When he heard Zack's roar, the High Official of the Board of Rites blushed and could not say anything.
Zack did not want to waste his time. He motioned with his hand for the official to leave. "Do any of you have any other suggestions?" he asked, looking around.
All the officials looked at each other and fell silent for a moment. They did not dare to say anything rashly.
"Your Majesty!"
Then, a royal guard quickly walked in and knelt toward Zack. "Your Majesty, there are several people outside the palace gate. One of them said he is the leader of the Sword Sect in the Great East, and he wants to see you."
The leader of the Sword Sect?
Zack was stunned. He had no contact with the Sword Sect, so why would their leader want to see him? However, he did not even think much about it at that time. He raised his hand and said, "Bring them here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing the order, the Royal Guard responded and quickly walked out of the hall. Not long after, he brought a few people into the hall. The leader of the group was in a black robe, and he exuded an extraordinary temperament.
It was none other than the Sword Sect's Sect Master, Jedidiah.
"I am Jedidiah, the Sword Sect's Sect Master."
Jedidiah came in front of Zack. He bowed and said politely, "Your Majesty."
"Welcome, Jedidiah." Zack smiled and said, "What brings you here?"
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I am embarrassed. My eldest disciple recently rescued a woman calling herself the Empress on a beach. My other disciple, Sienna, was also present at the time. She later returned to the sect and informed me of the situation, leaving my eldest disciple to care for the Empress alone."
"Who would have thought that the Empress would take revenge and kill my disciple? After that, I heard that the woman came to the Royal City with Ambrose, but Your Majesty saw through her true colors."
"The woman who pretended to be the Empress is cruel and merciless. She killed my eldest disciple and even wanted to seize the throne. I heard that the Carter family was ready to send people to rescue her, so I summoned the courage to meet Your Majesty, and I am willing to cooperate with the Royal City's forces to fight against the Carter family. I will do my best."
Jedidiah could not hide his grief and resentment when he said that.
