, he will be the toughest opponent” Evergreen said
“I wonder if Earl managed to convince Rexa van Houdsen to stay engaged to Lady or not”
Evergreen casually said her reply, “My guess, she failed to do so. Rexa may stick to that intention. Nobles can only break the engagement bond if the first party to do that agrees”
“While Rexa van Houdsen does that without any information first and does not care about his reputation. That means he will still cancel it even if it goes against the concept of nobility”
That explanation made Barbarossa laugh.
“Ahahaha, they are really silly. That is why this country is very primitive despite being rich in power”
“And because of that thought, they could ignore both races that should not be ignored. Killing them to gain recognition and in the name of justice”
“We will destroy them”
“That's right, Barbarossa. Let them take us for granted. With that ancient magic, we will make this entire eastern region as a sea of blood”

In the hallway of the Midford residence corridor, Mark whispered to Lucas.
“Have found something?”
“As you said, there are indeed two people near where we are. Emily is not wrong either, but their faces are not known”, Lucas replied
“It seems they are indeed after us. I'm sure Diaz-Gemini was holding himself back when I verbally attacked earlier”
“I wanted to stop you because you ruined everything, Mark. But the result of your words is enough to make me happy and I will close my eyes to it”
“Serah” Mark answered as was and asked Rexa, “Hready done?”
“Ya”
“Official split?”
“I consider it yes, but I'm sure Earl will try to persuade my father to keep me in this engagement plan”
“Then, how are your next steps if it happens?” ask Lucas
“I will expel Misha from the academy with the authority I have as the Executor Division Captain. I'll send my letter to Master Dresden later. I want your permission, Lucas”
Lucas smiled, “I'll give my permission. Do it if it can save your pride and Xenon”
“Thank you”
All three of them came out of the Earl's residence.
