"Excuse me, Sir Ezekiel Oppenheimer. You have received a summons from the Emperor's office," Rajko Durril said with an incredulous expression on his face.
Ezekiel Oppenheimer stood there in stunned silence when he heard the summons from His Majesty. The same went for Moshe Goldstein, but unlike Ezekiel, he recovered faintly quickly—not only because he was older in age and more experienced, but also because he was not the main person who was invited.

He even had a few friends who were nobles.
