Chapter 38: The Invitation

"Sir Clifton, please announce the issues that need to be discussed in today's gathering," Sir Hanns motioned for Sir Clifton to open the meeting.

Sir Clifton was also a renowned Knight and Sir Hanns' closest vassal. Unlike Sir Hanns, who was a Duke himself, Sir Clifton did not hold any lord titles. He was a close relative to Marquess Beaufort. Because he held promising abilities as an official and as a Knight, Sir Hanns decided to keep him close. At a point, they became friends too.

Sir Clifton coughed a little before starting, "The first issue of concern is the return of the exiled Prince Ryan Alexander von Rokav -"

"He is no longer a Prince of Rokav, no need to address him so spectacularly," the Duke snapped.

Sir Clifton waited for him to calm down before continuing, "The return of Hades has raised the alarm on Palace security. It no longer needs to be kept a secret that her Highness the Princess Rhea Amelia von Rokav was attacked by him with intentions of murder".
