Chapter 386 Explain Yourself



His voice trailed off after saying this, as if he was waiting for me to say something.

I just calmly looked at him and said, "And?"

Scar was taken aback when he heard this.

He just looked at me with that shocked and confused look on my face.

I took advantage of this to say, "Are you saying that the kingdom is trying to take my private property away from me? Not to mention, private property that I have in another kingdom? Who knows what would happen if they were taken from me."

Scar revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.

He shook his head and said, "Of course not, how could I be saying that?"

I said with a smile, "That's good because I don't know what I would do if you were implying that."

Scar just looked away with an awkward look on his face after I said this.

But in the end, I did help him out of this hole that he dug for himself by saying, "Of course, if the kingdom was willing to buy the ores that I mined from these mines, then I would be grateful."

Scar was once again surprised when he heard this, but then he said with a serious look, "The price?"

I calmly said, "Same price."

Scar looked a bit awkward when he heard this before saying, "Can't you give us a little discount? Since we are all friends and comrades here, you can cut the price a bit, can't you?"

I shook my head before saying, "You should know that since I'm running a mine as an outsider, it actually costs more for me to mine these ores. The price that I'm already giving you is considered a discount."

Scar looked like he thought otherwise, but this was something that he didn't have any information on.

Even Shaka shook his head to show that he didn't know.

This had all been left to Haley by me, so Shaka hadn't actually gotten any information on this.

Scar turned back to look at me with narrowed eyes, almost as if he was trying to put pressure on me.

But I just calmly looked back into those eyes without a single care.

The two of us just stared at each other in silence for a bit before Scar finally said with a sigh, "Fine, we'll use the same price as before."

I gave a nod, but deep down I had let out a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't for Haley already expecting this, I really might not have known what to do.

But luckily she had predicted this and told me everything.

Since that was settled, there was nothing else left for us to discuss.

Everything else would be settled later when we reached the capital since we still needed to talk to the king about this.

After that, we went out to have lunch that Rose prepared.

Since we had arrived in the morning, there was still plenty of time to show our guests around our town.

The dwarves didn't seem that interested other than Elsa who actually wanted to learn more about humans. But since she was the leader of their group, they had no choice but to follow her around.

After an uneventful day, we settled in for the night.

But that was where my real problems started.

Rose brought me into a room alone, she didn't even bring Haley and Cecilia with her.

I had thought that it was for 'that', but it turned out that it wasn't.

After we arrived in this room, she immediately had me sit down before she stood there with her arms crossed in front of me.

She was glaring at me like I had done something wrong.

With the way that she glared at me, I knew that she must know something…but I didn't know what she knew.

I didn't know what she was angry about, so that made it hard to apologize.

All I could do was wait for her to tell me while hanging my head down.

After a long silence, Rose finally said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

I shivered when I heard this.

This was the worst thing that she could ask me since I really had no idea why she had called me here at all.

Anything that I said would have the chance of hurting her and making things worse. But if I didn't say a thing, she would also be angry because I chose to remain silent.

So in truth, there was no right answer here…

But the longer that I stalled, the worse that it would get for me.

In the end, I chose the path that would be less painful.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know."

Rose narrowed her eyes to look at me before coming forward towards me.

She leaned in and put her hands on the armrests of the chair, pushing me back with her face until she was right up in front of me.

She looked right into my eyes like this for a few seconds before suddenly saying, "I heard something quite interesting from the others. I heard that you had a forging duel in the Dwarven Kingdom."

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

I had many forging duels when I was in the Dwarven Kingdom, but I didn't know which one she was talking about.

Rose saw the confused look on my face and calmly said, "I heard that there was a specific duel where you bet something very dangerous."

I trembled when I heard this.

I finally knew what she was talking about.

It was the same reason why Haley and the others had been angry with me back in the Dwarven Kingdom.

She was referring to the duel with Drogath where I had bet my head.

Seeing this look on my face, Rose said with a scary smile, "Would you care to explain yourself?"
