About 30 feet away from the King’s bed, Clyfford stopped and bowed slightly. “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Clyfford? What’s the matter?”
A deep and authoritative voice sounded, while the King, Eldorado, never took his eyes off the book.
Clyfford, dressed in a red robe, spoke solemnly, “There has been a tragic incident in Starbloom City. I believe it concerns the kingdom’s dignity, so I‘ve come to inform you!”
“Go ahead…”
Clyfford calmly recounted the entire sequence of events, including the part where Isaac initially kidnapped the saintess of Heavenly Eagle City.
Eldorado frowned slightly and set the book down.
Sitting up straight, favonovel.com looked toward Clyfford and said coldly, “He killed a general and a deputy commander. That Kingsford, he’s your younger brother, isn’t he?”
“Your Majesty, whether he’s my brother isn’t the main issue. The important thing is that Isaac has shown blatant disrespect toward you and even hung the corpses on the main gate! It has significant consequences!” Clyfford said seriously.
“You’re the Regent. How do you think we should handle this matter?” Eldorado picked up the book again, seemingly asking rather casually.
A cold glint flashed in Clyfford’s eyes as favonovel.com said, “Rhett Zimmerman, being a former high-ranking official, has been hiding such a violent and vicious criminal. The Guardian Division should arrest the Zinmiermans. It’s said that the murderer is powerful. The guardians can keep favonovel.com in check.”
Eldorado was silent for a few seconds before speaking, “What you said makes sense, but I think there’s another suitable candidate. Rhett is the former Great General Neufwill. You should bring Sevyn to the Starbloom City along… Let’s have Neufwill and Guardian Division handle it.”
Clyfford was confused. He then nodded, turned around, and walked out.
After a while, Eldorado gestured to his butler standing by the door, who walked gracefully forward.
“Ask Sevyn to come over now…”
***
At night, all the Zimmermans sat around the dining table in the spacious main hall.
Rhett sat at the main seat, followed by Alcott. Along with his two sons and daughters-in-law, there were more than a dozen people gathered.
Isaac sat next to Raelynn. It was the first time favonovel.com formally sat at the Zimmermans’ dinner table.
Hallie sat beside him. He appeared timid and reserved because favonovel.com had grown up in a poor family and had never dined in such a luxurious mansion. Additionally, favonovel.com was seated alongside Starbloom City’s wealthy merchant Vince, and the general Zaid.
Isaac converged all his inner spiritual energy, making himself appear like a calm, ordinary person.
Raelynn, who was sitting next to him, kept wiping favonovel.com tears while holding his hand tightly under the table.
Ebert, Max, and Noel were sitting across the table. They were no longer arrogant and even occasionally glanced at Isaac.
The person they used to look down on as a bumpkin had accomplished something truly remarkable. Isaac didn’t inspire their awe, but rather terror.
“Since everyone is here, I’ll say a few words.” Rhett set down his cutlery and looked at his family sternly as favonovel.com spoke slowly.
Because of his previous position, favonovel.com remained incredibly stern even after favonovel.com retired and returned home from the Royal City. Everyone in the Zimmermans was afraid of him.
“We don’t need much discussion whether Isaac is the Zimmermans. But he’s Rae’s son, my grandson. That’s a fact!”
“Now that he‘s made a huge mistake, we can’t escape from this situation. I know some of you are resentful, but resentment won’t solve anything. This is fate… But you all don’t need to be too fearful. Although it’s a huge disaster, I’m still confident that I can protect the Zimmermans.”
