A couple of minutes before
"Finally..." The knights said with stars in their eyes while looking at the mansion.
"We're here....!"
"Ah!! I want to take a bath quickly!!"
The knights shouted happily as two of the knights fist pumped in the air. Happy tears were streaming down their face.
"Alcohol!!! Meat!!! Alcohol!!!"
"Hurry, i want to see the others soon!!"
Duke Phileo simply stared at the knights who were waving their hands around crazily. Duke Phileo then thought of monkeys who were acting crazy while trying to get a banana.
"Why didn't you ask your subordinates to do it for you?" Someone asked which caught Duke Phileo's attention and he turned to glance at the familiar voice.
"I didn't know you would buy it yourself." Mono Keres said as he looked directly at the cute packaging in Duke Phileo's right hand.
"....Something delicious when you come back..."
"...She asked me to buy it," Duke Phileo said as he looked at the packaging in his hand.
"So i should buy it myself." Duke Phileo said.

Flashback
A cute bakery was seen and a happy old man who is known as the owner was talking to a mother and her child.
Soon the door to the bakery was slammed opened as a foot stomped in the bakery shop.
This caught the attention of the owner and the mother as they looked towards the door.
Duke Phileo was seen towering the owner as he shook in fear.
Duke Phileo stared down at the owner as his eyes were red.
"Hand it to me." Duke Phileo said with a demand tone.
"Y-Y-Yes." The owner stuttered as he shook in fear and imaginary tears were streaming down his face.

Flashback over
'.....The owner won't be able to sleep tonight.'
"...The young lady's will be glad." Mono Keres said with a closed eye smile.
"It'll be a relief if they don't complain." Duke Phileo said.
"Perhaps they are waiting in front of the entrance." Mono Keres said with a smile still on his face.
"It should be Leonia's nap time at this hour and i know Annelise would also take a nap." Duke Phileo said.
"The young lady's must've been waiting for you." Mono Keres said again.
Duke Phileo simply stared at the mansion in front of him as sunlight shined on him.
"Mister/Duke why did you arrive so late?" Annelise and Leonia said with a big smile on their face as they walked towards Duke Phile."
Duke Phileo smiled with warmth on his face as he thought of the scenario in his head.
Duke Phileo and the knights were about to walk towards the mansion though once Duke Phileo took a step. His eyes widen as purple and yellow flashed.
Duke Phileo and the knights eyes were widen staring at the scene before them.
Purple and Yellow sharp crystals/ice were forming outside of the mansion though mostly purple crystals were forming.
"𝕬 𝕭𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖙'𝖘 𝖋𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖘....? 𝕬𝖓𝖉 𝖎𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖆 𝖘𝖓𝖆𝖐𝖊'𝖘 𝖋𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖘...?"
The knights stared at the scene before with wide eyes and cold sweat running down their cheeks.
"Everyone, get out of here." Duke Phileo said as he began to run towards the mansion his eyes became narrowed and his eyebrows were furrowed.
"Master! We should go together...!" Mono Keres shouted.
"You're getting in my way." Duke Phileo said as he ran towards the mansion while more sharp ice began to form.
Duke Phileo's face was scrunched up as his eyes were narrowed and his eyebrows were furrowed while sweat ran down his cheek.

A young beast, who has yet to be trained, often can't control their temper and hence reveal the tip of their fangs briefly.
Though an adult women who can control their temper and fangs...especially a snake's fangs now lose control of their temper as well as their fangs....
If such a child and women invoked the fangs enough to cover the mansion, there's only one reason to conclude.

~I Became the Male Lead's Adopted daughter/I Became the Male Lead's Wife!~
~Chapter 24~
☆☆☆
The protective barrier that was around everyone grew weak due to Annelise body becoming weak. The little few maids who didn't pass out began to shake in pain once more though not that much pain as before.
"Master..." Sir Gabel called out as he looked at Duke Phileo.
Annelise back was faced towards Duke Phileo.
"...What a mess." Duke Phileo said as his face was still scrunched up.
"They said they would be on a rampage, and they are." Duke Phileo said as he began to walk towards Annelise who was holding Leonia as the sharp ice started to disappear.
"Annelise." Duke Phileo called out.
Annelise turned her head and Duke Phileo saw blood dripping down her mouth and lots of blood in her left hand.
"Duke...." Annelise mumbled as she began to fall as her eyes closed.
Duke Phileo's eyes widen and immediately ran to Annelise. He managed to catch Annelise before she hit the floor and also before the sharp ice were to hurt both herself and Leonia.
Duke Phileo carried Annelise bridal style as she held Leonia in her right arm while her left hand had lots of blood and the blood was dripping down on the floor.
Leonia was securely held in Annelise right arm as her eyes were closed as well though sweat was still running down her face.
Same goes for Annelise sweat was running down Annelise face.
Duke Phileo noticed the blood dripping from Annelise left hand and from her mouth.
"I guess..." Duke Phileo mumbled as his eyes became red.
"You bit more than you could chew." Duke Phileo said as his fangs appeared and fire spread everywhere as they made the ice disappear.
"HAH!" Sir Gabel let out a breath.
"Ack!" Hannah and Connie let out.
"Gabel, tell me what happened here." Duke Phileo demanded.
"...Please forgive me for failing to protect the lady's." Sir Gabel said as sweat ran down his cheeks.
"I don't think it's right to me to assume the lady's reasons, But from what i saw, Countess Tedross had offended them both especially Lady Annelise." Sir Gabel answered.
Duke Phileo's eyes were red as he glared down at Countess Tedross.
"It seems that she made malign remarks towards them." Sir Gabel said.
Countess Tedross was a mess as tears pooled in her eyes and streamed down her face.
It was silent and the time ticked on the clock.
Lots of blood was on Countess Tedross as she stared at the floor while Duke Phileo stared down at her.
Sir Gabel looked away before he glanced at Duke Phileo's back.
'It's unsettling that he didn't draw his sword....especially when Lady Annelise has blood....' Sir Gabel thoughts trailed off as he anxiously looked at blood dripping down Annelise's left hand.
Annelise and Leonia were both sweating.
Duke Phileo looked at Annelise and her face became pale as the blood in her mouth was now dripping on her arm.
Duke Phileo finally spoked up as he immediately needed his daughter and wife to get checked up. Especially his wife since blood coming from someone's mouth unexpectedly means no good sign.
"...It's quite amusing that" Duke Phileo started as he handed the bakery package to Sir Gabel.
"This happened while i was away fighting." Duke Phileo said as he passed by Countess Tedross and he walked up the stairs.
Duke Phileo simply stared ahead.
And once again she felt pain surge through her body just like a sword stabbing someone's heart.
Countess Tedross fell on the floor as Duke Phileo glanced at Countess Tedross.
