Viscount Felldan's brows rose slightly at Young Lord Asher's words. It was clear that these five minor nobles couldn't outwardly refuse Asher's extended invitation to them and thus were put in a difficult position.

'Based on how things are going, Young Lord Asher is putting them in his territory where he is in much more control of things than Baron Hugh's party. What he'll do in Inanis Territory will be interesting… but ah, already, to have thought of it on the spot is quite incredible enough.' Viscount Felldan thought.

The noble was familiar with how Count Gabriel Inanis worked and thought through things, which was why Asher's immediate reaction was interesting and impressive.

'Who did he learn this from though? I do not think he could have easily gained this from his father, who's still prone to do what he wishes… and I do not think Countess Lita is an expert in these things as well. There's a likelihood that they've taught him this without it even being needed for them to learn themselves—but somehow, that does not even seem to be the case here.' Viscount Felldan thought.

The Viscount observed how the Count and Countess interacted with Young Lord Asher and treated him like he was already an adult in his own right.

'Unlike how Baron Hugh treats Lord Benjamin and Lady Lily like they're still young adults and treats them with guidance, it can be established that the Count and Countess treat Lord Asher as his own person. Did this allow the formulation of growth and maturity? Or is it paired with the incident against Gisir's battle?'

Viscount Felldan didn't know the answer to it, as it could have been a mixture of several things, but either way, it established the same thing in the end.

"Invite us all to Inanis territory, Young Lord Asher?" the five nobles became shocked.

"Would that truly be alright, Young Lord Asher?"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Lucius asked.

"I do not think that the Count and Countess would like us to visit there without any proper warning…"

"Warning? Why would there need to be a warning? I have extended an invitation already and that alone should be enough for both of them. They're my parents and will appreciate visitors from afar," Lucius said with a smile.

"Er…"

"Well…"

"Young Lord Asher, do you know where we reside in?"

"All of you managed to come here to Etara's Cross without any issue, did you not?" Lucius pointed out with a smile. "I do not see how coming to Inanis City will be much of a problem considering how close they are together. It'll only be an additional few days of traveling… Actually, if you wish perhaps we can travel right away?"

"Right away?!" the five nobilities were quickly thrown back by what Young Lord Asher said.

The idea that they were invited to Inanis City was already heart shaking enough, but the fact that Young Lord Asher invited them to travel right away would have sent many to their deaths.

All of them were quite aware of what they have said in private about the Inanis family and if they weren't prepared, it was all too possible that they might slip up and do the wrong thing.

In fact, even now the five minor nobles were trying their best to keep up the facade that everything was alright in front of Young Lord Asher and especially Viscount Felldan.

They knew how sharp Viscount Felldan was and were extremely worried that they'd be seen through their lies and deceit and be sent off to the chopping block prepared by Count Inanis himself.

"It seems Young Lord Asher is quite persuasive." One of the five nobles finally said as they licked their lips and dabbed a handkerchief across their forehead.

"Do you think so?" Lucius smiled almost innocently. "Does that mean that we will be leaving together by tomorrow?"

"Ah, unfortunately, you must understand that we have duties in our estates and territories, Young Lord Asher…" another noble said, wishing to get out, but their shoulders sank slightly. "However, if you will allow us some time to prepare, then we will do our best to visit you."

"Yes, that sounds proper. Perhaps we can all coordinate together on our next available schedule?" another noble said and looked at their companions.

If it was just each one of them alone who came to visit Young Lord Asher and his family in Inanis City, they were afraid that things would turn out dire, but if all five of them came together, then it was possible that they'd be able to survive.

"Well, as long as all of you come to visit Inanis city, then I do not have any issue with it," Lucius said. "I truly do wish to discuss with you guys in length about all that you're facing. I may be young, but I do wish to be able to help all of you, and this is the first step in the right direction."

The five minor nobles glanced at Asher and found themselves unable to say a word. The way he spoke was so genuine that they were almost touched by it, even though it was like they were coerced into joining the young lord.

"W-we appreciate what you do, Young Lord Asher. In fact, what you spoke at length earlier. The need for reform and change in the Land of Etara is something that we can all agree upon."

"Yes! Who wouldn't want to experience a reduction in crime in their own cities? My, if I was wealthier than I am now, then I would have liked to inquire into this Masked Legion mercenary group as well, since you and your father, Count Inanis, have spoken greatly about them."

"We are looking forward to visiting Inanis territory, Young Lord Asher. We thank you yet again for the invitation that you have bestowed to us. We will do our best to visit you at our most available and nearest time so as to not keep you waiting, Young Lord Asher."

"I will be looking forward to it."
