Although the people kept their voices down as they were chatting with each other, Severin could still overhear their conversation as soon as he entered the door. novelbin
He could not help but smile as he led Diane and others to find a place to sit.
However, he did not expect that Satchel would overhear the same conversation too. Satchel immediately made a loud announcement to introduce Severin to everyone. “May I have your attention, please? I’m sure all of you are curious about the identity of the newly-appointed head of South County Mansion, so allow me to introduce you to him!”
He then looked right at Severin, grinned cheekily, and then began his introduction, “That’s right, this man right here is Mister Severin, the South County’s governor! As you can tell, he is a young and promising individual who is only in his twenties. He mentioned that this is his first time attending the province governor’s birthday, and the gift he plans to bestow to the province governor is said to be one that will make everyone’s eyes widen in awe!”
“You…” Felicia’s lips twitched a couple of times when she heard that, and she clenched her fists because she could tell that Satchel had ulterior motives for doing so, and his goal was to thrust him into the spotlight so he could be under public scrutiny.
However, Felicia knew that it would be unwise if she came forth and tried to downplay the supposed ‘gift’. After all, that would make her seem as though she did not put sufficient consideration into the banquet. For a moment, she did not know how to refute him.
“Oh, is that so? We’re curious to know what sort of treasure the South County’s governor has prepared for the province governor this time!” A man in his 50s came forth and remarked.
Regan then immediately came to Severin and introduced the man to him, “Sir, this is the North County’s governor, Timon Lovren.”
“Ah, the North County’s governor! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Severin had a very flat expression, and he merely smiled at Timon before nodding respectfully. “Mister Satchel was just joking. I’m sure everyone knows that I was never a famous person, and I couldn’t have had any time to amass any treasures in the time that I’ve become the county governor. Being invited to the province governor’s sixtieth birthday party is already a huge honor.”
Satchel’s mouth twitched violently, and he had to admit that Severin was witty enough to use his sentences and get out of a tricky situation.
“Hehe, you’re just being modest, Mister Severin.” Timon chuckled, and said, “There has to be something about you that stands out if you could become the governor of one of four major counties in Skystream Province. You don’t have to be so humble. We just need to work hard and strive to make contributions to the Skystream Province, so that they will be the best among all nine provinces.”
Severin did not expect that Timon would be such a smooth-talker too. Though it initially sounded as if Timon was chastising Severin, he later used his words expertly as if to tell Severin that everyone is on the same boat. That way, Timon would not offend anyone with that remark.
With a smile, Severin nodded and said, “I agree wholeheartedly, Mister Timon. We will have to work hard together in the future. However, you and the rest of the county governors are my seniors, so there is much still for me to learn from you.”
“Haha, you’re too kind! Too kind!” Timon laughed. He seemed to be quite pleased after hearing Severin’s flattery.
