Gasp!
All of the villagers were shocked, their eyes widening as they, for the first time, heard words of such low, derogatory vulgarity from a nobleman.
"D-did he just—mhm—!" Their mouths clasped shut as they looked with widened gazes toward him.
Viktor opened his mouth, exaggerated his words, showed them his middle finger, and yelled,
"You wrinkled assholes, shut your tiny ass-like mouths or I will impale bamboo in your butts until it gags your mouths!"
"KIEEKH—!"
'!'
The crowd fell silent, shocked into stillness.
"Wh-what—!?" someone stammered from the back.
Kaida's hand moved toward her dagger, her red eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation. Viktor was about to create trouble here—she could feel it.
The kind of trouble that would result in these villagers taking crude action—stone-pelting or some other pitiful form of retaliation that would force her to defend him to protect her mission.
