"Tough position?" Isla raised an eyebrow curiously. She didn't expect to hear the prince making excuses out of nowhere. This was a man with enough influence to rule the entire capital if he wished. There was really no viable way of putting pressure on this man unless you have something he wants.
"I feel frankly disappointed that you think I am not someone who upholds agreements, Lady Isla." The prince replied in a cold tone. "Your little foe had asked to meet me as soon as he arrived at the city and his offer was, and I'm being honest here, quite odd."
"Was it better than what we offer?" Isla asked. "We are giving you the biggest advantage."
Isla wasn't someone who loved to brag or show off. But, she was aware of how truly precious their connection with the prince was. They were the strongest players and the ones to arrive first in the capital. They had an advantage no other player had and the prince seemed to see that too.
