Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1320

Severin had a rather contrived expression when he recalled Horace mentioning numerous times that he had a beautiful granddaughter whom he wished he could marry off to Severin. Severin started to wonder if Horace specifically arranged for Wendy to become her bodyguard for that reason.

Horace immediately smiled and said, "Yes! I just didn't tell you! Haha! She has plenty to gain from being around you. She told me that she was already a level nine warrior king, and that it wouldn't take long before she had a breakthrough to warrior emperor if she ate one of your pills! Haha!"

Lillie came over with a grin and said to Severin, "Before we set off from South Link City, Wendy told her grandpa to save two spots so we could attend the banquet too. After all, each invitation comes with a quota of five people."

Severin was speechless. He could only smile wryly and say, "Guess I'm the only one kept in the dark then. You two planned this from the very beginning!"

"It's not just you," Sheila said blankly. "Both Diane and I had no idea about this either."

Felicia then said embarrassedly, "Oh, Wendy… why didn't you tell me that you were the Mister Horace's granddaughter? You have such a noble status! I always had to rely on you to protect me, and I even requested your help to carry stuff whenever I went shopping. How could I let you do all that labor for me? I almost can't bring myself to face you."

Wendy said with a smile, "There's no point in revealing this to all of you. I'm your family's bodyguard, after all, and I volunteered for this position. My grandfather says that he's a super powerful person, so I was curious to know what kind of person he is. Lillie and I are super close too, so I made sure she came with me."

"Yeah," Lillie agreed. "Our identities aren't important. Mister Severin is very strong, and we've received countless benefits from him in return for serving him. We respect him and we are happy to dedicate ourselves to him."

"Haha, let's take the conversation inside, shall we?" Horace laughed. He then asked Severin, "I wonder why you're the only county governor that the king invited. I found it a little strange when Wendy told me about it." Horace then paused in thought before asking, "Is it possible that he specifically invited you because he knows about your strength?"
