Chapter 191: My turn is coming.
Duke Thorin opened a bottle of wine and handed out glasses to every Thorin that could drink. They watched in delicious glee as the prime minister melted in horror as the realization of the mistake he had made sunk in.
"Ah, you have found some of our treasures indeed, it is the finest cheese in all the land. Not even the royal kitchen has cheese this tasty. I don’t know if that is a crime, my duchess is it a crime?" he turned to his wife.
Duchess made a small hissing sound, she turned her head from side to side. On her face was a minor frown as she appeared to be pondering deeply. "Well, we can always give him some cheese. We have enough to feed the kingdom for a year."
Prime Minister Windrider was enraged, "Where is the gold? Where are you hiding it?" he growled out.
"There," Elowin blinked innocently and pointed at the single trunk of gold. "That is gold. Am I missing something?" He looked around at the others as if he was confused.
The gold he was pointing to had been examined, it had the mark of Eldoria’s bank. It was obviously not illegally gotten gold or gold nuggets from a mine.
The Thorin’s snickered while the prime minister’s face turned red shame.
"Help yourselves to some cheese and wine, nobody should call us greedy." Lady Iryne gestured at the knights.
The servants distributed the cheese and wine to them.
