Chapter 562 You, you, you are!
"Oh, is that so? What do you want with me and my territory?" I said in a very calm voice.
Though I was calm on the surface, there was a part of me that was a bit worried.
After all, this marquis wouldn't come here for no reason.
Seeing that I wasn't impressed at all by his title, the marquis lost it again as he pointed at me and said, "You, you, you lowly count! You dare treat my title so lightly? Don't you know how prestigious the Marchchamp family is?"
His subordinates also went along with him as he said, "You lowly count, are you insulting our marquis? Do you want your entire territory trampled?"
The way that they were acting, it was as if they were deliberately trying to suppress me.
Of course, I didn't have any fear since I knew that there was someone on my side that would back me up if anything went wrong.
It was just that I was confused why a marquis had suddenly appeared in my territory like this.
It wasn't as if I had done anything that would attract this marquis to my territory, so why did he suddenly appear like this?
I just calmly faced the marquis and his men and said, "Well, is there anything you want from me?"
When the marquis heard this, his eyes finally lit up and the look of rage disappeared from his face. He gave a cough and said, "You should know how rude it is to keep someone of my status waiting for so long. For a lowly count like you, you should make yourself available as soon as I summon you."
I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this, but I didn't say anything as I waited to see what else he had to say.
The marquis then said with a sly smile, "But this is a matter that can be solved easily. As long as you're willing to offer some compensation, then I'm willing to drop this matter."
As expected, he was here to exploit me for something.
Though I had no idea what he really wanted.
Seeing that I still didn't say anything, the marquis revealed a displeased look as he said, "What are you doing? Bring out the dwarves and the ores. As long as you give me these things, I will forgive you for this matter."
It was clear now that he wasn't working with anyone, he was just a rash idiot that was trying to claim glory for himself by taking the dwarves and the ore to present to the kingdom. He wanted to use his status to pressure me into giving the things that he wanted to him.
He didn't have a single idea of what the real situation was and just acted on his own.
In the end, all I could do was shake my head and give a sigh.
I could also hear a sigh coming from behind me.
I didn't need to turn around to look to know that it was coming from the fourth prince.
Seeing that I was acting this way, the marquis suddenly pointed his finger at me and said, "What is the meaning of this?"
He didn't know what I was doing, but it was clear that he didn't like it.
I didn't bother answering as I took a step back.
When I did, the fourth prince suddenly stepped forward.
Both of us knew that it was easier for him to take care of this matter.
When the marquis saw the fourth prince coming forward, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes since he felt that this person was familiar.
However, his men didn't recognize the fourth prince and they started insulting him.
"Who do you think you are to stand so boldly in front of the marquis!"
"People with no status should bow in front of the marquis!"
"How bold, let me teach you a lesson!"
But the marquis' expression suddenly changed into a look of shock as he said, "You, you, you are!"
