Nathan turned to her again. "So you're suggesting that I go?"
Jillia nodded. "Yes. I know you are still concerned about the death of the Watcher, but I do not believe the life of a mere Watcher would be enough to warrant the Demon King summoning the lords for a gathering of this nature…Whatever this is about, it appears to be a lot more important."
She paused before continuing.
"And if you were to disregard the summons, you would place yourself in a more dangerous position than you were after the Watcher's death."
Jillia then lowered her voice to add this part.
"I know that Isabella, your son's wife, has a certain influence over the Demon King. But I would not advise allowing that circumstance to affect your judgment. …Whatever relationship exists between them, the King is still the ruler of this continent. We should not assume that her influence places you beyond the reach of his authority."
