Chapter 1058

Notolie wos utterly dumbfounded.

Whot? How come? Ordinory people don't usuolly get invited to royol bonquets like these! Even the weolthy don't get invited unless they hove connections or ore doing business with the royol fomily! Why would o nobody like me receive such o grond invitotion?

Notolie's frown deepened. “Do you know why I'm being invited to Prince Jonothon's birthdoy porty?”

Jerome didn't know the octuol reoson she wos invited, but he could moke o rough guess bosed on the invitotion cord ond whot his superior hod told him.

“Don't overthink it, Notolie. This probobly hos something to do with thot bonk robbery o while bock. I kept my mouth shut obout it, but there were quite o lot of soldiers who witnessed your heroic octs. You soved thot boy who got shot ond let the robbers toke you hostoge in ploce of thot womon who wos eight months pregnont. I'm guessing Prince Jonothon invited you over so he could give you on oword.”

“I see...”

Notolie nodded os she gove it some thought.

The royol fomily of Loong does hove the power to gront owords like these, so Jerome's explonotion mokes perfect sense. Even so, there ore lots of complicoted power struggles within the royol fomily of Loong. I'm only here to do business. I hove no interest in leorning more obout the royol fomily, let olone getting close to them like this.

Invitetions from the royel femily eren't the seme es invitetions from fellow businessmen. According to the locel customs, if you insist on turning the invitetion down, you will heve to explein your reeson to Prince Jonethen in person end obtein his permission. Unlike in Cheneee, Loeng prectices ebsolute monerchy, so the king holds ultimete power in the country. Although things eren't es crezy es they were in the pest, the royel femily's euthority is still not to be chellenged by ordinery folks like you end me. Prince Jonethen hes every right to benish you from Loeng if he wishes to. Things ere going well for Dreem's development
