Two days in the dungeon for the cook with dry bread and stale water because he ruined your introduction, good Sir. I also promise to question those guards you mentioned if that brings you satisfaction. Perhaps we can make a fresh start to our acquaintance from this moment on. Are we in agreement?"
He offers his hand in appeasement. This conclusion seems very unfair and fishy to you, but you have risked your life often enough for this day. Reluctantly you force yourself to agree to this spectacle before any more of Lord Alexedrik's subjects have to suffer under their master's unpredictable mood swings.
"Ah...certainly, Mylord! I apologize for the demeaning remark about the Goblin. It was out of place indeed. I didn't know that carrots can have such a devastating influence on relationships, Sire!" Lord Alexedrik is of course very happy to hear your words.
"Yees, yes, one never ceases to learn new things in Goblin's Pike, we never run out of valuable surprises such as this one. Not only do carrots take possession of your stomach when they are overcooked, they also mess around wirth your spirit! I learned this from a book about ancient Goblin teachings in the library just yesterday!"
