Chapter 229: Arguing
"Wow, then you say that you are so full of pride that you can’t even see the advantage of what I am offering you?" Aleksander said through gritted teeth.
The burning sensation had now spread into Aleksander’s entire torso. It was not something he would say was tolerable, but he must save his face no matter what. He was never the type to show his emotions, especially when he knew it was going to embarrass him.
"What advantage would gold and other material things could ever bring us?" Queen Euphemia said, "our kingdom is already rich."
The vampire king only rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, convince yourself that."
"It is the truth, vampire," Sir Noa insisted as he pushed the young Eastern Queen backwards. "The Eastern Kingdom has sustained itself for so long because we are naturally gifted by the earth. Unlike your barren land which still needs slaves to cultivate whatever scrappy soil you have, ours need not to be."
The young king’s brows shot upwards. His golden eyes glanced at the Eastern Queen behind her trusted adviser and soon enough, Aleksander’s laughter started to rise in the air.
The volume of his laughs turned louder, echoing inside the large chamber where he and his wife were taken hostage. Queen Euphemia and Sir Noa watched him as his sarcastic laughter continued to reverberate around them.
"HA HA HA HA HA!" Aleksander cried while he laughed maniacally. "Dear goodness, he doesn’t know!"
Sir Noa was visibly taken aback by what the vampire king commented upon.
He was sure that Aleksander wasn’t pertaining to anyone else in the room, as aside from him, Sir Noa was the only man who was present. But why did he say such a thing?
Was there something that he was missing?
