Chapter 225: Meeting After A Decade
"Northern Star is a private property of Jerome Brunton," Arthur said gritting his teeth.
How brazen of them to casually suggest that the fruits of Jerome’s hard work is the Nation’s property?
"It might have been. But the moment Jerome decided to collude with the Royal family of our enemies-"
"Enemies? Rosandale and Esteria are trying to create a new trade partnership and talks of peace agreements are going on between the two nations. I thought it was old news. Or is Lord Brenner too busy to watch news? I heard Talia had a hand in it too, you know... My father is the President and my brother is the Foreign Affairs Minister and all, so I know some stuff." Arthur said with a smug smirk and watched Lord Brenner grit his teeth.
Arthur’s haughty attitude made the Lords very angry and they all ganged up on Arthur and started to swear at him. Arthur who was standing until this time, dragged a chair, in fact he had to pry it away from the hands of an aide brought by Lord Clairmont and sat cross legged in front of them.
"With all of you like this... I wonder what the transcripts from a hundred and eleven years ago when my ancestor was stripped off the titles would look like," he mumbled inaudibly.
Did his ancestor really go against the Esterian Kingdom? Or was that everyone ganged up on him out of jealousy and the Brunton family stood down because of the feud? Anything is possible. What could be believed anymore?
The fire in the fireplace was burning spreading a nice aroma. He felt a slightly medicinal aroma along with the scent of seasoned hickory.
Is that eucalyptus?
He felt like the temperature inside this place was a little warmer and his eyes turned towards the King. He looked pale and seemed to be cold.
How sick is he?
