Just thinking about the assembled power made Alden's skin crawl. He was incredibly thankful that the Elf King didn't seem to want a fight right now.
Otherwise, the streets of his city would definitely be running red with blood today.
Renjiro finally answered, his voice still calm, "I heard there were some greedy human nobles in this city who thought they could capture some of my people. So, I came to see for myself exactly who was so... bold."
When they heard that… The looks on several nobles standing behind City Lord Alden changed in a heartbeat. Right then, Renjiro's sharp eyes swept over them.
'Remember their faces,' he thought to himself. 'When payback day comes, none of these people, or their families, will get away.'
City Lord Alden quickly blurted out, "Your Majesty! There must be a misunderstanding! No human noble here would ever dare go against the elves! If any did, I swear I'll find them myself and hand them right over to you!"
