The emissary continued, "Those who signed it had no right to make such decisions!"
"Mr. Envoy, I'm not interested in Blande's internal affairs. I don't care if it was signed by your senate, your king, or your baker. It was officially stamped. Anything beyond that is none of my business."
He continues, "Before Blande raises any objection, perhaps you should check your internal affairs first. Having an official seal fall into the hands of a non-government entity is a serious security breach."
The words hit like a slap. The envoy's face flushed red with anger.
Bain presses on, showing no mercy. He never intended to spare the envoy with a shred of dignity.
"It makes me wonder… who's truly in control in Blande? Is it the government? Or just a group of rich men with enough coin to buy decisions like cheap trinkets?"
Bain stopped and stood directly in front of the envoy. "Blande is welcome to file a formal complaint with Bideford, though I doubt you'll do it."
