85 Noble Title? (1/2)
”I heard that you wanted to meet me, ”your highness” ” While sitting on the Lord's Seat in the Main Hall, Zabu smiled gently but it didn't hide the sarcasm behind his last words.
Hearing the mockery behind his words, Prince Ashton just smiled back and acted like didn't get the meaning behind Zabu's words, 'F*cking bastard!' he cursed in his mind angrily.
”Yes, Her Majesty specially sent me here to just to meet you but I didn't expect that your place would be surrounded by huge walls and you even have your own armed men patrolling around it and not only that, it seems your place could even accommodate at least two hundred people with your current infrastructures or maybe even five hundred if you let them just camp out in the vacant land inside your camp” Prince Ashton said smiling as he just tried to ignore the blatant insult to his title.
”Of course, isn't this place amazing? We managed to walled up at least over two hundred yards in diameter of the land, mwahaha!” Zabu boasted with a laughed.
”Anyway, for you to risked to your lives to come all the way here. There must something you want from me, doesn't it?” Zabu clasped his hands and rested it on the table as he smiled at Prince Ashton.
”Mister Leo is really straightforward” Prince Ashton then gestured at Brock who was standing behind him. After all, him, a prince is thoroughly kept in the dark of what their purpose of coming here.
Brock nodded and took a rolled paper out from the bag on the table and then unrolled it and glance at Brock intently before he said, ”Leo Wood! For your outstanding merits of rescuing survivors from the outbreak and building a safe haven for them. Her Majesty, The Queen, Elize VI has acknowledge your valiant efforts and courteously bestows unto you the Title of Earl and along-”
Bang!
”I refuse!” Zabu stood up in anger as he banged the table hard which the table surprisingly didn't even budge a bit even when Zabu pounded it with almost his strength behind it.
”W-what!?” Prince Ashton finally stood up in surprised, like the sound of the table being pounded woke him up from his dazed as he angrily looked at Brock.
”What's the meaning of this!?”
Brock ignored the prince as he glared in anger towards Zabu, ”What do you mean you refuse!? Her Majesty is honoring your contributions to the country along with a Noble Title!”
”Country!? Hahaha! What country!? This country doesn't exist anymore since order fell with people dying everywhere onto the jaws the monsters outside these walls! What noble titles!? What contributions!? Honor!? Honor can't feed our bellies! Get out of here before I order my men to imprison you all!” Zabu's bloodlust permeated in the room, creating a suffocating atmosphere as he yelled angrily at Brock.
”Why you-”
”Get the f*ck out of our camp! Now!”
Hearing Zabu's words, Prince Ashton was about to berate him for insulting the royal edict but Zabu angrily cut him off.
'F*ck! This wasn't part of the script! Shit! I didn't expect that they would actually give me a Noble Title! But Zabu is really a good actor though, hehe what noble title? Che! Couldn't they just say they just want my armaments?' Leo thought while watching the 'play' in front of his eyes.
”What you're doing is treason!” Brock angrily yelled back as he felt insulted.
”Treason!?” Zabu gave a wide grin before he walked behind his chair and picked up his warhammer.
”Treason, eh!? This is treason you bastard!” Zabu roared as he dashed towards Brock and swung his weapon towards the latters head, planning to turn him into a meat paste.
Brock stood rooted there in fear as he wasn't expecting the situation to worsen this fast as he wasn't expecting Zabu to attack him without warning but just as the Warhammer was about to bashed his head clean..
”Stop!” a stern voice reverberated in the room.
The warhammer suddenly came into a halt just a few inches away from Brock's face.
With his face covered in cold sweat, Brock swallowed as he look at the thing in front of him in fear as he slowly staggered backwards almost falling on his butt.
