Severin frowned slightly and remarked in an unsure tone, “Perhaps they will. But even though the
governors of the nine provinces generally don’t have a lot of contact or interactions with the four war
gods, they will feel obliged to keep up appearances and attend if the province governors invited them.”
“Doesn’t that mean you can meet four apprentices again?” Megan covered her mouth and giggled.
Severin said with a wry smile, “You need to keep a low profile for me when we’re out, Megan. Don’t just
mention so casually that the war gods are my apprentices. They are the war gods, after all. They are
concerned about the public repercussions. Besides, I’m their master, so I can’t be bothering them all
the time, and I can’t expect them to help me whenever I encounter any trouble. They’re busy people.”
Megan nodded. “I get it now. If you run into trouble that even you can’t handle, then they wouldn’t be
able to handle it either!”
“We should get going. Our first order of business is to choose a hotel and have some lunch. A four-day-
three-night stay should be enough. We’ll rest tomorrow, attend the birthday the day after, and then go
back home the day after the birthday.”
Severin made the arrangements as he thought to himself.
“Hehe, we’ll go with your n then. The scenery during our drive for the past two days was really
beautiful, and I enjoyed being on the road.” Megan said with a chuckle. She then remembered
something and said, But we didn’t spend that much time going shopping, so I’m thinking of doing so
after lunch.”
Severin was appalled and could not help but say, “Wow, you sure are energetic. Don’t you feel tired at
all after spending half a day on the road? I’m surprised that you even thought of shopping as soon as
we arrived.”
Megan rolled her eyes at Severin. “That’s because you only allowed us to stay here for three days! I
could spend more time shopping if we stay a bit longer.”
Severin smiled bitterly and said, “There are many forces here, and the situation isplicated. There
are plenty of people who will be attending the banquet, chiefly among them are the four county
governors, and many others people from the bigger cities. The province governors will be there too.”
“They will?!” Felicia’s eyes lit up and she was immediately reminded of something. She then said to
Megan, “You should dress a little prettier than usual when we attend the birthday banquet. Better yet,
go. for something a little sexier!”

Megan immediately frowned and asked, “Why should I? Am I not pretty enough already?”
Felicia immediately said, “You don’t know anything, Megan. It’s not just those from city mansions that
will be attending the banquet. They are probably other powerful people from big cities that are qualified
to attend too. I’m sure there are plenty of other county mansions or province mansions who will be
there, and it would be best If you can catch the eye of their young men.”
Megan was speechless for a moment and she could not help but pout as she asked, “What are you
talking about, Mom? Didn’t I already tell you that I already like someone? You don’t have to be so
concerned about me!”
“There’s someone you like?” Diane was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked curiously, “Who is
it, Megan? Do you have a boyfriend? Tell me! I want to know if I know him.”
Megan smiled awkwardly. “I don’t have a boyfriend yet, Diane. I just like him. I don’t know whether he
likes me though, so I’ll tell you only if I manage to win his heart. Don’t worry about me, okay?”
“But we have to worry about you!” Felicia said immediately. “You’re my daughter! I’ll have you know that
your standards must be at least that of a mayor’s son. It’d be even better if he was the son of a county
governor or a province governor! Try to avoid some of the young men from ordinary upper-tier families.
You’re a beautiful woman, and you need to be with a partner who is equal in status.”
