Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 1321

"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 three commanders 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!"

Sheila 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 slapping Sami in the face.

Steward was not too happy to see Severin and the others. Severin was the last person he wanted to meet, which was understandable given the humiliation that they suffered at his hands. He had come 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 what 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 three commanders. 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 accept 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 glanced 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?"
