"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question."
A gentle smile lingered on Jing's lips as he asked in a puzzled, bewildered tone, "Didn't we come to observe the ceremony at Your Majesty's invitation?"
"A mere crown prince's position hardly warrants the personal attendance of a High Legendary such as yourself."
Dunn turned to Jing and said coldly, "Much less bringing so many other Legendaries along."
"Heh heh..."
Kel'Thuzad suddenly gave a low, chilling chuckle. Once he had drawn Dunn's and Jing's attention, he slowly spoke.
"What does Your Eminence Dunn think we're here for, then?"
The moment Kel'Thuzad spoke, a chilling atmosphere spread.
"What you two intend to do is none of my business."
Dunn's voice also sank. "But this is my territory. If you two intend to 'misbehave,' don't blame me for showing you no courtesy."
At those words, the gentle smile that had lingered on Jing's lips froze.
Kel'Thuzad's already cold, stiff face visibly darkened as well!
Dunn's words were laden with warning, but a mere warning was nothing that two powerful, high-ranking High Legendaries would take to heart.
What had gotten under their skin was Dunn's choice of words.
"Misbehave" was a word generally used to describe children, yet Dunn had used it to warn them.
The implication was that he placed himself above them both!
That was what had made it so hard for them to keep their composure!
In their eyes, someone not even a hundred years old, who had become a Demigod by riding the advantages of the era, was little different from a newborn infant.
Yet now he was treating them with such contempt.
In their thousands of years of life, they had scarcely encountered anyone so arrogant.
For a moment, the atmosphere throughout the Main Viewing Stand grew tense.
