Chapter 413 Offer to join (1)

When I came in, the butler suddenly said, "Count Zwein is here to request a meeting."

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.

When he said it like this, it was almost as if I was the one asking to meet with the eldest prince instead of being summoned by the eldest prince like what had happened.

The people in the room all snickered when they heard this, except for a single person who was laying down on a couch.

This person was a blond haired young man who had chiseled features. He couldn't be considered handsome, but he couldn't be considered ugly either.

He was just average.

This was the eldest prince.

This person laying on the couch raised his hand and gave a simple wave before saying, "Let him in."

At this, the butler turned to look at me and gave a nod, as if indicating for me to go in.

Seeing this pompous display, I really wanted to leave…but I couldn't since the other side was the eldest prince. While he didn't actually hold any power, the nobles that backed him couldn't be looked down on.

They were strong enough to keep the eldest prince in contention for the throne, so that was a testament to their power.

I came forward and gave a slight bow before saying, "Greetings to the eldest prince."

The eldest prince laying on the couch didn't even bother looking at me as he just gave a simple nod in response to this.

Then he pointed at one of the chairs that was placed on the side and said, "Sit."

He just said it as if he was giving an order, an order that shouldn't be disobeyed. The way that he said this was like he was the master of this place, but then again, that was true.

Still, it was very annoying seeing him act this way.

If I could, I really would have wanted to punch him in the face.

In the end, I walked over to the chair and sat down, waiting for the eldest prince to say something.

But the eldest prince completely ignored me after I sat down.

He turned back to the others that had been in the room before I came and said, "I heard that the new painting from Master Louvre is simply divine. We really do need to find the time to see it."

The others nodded and offered their own opinions on this.

The way that they acted, it was as if they completely ignored me.

Seeing the eldest prince act this way, I couldn't help knitting my brows even more.

Was he doing this on purpose to shame me or was he doing this because he simply did not care?

Was he smart enough to use this kind of tactic?

No, he shouldn't be that smart since I knew what the eldest prince was capable of because of my memories from the game. He was someone who was a complete fool through and through.

So why did he summon me if he didn't care about me?

I could have just stood up and left since he was ignoring me, but I had no idea what the eldest prince was planning, so I didn't dare act rashly.

I just sat there and waited to see what he was going to do.

But the eldest prince just kept talking to his companions without a single care for me.

It really seemed like he didn't care about me at all.

"Your highness, I must leave now. I'll come and see you again next time."

The eldest prince gave a nod before saying, "Don't be so cold and come more often."

With that, their talk was over and the ones that had been sitting there stood up to leave.

As they walked past me, not a single one of them acknowledged me.

I could even hear snickering coming from them as they walked past.

It seemed that birds of a feather really flock together.

These young nobles were clearly as bad as the eldest prince.

lights??vel Once they left the room, it was only me, the eldest prince, and the butler left in the room.

But even then, the eldest prince didn't acknowledge me at all.

He had the butler pour him a cup of tea while still laying there on the couch.

He just took a casual sip of his tea and closed his eyes as if he was about to take a nap instead of acknowledging me.

At this point, I knew that I couldn't just act passive anymore, so I gave a cough and said, "Your highness…"

Before I could say anything else, the eldest prince said, "Join my faction and offer yourself to me."

He didn't even bother opening his eyes as he said this. He had even said this in a voice that made it seem like this was the natural thing to do.

He said it like all things should belong to him and they should all offer themselves to him.

I deeply knitted my brows after hearing this.

There was a silence that hung in the air as I waited for the eldest prince to say anything else, but he just laid there with his eyes closed. If one didn't know any better, they would have thought that he had already fallen asleep.

I took a deep breath and said, "Your highness, thank you for this offer, but I'm not looking to join any factions right now."

Then I stood up before saying, "If that is all, then I have other business to attend to."

I was about to walk to the door, but the butler suddenly came forward to stop me.

As he did, he pulled out a dagger from an unknown place that he pointed at me.

I took a step back when I saw this before asking, "This is…?"

The eldest prince just calmly said, "Since you refuse, I can't let you leave here."

He opened his eyes to look at me before saying, "These are your choices, what will you choose?"
