Lord Grant glared at Lord Thoman, who merely smiled happily without a trace of fear, "Don't say that I'm lying, I was there," Thoman stated with a wide spread smirk.
"You lost to Lord Stanley shortly after he became an adept, and he promised not to mention your humiliating defeat so long as you entered the alliance," Thoman revealed the events with a hearty laugh.
The other lords and ladies all snickered at the revelation, as Grant glared at Thoman hatefully, Thoman merely shrugged, "Lord Stanley promised not to mention anything, I made no such promise," said Thoman.
Unlike House Ventrano House Maxim was one of House Kurt's first allies, Lord Thoman grew up with Rupid Kurt as a close friend, so he happily gave his allegiance to his friend when he brought up his plan to unify the region.
As the others were busy sniggering at Lord Grant for his defeat against a newly advanced adept, a loud snapping sound snapped everyone back to attention.
