Arrogance… that was what they saw in Frey.
The man had actually dared to say those words out loud in front of Seira, the leader of the entire empire.
Everyone looked at Seira, expecting her to get angry, but nothing happened.
She remained calm, even smiling as if she found his words amusing.
"Are you satisfied with my answer?" Nolan asked, glancing at the young minister.
"I-I… am satisfied," the minister replied sheepishly. "Thank you, Mr. Frey."
After the minister stepped back, the throne room fell silent once more. Several ministers who had previously wanted to stir up trouble and humiliate Seira immediately held back.
They realized that Nolan was a ruthless man who was not to be underestimated. Instead of embarrassing Seira, they would only end up humiliating themselves.
Seira chuckled softly and sat up straight.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frey. I hope my minister didn't offend you."
Nolan simply smiled and waved his hand casually.
"It's all right, Your Majesty."
