Austin sat in his chair and silently watched the royal advisors put on their pretentious act. He slowly sipped his tea as if he couldn’t be bothered by their so-called accusations.

His nonchalant demeanor made Langdon and the others frown. Their once-outrageous voices began to falter.

They had stormed in full of righteous fury earlier, only to be met with complete apathy. What was the point of arguing when he wasn’t even listening?

“Are you done?” Austin finally spoke once the room had quieted down. “If not, go ahead and keep talking. Say as much as you need to until you’re satisfied.”

“Your Highness, we’re here to discuss serious matters. Your dismissive attitude is truly disappointing,” Langdon said sharply.

“Serious matters?” Austin let out a short laugh.

He went on, “You barge in here without even understanding the full picture and spewing accusations like they’re facts. As far as I’m concerned, you’re no different from clowns putting on a show.”

“You… How dare you!” Langdon was visibly enraged.

His expression darkened. “The prince personally appointed us as royal advisors, so we have the authority to challenge injustice. Your abuse of power and persecution of loyal officials is unacceptable-both morally and legally. We have every right to protest.”

“That’s right. We demand justice for Sir Prescott,” the royal advisors echoed.
