Chapter 400 Who do you think you are? (1)
Both of us were caught off guard when we heard this and we turned to see a young man standing there.
This young man was clearly the son of some noble with the way that he was dressed.
Not to mention that this was a special banquet held to welcome the dwarven ambassadors, so unless he had some kind of status, he wouldn't have been invited to this banquet in the first place.
But if he wasn't a fool, then he wouldn't have called me out like this.
Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, the young noble came forward and said, "I asked you, what do you think you're doing? Do you know what this place is?"
I couldn't help revealing a faint smile when I heard him say this.
After all, he just sounded like a typical little villain with the way that he was speaking.
He sounded like someone that would be taught a lesson right away and would lose everything that he held dear because of a mistake.
It was just too much like the small villains that I had read about before.
But the young man mistook the smile that appeared on my face.
"What are you smiling at? Do you really think that you're that special?" The young man's face twisted a bit in anger as he said this.
I just raised my hands in an innocent manner and said, "This friend, I'm not trying to cause any trouble."
"Trouble?" The young man gave a snort when he heard this before giving a cold chuckle, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think that you're even worthy of that word?"
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this.
At this point, it was clear that this young man was trying to pick a fight with me.
But why would he do that?
I didn't know who this young man even was, so there shouldn't have been a reason for him to pick a fight with me like this.
However, his actions that came after made it clear why he was doing this.
He just ignored me as I was trying to figure out what was happening and came over to Elsa sitting there with a concerned look.
He gave a slight bow before saying, "Young miss, you don't have to worry anymore. I'll take care of this scoundrel bothering you."
As he said this, he also peeked at Elsa with eyes that held a bit of lust.
When he made it this obvious, it was impossible to miss.
He was just using me as an excuse to approach Elsa and get closer to her. At the same time, it was clear that he wanted more than just a casual relationship with her.
This young noble most likely thought that he was being so clever sacrificing this person that he didn't recognize…but he never would have thought that he would kick a steel plate…
After all, I had a status that was second to none at this banquet.
If it was anywhere else, I wouldn't have this status, but here I was invincible.
Elsa pulled herself away from this young man and completely ignored him even though he was clearly coming onto her.
The young man didn't seem to notice this at all as he reached his hand towards her.
But before he could reach her, I came forward and grabbed his hand.
The moment that this young man saw this, his face twisted in anger once again as he glared at me.
It was clear that he was very unhappy with me for ruining his good thing.
He immediately flicked my hand away and pointed at me as he said, "Who do you think you are? Acting this way at the royal banquet? And even trying to force this lady to go with you? Do you even have anyone in your eyes anymore?"
As he said this, he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around us could hear what he was saying.
It seemed that he wanted to use the opinion of the public to crush me.
As he had wanted, the attention of the nobles around us were attracted because of his loud voice.
They all turned to see what the commotion was, but when they saw who was in the center of the commotion…
They all revealed bitter smiles and looks of sympathy.
The young man saw that everyone was looking in our direction and it seemed like they were focused on this matter, so he didn't hold back as he continued to slander me.
"At a banquet held by his majesty, you're even trying to have your way with our guests of honour. Do you feel no shame?"
The young man said in a self righteous voice as if he was the hero in this situation.
He also turned back to Elsa and said, "Young miss, please don't worry about a thing. I will take care of this ruffian for you."
Then in a more smooth voice, he said, "If you don't mind, how about we have some dinner at a later date?" While saying this, he turned his face as if he was trying to show off the good side of his face.
But when Elsa saw this, all she could do was reveal a look like she was looking at a fool.
But then again, this young man was nothing more than a fool as he fooled himself into thinking that this was just her way of acting shy.
He thought that to make that final push, he would need to show off a bit more.
So he reached for his sword and pulled it out to point it in my face before saying, "For tarnishing the honour of this young miss, I challenge you to a duel. Do you dare accept, you coward?"
He had a smug look on his face as he said this.
It was as if he could already see things going his way.
