This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The huge wooden table was filled with various kinds of delicacies food plates and rare expensive drinks

Around the large table sat Queen Fozya and the five princesses, accompanied by Asiya, Hajar, Foran, Alexander, Philip, and Fray.

While slicing a piece of steak that was elegantly placed in front of her, Her Majesty Queen Fozya said while looking at Fray. "Actaully Mr. Parada the second topic we wanted to talk to you about, is the turbulent future that awaits the continent."

(She chose to talk about it while having dinner, to deplete my focus, I forgot how annoying these political events can be.) Fray thought, taking a sip of his drink before saying in a calm voice, "Do you mean the upcoming war?"

(Then the Parada family really knows about the continental war) This is the thought that came to the heads of everyone present, including queen Fozya, as they looked at Fray with serious expressions.

(The war !? What does he mean?) Zina thought, confused by Fray's words. And she wasn't alone despite Noelle all the princesses were ignorant of the war that Fray said, even Noelle who knows what Fray means only has a very small idea about it, and she herself doesn't know what this war actually means.

"So you already know about the war, so what do you think about it?" Alexander asked with an interested voice

"Well, it seems that there is no escape from it," Fray said in a serious voice, looking down at his plate as he slashed the steak.

"Yes, you are right. This war will definitely arise and no one can stop it," said Queen Fozya in a serious voice, before asking again, "So how does the Parada family wants to deal with this war?"

"The Parada family is not interested in ruling the continent," Fray said in an indifferent voice.

"Ruling the continent isn't the only reward the winner will get," Foran replied

"Do you mean the second order law !? Yeah, the Parada family is not interested in that either," Fray replied in a serious voice before looking at the Queen and saying with a stern expression, "We have already decided that we will not participate in this war, and nothing will change that."

"...." Fozya looked at Fray's stern expression with a calm expression before saying, "And do you really think you can do that?"

"…" Fray looked at Queen Fozya who seemed that she didn't finish speaking yet, with an emotionless expression.

"The power possessed by the Parada family is a supreme goal for all great powers. Yes, now the ancient families still respect the ancient pact, because of which you can walk freely without fear while wearing one of the most powerful weapons in the continent," said Queen Fozya, looking at Fray's neck.

(The ancient pact? What is this?) Noelle thought, accompanied by all the princesses in the room with confused expressions

"But do you really think that they will maintain this respect after the outbreak of war?" Queen Fozya asked in a quiet voice while looking at Fray with a sharp expression. As the smile completely disappeared from her face.

(The ancient pact, huh! she is right soon the ancient pact will fall. And with our current reputation, the Parada family will be the first family to fall after the outbreak of war, but if we cannot even defend ourselves on the human continent, it would be better for us to die now before seeing the despair that the outside world will bring.) Fray thought for a while before looking at Queen Foaya with a serious face and saying, "You are right, but the Parada family is not a family that others can easily bully. We will not participate in the war, but we are ready to die, defending our livelihood."

"..." After listening to Fray's confident words and saying his sharp cold expression, everyone fell into a moment of silence, looking into Fray's eyes in awe and even a little fear, after understanding that Fray truly meant what he said.

(It's really rare for Fray to talk this much, it seems like he's really serious about this ) Zina thought with a serious expression as she looked at Fray in awe as well.

But Queen Fozya on the other hand after seeing this arrogant expression on Fray's face, became indescribably angry (This arrogant bastard, he is just like his ancestors, I humbled myself, but he still dared to reject the opportunity I offered him) With this thought in her mind, Queen Fozya said in a serious voice" Mr. Parada, are you sure of your decision?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Fray replied in a stern voice while looking at Queen Fozya with a cold face.

"..." Foran, Alexander, the princesses, Philip, Asiya, and Hajar all looked at the turbulent atmosphere between queen Fozya and The head of the Parada family silently, unwilling to interfere.

(Calm down, this is not the right time yet, it will come the day when I will bury this arrogant family in the ground, but not just yet) Queen Fozya thought before forcing a smile back on her face and saying in a gentle voice, "Well, Mr. Parada, if you change your mind, Lionar kingdom will be more than happy To renew the union that was between us"

"I don't think I'll change my mind, but thanks for the offer," said Fray, putting a piece of meat in his mouth.

Thus, the dinner continued in an awkward atmosphere until suddenly Ralph, the leader of the royal knights, burst into the hall with a serious expression on his face, and without wasting any time approached the queen and whispered to her in a low voice, Ralph unknown words made Queen Fozya's expression serious.

At the same time as he looked at this scene, Nahl's deep voice reached Fray's head (Sir, the mission has been successfully completed)

Queen Fozya suddenly get up from her place with an urgent expression before saying " I'm sorry, something happened I have to excuse myself. Sir. Parada thank you for attending the dinner and thank you again for helping Lionar kingdom that night, I hope you think about my proposal"
