"Ugh, that's probably my fastest record of getting paperwork done." Lei Zhen stretched his body as he managed to finish all the docunts.
At first, he didn't plan to speedrun it, but the fact that Robert told him about a council eting comncing in two hours.
It was like a ti bomb was placed upon him and he must finish everything before that ti limit.
Otherwise, Lei Zhen feared that sothing else might occur.
A few seconds later, Lei Zhen stood up and fixed his clothes. He glanced at the mirror to make sure his attire was properly arranged before leaving the office and making his way toward the council eting.
No matter what, he was still a Chancellor, one of the highest ranks possible for a noble besides the duke, which is a rank for royalty.
'Damn, if Robert knew about the matters of wanting to resign, then wouldn't that an he also knew about the kiss? And if Robert knew it, then wouldn't Francis know about it as well?'
It was only now that Lei Zhen realized he might face an interrogation instead.
Luckily he always kept a mask on his face. Otherwise, the passing servants right now would have seen him having a pale face.
Francis always treated his daughter lovingly even though so of his thods were extre. If he knew his beloved daughter went on to kiss him intuitively, then he might go crazy enough to execute him.
'Sigh, I guess I'll just have to make do with what cos to .' Lei Zhen thought to himself.
Execution to him in the ga simply ant he'll need to wait for the cooldown to respawn. It wasn't like he had never died before in the ga.
Soti later, Lei Zhen saw nurous nobles rushing through the door, with so of them even holding a panicked expressions.
They were the lucky ones that had not been captured from the purge, so they were now afraid of being implicated.
After all, being embroiled in the purge would an death and none of them wished to lose their lives.
"C-Chancellor, wait a minute."
Just when Lei Zhen tried to enter the eting, he was stopped by a noble, with his expression practically screaming 'please let go with you' look.
The noble's action was crystal clear and that was he wanted to use Lei Zhen as a shield.
Throughout the purge, the only person that didn't have to worry about anything was the very man that led to the purge itself, and that was Lei Zhen.
Who here wouldn't know that the rits of successfully capturing the black mage belonged to Lei Zhen?
And who here doesn't know the purge comnced because they found out the black mage was sponsored by the very nobles of Yors Castle?
"Sorry, but I have to et up with Princess Kate at the mont. You should know our princess' temper in the past. Once delayed, she would start raising her sword out to who she deed as an enemy for delaying this." Lei Zhen calmly said.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom He quickly threw Kate's na under the bus to frighten the noble and anyone else that tried to use him as a shield.
He was no nanny and none of these nobles even have a good relationship with him. Thus, there was no point in helping them either way.
"I-I see, then I won't bother the Chancellor. Princess Kate's matter must be done first." The noble was clever enough to retreat and leave Lei Zhen alone.
Unwilling to have this occurrence again, Lei Zhen hurriedly entered, only to see the room lighting dim and almost everyone was seated at a round table.
Further into the round table was a throne and another mini-version of the original throne that oversaw the round table from afar. Doesn't take a genius to understand that the two seatings were for Francis and Kate.
'Where am I supposed to sit?' Lei Zhen wondered silently, glancing around the seatings of the round table.
There was no na tag or rank assigned to the seating chairs, so he didn't know which seat to sit in.
Everyone else was silent in the room and he didn't wish to sound like an amateur, standing still for no reason.
Thus, Lei Zhen decided to grab a chair casually to sit on, only to invoke curiosity and surprise from the other nobles.
anwhile, Kate and Francis ca out from another room at this ti and were dumbfounded to see Lei Zhen sitting near the round table.
"C-Chancellor, you don't sit there." Kate laughed awkwardly as she went toward his way and dragged him out.
At the sa ti, she whispered in his ears, "The nobles today might not be implicated by the purge, but they are under heavy supervision currently. Today's eting is to have them declare where their loyalties lie, and it's obvious that you don't need to do those."
"Is that so?" Lei Zhen replied awkwardly. "I wasn't even inford about what this eting is about so it's an honest mistake."
"The council eting didn't include you since we know you don't like to deal with these political issues. So why did you co here in the first place?" Kate asked in a surprised tone.
Hearing that from Kate, Lei Zhen suddenly had the urge to strangle Robert Knightman since he was once again fooled by him.
"Your personal instructor said I have to co today." Lei Zhen grudgingly replied.
"Eh? Instructor Robert did?" Kate raised an eyebrow in shock.
"Never mind it then, just co stand next to . The eting is about to comnce, and we're going to discuss so heavy topics, so having you here would be easier." She added.
What else could Lei Zhen say?
A eting that he wasn't required to attend but was here already, so it would be a waste of ti to simply leave.
Not to ntion, the things discussed here would most likely be implented in the next few days so it could be said he would be gaining valuable information.
"Sigh, I really despise your personal instructor more and more."
