Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1309

Everyone there, including Diane and Sheila, were jumping for joy. They were extremely happy. Severin was the only one with a frown. He did not seem the slightest bit excited.

Zeke could see that Severin reacted a little differently to the news. He frowned and asked, "Why don't you look too happy?"

Severin smiled awkwardly and explained, "I just find it a little odd. Why would the king invite just me when I'm of the same rank as the other thirty-five governors? It's not out-of-place for you and the other province governors to be invited, but I'm on a very different level compared to the two of you. My status isn't the same as yours, so you can't blame me for feeling a little puzzled when you told me that I was invited."

Zeke laughed. "Haha, is that what you're worried about? Well, you don't need to get yourself in a twist. You were the most recently-appointed county governor, so he's a little curious about you and wishes to meet you. He heard that you're an alchemist too, so you can imagine his curiosity toward you. That's the reason he invited you. He simply wants to get to know you."

"He wants to meet you because he's curious about you. You don't have to be so suspicious." Diane rolled her eyes at him. "You should be happy that you got the chance to meet the king."
