As we passed through this town, there were some nobles that suggested that they clear out a space so that the fourth prince could make a speech in front of their citizens.
Of course, that would also include showing off me, who was sitting in the cage.
They wanted to bring down my prestige as much as they could and to make sure that everyone knew that I had fallen this far.
They wanted to kick me when I was down.
It was clear that the nobles in this town were not on my side.
It was clear that these were nobles that disliked me, whether it was for personal or professional reasons.
But that was the reason why the fourth prince chose to bring me here in the first place.
He wanted to show my predicament off to these nobles to help sell our cover. At the same time, he wanted to make preparations for when we took down these nobles since this plan was also targeting them.
