133 Hungry Caveman (2/2)
Prince Frey looked at him with rumbled thoughts. From the way he looked at it, he knew that he was with Biane and Clemora, which means that he was probably under Princess Aelina's banner.
While Prince Frey was in deep thought Prince Weiss was already approaching the satisfied Lyon. ”Good evening, young man, I see that you have a lot of power in you that almost rivals mine.”
With a smile, he continued, ”I will give it to you straight, join me in my conquest to be the ruler of Luderia, I will make you the general of the army, all the resources you need, I will provide!”
This tempting offer made the crowd drolled. Given a prestigious position that was full of respect on top of massive resources, one would be crazy to even think of refusing it.
Clemora and Biane squinted her eyes with rage, however, before they could refute.
”Prince Weiss, I thought you would make me the general?”, a foreign yet familiar voice suddenly heard as one figure distinguished himself from the crowd of nobles.
”Hey, it's Marques Raynoldus, son of Duke Armand,” whispered one of the nobles.
Prince Weiss couldn't help but clicked his tongue as Marques Raynoldus approached him. ”My brother Raynoldus, don't you worry about that thing, I will reimburse you well once I'm the ruler.
Though he was gritting his teeth behind his lips, he couldn't help but nod. However, he didn't stop there and actually approached the trio behind the long table.
”What is the meaning of this, I thought our father had an arrangement for our marriage?” said Raynoldus as he was fumed with anger. Since Prince Weiss was behind him, he took the chance he got to confront the ladies.
”That was our father's idea and without our consent, you think we would accept that? If we were weak women we would probably married off years ago,” said Biane as her tone matched her red dress with black fire pattern.
”Gh! The agreement has already been decided, or are you two going to betray your own father? Your own family?”
”Family? Please, what do you know about 'family'?” replied Biane without hesitation before she continued, ”Family supposed to be the one that supports each other, not sacrificing one for a selfish gain!”
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence as Biane said her piece. In the end, in greater things, she was right. A family was never about blood, but about bonds.
”That's right, what Lady Biane just said is correct,” said Prince Frey with a smile. Though he had a chubby figure, he still had a royalty demeanor. ”That's what my vision is all about as I strive to become the ruler,” continued Prince Frey with a nod.
”Hahaha,” suddenly the room was filled with a burst of hearty laughter. The onlookers furrowed their eyebrows as they look at the savage standing between the two beautiful women.
”C'mon Biane, Clemora, we are going home, we are done here,” said Lyon as he headed for the south door of the room while lightly chuckling. The two ladies were surprised before quickly catching up behind him.

At this point, no one noticed that the huge crack Lyon made on the side of the cliff was getting larger.
