"Did I say it wasn't?"
Theoden casually interrupted Newcastle, then looked at the speechless Campbell people and continued in the tone of someone who had been through it all.
"I just mean to say the royal family shouldn't meddle in this matter. Since this is a Campbell product, you should promote it using Campbell methods."
"Campbell methods?" Newcastle still looked bewildered.
Wasn't this very item in his hands a Campbell method?
"Do I need to be clearer? Go set up a firefighting company." The King's tone had a barely noticeable hint of mockery. "If your item is as useful as you claim, the citizens and guilds will naturally purchase your service."
A burst of laughter came from below the Audience Hall, as if appreciating the humor of Your Majesty.
The heir of the Devalu family indeed, with just one remark he left the cunning Campbell people speechless, truly satisfying!
