Chapter 282: Griffon Family

Churches' sudden announcement caused confusion and puzzlement among the nobles' circles.

The current Royal Faction, the remaining nobles, and the Iron Tower mages firmly refused to believe the Churches' words and opposed them directly.

Meanwhile, the Churches' representatives didn't even respond to their opposition and ordered the Foster Family members and the Royal Faction members to evacuate the Royal Castle!

Not only that, but they also keep pressuring Jessie and others to conduct the coronation ceremony!

December 26th, it was around 4.P.M.

It's been more than 80 days since the Nobles annihilated the Divine Order organization.

Because of their action, no kidnapping or killing incident occurred anywhere in the kingdom at all!

The whole kingdom went on a silent mode.

Although the nobles, mages, and Royal Faction members were dissatisfied, none dared to oppose the churches openly.

Some nobles even chose to change factions.

Reception Hall, Old Mansion.

Jessie sat on the chesterfield sofa and looked at two guests seated on the opposite sofa.

The one seated on the right side was a long brown-haired man in his late fifties, had emerald green eyes, thick eyebrows, olive skin, and a thin mustache on his face.

He wore a neat golden-lined white robe and a brown cap with a unique symbol engraved on it.

It was a unique circle symbol with a six-pointed star in it. It looked much like a wheel, representing the great wheel of life.

The brown-haired man was none other than Abel Watson, Emilia's elder brother.

Next to him was another old man in his late 70s with wrinkled skin. He had silvery hair, strange multi-colored eyes, and wore a luxurious golden robe.

Although he looked more like a wealthy merchant, he was actually a Rank-4 dual-class Mystic!

Whenever Jessie looked into the multi-colored eyes, a strange feeling of uneasiness appeared in her heart.

It was as if some dangerous monster was hiding in his body and looking through those eyes!

'Those eyes are not normal… Moreover, I sense a foul power within this old man's body….' Jessie frowned.

'Destiny Lady and Teacher's family members are not in the mansion… Did he come here after knowing this news? Is he looking for trouble?' Her soft hands started to become sweaty.

Meanwhile, the silver-haired old man crossed his legs together and stared at her coldly.

There was a trace of arrogance, and pride appeared on his face.

The old man's name was Andy Griffon, the current head of the Griffon Noble family!

"It's been almost three months since the Churches announced Rhea as the next Monarch of the Iron Kingdom. But why are you delaying the coronation ceremony?" He asked with a frown.

In truth, he didn't care about this coronation ceremony at all.

The main reason he came to this old mansion was because of those Churches' requests.

During the past three months, the Churches' representatives asked Jessie and others to conduct Rhea's coronation ceremony multiple times.

But to their shock, these four youngsters refused their requests and were so firm about delaying the ceremony!

Their action infuriated everyone from the Churches.

Although they were the ones who declared her as the next Monarch, they hadn't gained complete control over Rhea's life like Vance Boneflare.

So, they had no choice but to use other external methods like asking the head of the Griffon Family to force these youngsters to submit.

They want to make a puppet ruler, not a rebellious one!

A forced smile appeared on Jessie's face as she heard Andy's question.

'Griffon family… The only family in this kingdom that holds full authority over the Iron Tower… They are descendants of Arch-Mage Marcus Griffon, the sole Rank-5 Existence in this kingdom.'

She took a deep breath and spoke in a polite tone.

"Our Teacher hasn't returned from his mission yet, Lord Andy. When he returns, we will inform everyone about his arrival and then announce the date of the coronation ceremony."

"We are not going to crown your Teacher, brat." Andy snorted coldly, stared at her for a moment, and continued in a deep tone.

"We will hold the coronation ceremony on January 4th. Whether your Teacher comes back from his mission or not, the coronation ceremony will be held without any delay."

As he said those words, he turned towards the right side, released his wisdom power, and soon frowned.

'A soul array? That Ancient Mage seems to be hiding something in the underground basement. Should I break it?' A thought appeared in his head.

Meanwhile, Jessie's expression turned gloomy.

'This man is obviously looking for trouble. Damn it, why did he come at this moment? Those Churches...'

Although she was angry inside, she held her anger and spoke in a cold tone.

"You can't order us around like your servants, My Lord. Although you and your Griffon family are powerful, we are not easy to be bullied."

An amusing smile appeared on the old man Andy's face.

"Your Teacher is indeed a powerful Ancient Mage and has the power to toy with multiple Rank-4 Existences. But he is far from the reach of the Rank-5 realm. If my guess is not wrong, your Teacher must have lost most of his soul power due to some reason and is still in recovering state. It would take more than three decades for him to reach the Rank-5 realm. Currently, we are the rulers here."

Although he spoke, an invisible power suddenly appeared in the room, causing Jessie's body to go stiff.

She tried to move her hand but couldn't!

At that moment, cracks appeared on the glass table, nearby lamp, wooden chairs, and shattered everything!

Jessie's face went pale.

Although it wasn't powerful enough to crush her body, she still felt crushing pain everywhere.

'He is insane.' She couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Do you agree now?" Andy asked with a stern look.

On the other hand, Jessie lowered her head in anger, bit her lips, and spoke.

"We are disciples of Ancient Mage Oswald, Mr. Andy-"

Before she could finish her words, the invisible power increased twofold, causing her to yelp in pain.

"It's Lord Andy." The old man corrected her.

At that moment, Abel frowned a bit, extended his right hand, and released his wisdom power.

The next instant, his wisdom power completely blocked Andy's one and protected Jessie!

Then, Abel turned towards his right side and spoke in a calm tone.

"Your ancestor is currently not in Edhen to protect you, Mr. Andy. So, don't go around and antagonize powerful existences. You are nothing powerful enough to face him."

"Even I'm not powerful enough to face him?" Andy raised his eyebrows in surprise, retracted his wisdom power, and looked into Abel's eyes.

Upon noticing his gaze, Abel also retracted his power and shook his head.

"Humph, I will see about that. January 4th is the final date. If you guys think of delaying the ceremony, I will not hesitate to cut your heads before your Teacher arrives."

Saying so, Andy stood up from his seat and started walking towards the exit.

Meanwhile, Jessie breathed out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.

"Thank you, Your Eminence." She bowed her head a little and thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

After that, she leaned her back against the sofa and asked.

"What's the purpose of your visit, Your Eminence?"

Instead of responding, Abel took out a golden sealed letter, passed it to Jessie, and spoke.

"Give this letter to your Teacher when he returns, Young Miss."

A startled expression appeared on her face.

"To our Teacher?" She furrowed her brows.

Meanwhile, Archbishop Abel shook his head and spoke with a smile.

"This letter is for his grandson Charles."

"Charles…" Jessie paused in surprise and soon nodded her head.

She then stood up from the sofa, went towards Archbishop Abel, and took the letter from his hand.
