Capítulo 346: A Royal Interrogation

Darf raked a hand down his disillusioned face. "I see… And where did the legendary beast appear? To the north or central border?"

"Do accept my direct request?" 

"... First, tell me the other reason behind my requested involvement."

"You continue to refuse nobility, which means your status remains far below everyone present. Quit your tomfoolery! Either accept the king's good graces or stop wasting our time and do as ordered!" 

"You've said more than enough, Earl Konreyd," the king grumbled through a harsh smile.
