Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 1156

Sebastian asked with a smile, "Well then, Mr. Greymoor, how exactly would you like me to explain myself?"

Lucian let out a cold chuckle. "Even if you are the Supreme Lord, you can't just bully others without reason. Destroying my palace is no small matter, and you owe me an explanation."

Sebastian replied as he smiled, "The king has already granted Aruna City to me as my territory, which means the Greymoor Estate is now under my ownership. In other words, I just demolished my own property. Does that satisfy you?"

Lucian's fists clenched instinctively before he forced himself to relax, plastering a fake smile across his face.

"Supreme Lord, you must be joking. For generations, our family has defended Aruna City. In other words, the city belongs to the Greymoors, which is my family."

Sebastian's smile turned icy. "Lucian, I don't have much patience. I'll give you five minutes to think this through. If you don't hand over Aruna City, I'll have to resort to special measures."

"You're so bold! I would like to see what special measures you're talking about!"

Sebastian turned to see a pair of young nobles approaching. The man exuded confidence, and the woman carried herself with undeniable poise.

"Who are you?" Sebastian asked while looking at them.

The man stepped forward and said with arrogance, "Listen. I'm Merrick Greymoor, heir to the Greymoor family."

The woman followed suit and said, "I'm Lenora Greymoor, the second daughter of the Greymoors."

Lucian made a show of reprimanding them, saying, "Merrick, Lenora, mind your manners."

He turned back to Sebastian and said, "These are my children. I've spoiled them since they were young, so they can be a bit… blunt. I hope you'll forgive them, Supreme Lord."

With a smile, Sebastian responded, "One minute down. Four to go."

The smile dropped from Lucian's face, replaced by a flicker of icy resolve.

Merrick was furious. "You dare threaten my father on our own land? You've got some nerve."

Lenora said coldly, "Sebastian, let me warn you, Aruna City belongs to our family. Don't think you can waltz in here and throw your Supreme Lord title around. Whoever here has to do as we say!"

"Ms. Lloyd, you must be joking. Our family has always been loyal to the crown. However, if anyone tries to oppress us, we simply won't stand for it," Lucian said with a brimming smile.

Aruna City wasn't an official fief of the Greymoor family, but they had ruled it as de facto monarchs for a thousand years, thanks to their formidable power.

The city's prosperity had made the Greymoors wealthy beyond measure, allowing them to maintain an army of elite warriors with top-notch equipment.

Back when the Evolet Kingdom still held power, even they had to tread carefully around the Greymoor family.

The kingdom feared their immense strength, so much so that the Greymoors were allowed to rule Aruna City as their own private dominion.

In truth, though Aruna City was technically part of the Evolet Kingdom, it functioned as an independent stronghold. The royal family had little to no control over it.

Now, with the Evolet Kingdom crushed and annexed by the Windwalker Kingdom, Aruna City had officially pledged allegiance to the kingdom, but only in name. In reality, the Greymoors still held complete control.

Merrick and Lenora Greymoor sneered. Their expressions were filled with disdain, making it clear that they held no regard for Sebastian.
