"Mr. Parada, you become a lot older than the last time I saw you" An old man with long white hair and an outwardly frail physique said.
(Head of the Mages of Lionar Kingdom, he became way stronger since the last time I saw him) Fray thought before saying,
",'Mr. Alexander. how are you? Are you okay ?"
"Haha, I'm a hundred and thirty years old, how can be okay?" Alexander said with a smile on his face. "Tell me, how is that old Adam, is he still alive?"
"He's fine so far, Sir Alexander," replied Fray, looking at the old man.
Thus, the guests continued to introduce themselves with respect and smile on their faces revealing that all the characters present here are very important figures in Lionar kingdom as each one of them has the power to move the kingdom with just one word from their mouths.
"Mr. Parada, welcome. I don't know if you already know, but I'm the head judge of Lionar's Supreme Court," said the last man, who was a little fat man, with an indifferent voice.
"Hello," Fray said in the same calm voice, looking at the fat man with a cold face after sensing some aggression coming from the person's actions.
The fat man ignored the cold look on Fray's face and said, "I heard that one of the High Court judges insulted you on the night of the Royal Party, I apologize."
"It's okay," Fray said in a cold voice before ignoring the fat man's presence and looking at the beautiful woman who looked like she was in her thirties.
The fat man didn't notice Fray's disrespectful behavior but decided to just ignore him and go back to his seat.
As for the remaining woman, after seeing Fray's look, without changing her dead expression. She said, "Mr. Parada. My name is Hajar. It is really an honor to finally meet you."
(So she doesn't want to declare her position in the kingdom, Alright that's fine. She would have lied anyway if she tried.) thought Fray, before saying, "The honor is mine, Lady. Hajar."
Alexander, Foran, Hajar. These are three of the most powerful personalities in the Lionar kingdom, not only with their authority and influence but even with their strength. They are all in the eighth kingdom. It is said that Alexander had only recently fought with the first rank in the Black List, nicknamed the Ruthless Spear, who was a warrior from The ninth kingdom face to face.
Thus, after being welcomed by the remaining princesses, everyone sat around a medium-sized table with many desserts. If not for the knights standing behind each one of the guests with fierce features, this would easily look like a peaceful family dinner.
After Fray sat down, Rokia stood behind him with an anxious expression on her face, as this is the first time she attends such events and she is very nervous. In fact, there are very few events when knights are allowed to be with enter with their Masters, but when there is a chance to bring them, their main task is to show their strength and authority to present their master in a good look, but Rokia is not a fierce or threatening person, she is very shy and she really doesn't think she can make these powerful guests fear or respect her
(Well, The master told me it's not important, let's just focus on the task that the master gave me) Rokia thought, trying to control her muttered expression.
In fact, Rokia was not wrong. All of the knights present here despised the head of the Parada family and his weak knight, especially the muscular guard standing behind the First Princess Noelle, who was already furious at the fact that his lady had to wait for such a weak guest, and in addition to that he didn't show her even a little respect or appreciation for her efforts.
"Mr. Parada, I heard that Iskar City has developed a lot lately. It seems that you have struggled a lot to achieve this. Congratulations," Alexander said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I heard that too. It seems that Iskar city has managed to overcome the food shortage. This is truly a great achievement, Mr. Parada," she said.<novelnext></novelnext>
"Thank you. It's actually all thanks to the Parada family members," Fray replied.
"Haha, it's not surprising the parada family really has so many talented characters." Foran laughed hard before saying in a strong voice.
Thus, while Casper and Luke on the other side were preparing themselves to enter the mansion, Fray was stuck in useless conversations with these people who were trying hard to extract any useful information from Fray to no avail. Until suddenly the hall door openeveryone turned to look in the door to find Zina, the third princess standing there, wearing a luxurious white dress.
(What is this? It's a bit strange) Iman thought with a complicated expression as she looked at Zina's face
(That look, that style, it's similar to her style at the time) Noelle thought with an unhappy look as she looked at the cold expression on Zina's face and her confident manner, that look in her eyes was the same look Zina was looking at her with, at that time, the look that made Noelle feel inferior and depressed her entire life.
(That...) Elia thought to me, with a nervous face
"…" Fray on the other hand also looked at Zina expressionlessly, impossible to know what exactly he was thinking.
Under the looks of everyone, Zina entered the hall, raising her head high with a confident expression, then without saying anything, she headed towards one of the chairs, which was still empty, and sat quietly.
"Zina, I didn't know that you were going to join the dinner," said Noelle, trying hard to keep her calm after seeing Zina's expression.
"And why did you think that?" Zina asked in an emotionless voice, looking at Noelle with a cold expression.
(That confident expression... This is interesting) Foran thought, with a smile on his face.
(This b***h, how dare you insult the young Princess) thought the knight standing behind Noel, close to exploding.
The cold voice, dead eyes, and confident attitude all made Noelle and the rest of the princesses very angry, even the knights who were behind them found it hard to keep their calm.
"Zina, try to stay respectful, this dinner is important," Iman said in a quiet voice, looking at Zina
"I think it's you who should be respectful, sister," said Zina in a cold voice, then looked at Noelle and said in a confident voice, "I'm here to take back my position as the heiress of the throne."
"..." Noelle, her knight the guests, and all opened their eyes in shock, unable to believe what they heard.
"..." Fray
