Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 284

Tasir, momentarily surprised by Ranamun’s words, raised an eyebrow and then burst into laughter.

“Chancellor?”

It was as if he’d just heard an amusing tale.

Though the remark was enough to offend, Ranamun didn’t so much as blink.

He even looked perfectly calm, as if what he’d just requested was the most natural and justified thing in the world—so convincingly composed that anyone susceptible to his influence would likely nod and think, ‘Of course. Lord Ranamun should obviously be chancellor.’

But Tasir wasn’t the type to simply go along with things.

“Yes.”

Ranamun repeated firmly, as though it were completely self-evident, and Hielan, Tasir’s attendant, cursed inwardly. He’s really trying to fleece us.

Tasir’s mere support would already be valuable, yet Ranamun was demanding payment even for that.

Hielan mentally repeated like a mantra: If I show weakness in front of Karun, it won’t help Lord Tasir at all.
