Chapter 401 Who do you think you are? (2)
It was just too bad that things wouldn't go the way that this young man wanted.
After a moment of silence, there was a voice that cut through the silence.
This was a voice that was filled with majesty and prestige.
"Who do you think you are?"
The moment that the young man heard this, he couldn't help knitting his brows slightly.
He couldn't help feeling that this voice was familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had heard it before.
Still, he didn't feel like he would lose, so he said, "Who am I? Who do you think you are?"
After saying this, he turned around while still pointing that sword forward and saying, "I am the son of Marquis Heiman, Timothy Heiman. I'm someone that is far more noble than you."
But the moment that he turned around, he couldn't help being shocked.
After all, even if he didn't recognize the person, there was no missing the crown on this person's head.
Standing behind him was the king.
The king was the one that had just spoken.
When the king saw this, he couldn't help revealing a smile. It was just that this smile never reached his eyes.
After a moment of shock, Timothy immediately brought his sword down as he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.
Even if he was an idiot, he still recognized what he had just done…
Pointing a sword at the king, was this any different from treason?
His only hope now was to explain the situation before it got worse or else he might really get executed…
So Timothy quickly put away his sword and said, "Your majesty, this cretin…"
Before he could say anything else, the king suddenly raised his hand.
Timothy's mouth froze as if there was some kind of magic that had been cast and he wasn't able to say a single thing no matter how hard he tried.
Though it wasn't magic that the king had used.
He was just suppressing Timothy with his natural prestige and majesty as a king.
The king narrowed his eyes to look at Timothy before saying, "Where did this fool come from?"
The moment that everyone heard this, they all couldn't help trembling and looking away. Not a single one of them dared to look at Timothy, as if they were afraid of being associated with him.
Even Marquis Heiman who had just come over tried to avoid looking at his own son as he regretted his decision.
He knew that his son was an idiot, but he never thought that his son would be this much of an idiot.
After all, the person that he had chosen to pick on was…
Seeing that no one said a thing, the king gave a snort and said, "Then is everyone blaming us for hosting this banquet that invited this fool?"
The moment that he said this, everyone trembled again before quickly bowing down in fear.
Not a single person dared to look up, but they all glared at Marquis Heiman.
The looks in their eyes were blaming him for not stepping out to take blame for his son, causing all of them to be caught in the crossfire as well. If he didn't go forward to take the blame soon, who knew what the king would do.
So there were many people that even started threatening Marquis Heiman with their gazes.
Seeing that he had no choice, he came out and said, "Your majesty, please forgive my foolish son. I will make sure that he will be severely punished when we return home."
The king just seemed to ignore him as he stroked his chin.
Everyone waited anxiously for the king to say something, but they all felt that this wouldn't be something good…
Finally, the king said, "Punishment? If I recall, the punishment for treason is execution."
The moment that his voice fell, it was like the two of them had suddenly fallen into a casket of ice.
Both of them started shaking out of fear as neither of them really knew what to say in response to this.
But when desperation set in…people could do anything.
That was the case with Timothy.
When he heard that he was to be executed, he broke free of the shackles of his fear and pointed at me to say, "He's the one that caused all of this, your majesty. This wretch was the one that was harassing the miss ambassador and I was just standing up for her. The one that should be executed is him!"
After he said this, everyone looked at him with looks of pity while shaking their heads.
This kid…was too stupid.
He had come to this banquet and he didn't even recognize the person that this banquet was held for, as well as blaming it all on him.
They could only look at Marquis Heiman with looks of pity.
Elsa seemed like she wanted to say something, but before she could, I grabbed her arm. When she looked at me, I just shook my head for her to stay calm.
This was a matter between humans and she shouldn't get involved in this matter or it would get more complicated.
The king narrowed his eyes as he said in a curious voice, "So you're saying that he is the one that was causing trouble with the ambassador?"
Timothy immediately nodded along to this with a look of hope in his eyes.
If the king was able to understand this, then there was still hope of surviving.
"That's right, your majesty. He was the one that came onto the miss ambassador first and I was just…"
Before he could finish, the king suddenly said, "But he's our ambassador as well. Doesn't it make sense that he talks to the ambassador from the Dwarven Kingdom?"
The moment that his voice fell, Timothy had a look like he was dying on his face.
He slowly turned back to look at me with a look of disbelief on his face.
He never would have thought that this person who he thought was a lowly commoner was actually someone this important…
Timothy opened his mouth and made some more noise like he wanted to make more excuses, but the king didn't have any of that. The king just simply raised his hand and said, "Take them away and lock them up. The punishment for the crime of treason is death and no one can escape that."
He then turned to Marquis Heiman and said, "You will be stripped of your title and your lands will be reclaimed. Your entire family will also be executed along with you to pay for this crime."
Marquis Heiman's last bit of hope collapsed when he heard this.
At worst, he had been planning to sacrifice his son…but he never thought that the king would be so ruthless and decisive.
Both he and Timothy wanted to make more excuses, but the king wouldn't have any of it.
The king just waved his hand and said, "Take them away and lock them up in the dungeon. Don't let them ruin this joyous occasion anymore."
The guards quickly came forward and took both Marquis Heiman and his son Timothy away.
While they were being dragged away, they were both still making excuses and pleading for mercy.
