Chapter 53 Dungeon Investigation 02.
"Okay, I think that concludes our discussion".
Sullivan exhaled softly and took the silver cup on the table. A night had passed since he sent Ryan and his parties to investigate the Dungeon, along with his daughter.
He received the message from one of the guards that took them there. They will begin investigating today.
"Yes, thank you for your time, Your Highness".
The guild master flipped the stack of documents in his hand, the result of their long discussion about the Dungeon. However, it was still not done. There were still several steps before the kingdom acknowledged the Dungeon as the Duke’s property.
"Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave". The guild master stood up and slightly bowed his head.
Sullivan nodded and stood up, exchanging firm handshakes to encourage each other because the next matter would be tedious. He swept his gaze, following the retreating figure of the guild master, who slowly left the room.

A day had passed since Silvia accompanied the Midnight family. They even had to halt their departure; he sent a message to the King and his family in the capital, telling them something urgent had happened in the state.

The knocking sound rang across the room, disrupting his thoughts. Sullivan rubbed his nose, turned to the door, and opened his lips. "Who is it?"
