Lord Parker already knew the answer he was going to receive from his officer regarding the arrival of his reinforcements.
He had read and re read all the sent letters many times over just during the past week, to the point he had basically memorized all of them.
However, that knowledge did hardly anything to soothe his frustration.
Then, feeling that officer was too much of a small fry to pick on, Lord Parker instead turned to lash out at Lord Macht,
"Why is father taking so long? Why are not the men here? Did you explain our predicament properly? What exactly did you write in that letter? Could he have misunderstood you?"
Lord Macht felt properly incensed hearing this.
The way Lord Parker put it, it was very easy to construe the things as him taking a dig at Lord Macht's impoverished background, mocking him as a man who could not write.
