"C-Can't we just ignore them and k-k-keep going?" Miina wondered, even though it was a bit late with Rudolf already leaping to get involved, "They can't be th-that important."

Or maybe they were? Nobility had too many names and it just made everything needlessly complicated. Besides, their importance when you [i]didn't[/i] need something that they had decided was theirs – or only listened to them, like an army, she supposed – was entirely overstated; the worst that could happen if you ignored them was that they would get annoying. Maybe try to arrest you, but that was easy to provoke even without dealing with nobles.

It was certainly no reason to waste their time on the road getting involved in an argument.
