Chapter 78

"When I finally locate him, and he is safe, I'm going to leave him tied up while I go through each and every one of his carefully edited and embellished stories. That brat. For one, he didn't almost get into a very stupid fight. He picked a very stupid fight with Lord Emra-Illar, though then he was the heir and did not yet hold the title. But his family is one of the most powerful in the country, and the man has a temper like a cat has fur. He was always a bastard, but he's smart and knows how to hold his own in a fight. Most people, when he angers them, ignore him. Symaia was ridiculously drunk and decided to punch him."

"Oh, my Goddess. He punched the Marquis of Field-of-Gold?"
