"I have to say that—as a person from a town—how you're treating us is seriously concerning," Patte said. His words were diplomatic—he did receive proper training as a child—but the way his face was twitching indicated he wanted to rip off someone's face.
It wasn't obvious considering how Patte let go of all decorum in villages and just did what he wanted but, as a town prince, he did have a 'proper' side to him—which was especially useful when he went to stronger towns with his father.

"We haven't broken any rules. On the contrary, we were even wronged," Patte repeated with gritted teeth. He was really using a life's worth of patience by not talking with fists.
