His face darkened slightly before he smiled at him and said,
"I think you're overthinking it. I just came here today to discuss something with you."
The elf heard Charles's words, but there was no ripple in his heart, only his eyes looked at Charles emotionlessly.
He casually replied,
"We don't know each other. If you want to discuss something with me, it's possible I might not agree."
Upon hearing the elf's words, Charles initially paused. The man who had been standing quietly behind him suddenly became furious upon hearing the elf's words and immediately stood up.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you contradict Lord Charles! Lord Charles speaking to you is a sign of respect, so don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
Prince Charles listened with a smile as the man behind him finished. Then, he apologized to the elf,
"Sorry, my subordinate is a bit undisciplined."
