Chapter 402 Real villain

Elsa gave a slow shake of her head before saying, "No, no, it's not a problem at all. I understand that these things happen."

Of course, even if she wanted to say something, it wasn't as if she could say it here with everyone watching.

So the mood quickly returned to normal with that.

I couldn't help thinking that the king really was sly, making this kind of move here.

It was like killing two birds with one stone with the way that he handled this.

First, he was able to show a good side to the dwarves, allowing them to become more friendly.

Second, he was able to show how important I was to the entire court.

After all, the other side was a marquis while I was only a count, but the king didn't hesitate to strip that person of his title and throw him in the dungeon waiting to be executed for me.

This was more than enough to convince everyone of how important I was to the king.

In the future, there would be few people that would dare to mess with me.

After all, messing with me meant the possibility of offending the king and no one dared to take that risk.

So that meant that after the king left to attend to other things, we were pretty much left alone since no one dared to take this risk.

That was except for the true villain.

Since this was a banquet that was hosted by the king, naturally the princes were also invited.

The other princes all went for the other dwarves, it was only the fourth prince who came over to see me and Elsa.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Count Zwein, will you introduce me to your friend here?"

When I saw the fourth prince come over with that smile on his face, there was only one thing on my mind.

Here was the true villain.

He was much better than Timothy, that halfwit villain.

He had been biding and waiting for his chance to strike and now he had found that chance.

He came over and put his arm around me before I could even react.

Even if I wanted to throw it off, I couldn't do so in the end.

Not to mention, I had already said that I would become the fourth prince's friend. If I were to back down on this promise now, there was no knowing what he would do.

While others didn't know how terrifying the fourth prince was, I was well aware.

So I had no choice but to say with a smile, "Elsa, this is my friend Noah, the fourth prince of this kingdom."

The fourth prince reached a hand forward and said, "A friend of my friend is also my friend."

Elsa looked at this hand for a bit before slowly reaching out to take it.

The fourth prince didn't do anything rude and just simply gave her a handshake before letting go.

I had no idea what the fourth prince wanted, but there was no way that it was just as simple as being introduced to Elsa.

He definitely had something that he wanted from me or her…

But during our conversation, it didn't seem like he wanted anything from either of us.

All we talked about were some simple things that didn't seem to matter.

And then the fourth prince prepared to leave as if he had other matters to take care of.

During all of this, he didn't make a single comment that showed his true intention.

That was until he was walking away.

I had been in the middle of letting out a secret sigh of relief when the fourth prince suddenly turned around and said, "Oh right, Sir Zwein. If possible, can you make some time for me tomorrow. There's something that I want to discuss with you in private."

I couldn't help revealing a surprised look when I heard this.

I had been completely caught off guard since I had thought that he was already leaving, so my mind wasn't turning fast enough to think of a proper excuse.

This was the act of a true villain, he was always two steps ahead of his opponent so that they wouldn't be able to do a single thing.

It was no wonder the fourth prince was able to gather all that power in the game…

Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, the fourth prince said with a smile, "There's no need for you to worry about anything, I will send a messenger to you tomorrow to pick you up. I just hope that you will not reject my request."

As he said this, the smile on his face remained, but the smile in his eyes disappeared.

It was almost as if he was implying something…

So I had no choice but to say with a smile, "It would be an honour, your highness. I will make sure that I have the time for you tomorrow."

The fourth prince gave a nod before saying, "Very good, I will see you then."

With that, he walked off without turning back once.

As I watched him walk away, all I could do was reveal a bitter smile.

A true villain was always different from a two bit villain.

His plans were much deeper and much harder to resist.

After he was gone, Elsa couldn't help saying, "That man isn't simple. Are you sure that you want to be his friend?"

I shook my head with a bitter smile before giving a shrug and saying, "What other choice do I have? You've seen how he acts if you don't give him what he wants."

Elsa turned back in the direction that the fourth prince left in before slowly giving a nod.
