Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 1308

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't come 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 overcome 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 glanced 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 to come 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 would come." 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 glanced 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 relatives."

Zeke chuckled. "Usually it's just the commanders and the war gods that get invited. Province governors like us, less so. Of course, the king might occasionally invite us depending on His 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 occasion, 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.
