"This is unfair!"
"We didn't deserve such treatment…"
"The King and the Queen were being deceived by those bastards, obviously!"
The Forgery Brothers were drowning their laments and frustrations in a dark bar which was mostly empty at this hour of the day, as most of the people of the city were watching2 the competition.
They felt frustration and anger for things they didn't even deserve to get and were incapable enough to never realize the wrongs of their acts. Even less that the only bad thing that has happened to them so far was just being reprimanded for their subpar work.
If they simply tried working harder and surpass others through effort and cooperation instead of trying to make it big by spending little, then perhaps they could truly become recognized crafters in the city.
