The messenger that Ren allowed to flee was able to report of the events that transpired in Grenton that was now called New Grenton. The King who heard that his third son was still alive, didn't really look that surprised if he was then he was a very good actor indeed.
Though he showed a different expression when he heard the news of his son declaring independence from the kingdom, now that was the news that struck him and all the other nobles the most. Even the sword princess Ashley that returned from her trip was surprised by all the things she missed out on.
Who knew that the three people she met on the road, would be the cause of such a big problem, even finding her missing older brother. Still, after hearing everything they've done in the few months after they met, the sword princess Ashley didn't know what to feel. She then remembered that confident smile of Ren's, and that overwhelming presence he had.
'If it's him I guess anything is possible.'

Also reread chapter 93:???, if you're confused who Gabriel is.
