Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1816

Deep down, Rourie felt nothing but anger for Endric, 'You must be in over your head, Endric! How dare you show such disrespect to a level nine royal saint?'

Though Severin had injured Endric and several of the family's guards, there was at least a justifiable reason behind all that. Endric might be a prodigy, but he deserved it for his disrespectful comments toward Severin's wives. The Chorteaus were lucky not to have been eradicated that way!

With that in mind, Rourie swiftly picked up from where Rainier left off. His expression transitioned from a stern facade to a cheerful smile as he said to Severin, "I must apologize for my son's failure to inform me of such a significant event beforehand. I could have greeted you personally..."

After that initial flattery, Rourie turned his gaze to Endric. The young man lay unconsciously on the ground and was barely hanging on to life after being severely wounded. He looked at the Chorteaus' elders firmly, giving them a stern order, "We have spoiled Endric. His behavior nearly provoked a conflict between my family and our honorary elder. I will have him expelled from the Chorteaus, effective immediately."

The Chorteaus' elders nodded in solemn agreement. "Yes, sir."

With Endric's punishment done and out of the way, Rourie looked at Severin's group with a cordial smile. "This punishment is a satisfactory one for you, I hope."

The impartiality displayed by Rourie impressed Severin's group. Severin nodded in approval and said, "It is."

That evening, Rourie convened a meeting with his children in a secluded chamber. He wanted to know the details of their encounter with Severin's group.

After learning of the chance meeting in the vast mountains and their rescue from the wolf, Rourie remained pensive for a moment and appeared to reach a decision. He exhaled deeply and remarked, "I am pleased to hear that. His willingness to save you suggests that he isn't a greedy person who would do anything for treasure. Our family has struggled to secure a place to visit the sacred lake for several centuries now. I'm not strong enough to vie for a place this year, so I'll have to place my hopes on Severin."

After some more thought, Rourie continued, "As a level nine royal saint, he can at least secure a place or two for our family in the sacred lake..."
