The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Chapter 73)
It was as if all the nobles in the city had entered a social season this month. From the first day of the month, carriages and horses came and went incessantly. Bejeweled carriages and the emblems representing various noble families shuttled through the city from time to time, making many citizens who were already afraid to go out because of the cold weather even more hesitant to wander around.
Some nobles, however, were quite pleased with themselves, and ostentatiously declared that this was their dignity as nobles, and that ordinary people dared not look them in the eye.
“These lowly commoners should stay away from us, lest they soil our shoes.”
Baron Albert's family is the most high-profile among them.
He had a beautiful daughter in the prime of her life, and Albert, while proud of his 'aristocratic prestige,' constantly extended invitations to other nobles to balls in his daughter's name.
All the prominent figures in the city received invitations, except for two: the city lord Harris and the newly appointed baron Nings.
Albert made outrageous statements to the public, making no attempt to conceal his aversion to the new baron.
"It's just a title bought for ten thousand gold coins. Does he really think he can stand on equal footing with us truly noble bloodlines?"
“Saving Harris is nothing. Harris is just a marginal figure who is not valued by the family. Which of us has a title that we won through the wars of the kingdom? We are of truly noble blood.”
“Harris should not have granted him the barony directly. This is a challenge to our truly noble nobles, and he deserves to be punished.”
He boasted about it extensively, while constantly ordering people to buy all the charcoal and other warming supplies in the city. He planned to spend all of these supplies on the banquet at that time, which showed his wealth.
Harris wasn't angry that he didn't receive an invitation, but after learning about it, he was so angry that he almost wanted to pick up his greatsword and rush over to chop off the damned nobleman's head.
"Damn it, I finally got the shops in town to prepare all the winter supplies and even kept the prices under control, and this damn guy bought them all?"
Harris was furious and questioned his subordinates.
"Why was he able to buy such a large quantity of warm clothing at once? Didn't I tell everyone not to hoard these supplies?!"
The subordinate who replied was also helpless, "You gave the order, but Albert is a nobleman, and he can't refuse if he really wants to buy those people."
"Boom!"
Harris's iron fist smashed a deep dent into the table, and he was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Damn it!"
Apart from him, Lance and the others who hadn't received an invitation were unaware of Albert's status as a nobleman. However, Albert was so arrogant that he wanted the whole city to know and spread the news everywhere.
"Does this guy have a grudge against us?"
Song Ning's first reaction upon hearing this was to pull her hand away from Lance's well-defined abs, sit up, and try to concentrate for a few seconds before looking at Lance uncertainly.
"Could it be that you have a grudge against him?"
Lance was half-reclining with his back against two cushions, his collar wide open, with a suspicious mark on it.
He shook his head, but he knew what was going on.
"Ignore him, he's just a clown. These nobles will only know who the real winners are when the potion officially goes on sale."
