Zeke was already thinking about how he could try and get on Severin’s good side. He would benefit


    greatly if Severin


    gleefully gave him a third–grade pill.


    Severin chuckled. “You didn’te here just to ask about my progress in alchemy, did you?”


    Zeke waved his hands and said, “No, no. Of course not!” He then paused for a moment before saying,


    “I’m here because I have some good news to tell you.”


    “Good news?” Severin was stunned for a moment but was soon ovee with joy. He had asked Zeke


    and the others to ask around about the other halls, so his first thought was that Zeke had already


    received some news from them. Severin nced eagerly at Zeke, hoping that his first guess was right.


    The Shanahans looked eagerly at Zeke too. They were all curious to know what sort of good news they


    would receive. It had to be something very important, or else someone of Zeke’s status would not have


    had toe over in person.


    Zeke smiled and said, “Prince Philip, the eldest prince, will be having his birthday a few days from now.


    His father, the king, has invited several people of note to the celebration. Among them are the three


    commanders, the four war gods, and the nine province governors. He prepared an invitation card for


    you.”


    “It’s amazing to hear that the King invited Severin to a banquet!” Maurice, was overjoyed when he


    heard that. The king’s gesture brought pride to their family.


    “Our family is improving by the day. I never dreamed that a day like this woulde.” Catherine was


    more excited than


    anyone. Her eyes were red and she was on the verge of tears.


    However, Severin did not look very happy and was frowning

    instead.


    He nced at Zeke and asked, “I was invited? Has the king ever


    invited other county governors to his children’s previous birthday banquets? Wouldn’t there be a lot of


    people then? I’m sure the county governors have a lot of rtives.”


    Zeke chuckled. “Usually it’s just themanders and the war gods that get invited. Province governors


    like us, less so. Of course, the king might asionally invite us depending on Hist Majesty’s mood. The


    county governors were never invited. before, as far as I recall.”


    Zeke then paused for a moment before continuing, “On this asion, you’re the only county governor


    out of the thirty–six that was invited. How do you feel? Doesn’t it make you feel proud? This shows that


    the king values very much.”


    “That’s great news, Severin! You are the only one out of thirty- six counties that were invited by the


    king! This is a true honor!


    The rest of the county governors will feel as though they’re a step below you if they find out!”


    George, Stanley, and the rest of the family were all smiling.


    The invitation was undoubtedly cause for celebration in the Shanahans‘ opinion.
