Bab 277: Merits are not Enough!

The Elder's eyes widened and he looked irate,

"Don't use such crass words before the princess and do watch your tone. As for what I am doing here, that is none of your business."

Tanya sighed, 

"Calm down Elder, I am sure he meant no disrespect" she said.

Hal smiled inwardly, 

'Oh, I definitely meant a lot of disrespect."

The Elder humphed and looked away from Hal who never stopped smiling at least until Tanya looked him in the eye and frowned, 

"You meant no disrespect right?" She asked in a tone that while still mild, borderline menacing.

Hal composed himself, 

"Of course not" he said with a straight face.

The tall and Muscular man retreated out of the room and returned soon after followed by a waitress that served drinks before walking back out.
