After hearing those words, Annaliese made an annoyed expression at that man. 'And why would I go out talking about it? Do you guys think I'm desperate?'
"Tsk!"
Lothur heard the sound Annaliese's tongue made and just took one of her hands, directing her into the estate's interior as they followed a guard.
The man who had said those words to them had exaggerated his fears, but this young man understood where that was coming from.
He would also avoid dealing with the Frost family if he were in their place!
The Christen family was a rising bourgeoisie that did not yet have deep relations with the nobility or even royalty of Leopoldine. Thus, they did not have many protections and depended on their reputation to do business with the different parties in the empire's political game.
If they were seen as allies of the Frost family, they could lose many of their partners and eventually be forced to do business only with the house of Annaliese.
