"I am sure there are plenty of people that would be happy to speak with you. Please go bother them."
The Scarlet King's smile did not vanish, and just as he was about to speak again, two people got near him. They were a couple formed by an envoy of the Hell Clan envoy and a young Atrox woman.
"Kain, you seem to have found someone that tolerates you. Allow me to introduce my good friend, Marin."
The one who spoke was Simur, the member of the Hell Clan who rebuked the Scarlet King when this one forcefully opened the doors to the dining table. A mocking smile could be seen on his face as he moved his eyes between the Scarlet King and the young Atrox woman while presenting his partner.
"So this is the rude person you were talking about. Well, I guess someone like that is fitting for a crippled."
Marin's voice was loud, and everybody heard her. The way she looked at the woman with the book made it clear this was not their first interaction.
