Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 357. The Two Crowns of the Van Houdsen Family. 2
Things are a little calmer. Axelia tries to wipe away her tears and apologizes to Revon.
“I'm sorry for already making Revon-sama angry”
There was no response from the cold man. He went back to the subject.
“This letter has just arrived and I think Rexa may still be at the Midford residence. I call you because I want to tell you that Rexa's decision is round”
“I don't accept!” vexia bentak. “My husband, what the hell is this?! It would be absurd to let our engagement and good relationship with Earl Midford end just like that just for an unimportant reason!”
Vexia then pointed at Axelia with her folding fan, “The cheap woman and her dirty child were the cause! I told you not to put Xenon in the same school as our son!”
“The son of a flirtatious servant who can only be a pest in my household! Even though he is already a part of this family but I will never admit it!”
“....” Axelia could only bow down miserably and not reciprocate
Her clenched hand endured the pain of her heart clasping her beautiful dress that had started to get wet as her tears returned.
Vexia is not finished with her mouth that, “I will not agree to this! I won't let a unilateral decision from Rexa happen!”
“My husband, you promised me you would do whatever I told you to compensate for giving you permission to marry a woman who doesn't know herself! Now, I won't let Rexa's engagement just cancel!”
“Even if he had to leave his position as the Magic Council Division Captain, it was better than canceling the engagement with the family of another hero!”
“I want you to do something with Rexa and her stupid decision was!”
Vexia stood up and left the room. Before leaving, Vexia had said something, “If until the cancellation of this engagement occurs, the dirty blood will not escape me. Remember that!”
Of course, the sound of slamming doors also adorn the tense atmosphere.
The trembling Axelia started to open her voice.
“I'm sorry. Forgive me. I'm really sorry, Revon-sama. Hiks..”
Just as the beautiful woman began to cry and covered her face with both hands, the cold-faced man came and knelt before her.
Grabbing the hand of the crying woman, the cold face did not change. However, his tone of voice had become slightly softer.
“It wasn't your fault. Don't cry”
“Hiks..but, Rexa-sama did this for Xenon and..hiks...”.
“It's all decided and I won't do anything to Rexa”'s decision
Axelia was surprised, “But Vexia-sama is already that angry! Revon-sama can't–”
“I am the head of the family here. Even if he threatens me, there are still many ways to fight him. He's nothing without van Houdsen”
A gentle swipe from the cold-faced man wiped away the tears of the woman before him. More surprisingly, the cold face turned into a gentle face with a beautiful smile.
In order to comfort his other wife's heart, a soft kiss landed on her cheek.
“Nothing will happen to Xenon. Isn't that what I promised you when I decided to put him in the academy with Rexa?”
“I will keep my promise to you. At least, to pay for the sins I committed on you, Axelia”
It was completely different from what he had shown when calling the woman in the garden earlier.
Cold and indifferent on the outside, but when there was no one but the two, the man was so kind and gentle treating the woman he had in his arms right now.

Meanwhile, Vexia who returned to her room slammed all the items in her room.
Her flower vase, mirror, chair, makeup box and several other objects were thrown and destroyed.
A few maidservants broke into her room and tried to stop her but a bell throw from a ceramic vase floated towards her servants.
“Enyah you! Go and don't bother me!”
Nothing could stop his anger so getting out of there was the best option for now.
“Rexa..oh, my son whom I am very proud of. Why are you so easy to destroy your mother's wishes and dreams, son?”
“Mom won't agree to this! I will never let that filthy servant kid get in the way of all mom's big plans!”
“Power and big name must go back into the hands of van Houdsen and all the disgrace created by both people do not know themselves it must be lost!”

On the way, Lucas and Rexa and Mark exit the Midford residence. They walked towards the gate keeping a watchful eye.
“Lucas, Mark...what happened in your room earlier?”
“Slightly. But we will talk about that after coming out of the gate of this house” Lucas said
“I understand”
“So, what happened?” ask Rexa back
“Slight insects eavesdropping since we arrived” replied Lucas
Right now, the three of them's communication with Emily is still connected and Emily who heard it answers Rexa.
“Emily feels like two people have been eavesdropping on your conversation since you arrived and watching you, Rexa-sama” Emily said
“What? Then, do you know it?”
“No. Even about the man you call Diaz-Gemini.Emily can't see what he looks like”.
Rexa looked at her two nodding friends.
“So apparently. Then, did you find anything, Emily?”
“There is active magic but no half elves there. All of them are servants of that family and their magic level is normal”
“There are only four people who have great magic in the Earl's residence. Belonging to the host, the man named Diaz-Gemini and the two who eavesdropped on you”
“However, from his aura..there is something wrong”.
Emily's statement tickled the three a little. Lucas asked his sister, “Why?”
“It was like being suppressed by magic but Emily couldn't figure it out. Forgive Emily”
“That's good, Emily. You've tried so well. Now let's just end this communication and we'll report it to you as soon as” Mark said
“Good, Mark-sama. All Emily also has a little to report to you about the situation at academy”
“What is it?” ask Lucas back
“Regarding girl sucks Misha who makes a noise here”
Rexa stopped and was surprised. “Did he do something to Xenon?!”
“No. More details Emily will tell. Emily will be waiting for you to arrive”
“I understand. I'll break it all up. Please take care until I get back, okay?”
“Good, Lucas”
[Nox]
All Emily's magic is lost without a trace on all three. Now, Rexa's expression was quite terrible.
“We should be back soon. I'd love to hear it all!”
Before Rexa walks, Mark holds his friend's hand.
“Don't rush, Rexa. You're not okay in my eyes and I don't want to get in trouble because your emotional level is still labile”
Lucas was eager to reply to Mark, but he chose to say it in his heart.
‘Didn't you also cause trouble yourself because of your still-labile emotional level, Mark? But never mind, I myself said I would close my eyes to the incident so I should not say anything’
Rexa. He tried to calm down and say something.
“I've already cancelled it. Although maybe my parents will do something to me after this. Earl also does not seem to be staying silent”
“But I don't mean to continue it and won't pull my say back”
“I hope this decision will not make me again endanger the position and feelings of Xenon”
******
At the academy, Xenon was working on a few stacks of documents with Algeria while grumbling in his heart.
‘I can't believe all the mountains of paper in front of me. Don't tell me the purpose Algeria-sama brought here is to swallow all this paper round-round’
Just grumbling, suddenly Algeria came carrying a new pile.
“Eh?”
“Please do this one also yes, Xenon-sama”
“But..this one alone is not–”
“I know you're great, Xenon-sama. I'm gonna go to the lobby for a second. Please don't come out until everything's done. Fight”
After giving all those piles away, Algeria smiled and left Xenon with his mountain of paper.
“I'll burn all this paper. Just look at later”
