Explain yourself

Before leaving this office, there was one more thing that Scar had to mention.

"I've heard that you obtained some mines in the Dwarven Kingdom…"

His voice trailed off after saying this, as if he was waiting for me to say something.

I just calmly looked at him and said, "And?"

Scar was taken aback when he heard this.

He just looked at me with that shocked and confused look on my face.

I took advantage of this to say, "Are you saying that the kingdom is trying to take my private property away from me? Not to mention, private property that I have in another kingdom? Who knows what would happen if they were taken from me."

Scar revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

He shook his head and said, "Of course not, how could I be saying that?"

I said with a smile, "That's good because I don't know what I would do if you were implying that."

Scar just looked away with an awkward look on his face after I said this.
