Chapter 317
Ian stepped into the main palace’s conference room with familiar poise.
Officials waiting along both sides of the wide corridor noticed Ian’s presence and rose. These were the subordinates of ministers attending the grand council. They greeted Ian with subtle nods.
“Good day, Lord Ian.”

“Proceeding except for matters concerning the Magic Department. We just finished discussing the Culture Department’s ‘Expansion of Artist Support Funds.’ The scribe will relay previous records to Lord Romandro.”
The Prime Minister’s aide opened the conference room door.

“Impressive. Are the effects that good?”
“Yes. The figures far exceed expectations.”
