Chapter 33: Meeting the King
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The guard drove the horse carriage, and the whip lashed from time to time.
Slap! There were loud sounds, followed by neighing.
About twenty minutes later, the carriage finally reached its destination.
Lovis got off the carriage and walked straight into the Dean’s office.
When he reached the office, he opened the door and saw that there was no one inside.
He then asked the teacher who came to report on the situation in the academy, “Where did your Dean go?”
“Our Dean? Of course he has matters to attend to.” Charlie was about to turn around but he heard it was an unfamiliar voice and did not bother to do so.
Lovis then asked: “Do you know where he went?”
Hearing the strange voice asking again, Charlie turned around and shouted, “How annoying can you get?”
He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Lovis, who was wearing enchanted armor, was looking at him coldly.
Charlie quickly asked, “You are?”
“I’m the captain of the Royal Guard Squad, my name is Lovis.”
Then, he asked, “Can you tell me where your Dean is now?”
“Yes, of course!” Charlie said in a trembling voice.
Then, he led Lovis to the meeting room.
The people in the meeting room were completely unaware of the situation outside.
Just as Sainz was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock!
Seeing that no one was opening the door, Lovis pushed it open.
The door handle broke and fell to the ground. Everyone looked at Lovis who forced the door open.
Seeing that it was Lovis who had arrived, Sainz asked, “What exactly made Sir Lovis so angry?”
“What made me angry? I think you are trying to defy His Majesty’s orders!” Lovis said coldly.
This time, it was the people in the meeting room’s turn to be dumbfounded. Someone asked: “Defy the King’s orders? What do you mean?”
Everyone in the meeting room had their own opinions.
“This must be a misunderstanding, isn’t it, Sir Lovis?” Sainz said as he gave everyone a look.
At this moment, someone finally reacted and hurriedly took a gift box before going to Lovis.
He said, “This is a small token of our appreciation. I hope that you will accept it.”
Seeing that Lovis had accepted the gift, everyone went up to offer their gifts.
Seeing this, Sainz’s eyes were filled with pain.
He thought to himself that the price was a little too much!
Seeing that everyone had given their contribution, Lovis said, “Dean, the King would like to invite you to the palace to discuss something.”
All the mages in the meeting room looked at Sainz in surprise.
Even Sainz had not expected the King to invite him to the palace to discuss this matter.
With that, Lovis led the way to the carriage outside.
After getting on the carriage, he saw that Mantayu was also inside.
Mantayu thought of what Lovis said earlier that he should know who this person was.
Mantayu thought about this and connected it to the situation of his son being captured.
He said to Lovis: “Since he’s here, let’s set off quickly.”
Lovis did not say anything and got on the carriage as the group headed towards the castle.
On the way to the castle, Mantayu asked Sainz: “Do you think this has anything to do with the commotion of the demonic beasts in the forest?”
Sainz replied: “I don’t know. I’m not sure about this either, but I think it’s related.”
When Mantayu heard an answer that was the same as what he thought, he did not ask further.
Just like that, there was nothing to talk about along the way until they reached the castle. Upon arrival, Lovis said: “We have arrived at the castle. Next, I will bring you to see His Majesty.”
Sainz and Mantayu were shocked by what they saw as they thought to themselves.
This King is probably the first in history to have such a huge castle, right?
Seeing that the two of them were so shocked by the scene before them that they could not speak, Lovis thought to himself.
Country bumpkins!
They were so shocked that they could not speak. Wouldn’t they be even more shocked when they get inside the palace?
He had subconsciously ignored the fact that he was just as shocked as the two people before him when he first arrived.
As the shocking sights continued as they moved along, they gradually became numb.
The three of them made several turns and crossed another bridge.
Then, they came to a large door with countless rubies and sapphires embedded on the edges.
The door was made of spiritual wood!
Once again, Mantayu and Sainz were shocked by what they saw.
While the two of them were still in shock, Lovis spoke.
“Prepare to meet the King. Don’t embarrass yourselves!”
Upon hearing this, Mantayu and Sainz hurriedly straightened their clothes.
With a surprising squeak, the door was opened. An old man was waiting for them on a chair in the hall.
Beside him was a table and a chair. On the table, there were dishes that emitted a fragrant smell.
The old man, who was still working on things, did not notice the two who had arrived.
Lovis went to the old man and whispered something into his ear.
Hearing this, the old man was surprised for a moment before asking Mantayu and Sainz to wait by the table and chairs.
After about ten minutes, the old man looked up.
He saw that Mantayu and Sainz were still standing in the doorway.
Seeing this, the old man asked them to sit down.
They were going to discuss the matter of the César Forest together.
