Chapter 219 - Meeting with Duke Karl Matias (2/2)
The duke looked at me with all seriousness. ”Go on, I am listening.”
”I know that you are the leader of the noble resistance that is against the queen continuing this war. I know some inside information about the queen's real reason for this war, and also what she is planning to do. I ask for your assistance to bring down the queen once and for all.”
The duke was looking at me with piercing gaze. I can feel he was judging me.
”I will tell you my decision after I hear what you have to say.” The duke said solemnly.
I was at least happy to hear that the duke is willing to hear me out that I realized I was holding my breath and I sighed in relief.
”But first there is someone here who wishes to meet you.” The duke said.
”Wishes to meet me?” I asked in confusion.
”Yes, he traveled from far away and asked me to help him meet you.” The duke said. ”Coincidentally, you asked to meet with me. So I thought it would be good to include him in our discussion, as he also brings valuable information.”
I nodded in understanding. I was curious who it was that wants to meet me here in Jennovia.
”Let him in.” The duke ordered.
The door opened and a middle aged man came inside the office.
”Dad?!” Jack stood up and pointed at the middle aged man in surprise.
”Haha, it's been a while my son.” The middle aged man was no other than George Wilson, Jack's father. ”How have you been my boy?”
The father and son hugged each other as a greeting.
”Well you know me, hehe.” Jack replied. ”What brings you here dad?”
”Well I was asked by the king of Grandcrest to visit his fiancée.” George's gaze fell upon me.
”It is a pleasure to meet you Sir George.” I was about to curtsy but George stopped me. He on the other hand kneeled down on one knee in front of me that caught me by surprise.
”All hail to thee that carries the blood of the Almighty One. Hail to the blood of gods on earth, descendants of the Powerful One.” George said with a loud voice. ”This lowly one greets thee, princess of Atlantia.”
I was caught by surprise. This was the first time I have ever heard of a greeting such as this, that I was speechless. The room was also silent for a while. George stood up and gave a gentle smile.
”I am sorry to startle you, your highness. I just never thought I would see someone of the royal blood of Atlantia ever again.” George said. ”I can't help but give you my official greeting. It was a greeting given to the descendants of the Almighty One, the bearers of the royal blood of Atlantia.”
”The princess… you mean she has Atlantian royal blood?” Jack looked surprised.
”Haah… these just shows you never listened to my lectures boy!” George scolded Jack. ”Didn't I tell you about the distinct features of the Atlantian royal family?”
”Of course I listened to your boring lectures.” Jack defended. ”But I guess I wasn't able to get that part about the royal family. Maybe I was asleep at that point, sorry hehe.” George shook his head with his son's response.
”So, you are of Atlantian royal linage.” Duke Matias said. ”This is quite interesting. I am now more interested on what you have to say.”
