Chapter 562 You, you, you are!

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."

Hmm, it seemed that he was here for these, but was he doing this alone or was he sent by someone?

The first thought that I had was that he wasn't dumb enough to do something like this on his own. There was no doubt that he was working with someone to do this, there was even the possibility that he was working with the kingdoms that declared war on us.

I could also see that the fourth prince had a look of thought on his face as he looked at this Marquis Marchchamp.

Seeing that I still wasn't saying anything, the marquis raised his sword and said, "What do you think you're doing? Do you think that I won't cut you down here and now?"

I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this, but I raised a hand to stop Cecilia from charging at the marquis and his men.

After that, I looked at the marquis and said, "Why would I do that?"

The marquis was taken aback when he heard this.

It was clear that he thought that he would be able to bully me into doing what he wanted me to do, but now I was acting differently.

So he couldn't help being taken aback.

After taking a moment to come back to his senses, the marquis said with a sigh, "Don't you know that this is for your own good? Don't you know what is happening with this kingdom right now?"

I slowly shook my head to show that I didn't know what he was talking about.

Seeing this, the marquis said, "We're at war. Because the kingdom has signed a cooperation agreement with the Dwarven Kingdom, the surrounding kingdoms have declared war on us. In this situation, we all need to do our part."

Then his eyes lit up and he said with an arrogant smile, "As long as you turn the dwarves and the ores over, I'll be sure to mention your name when I present them to his majesty. When the time comes, there won't be a lack of glory for you."

An idiot, an actual idiot.

That was my impression of this Marquis Marchchamp.

It seemed like I wasn't the only one that thought this as I could see this same look from the fourth prince.

That was the only way to describe him.

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!"
