Chapter 561 Who do you think I am?
I narrowed my eyes to look at this person and found that it was one of Rose’s subordinates.
When they came in, they immediately came over to where Rose and I were sitting and said, “There’s someone causing trouble in the square.”
Rose and I looked at each other before we both knitted our brows.
With my title and our prestige in this area, there shouldn’t be anyone that would dare to do something like this.
But then again, even if they did, it shouldn’t take much for the guards to take care of them since we had carefully trained our guards.
So for Rose’s subordinate to come looking for us about this matter, it seemed that something serious must have happened.
So both of us stood up in the end.
I looked at the fourth prince and said, “Brother, I’m really sorry about this. I’ll take care of this matter quickly and come back right away.”
But to my surprise, I found that the fourth prince stood up along with us.
He said with a smile, “It’s nothing. Since there’s trouble, let’s go see who it is that’s causing trouble for my brother.”
Though he was smiling, I could see that the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
There was a part of me that was hesitating over letting the fourth prince come with us, but I knew that it would give him the wrong idea if I were to not let him come along after this.
So it was better to let him come along than to leave him out of this matter.
With a small nod, I said, “Alright, let’s go together then.”
The fourth prince gave a nod before turning to Rose’s subordinate, as if he was waiting for him to lead the way.
Rose’s subordinate turned to look at us and I just gave a slight nod to show that it was alright.
It was only then that Rose’s subordinate started leading us out.
Though he had said that it was in the square, so there really wasn’t a need for him to lead us out.
After all, the town hall that we were currently in was on one of the sides of said square. All we had to do was walk out of the town hall and we would be able to see what the commotion was.
When we came out of the town hall, we saw that there was a large group that was gathered in the center of the square.
In the center of this was a group of people who were on horses that stood above the rest.
Judging by the quality of their horses and the nice weapons and armour that they had, it didn’t seem like they were of low status.
But what were they doing here?
Since we could see the source of the commotion, we walked over to see what was happening.
As we came closer, we could hear a few things being shouted out.
“Where is your lord? Bring him to me right now!”
When I heard this, I immediately knitted my brows.
It was clear that whoever was saying this didn’t have any respect for the lord of this place and that meant that they didn’t have any respect for me since I was said lord. The way that they were shouting this, it was as if they believed that they were better than me.
This was not something that I took kindly too.
But at the same time, I found that it wasn’t just me who was displeased with this.
It was also the girls and even the fourth prince who had displeased looks on their faces.
Since they were calling me out, I wouldn’t just back down.
As I walked over, I found that Cecilia was also here with her troops.
When she saw me, she immediately came over with her troops and backed me as I walked over.
With her coming over, we created quite a big group.
With this big group, it didn’t take long before people started noticing us and moving out of the way.
At the same time, the leader of the group on horses also turned to look at me.
There was a strange look in his eyes as he looked at me, but there was no hiding the disdain that was also there.
When I came over, I said, “I am the lord of this place. You were looking for me?”
That leader of this group gave a snort before saying, “You took long enough to get here. All of this really has been a waste of my time.”
I knitted my brows when I heard this before asking, “Who do you think you are to act this way on my territory?”
That leader revealed a teasing smile as he said, “Who do you think I am?”
After he said this, his men also started to laugh.
It was clear that they weren’t laughing with us, but rather they were laughing at us.
I just gave a shrug as if I wasn’t bothered by this at all and said, “Who knows who you are? All I see is a fool trying to act tough.”
This provocation immediately had an effect as the leader’s smile disappeared and was replaced with a furious look.
I didn’t even expect this provocation to work this well since he looked like he was about to explode with rage.
That leader then said in a voice filled with rage, “A lowly count dares to talk back to me? Don’t you know who I am?”
I couldn’t help shaking my head when I heard this.
I had already said that I had no idea who he was and he was still asking me if I knew who he was…
I really couldn’t help wondering if there was a screw loose in his head.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, the leader said for himself, “I am the Marquis of the noble house of Marchchamp and you dare talk to me like this?”
A marquis…
That was a title that was a rank higher than count.
