Ch 42: The Banquet Continues and a Dirty Conspiracy

The first one to react after this outrageous declaration was Rishia. As a diehard fan of Elena, in her opinion the margrave was not even worthy of a single nail of Elena. So, just as she was going to protest with her all might against the Margrave Theodor's delusion, a hand rested on her shoulder and stopped her.

Elena was obviously a bit bewildered by this announcement but not overly so, as she knew that there were various kinds of nobles and some of them were also very delusional like this one in front of her. It didn't mean he was someone bad or evil, in her opinion he was just foolish.

So Elena resisted her urge to just beat this guy up and be done with it even tho it was the easiest and most straightforward path. But she didn't want to do that as she actually had a good impression of this noble and how he had managed this territory so far.
