Give it up, Ruenti. Her cuteness plus intelligence makes her irresistible. All shall fall before Leslie the Adorable!
Oh good, they caught him. My first assumption was poison, but if it triggered to silence him...magic?

Sir Ruenti surrenders, now no one can resist little Leslie.
@Psychronia Darkness is supposedly a Sperado signature thing. Likely a Sperado with higher proficiency with Darkness than Eli that put a curse on all the staff to keep them in line. The story hints the 2 headed snake (Royals) are connected to the Sperado's in this faustian pact, so it is likely a character we havn't been introduced to yet that got married into the royals.
This would explain why the servants of the house Sperado go along with all of this. Any sense of morals have likely been suppressed out of fear of fatal repercussions.

I can predict the end of the story.
TOTAL ANIHILATION OF THE SPERADO
Meaning that CUTENESS PREVAILS OVER EVIL!!
*cough* In more technical terms, that means Leslie and the Monster Duchess' family destroying them. But that still means CUTENESS PREVAILS!
Sorry, the cuteness made me high. I will show my way out now... 😓

AH, Ruenti. Resistance is futile. Join the Dark Side!
On a more seirous note; I hope he realises that her fear of failure in extremely high expectations of herself as well as her incredible knowledge is at least partly due to being forced and abused. He's going to go through the roof when he realises someone abused a genius like that. And wholly unnecessarily too.

Cutness is justice. 😂
Duchess is not messing around. She was all ready to torture that guy. 😲

rekt nerd with nerdy stuff
RIP Ruenti HE'S DED
also this is my theory why would marquis force leslie to study when in the end she's gonna get burn btw i think the knowledge she have as well as power(80%) also send to eli as well that's convenient power sperado have it's basically exp x2 for eli except sacrifice require
@Siquall dunno but im pretty sure that dude die not because duchess salvatore it must be curse that require condition like if he talk about sperado he's dead so the curse must be placed by sperado family

@stal2walk
If we can take what was said in the flashbacks literally,
"You must study, you must, etcetc, everything you learn and study is for your sister!"
Then yeah, there's a fair chance that having one kid devour another, also transfers wisdom. Albeit, that'd be silly.

Thanks for the chapter!
Anyone know if that stool pigeon was coughing up blood, shadow or something else? If shadow how was it done? Even if engagements and marriages were done around fifteen years old, seems odd for Eli to have enspelled him with a death curse if he talked even if she was perfectly ok sacrificing Leslie. After all, the Sperado family was in decline because it'd been a hundred years since last Shadow user appeared until Eli was able to coat her hand with shadow. Then again, maybe another noble or individual with atypical magic is involved who hates or fears the Duchess, but not the Sperados. Speaking of Eli, anyone know what she can do with her powers other than coat her hand?
@stal2walk Agree that Leslie's knowledge along with most of her power would've been transferred to Eli when sacrificed. Just guessing but only explanation for the Spartan training in academics at a level higher than most students in the academy study. Otherwise would've just locked Leslie in a windowless room/cell in the basement, no talking with anybody, and only provided with food, water, and an occasional chamber pot cleaning to keep interaction as minimal as possible since planned to sacrifice her even before conceiving her. Although details are really sketchy about the sacrificial ritual. Such as whether there is anything special about the sacrificial fire at that place (other than burning up the body to save hassle while sacrificing the victim,) whether the location or building requires certain characteristics, and how determine best time to do sacrifice. After all, during first chapter the Marquis felt Leslie needed to be put in the fire before sunrise and that the ideal time would roughly be six months after Leslie fell in the river.
@xcinsationalx Because they're a noble family with long lineage and had powerful Shadow magic users. Although they've been declining because it's been at least a hundred or so years before Eli since a Shadow magic user was born. Also, royal family has been overlooking a few things so could have a loyal Shadow user on command and make Sperado family feel obliged to them. Remember Leslie learned that not only were many children sacrificed while examining family tree archives but deduced that royal family definitely knew about it considering all the blatant signs such as only having two days for a sacrifice's funeral while commoners have three days and noble families usually take a week. That and how a Shadow User would soon 'blossom' into their power soon after their siblings death.

It's said in chap 2: Marquis to Eli
citation "if you hadn't awakened your power, I would've put you as a lady in waiting at the imperial palace. But since you did, we gave birth to her for the sole purpose of ransferring her magic to you" and
citation "If that child wasn't a sacrifice, I would've made her your maid"
It's not really logic so I supose Eli awakening her power not to long so Lesli was training for becoming a maid to her sis but Eli did so Lesli became a sacrifice

Ah yes, Rue give in and spoil your cute lil' sis. She hates the Sperados as much as you do, and maybe even more.

@Kingdo It does make sense if you think about it. He stuffed all the knowledge in her head not to help her advance in the world, but to aid her sister and the family in their exploits and possibly one the battlefield. He made sure she was prepared for either option (sacrifice or maid).
And highkey thinking 'maid' would be someone to carry out her sister's dirty work.
