With the sa smile that made want to punch him in the face, the sly looking noble said, "Your majesty, you said that you want to discuss sothing regarding my wife? I'm sure that you know how much she ans to and how much of a loving husband I am."
The way that he said along with that smile just increased the urge that I had to punch him in the face.
But I was able to hold myself back in the end since I knew that there was nothing to gain from this.
At the sa ti, I knew that he would be getting his just desserts.
"I understand what you an, but I think that you should know what kind of status I have and what kind of favour this would be considered to . That's why I feel that you won't mind as much if I ask for sothing." After saying this, I revealed a sly smile that was just like the one that the sly looking noble had.
There was a trace of surprise that appeared in his eyes after he heard this.
It was clear that he didn't expect to say sothing like this all of a sudden. At the sa ti, it even seed like there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes, as if he recognized the familiarity that I said this with.
It was as if I was already used to doing things like this.
And if that was the case, he naturally appreciated it since it ant that I was soone easier to talk to and bargain with.
Another trace of disgust filled when I saw him like this, but I held it back in the end.
The smile that was on his face beca even wider after hearing this as he said, "Of course, of course. I think that there's no need to beat around the bush then. I've heard that your majesty has just tad a few wyverns and I have to say that I absolutely adore creatures like them. I hope that I will be allowed to raise a few of these wyverns with your majesty's permission."
The way that he said this was as if he was asking for permission, but I knew that what he was asking for was wyverns in exchange for Ann.
It seed that he had quite the greedy appetite that he was even asking for wyverns for her. And at the sa ti, it didn't seem like he was planning on backing down from this asking price.
After all, he didn't flinch at all when he saw suddenly knit my brows slightly.
It seed that he was confident that I would agree to his price.
This was most likely another one of the reasons that he was able to reach his current position with the personality that he had. He was soone that wasn't willing to back down from his bottom line, so he knew exactly what he wanted.
There was a tense silence that filled the air while we just stared at each other, but eventually I said, "Alright, I can see that you're not willing to budge from this price."
During the pause that I gave, the sly looking noble's smile beca even wider.
But then I said, "However, I'm also soone that isn't that easy to take advantage of."
Right as soon as my voice fell, I started to stand up without a single care.
The sly looking noble's smile finally faltered when he saw like this. His lips couldn't help twitching, showing that this wasn't what he had expected.
There was even a trace of panic that appeared in his eyes before he suddenly stood up as well and said, "Your majesty, are you sure that you want to walk away like this? I'm sure that we can still discuss this."
"You want to discuss this now?" I turned around and asked this as soon as his voice fell.
The sly looking noble's lips twitched again when he heard this, but he didn't let his smile disappear as he said, "Anything in this world can be discussed. I'm sure that as long as we talk this through, we'll be able to reach a conclusion that everyone is satisfied with."
"You're telling that you want to talk this through? When you wouldn't budge on the price?"
I suddenly grabbed Ann after saying this and pulled her up. She didn't resist at all as she let herself be pulled up by and then I pulled her over to the sly looking noble's side.
There wasn't a single mont where his eyes fell onto her, his eyes were on the entire ti. With how he acted, it was almost as if she didn't exist at all.
But for soone like him who used Ann like so kind of disposable chip, it only made sense that he acted this way.
After pulling her over, I said, "Look at her, it's clear that she's not what she was advertised to be. For goods like this, do you really think that I would pay that kind of price?"
The sly looking noble was completely taken aback when he heard this.
It was very clear that he didn't expect to say sothing like this.
It was clear that he was evaluating again with the way that he looked at , but I didn't care at all as I waited for a response from him.
After a long silence, the sly looking noble finally said, "Your majesty, I understand where you're coming from, however you should know what kind of risks I'm taking here. These are not the kind of risks that can be ignored that easily."
I reached my hand down to grab Ann's hands before saying, "So you're telling that she's worth that much?"
The sly looking noble hesitated a bit before he seed like he was about to say sothing else.
But before he could, there was a burst of flas that appeared in front of him.
