"what?!"
"Mr. Pierre, you mean those damned nobles are also eyeing the recovery potion?!"
Just as Lance was relaying the message to the mercenaries under the alias 'Pierre,' the nobles of Lionheart City had already clashed with them in the first wave of conflict.
The incident began on the day of the official opening. Albert learned that several nobles had accepted Baron Nings' invitation and began to exert pressure on them within the noble circles.
"It's unbelievable that there are still people who can't see that this so-called baron is a cunning, lowly, and despicable commoner. No amount of gold can make him have the same noble blood as us. We should unite and resist such a person."
'If anyone did not attend my beautiful Alice's ball, it must be because they chose to associate with these lowly, despicable people; such self-degrading individuals are unworthy of being called nobles.'
Upon hearing this, several minor nobles immediately returned their invitations and hurriedly began making amends to attend the ball.
Albert was very pleased when he found out, but on the day of the ball, he still showed no mercy and turned away the gifts from those minor nobles, and even kept them outside, not letting anyone in.
Some people advised him, "These are nobles just like us. Isn't it a bad idea to keep them all out?"
Albert, however, held his head high and said disdainfully, "There are differences between nobles. At most, they are just minor viscounts. As a marquis, why should I care about them?"
"That guy is actually a marquis?"
Upon learning this, Song Ning couldn't help but complain, "It's outrageous! How could such a brainless guy so easily obtain the title of marquis?"
The existence of nobles is sometimes really unfair to commoners.
Lance: "Marquis isn't the highest rank. If you care, we can try to get a duke's position."
Song Ning refused, saying, "The title is just to make things easier for us. There's no need for anything else. Besides, it cost 10,000 gold coins to get a baron. Wouldn't it cost even more to get a duke? That would be too much of a loss."
The so-called titles, aside from being used to throw balls with these guys, consisted of rights he looked down upon, such as maintaining a private army and buying and selling slaves.
"But since he's already targeting us like this, it's time to take action."
"it is good."
Soon, at a ball specially hosted by Albert, his daughter Alice attended in full regalia, and her stunning beauty quickly became the talk of the town.
Many nobles coveted Alice's beauty and were naturally willing to join Albert in insulting the newly promoted baron.
Until the recovery medicine came into the public eye, it was no longer hidden.
Lionheart City was immediately thrown into an uproar. Countless commoners reacted even faster than the nobles, rushing in to beg for the medicine. Then, unable to hide their joy, they took an exquisite bottle and rushed home.
Albert and the other nobles had heard about it, and after their initial shock, they all showed disdain and ridicule, not believing the 'rumor' at all.
Albert himself arrogantly declared, "As expected of a country bumpkin who's never seen anything like this. Real recovery potions are incredibly rare and precious. One gold coin? Ha! If a gold coin could really buy a recovery potion, then I'd be His Holiness the Pope!"
