Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 506

"I'll be there if time permits, Mister Severin!" Valerian felt at a loss when Severin raised a glass to him, and he could only respond with an awkward smile.

However, Diane noticed that subtle expression, and she could tell that something was amiss.

She could not wrap her head around why someone like Valerian would look so awkward after being toasted by Severin. It could be likened to when a subordinate felt flustered when their superior raised a toast to him. However, Valerian was a war chief, and his superior would have been one of the war gods. Severin could not have been one of those four because their identities were known to the world after the live broadcast of them receiving their award for their meritorious service. The whole nation would have seen them on screen.

In the end, Diane just shook her head and chastised herself for thinking too much. Perhaps Valerian was simply a socially-awkward hothead who loves fighting, which could explain why he seems a little unaccustomed to the entire situation.

"Did you hear that, Severin? Mister Valerian said that he'll attend the wedding celebrations. We'll have so much to be proud of on that day! Diane suffered a lot for you, and you could say that it's all worth it right now. You should decide on the wedding date as soon as you can!" Felicia was full of smiles. Her daughter could finally have a grand wedding which Felicia had also been looking forward to.

"Rest assured, we'll choose the date once I come back!" Severin said with a smile.

Diane smiled and said, "It's all right. I'm used to it, anyway, and besides, I trust that you have to leave because there's something really important for you to do!" She knew that Severin loved her and her daughter, and was a very filial son too. She therefore understood that he had something urgent that required his presence during the coming Augustfest.

Severin nodded. "You're right. It is very important. My master told me that I would stand to gain huge benefits if I go to a designated place, though I'm not quite sure what that benefit is exactly!"
