Life After Prison

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?”
Severin’s brows furrowed even more severely when he heard. that. He could not help but ask, “I thought the king invited me
because one of you four mentioned something about me to him. I guess there’s more to this than I first thought.”
Horace smiled and said, “What else is there to this? It’s just a birthday celebration. And besides, with your strength, there’s

practically nothing for you to be afraid of.”
Severin nodded. “That’s true. Being strong enough allows me
to fear nothing.”
They soon came to the palace entrance. Once they were inside. the palace grounds, Zeke gave a brief overview of the palace to
everyone. “That mansion up ahead is the palace. These
residences here are mainly for him and his women, while those over there are for his children. Even though today’s banquet is
held to celebrate Prince Philip’s birthday, the venue will be in the main palace.”
Severin nodded attentively. Zeke soon led the group to the palace proper.
As soon as they arrived near the entrance, they heard the person in charge of recording the gifts announce, “Skydra Province’s
governor, Mister Seymour Enderby, has arrived with his family to celebrate the eldest prince’s birthday. They have generously
given thirty second–grade high–rank spiritual herbs and twenty third–grade low–rank spiritual herbs!”
The people on Seymour’s side had already arrived and presented their gifts.

Zeke’s mouth twitched when he heard the announcement. He then said with a wry smile, “That’s very generous of Seymour.
Thank goodness I prepared my gift in advance. If I had given you all the third–grade low–rank spiritual herbs, I might be in

for a bit of embarrassment today.”
Severin merely smiled in response and did not comment on that. He glanced over his shoulder and saw yet another familiar
figure. “Ah, Mister Steward and his daughter are here too.”
