Lilia stood to the side, her back bowed. As she ranked beneath Toby, she dared not straighten up until he allowed her to do so. This was the rule.
In the quiet atmosphere, Toby observed Lilia without uttering a word. Due to the prolonged time spent bending her back, she felt an unbearable pain. Her cheeks gradually turned red, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
The sight tempted many, but no one dared to intervene due to Toby's status.
Only Rocco, dressed in a black robe while standing next to the prince, looked at Lilia's pained expression with a frown. However, before he could persuade Toby, Matthew spoke up from across them. "Your Highness, why are you giving a woman such a hard time?"
From their first meeting, Matthew had already seen through Toby's style—arrogant, ruthless, and wanton. He had originally intended to show the prince some respect. Regardless of any private grudges between them, it was an unspoken rule in society to make each other look good in public. However, it seemed that the prince wouldn't appreciate his gesture.
"A woman?" Toby sneered. "She's just a servant of the royal family. If she doesn't understand the rules, she naturally needs to be punished."
The implication of his words was that this was a matter within their royal family, and outsiders should not interfere.
However, he seemed to have forgotten where he was.
Faced with the prince's threatening gaze, Matthew stared back coldly, showing no fear. "Your Highness, everyone here is a guest of the banquet. At my banquet, everyone is equal. There is no distinction between servants and masters! If you want to flaunt your noble status as a prince, please return to Montiria, where you can do so. At my banquet in Seraphis, I advise you to drop your haughty attitude."
Due to the matter of General Weaver, Toby had a strong dislike for Matthew. He had come here to cause trouble, and Matthew was well aware of this. Therefore, there was no courtesy in their words.
