"I know nothing," Charlie said rigidly, "all I can tell you is the aforementioned facts. Please investigate immediately."
Alandia shook her head, "I refuse this commission."
The Crown Prince's eyes widened in disbelief, and he stood frozen in place. Alandia did not even glance at him as she said aloud, "Mr. Gongsun, please show Prince Charlie out."
Gongsun Ce clapped his hands, walked up beside the Crown Prince, and extended his right arm courteously, "After you, Your Highness."
Finally, Charlie came to his senses, his face contorted with an offended anger as he shouted like an ancient slave master scolding his servants, "You refuse?! Alandia Helison, do you know who you are speaking to?! I am the Crown Prince of the Empire, the Duke ruling over Lunster, Mangster, and Mist, the future heir to the Throne of King Morton, protected by Holy King Morton—Lunster Mangster Mist Charlie Morton!"
