Despite Fredrinn's humiliating gesture, William composed himself.
He returned to his chair.
He cleared his throat with a slight cough, his face once again adorned with that professional and self-assured expression.
Father Andreas sat silently beside him, observing their surroundings with calm yet piercing eyes.
"Lord Fredrinn, I will get straight to the point without beating around the bush," William said, his voice formal and cold.
"As you know, a particularly valuable and private property belonging to the Second Prince, Charles, has disappeared due to an unfortunate incident that occurred in your territory."
He paused, waiting a moment to gauge Fredrinn's reaction.
"This situation has not pleased Prince Charles in the slightest."
"He was expecting an explanation from you regarding this matter and information about his lost property."
"But the only response he received to his letters was silence."
