"WHATTTT!!!"
The furious roar shook the lavish room, rattling the glassware on the nearby table. Marquis Reynard, his face twisted in rage, slammed his heavy fist against the ornate armrest of his seat.
"The people we sent to kidnap Princess Ellyna... they failed!!?"
The butler bowed deeply, his voice smooth and unwavering.
"Yes, my lord. Due to that incident, Princess Ellyna is now heavily guarded."
He paused slightly before continuing.
"And according to our informant, the black-haired human was seen in the capital city before, having a... 'date' with Princess Ellyna in the capital city."
The marquis's eyes bulged with fury, veins throbbing at his temple.
"HOW DARE THAT HUMAN TOUCH MY ELLYNA! SHE WAS MINE!!!"
He leapt to his feet, pacing back and forth like a wild beast in a cage.
The butler remained bow, unfazed.
"My lord, please calm yourself."
He spoke with the precision of someone accustomed to his master's tantrums.
