A middle-aged man entered the throne room with his wife. He was well-respected among nobles, and his reputation was once at its peak in the past due to the influence of his family, including his daughter.
Yes, this man was none other than Evelyn’s father, William Lavender. Besides him stood his wife, coming from another marquis family, Ellia Crestine.
Normally, they would be summoned here because sothing big had happened. This big thing should be good news.
However, the atmosphere of the throne room was weird. It was strangely suffocating. People directed their gazes at them as though they were judging them. Whispers caused their bodies to tense up.
More importantly, the Commander of the Summoner Division, Mattheus, was standing next to the pri minister.
Unlike other divisions, the Summoner Division had a special right that allowed them to bypass all the necessary ranks and report directly to the king. Even the pri minister had to lower his head in an ergency.
That was why Mattheus rarely attended this kind of event. Yet, Mattheus was not only attending this summons, but he also stood next to the pri minister, showing that the matter had forced him to co with a status similar to or even surpassing that of a pri minister.
In other words, the reason for this summons must be concern about the fate of their nation.
"William Lavender greets Your Majesty." William went to his knees along with his wife.
"It looks like everyone has arrived." The king stood up, not letting William and his wife rise. He turned to Mattheus and asked, "Have I done this appropriately, Commander Mattheus? However, don’t forget that you are currently using your special right. If this is not a matter concerning our nation, I’m going to punish you accordingly."
Only the king, the pri minister, and several nobles knew about this. When Mattheus returned, he didn’t report anything to them. Instead, he just requested that they should summon as many nobles as possible, especially Marquis Lavender. Only after it had been achieved would he report this matter.
Mattheus nodded and walked down the platform before turning around and kneeling before the king.
"I would like to report everything I have seen as well as the conclusions I’ve made from the incident related to the Divine Hand.
"I’m sure that all the people here have been aware of the crisis we experienced yesterday. Thanks to the information from the Azilia Kingdom, we have managed to pass that crisis without any real impact."
The king squinted his eyes. "Indeed. I have to thank the Summoner Division for managing that problem."
"However, there’s one problem. In my previous report, I stated that they’re being assisted by another force."
"Do you an the organization that has been backing that unique summoner?" The king squinted his eyes. "If I’m not wrong, you have ntioned a single na, who is most likely the leader. Her na is... Evelyn Lavender..."
The king suddenly looked down, noticing sothing weird.
"!!!" The people were shocked. They had never thought the genius they were once proud of was still alive.
During their reaction, several people couldn’t help but utter her na. Yet, they experienced the sa thing.
The most noticeable reaction ca, obviously, from William Lavender and Ellia Crestine.
"What? My daughter? Why haven’t I been told about this? If my daughter is still alive, you should have told ." William gritted his teeth, glaring at Mattheus.
"Mattheus..." The king squinted his eyes, demanding an explanation for what had happened earlier.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Please allow to explain." Mattheus nodded. He started his explanation by turning to William. "Marquis. If I may ask, what’s your daughter’s na?"
"Huh? Why are you asking such a foolish question? Everyone here knows her na already." William gritted his teeth.
"I am not asking you. I’m ordering you. State the na of your daughter now!" Mattheus glared at him, pressing him to do as he instructed.
Although reluctant, he answered, "Evelyn Lavender—!"
His expression turned to shock when he noticed sothing was wrong.
"It looks like you have noticed it as well." Mattheus narrowed his eyes.
"What’s going on, Mattheus?" The king’s expression turned grim.
"To be honest, everything is just speculation right now. First, I will explain the whole story first." Mattheus raised one finger. "Once I had received the words regarding her na, I, too, had called her na several tis. At that ti, it felt normal.
"Well, I didn’t expect that Evelyn Lavender was alive this whole ti, so, with my judgnt, I proceeded to let Vice Commander Roodie take action in this country on my behalf. anwhile, I headed straight to help Evelyn Lavender, who had been working together with Nathan.
"They had figured out the enemy’s location and proceeded to eliminate their enemy.
"Although I couldn’t examine the battlefield imdiately, I noticed that their groups had at least 3 arcane level summoners and two grandmasters, as well as Evelyn Lavender, a world class summoner, as their leader."
"What? A world class summoner?"
"She has beco a world class summoner?"
The people couldn’t contain their shock. Evelyn was only 26 years old, so she was currently the youngest world class summoner in the world.
Mattheus nodded and continued, "She has indeed beco a world class summoner. Her subordinates are quite famous as well. Of course, she has her childhood friend with her.
"I’m assuming all of you already know about her best friend, Isabella Slavina from the Slavina family. They might be gone now, but Isabella herself is one of the arcane level summoners I ntioned previously.
"Next to her is soone who was once known as a rcenary king whose talent was said to rival the Dragon King... If I’m not mistaken, he is the forr captain of the Blue Destroyer Group, the Lightning Berserker Revon Damstar."
"What?" Mattheus kept dropping one bomb after another, making it hard for the people to swallow everything.
"But the enemy couldn’t be underestimated either." Mattheus shook his head helplessly. "It looked like the enemy had 1 world class summoner, 4 arcane level summoners, and several grandmasters. Most of their people were summoners as well... according to the information extracted by Nathan."
"Equal number... Who’s dead? Don’t tell ..." The pri minister took a step forward in disbelief.
Mattheus nodded. "They crushed the Divine Hand cleanly. No one was dead or severely injured. In other words, Evelyn had taken down their leader, Garam Haygaiden, by herself."
"!!!"
