Upon hearing Lia's words, Kasanna's expression immediately darkened and became more serious, her brows visibly furrowing as she coldly stared at her.
Are you threatening me?
Lia resumed her smiling expression.
"Threat? No, no, no."
"This is a statement, Mrs. Kasanna."
She looked at Lady Kasanna's somber expression, which seemed to carry an air of indifference.
Seeing Lia's expression, Lady Kasanna clenched her fists, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
The female guard beside her sensed Lady Kasanna's chill, and her body gradually swelled up, an extremely powerful aura transforming into a river that surged outwards.
The surrounding air seemed to tremble under the extremely terrifying aura.
"Stop, Elsa."
Lady Kasanna knew very well that if her guards attacked Lia, it would mean that the Leather family and the Clavenna family had completely broken off relations.
And this is Clavina's territory.
If a fight really broke out, Kasanna knew she wouldn't gain anything.
Although she was surrounded by many knights, Kasanna knew that these knights were not there to help her.
Even if they were, their combat strength was too low to be of any use.
As a member of the royal family, Kasanna knew better than anyone else.
The Royal Knights are only for controlling ordinary people.
Moreover...
Lady Kasanna's gaze fell on Lia's gloves.
She narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowed.
She could sense that there seemed to be a tremendous power hidden within the glove.
Like a sleeping beast, its powerful pulse beats continuously.
However, after the demon incident in the capital, Kasanna no longer wanted to lose her second son.
She crossed her arms and tapped her fingers incessantly on her shoulders.
"What will it take to get my son released?"
Lia smiled faintly in return.
But her smile was like a sharp knife.
Waiting for the perfect moment to pierce the other's heart.
"Five hundred million Geelys".
"Varied……"
"One hundred sets of monster armor made from Mosteri skeletons, along with matching Mosteri horns and sword blades specially crafted from molten iron from Mount Vesuvius."
"How about it?"
Mosteris are extremely ferocious and rare monsters that can appear anywhere in the world.
This is why Mosteli possesses extremely strong physical abilities.
As a result, adventurers or armies will find it extremely difficult to eliminate these monsters.
Moreover, they have no so-called settlements.
Today, perhaps a Mosteri will appear in the jungles outside the Empire.
And tomorrow, they may appear on the plains and riverbanks hundreds of miles away.
These monsters are notoriously difficult to track down, meaning that a search must be conducted in every corner of the world to find this extremely cunning and powerful creature.
One hundred sets of Mosteri armor means one hundred materials dropped by Mosteri.
The Raiser family's extermination teams might not encounter this monster even ten times a year.
And the molten iron from Mount Vesuvius....
Kasanna was taken aback when she heard the name of the material.
This molten iron needs to be extracted from the most dangerous areas inside the volcano.
Moreover, this requires the volcano to erupt lava to extract such natural molten iron from the iron ore inside.
Mount Vesuvius, however, has long been an extinct volcano.
This material, in theory, should be impossible to find.
but……
When news broke some time ago that Mount Vesuvius was about to erupt, the Raiser family's mining team discovered a portion of molten iron ore inside the deepest part of the volcano.
It seems that the high temperature inside the volcano lasted for many days, which deliberately created a new molten iron ore deposit inside.
But... how did the Clevner family know that they had unearthed those iron ore deposits?
Suddenly, Lady Kasanna's expression froze.
Those sharp blades that can be made from molten iron ore.
Exactly one hundred sets, no more, no less.
And Lia happened to say that number.
Is it a coincidence?
wrong.
The person who almost triggered the volcano was Victor.
A sense of being plotted against loomed over Kasanna, casting a shadow over her.
She bit her lip and said somewhat reluctantly.
"Aren't you going a bit too far?"
"You need to understand, this is kidnapping!"
Although Kasanna was not involved in the family's business, anyone could understand the value of these things.
These are incredibly expensive.
"Mrs. Kasanna, please do not forget the grudges between your family and our family."
Lia crossed her arms and spoke calmly.
“Even if it was a crime, it was Jess Reiser who first sent people to attack the Clavner territory.”
"Moreover, they deliberately captured demi-humans and lured elves abroad, and are suspected of imprisoning employees of our Clavner family."
"These crimes are probably enough to send your son to the gallows twice, aren't they?"
Leah listed Jess's crimes one by one, leaving Cassandra somewhat silent.
She knew that no matter what she said now, as long as Jess was still in their hands, they would be able to find countless reasons to justify it.
Just then, Lia pulled out a broken pistol from her waist.
Although the barrel was bent so much that its shape was almost unrecognizable.
The knights were filled with curiosity and stretched out their arms to peer forward.
