“You know Steward?” Both Horace and Zeke could not help but feel a little surprised when they heard


    that. It went without saying that the threemanders were much higher in status than any of them. It


    was understandably surprising to them that Severin would be acquainted with such a person.


    Severin then answered with an odd expression, “I’ve met them


    before!”


    She snickered from behind. She knew Severin only said that


    as a show of courtesy to Steward. There was no doubt that


    Steward and Sami would be extremely humiliated if Severin told the whole truth about defeating


    Steward and pping


    Sami in the face.


    Steward was not too happy to see Severin and the others.


    Severin was thest person he wanted to meet, which was understandable given the humiliation that


    they suffered at his


    hands. He hade to terms with it after some time because


    he realized that his daughter had grown less arrogant. He was happy with how things turned out


    because she had matured as


    a person and learned to keep a low profile ever since whatContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    happened.


    That being said, they were still very surprised to meet Severin. there. Sami could only smile awkwardly


    when she saw that


    Severin was around.


    Steward gestured politely and said, “Did the king invite you as


    well, Mister Severin?”


    Severin smiled faintly and said to the other party, “Are you implying that I shouldn’t have been invited?”


    Steward was startled by that and was afraid that Severin might


    take it out on him. Knowing that he was not Severin’s


    opponent, it would be incredibly embarrassing if Severin.


    caused trouble with him.


    He hurriedly waved his hands and said, “No, that’s not what I


    meant at all! I just heard that the king invited the war gods, the


    province governors, and the threemanders. I didn’t expect the county governors would be invited


    too! This celebration will probably be much livelier than I expected.”


    Severin smiled and said, “Just a tiny correction: I was the only


    one out of the thirty–six county governors that were invited.”


    Steward’s expression was a little unnatural. In the end, he could only muster an awkward smile as he


    said, “The king. probably invited you because he knows that you’re an outstanding individual.”


    “Perhaps so.” Severin smiled. “But that’s not important. I am obliged to show courtesy and ept his


    invitation.”


    Steward secretly chastised him, ‘You’d probably be dead if you don’t show any courtesy to the king.‘


    Even though he was


    cursing Severin’s arrogance deep down, he continued to smile. as he said, “It’s almost time, everyone.


    We should head in soon.


    “You’re right. We should!” Zeke nodded. He was a little puzzled by their exchange though. He seemed


    to have the feeling that Severin was not afraid of Steward at all, but the other way around. Steward


    seemed to be holding back a little when speaking with Severin.


    Just as Severin was about to walk away, he nced at Sami and asked, “How have you been, Miss


    Sami? Do you listen to your father more now? I suppose you’re learning to behave yourself more


    now?”
