Camille was somewhat shocked by Leon's words, but she quickly recovered.
"Livia, please show this picky customer the spare sign in the store."
"Okay, okay, Leon. Although it doesn't feel quite right."
Olivia muttered to herself as she took out a sign that looked exactly like the one outside. Leon took it and pointed directly to the two lines of small characters on it.
"Damage to property will be compensated 100 times the amount" and "Entering this store signifies acceptance of the above rules."
"This discerning guest, do you have any further questions?"
With a victorious smile on his face, Lyon stretched out his right hand, gesturing for the money to be paid quickly.
Camille's face flushed red at Leon's behavior. After a few rapid breaths, he broke down and started cursing and arguing.
"Hmph! You're nothing but a border baron, and the kingdom would never recognize such a foolish rule. I have no right to compensate you. If you kneel down and apologize to me now, and compensate me for the money I lost because of your match with His Highness, perhaps I will forgive you. You country baron!"
Milenu was stunned by what she saw, looking somewhat bewildered. Although she had witnessed some outrageous things at the school festival, nothing was nearly as excessive as Camille's current behavior.
Angelica walked over and issued a statement to Camille in a cold tone.
"Enough! You'd better hurry up and pay the compensation and leave! You're not welcome here!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Camille turned around and saw Angelica, who was on the opposing side. Her expression became even more arrogant, without any fear.
"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this Angelica, the one whose engagement was broken off by His Highness Julius? Why are you dressed like this? Don't you feel ashamed as a noblewoman's daughter?"
Angelica was about to retort when she heard Camille's words, but Camille interrupted her sharply.
“Angelica, do you think I’m afraid? What a pity! You’re in a terrible state now. You’ve been reduced to having a country nobleman as your follower.”
Hearing Camille's outrageous words, Olivia couldn't help but step forward to stop him. Although her face showed a hint of fear, her voice was firm.
"Please stop! Please leave us immediately!"
"Don't get too cocky! You're just a commoner, and do you think you've become a nobleman? Or do you think you're on the same level as us just because you're Ange's beloved pet?"
Camille's sharp, piercing words made Olivia take a step back, her face showing shock as she looked at Angelica in a panic.
However, when faced with Camille recounting her past and her previous actions, Angelica became at a loss and lacked the courage to refute him.
"So, because you've lost friends, you've turned to commoners for support? The Duchess has really become quite pathetic. I've almost forgotten when you said at the tea party that commoners were just numbers. Didn't you say you didn't really care about commoners either?"
"Commoners aren't people! Don't you understand your own position at all? Everyone's only keeping quiet because of that scumbag knight who did the deed and the duke's daughter. You're the kind of guy who..."
"enough!"
Lyon's icy voice rang out, the signboard in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Camille with eyes full of murderous intent.
"What, does this lowly baron intend to make an enemy of the Duke? Or has something been touched on a sore spot?"
Despite Leon's abnormal behavior, Camille continued to speak arrogantly, which sounded extremely grating. He also gave a wink to the demi-human slaves behind him.
"Hmph, thinking he's so great. Miss, this guy seems to need a good talking to."
Princess Milenu, standing at the doorway, finally couldn't help but speak up after seeing how things had turned out.
"That's enough! I can't stand watching this anymore!"
Milennu's reprimanding voice rang out, and everyone except Leon turned their gaze towards it. Angelica and Olivia both bowed slightly.
However, Camille and the demi-humans, unaware of Princess Milenu's identity, all wore impatient and angry expressions.
"What is it, Auntie? You're so annoying."
Camille looked at Milenu's stunningly beautiful face with an indescribable disgust.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Please pay your bill and leave immediately. Are you even students of this academy? No, don't you, as nobles, feel ashamed?!"
Milenu suppressed her dissatisfaction and spoke in the coldest possible voice.
However, her words were met with laughter and sarcasm from Camille and the others.
“What an idiot. Whether you’re the daughter of Earl Overley or some duke or marquess, you’d better apologize now, pay up, and get out of here! Otherwise, I won’t be so lenient with you.”
Leon had a strong impression of Milenu's voice, so he recognized it and, suppressing his anger, spoke as calmly as possible.
He didn't particularly want to show his bad side to Olivia, Angelica, and the Princess. After all, they hadn't experienced much darkness, not even the Princess.
"Huh? Are you threatening me, you country baron? Don't think you can face the Earl just because you have the Lost Item! You damned..."
Bang!
Camille saw a black figure appear in his field of vision, followed by a sharp pain in his eyes.
"I told you to pay up and apologize right away, but you insist on making me take action. I really don't understand where you nouveau riche get your confidence from."
Lyon still remembered Count Overley, after all, he had blown up one of Augustus's floating islands to rescue his people.
"Ugh! Damn it, damn it! Kill this guy right now! Kill him!"
Camille covered his bruised eye and howled in pain, a far cry from his previous arrogant demeanor.
Hearing their master's wails and commands, the demi-humans exchanged glances and raised their enormous fists at Lyon.
"Hehe, you guys are the ones who should be worried!"
As he spoke, Lyon launched an attack on the demi-human servants.
The foremost demi-human slave raised his hands in the air and immediately delivered a punch-like version of a Mount Tai crash to Lyon. And this attack, riddled with openings, showed him no concern whatsoever.
Because the academy generally doesn't allow demi-human slaves to attack female students, as this would cause the male students to be disliked by the girls, the demi-human slaves are quite arrogant within the academy. Sometimes they even deliberately make things difficult for the male students and do all sorts of unreasonable things.
However, this is completely irrelevant to Leon, and it could even be said that he doesn't consider demi-humans as human beings at all, for various reasons.
After all, most young people in China normally believe in the concept of equality for all, but Leon did not when facing these demi-human slaves.
Therefore, without hesitation, after dodging the attack, Leon punched the demi-human slave in the face. The force, even stronger than that of a human, sent him flying, crashing into the chair and crushing him.
"That chair is worth a thousand dias, so remember to pay for it later."
Leon ducked to avoid another demi-human's lunge, then turned and kicked it against the wall. Without hesitation, he finished it off with a single kick to the groin.
"what!!!"
The sound of the egg breaking was so crisp and chilling that it startled the remaining three demi-humans, who hesitated and stopped in their tracks.
Although they signed slave contracts with Camille, they didn't sign contracts of life and death! They wouldn't risk their lives for their testicles! After all, even if the contracts were terminated, the girls would quickly sign new ones and continue to enjoy themselves.
“Lyon, he, he…”
Olivia stared at the scene before her, speechless for a long time, her fair face flushed with embarrassment. Angelica was the same.
Princess Milian, standing at the door, seemed somewhat surprised and muttered to herself.
"Leon, his fighting style is like this? Looking at it this way, the fight that day wasn't so bad after all."
"No, no! Milenu, we can't give up like this."
Realizing that her attitude had changed somewhat, Milen shook her head and clenched her fist to encourage herself.
"Why don't you just arrest those two girls and that auntie? Hurry up!"
Seeing the retreating demi-human slaves, Camille issued new instructions, intending to use Olivia and the other two to threaten Leon.
"It was really a stupid decision."
Lyon laughed as he watched the demi-humans running toward Milenu, showing no pity whatsoever.
"Livia, and Ange! Please protect the princess well. I will end this guy's riot soon."
"Okay, okay." ×2
Leon spoke loudly, revealing Milenu's identity without any hesitation. At the same time, he threw the tea set on the table at the demi-humans and Camille without any regard for the cost.
Camille's attack on Milenu was truly foolish. Even if the Queen doesn't punish them, those demi-humans will definitely be killed, and the Earl of Overley will certainly provide compensation, including for the tea utensils lost while protecting the Queen!
Thinking this to himself, Leon suddenly felt like a genius.
After all, the price of the damaged teaware will be entirely up to you!
Milenu tried to stop Leon as he went berserk, but Leon, blinded by money and wanting to vent his anger, ignored her and launched an even more ferocious attack on Camille's demi-humans.
He grabbed a demi-human's fist with both hands, using a clever twist to change its direction, causing it to lose its balance. The demi-human, now off balance, was kicked in the buttocks by Leon, who then pounced on another demi-human beside him, pinning it to the ground.
"You're next!"
With a roar, Leon launched an attack on the remaining demi-human slave, forcefully throwing a teapot at its most vulnerable spot.
Clang! Snap!
Two distinct, crisp sounds rang out, signifying that Lyon had successfully completed a full dunk!
The consequence of the full dunk was that the demi-human slave who served as the backboard was now curled up in pain, clutching his injured and crying testicles, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.
"So, only the last step remains."
Seeing that the demi-humans were all lying down and powerless to resist, Leon began his skillful operation. He took some rope from the counter, tied their hands and feet, tore their clothes to shreds, and stuffed them into their mouths to prevent them from continuing to wail.
"What a pity. If we were outside, we should have stuffed their mouths with dirty socks by now."
Leon looked at the demi-human slaves he had bound, each one glaring angrily at him, and his hands almost imperceptibly reached for the remaining teacup.
!!!
"Woo~wu~wu~"
The demi-human slaves immediately fell silent, turned their heads away, and began to weep silently.
"How...how could this be?"
After watching his demi-human slaves being completely defeated by Leon, Camille collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his body, soaking his clothes, his eyes filled with fear as he stared at Leon.
She was afraid that Leon would beat her up like that too!
However, Lyon had already made up his mind about Camille's decision regarding the Earl of Overley, so he didn't even glance at her and walked towards Milenu and the other two, who were still in shock.
Kneeling on one knee before Milenu, his forehead slightly lowered, the alluring fragrance wafted through his nostrils and into the depths of his mind, calming Leon completely.
“Your Highness, at your command, I—Lion von Bartofarth, the kingdom’s youngest knight, the kingdom’s most loyal knight, and the kingdom’s bravest knight—will attack Count Overley without hesitation!”
Lyon used the word "most" three times in a row, showing his excitement.
“Even if you wanted to exterminate their entire clan, I would carry it out strictly! I can assure you that not a single living being will remain on Earl Overley’s territory!”

P.S.: Subtracting the current number gives the amount of drafts saved up. Hopefully, all of these will be gone after the bounty ends.
P.S.: I apologize for only updating 8,000 words on the day of release. Because I won't be getting the full attendance bonus this month, updates will be less frequent. After the bounty ends, it will be April, and updates will be more frequent then. I'll discuss the specifics after the bounty ends. In short, my writing is terrible, but I'll guarantee quantity. After all, I can't guarantee quality, but I can guarantee quantity.
Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 45 Milenu: Do you prefer Angela or Livia?
Lyon knelt on one knee and spoke earnestly, his whole being exuding a loyalty that would be fulfilled without hesitation if the princess gave the order!
"Um, Lyon, that won't do. I, I didn't mean it that way."
Milenu spoke in a somewhat flustered manner, her expression anxious, and she looked at Angelica with pleading eyes.
"Anjie, please say something quickly."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Angelica replied, then paused to think before speaking.
“Lyon, the Princess doesn’t want everyone to know that she’s traveling incognito. So…”
"I understand! I threw these guys out, but about compensation..."
After agreeing, Lyon looked at Milenu with teary eyes, his face full of grievance, like a child who had been wronged.
"Well, the compensation will be handled according to your rules, Lyon. Anyway, I don't want to see them right now."
Seeing Leon's pitiful little eyes, Milenu immediately softened and agreed.
[Leon must have suffered a lot of injustice. These girls are really something...]
Having received Milenu's approval, Leon quickly wiped away the grievance in his eyes, stood up, and threw the demi-human slave and Countess Camille out.
"Oh, hey! Did you remember what the princess just said? You nouveau riche, don't try to renege on your debt later."
Lyon solemnly instructed Camille, who was still in a daze, and waved his fists in front of his face a few times as a threat.
After a simple cleaning, the room returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.
However, the blood-stained shirt on Leon's body spoke volumes about the intensity of what had just transpired.
