Salael quickly prepared a chair for Lamares before saying.
"Come on, brother. Sit, sit! Let's enjoy this banquet together."
Lamares laughed as he sat down.
"You seem pleased with today's event, no?"
Salael nodded straight away.
"It's truly a happy day. After all, he's a genius Formation Master who got third place in the last Formations Guild Main Branch Exam. Above all... he's Droman's direct disciple."
Salael made sure to put emphasis on the last sentence.
However, Lamares didn't seem surprised.
"That's indeed a good thing. I wonder why one of my granddaughters wasn't this lucky. Fortunately... the Communication System's blueprints are in the hands of the Imperial Family already."
Salael understood the hidden meaning behind those words. It was the same thing as saying that having Droman now wouldn't help him as much as he thought.
