Chapter 330: Facing the Third Imperial Prince
Irion felt his heart rising, and a powerful sense of embarrassment assaulted him as he saw people looking at him and mumbling among each other. He couldn’t help but clenched his teeth before shouting.
"Are you questioning my company when you brought a criminal to this gathering!"
Although Irion’s behavior was unworthy of a member of a Royal Family, the news of a criminal in the feast was shocking, and everybody focused on Krane before turning their eyes toward Cain.
Cain remained calm as he took another sip from his cup. Unlike Irion, he was the epitome of composure amid pressure.
"I knew you were a fool, but I did not believe you were also deaf."
"You little..."
Irion was so furious that he nearly jumped out of his seat, but upon seeing the eyes of the Imperial Princes and Princesses, he managed to stay seated.
Cain softly shook his head since the man had more restraint than expected but carried on.
"I clearly stated that I will be using military criminals in my war efforts, so it makes sense that I will have one by my side. After all, a good leader always gets familiar with his troops, but someone like you who has never set foot on a battlefield would not know that."
Irion’s face froze, and silence reigned after Cain uttered those words. Not only did he give a perfect response for having a convicted criminal by his side, but he also made sure to repeatedly embarrass the Fourth Azure Prince for his lack of war experience.
The Fourth Azure Prince trembled as he felt how no one cared about the fact that Cain had brought a criminal, and some even silently praised his wartime accomplishments, while the rest only looked at him with mockery, as if they were watching a clown.
In his mind, not even the Imperial Family could embarrass him since he belonged to the Azure Royal Family, so the fact that a mere commoner dared to make fun of him was more than he could handle. Enjoy new chapters from
