Chapter 223 How Presumptuous
The grand hall of the Harmonfield Hotel was wrapped in an oppressive silence.
Ruby, daughter of the leader of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance, had unleashed words that were shockingly rude and unjust.
Ms. Silva was a guest of honor, invited by the very alliance Ruby represented.
As the celebratory host, Ruby's actions were nothing short of disappointing.
It appeared Ms. Quinn's upbringing lacked the refinement one would expect.
Wilhelm and Finn exchanged anxious glances, caught in the tension between Vera and Ruby.
They longed to intervene, to coax Ruby into restraint.
Yet they understood the depths of her fury all too well.
Once Ruby decided on a course, no one could deter her.
Pampered by her father Ronald throughout her life, Ruby was accustomed to having her wishes fulfilled.
There was one case that involved the daughter of one of Ruby's grandfather's students.
At school, she had a rival in that girl, whose beauty captivated everyone around her.
The girl's eyes shimmered like those of a woodland sprite, entrancing all who beheld her.
Gentle and kind, she garnered the affection of peers and teachers alike.
Frequent praise flowed to her, particularly for her enchanting gaze.
Such admiration only stoked Ruby's jealousy.
One fateful afternoon, Ruby deceived the girl into a hidden corner.
She commanded the children of the elders, who always flattered her, to blind the girl. They gouged out her eyes.
When the girl's father discovered this horror, he nearly lost his sanity.
Understanding that Ruby was the leader's daughter, he reluctantly confronted Ronald and Kyler.
To his disbelief, Ronald offered no reprimand to Ruby. Instead, he allowed Kyler to punish the disciple severely.
Ronald made it clear that as long as his granddaughter was pleased, nothing else mattered.
From that day forward, both the disciple and his daughter vanished without explanation.
Their fate became a dark secret, lost to time.
