It was only when he stopped his thoughts from getting wild that he noticed something was wrong.
His question had gone unanswered.
No one flinched. No one reacted when he asked about the people's taxes.
This is strange…
Are these officials looking down on me now?!
The thought immediately angered him. The Second Prince rose from his seat and conjured a large fireball in his hand.
"What is this? Are you all ignoring me?!"
He hurled the fireball into the center of the gathered officials. Normally, seeing a fire that large would cause panic. But everyone simply stood there with their heads lowered.
No one even looked at the flames that quietly burned across the ground.
"Guards!"
A bad feeling crept over him. The Second Prince rose from his seat and called for his five powerful bodyguards to protect him.
