Painita arrived at the scene, followed by several royal family soldiers and her two great-granddaughters at her side.
When Tetoya and Zelkov saw the Matriarch's dark expression, they both dropped to their knees in a hurry.
"Greetings, Matriarch!"
The soldiers Tetoya had brought also knelt and bowed deeply, not daring to make a sound.
But Painita didn't even glance at the two of them. She threw a sharp look at Darian and said coldly, "Brat, you've got some insane guts."
"Thanks for the compliment. I'm usually reserved, but since I'm at my mother-in-law's house, I feel a bit more relaxed." He replied indifferently, making everyone's eyes narrow.
"Do you even know what kind of spiritual fish you just ate?" Painita asked, her tone freezing.
"I didn't know before, but I found out afterward. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Once a tree becomes a boat, it can't turn back into a tree. Why don't you calm down and have a few bites? I didn't eat it all."
