357 She’s my woman
I narrowed my eyes seeing this and I couldn't stop myself as I moved forward.
I knew that acting here might cause some tension with the dwarves, but I couldn't call myself a man if I didn't stop the injustice happening in front of me.
So before Drogath could send out that slap, I had already grabbed that hand.
As soon as he felt someone grabbing his arm, Drogath immediately turned around.
There was a trace of surprise that appeared in his eyes when he saw that it was me, but then he narrowed his eyes to look at me again.
He looked like he was about to say something, but I knew that I couldn't let him take the flow.
So I saId, "I'm sure that we've all had a few too many drinks, but there's no need to act this way."
Then my eyes turned sharp as I said in a cold voice, "Please don't do something that you'll regret."
Drogath was taken aback when he heard this and his eyes couldn't help trembling a bit when he heard this.
But then he still said with a snort, "Human, do you know what you are doing?"
This time, he didn't even bother hiding the disdain that was in his voice.
I narrowed my eyes when I heard this, but I didn't back down as I said, "It doesn't matter what I'm doing. All that matters now is whether you will stop or not."
Drogath suddenly broke out in laughter when he heard this which made me very confused.
I just looked at him with one brow raised as I waited to see what he had to say.
After laughing for a bit, he finally said, "She's my woman, my property. I can do whatever I want with her."
I knitted my brows as I had an idea of what he was implying, but I didn't want to acknowledge it since it would put me in a worse position.
So instead I said, "I didn't know that the Dwarven Kingdom had slaves. I thought that it was illegal to do such a thing here, but now you're telling me that's not the case?"
It was indeed illegal to have slaves in the Dwarven Kingdom unlike in the human kingdoms.
Anyone who was found owning slaves would be severely punished.
Drogath didn't even bat an eye when he heard this.
He just gave a chuckle before saying, "Look at how barbaric you humans are. The first thing that you think of is that she's a slave."
He turned around and grabbed her by the chin, pulling her in.
As he did, the female dwarf didn't resist at all…the look on her face almost made it seem that she was used to such a thing…
Drogath pulled her in and said, "She's my wife, my property. So whatever I want to do with her, I can do. I don't need an outsider to tell me how to treat my wife."
After saying this, he looked at me with a smug smile.
It was almost as if he was daring me to do something to him.
I couldn't help clenching my fist after hearing what he had said, but I didn't step forward in the end.
The female dwarf looked at me with an understanding look which just made it all the more worse.
For the first time in my life, I actually wanted to kill someone.
This piece of sh*t really wasn't worth keeping alive.
It was just too bad that I couldn't do a thing to him since we were in the Dwarven Kingdom.
The way that he looked at me with that smug look on his face, it was clear that he was trying to provoke me.
But it wasn't me that dealt with this racist dwarf in the end.
"Is that so? I never heard such a thing when the two of you got married." A powerful voice suddenly rang out through the hall.
When this voice rang out, everyone immediately turned in that direction.
As they had expected, it was the Dwarven King and the look on his face…wasn't good.
Seeing the Dwarven King walking over, Drogath revealed an ugly expression.
He had sent his people to hold back the Dwarven King while he antagonized this human, but he never expected the Dwarven King to come by so quickly.
Just what were they doing?
Drogath gave a cough to calm down before saying, "Your majesty, I was just having a chat with this human."
The Dwarven King narrowed his eyes to look at him before saying, "Is that so?"
Then he turned to look at the hand that was still at the female dwarf's throat and said, "Then are you planning on letting go yet?"
Drogath was caught off guard by this question, but he did let go in the end.
Though there was an unwilling look on his face since he didn't want to listen…but he had no choice since the other side was the Dwarven King.
After letting go, he said, "Your majesty, this is a matter between me and the human. I hope that you will not interfere."
The Dwarven King gave a snort before saying, "The human is my guest, so doesn't that concern me? Or do you not care enough to give me face and do whatever you want in my place?"
Drogath was once again caught off guard since he never thought that the Dwarven King would defend the human like this.
So this put him in an awkward position.
Even if he did have some influence among the dwarves, that didn't mean that he would be able to do anything to the Dwarven King.
So with a cough, he said, "Your majesty, I have some other business to attend to. I hope that I will be able to see you again soon."
The Dwarven King just gave a simple nod without saying anything.
Drogath turned to the female dwarf and said in a sharp voice, "Get moving! We're leaving!"
Though she had her head down, she still followed him out of the banquet hall.
As they walked out, she couldn't help turning back to give one last look to me before following him out.
When I saw the look of gratitude and apology in her eyes, I couldn't help feeling that I had let her down…
Eventually, someone is going to give up.
