Chapter 2557
The First Heir
Louis XXVI was startled by that slap. Next to him, Alice was also shocked. She covered her mouth, and
her eyes popped wide open.
âLouis, are you alright?â Alice still cared about Louis XXVI and quickly stepped forward. She held his
arm and asked with concern.
At the same time, she stared at Philip angrily and scolded, âWhy did you hit Louis? Although he said
something rude, you canât hit him like that! Heâs the youngest duke in Counter and my future husband!â
After saying that, Alice stared at Steven with resentment in her eyes and said, âSteven, I had changed
my mind about you at first and wanted to give you a chance. But seeing as how youâre hanging out with
such a reckless and rowdy Easterner, Iâm disappointed in you! Youâre as mean and hateful as they are!â
Alice reprimanded Steven, causing Stevenâs face to turn ugly and aggrieved. He did not expect Alice to
act this way, which completely overturned the image he had of her as a sublime goddess in his mind.
The current Alice had completely lost the grace, class, and elegance of a princess.
Steven felt very bad, but he still explained, âAlice, Iâm sorry. Theyâre my friends, so let me apologize to
you on their behalf.â
Perhaps Alice was only angry because Louis XXVI got hit, so she fumed and lost her elegance. That
was what Steven thought. However, Alice angrily slapped Steven and humiliated him. âSteven, who do
you think you are? Youâre just a lowly viscount. I donât accept your apology! I want them to apologize to
Louis! Heâs an honorable duke! How can we allow an Easterner to slap him? If you donât get them to
apologize to Louis, Iâll never forgive you!â
Steven was upset, and his eyes flashed with worry. His cheek burned with pain!
Philip and Fennel glanced sideways at Steven. This was the price of being a lapdog. In Aliceâs opinion,
Steven was just a viscount and a third wheel she took a slight interest in. No, perhaps he was not even
a third wheel.
Meanwhile, Louis XXVI finally returned to his senses and touched his somewhat swollen cheek. He
was full of anger!
âDamn it!â
This humble Easterner actually dared to slap him, the youngest duke of Country Y. This was a disgrace
to the Louis royal family!
An absolute insult!
âF*ck, you stupid Easterner! How dare you hit this noble face? Iâm the Duke of Louis! The youngest
duke of Country Y! The most promising duke under Her Majesty the Queen!â
Louis XXVI growled with dark eyes. His handsome face seemed a little evil due to emotional
fluctuations. Especially that hooked nose and spraying spittle made it more difficult for others to believe
his identity.
Was he really a duke?
Many people attending the party gathered nearby. They were all prominent figures of the West and
naturally recognized Louis and Alice!
âOh my, is that Duke Louis XXVI? He was actually slapped by an Easterner?â
âWhatâs wrong with this world? Someone dares to slap Duke Louis in the face! Heâs a royal duke!â
âViscount Steven is also there, being scolded by Princess Alice!â
On one hand, the onlookers were shocked by Philipâs strike. On the other hand, they mocked Steven.
Now, the entire Western world knew that Steven was Aliceâs faithful lapdog. Those who probed found
out what the term lapdog meant. They kept mocking Steven in private. However, Steven was unaware.
No, even if he was, he would think that others were just jealous of him.
