Lucius kept a calm expression on his face as he saw Keith approaching the two maids that were cleaning the glass on the ground. He couldn\'t help but smile upon seeing the ease with which he was able to manipulate Keith.

"Enrage truly was the perfect choice for my second spell matrix…" Lucius muttered to himself.

But just as he had said this, he saw something he completely did not expect. Keith had tripped on the edge of the carpet and then fell down. But the place he fell had a long glass shard lying on the ground.

The moment Keith\'s neck met the ground it was pierced with the glass shard. 

\'Oh my… I just wanted to test out Enrage but did not think it would give me a bonus like this.\' Lucius thought to himself.

~spurt~

Red blood started spurting from Keith\'s neck as he struggled to lift himself. More glass shards pierced his hand when he placed them on the ground. The blood was gurgling in his throat making him unable to speak anything.

~gurgle~

He twitched in pain on the ground, unable to lift himself anymore. The rage he had felt just a second before faded away like smoke in the wind and utter fear replaced it. Fear for his life.

Keith couldn\'t even tell what had happened and how he had ended up like this.

"AHHHHHH!" Shrill screams could be heard as the woman in the hall witnessed the scene.

  The maids who were cleaning the glass were absolutely scarred and stumbled back upon seeing the bloodstained Keith in front of them. His white suit was now covered with blood, looking quite morose.

"SOMEBODY HELP! SOMEONE HELP HIM!" Bethany shouted, tears appearing in the corner of her eyes.

The guards that were at the sides of the hall quickly rushed forward upon hearing the screams of Bethany and the other people. They too saw the gruesome scene on the ground and were terrified.

The most terrified though was none other than the guards of Keith Drew. They were scared for their young lord and were now thinking that their lives were done. There was no way their old Lord would forgive them for this.

But they still rushed to help Keith as they knew if they let him die here, only death would be waiting for them back at home too.

"CALL THE HEALERS!" The guard of Keith shouted.

Andrew and Paul were surprised too but Paul managed to gain control of his wits quicker.

"Does anyone have a healing gift? Does anyone have a healing gift here?!" Paul asked everyone.

Andrew also snapped out of his shock after hearing Paul\'s words and looked at Bethany. She was the host of this party and should have made sufficient arrangements.

"Call your resident healer! Bethany!" Andrew urged.

Lucius on the other hand stayed at the back while enjoying the entire thing. 

"Seems like we won\'t need to do much… our foes are falling by themselves…" Lucius joked in a low voice.

Kiana who was beside him heard it fully though. Her eyes went wide as she connected the dots.

\'How\'d he?… no that can\'t be… Keith fell on his own… it was an accident… but Asher spoke to him before that… he said something that made him rush to the maids…\' Tens of thoughts ran in Kiana\'s mind upon hearing Lucius\'s words.

But after a minute, she realized all these thoughts were unnecessary. She was thinking about a \'trash\' that was not worth it. 

\'If he died so be it.\' Kiana thought, as her eyes turned cold.

Donald who was just a few steps behind Lucius had also witnessed the entire scene from the start to the end and could not tell how it ended up like this. They were just conversing and the next second Keith was on the ground with a glass shard embedded in his neck.

The people in the hall were very uneasy and nervous now. Most of them were heirs of other nobles and half of them were even children. They simply had no idea how to deal with situations like these.

Even Andrew and Paul who were the more older members of the nobility here were barely able to handle this. The guards were also putting pressure on the neck of Keith, trying to stop more blood from coming out.

Alas! It was all for naught. Even though they put pressure on his neck, the blood simply bled into the only other place it could… his throat. 

Keith kept on twitching on the ground, his eyes red and dripping with tears. His mouth was wide open as blood pooled out from it. Unknown to everyone besides Lucius, the first aid the guards were giving Keith was wrong.

They thought they were helping but in reality, the blood was only filling the lungs of Keith when they propped him up. 

"Look! The bleeding is getting less!" one of the noble heirs pointed.

Bethany and the others felt slight relief, while Lucius had a hard time holding in his laughter.

\'These people truly are dumb, aren\'t they? What kind of education do they get even while being nobles?\' Lucius wondered.

He recalled the things he had learned from Kain, John, and Donald in these past couple of months and realized they did cover quite a lot of things. From swordsmanship to first aid, John taught him what would be needed on the battlefield.

While Kain taught him literature and how to read. Just the vast array of books that he had given to Lucius was enough to expand Lucius\'s vision.

Lucius turned to look at the two men who were barely handling the situation; Andrew and Paul.

"Hmm… these two seem a bit better. They seem like good choices to invest in the future perhaps." Lucius muttered to himself.

Barely five minutes had passed since Keith had fallen, and chaos had spread in the hall. By the time the healer finally arrived, Keith had stopped bleeding.
