......
Meanwhile, outside the city gates.
Duke Rivi stood at the city gate, with hundreds of knights in silver armor behind him, and dozens of hooded figures holding magic orbs, resembling mages.
A strong sense of danger filled the area outside the city gates, as if war was imminent.
Soon, a carriage arrived with many guards and came to a slow stop.
A knight opened the carriage door, placed his feet on the ground, and the woman dressed as a noblewoman gracefully alighted from the carriage.
She is very beautiful and takes excellent care of herself, but you can still see some signs of aging.
However, this does not diminish her outstanding noble temperament.
As soon as she got out of the car, she glared at Reeves and demanded:
"Rive! What do you mean by this?!"
"You brought your private army and legion of mages to the capital city gates specifically to stop me? You have quite the nerve!"
Duke Reeves smiled kindly and nodded at her.
"Lady Kasanna, how have you been?"
"I brought so many people here simply so that you might stay here a little longer."
"I will let you into the city, but not now."
Although Levi smiled amicably, there was a clear tension between the two.
"Rive, don't forget who I am."
“I have never forgotten, Mrs. Kasanna. I have remembered it ever since you forced me to marry you by using your status.”
Beneath Rivière's kind face, he recounts extremely sensational past events.
This was something that could almost be called a royal secret, but Levi told it off in a casual manner. The guards around Lady Kasanna looked at each other in shock, wondering whether they should continue listening.
However, when Lady Kasanna heard Reeves mention this matter, she suddenly became furious and shouted angrily:
"What do you mean by bringing this up now? Are you just trying to humiliate me?"
"I just wanted to stop you for a chat, and by the way, remind you that you're no longer surnamed Thor."
Duke Reeves waved his hand, and a mage behind him stepped forward and infused magic into the orb in his hand.
After the magical energy swirled chaotically within the orb for a while, it materialized from within the orb.
A table and two chairs appeared out of thin air from the ground.
"Please sit down."
Reeve gestured and took a seat first.
Kasanna looked at the mage, and her agitated emotions calmed down a bit.
Levi's army of mages.
Strictly speaking, being a mage is a profession.
They are not mages, but becoming a mage is much more difficult than becoming a mage.
Magicians rely on expensive magical artifacts to support their magic use, and they also need to train their powerful physical strength for a long time to assist in combat.
The cost of training even a single mage is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.
In the entire capital, only Duke Rivi had the financial resources and status to cultivate such a legion under the emperor's very nose.
In short, if Kasanna tries to force her way in...
She can't break in.
“I know why you have come to the capital, Lady Kasanna. You wish to see His Majesty.”
The knights behind them had already brewed tea for Revi and placed it in front of Kasanna and Revi.
Only the Duke of Reeves would do something like welcoming guests with tea at the city gate.
Kasanna gracefully picked up her teacup and calmly said:
"Devin is my son and also his nephew."
“He won’t stand idly by after something like this has happened.”
"Don't be impulsive, madam."
The Duke of Reeves has not been idle in politics all these years.
He continued to persuade her, and his extremely approachable manner easily calmed Cassandra down.
"First, you need to know who your son has offended."
“Victor Clavner, you must have heard of that name.”
Upon hearing the name, Kasanna's expression flashed with a troubled look.
No one knows a son better than his mother, and she certainly knew just how arrogant her son had become.
"But Victor is only a viscount..."
"He is now a fourth-tier mage."
Lady Kasanna's eyes widened in disbelief:
"No, how could this be? Even you don't have it..."
Duke Reeves shook his head and smiled wryly.
"But that is indeed the case."
“If Victor is at fault, the Emperor will naturally punish him severely, but if the one with the problem is Devon Reiser.”
"Excuse my bluntness, but you should be prepared to lose him."
