I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 43: The Academy Student Welcome
All corners of the Srivijaya kingdom celebrated with great fanfare on the day of the reception of Lynford Academy students. The streets were crowded since the morning as they scrambled to get inside the main fort faster. Those outsiders who were residents of the remote villages queued up in check lines before being allowed to enter. Also, only certain people who have invitations from the academy are allowed. Like the family or guardians of students accepted by the Lynford Academy.
The crowd is not only visible on the outside of the wall, inside it is even more lively! All the attributes of the celebration, trinkets adorned the city that was originally mediocre to be so lively. The sound of the academy's signature celebration song was also heard as the witches mounted the flying broomsticks in sight, they were sent by the academy traveling around in the sky in huge numbers. It was the senior disciples of the academy.
Using abilities that Mavis did not know they were singing and her voice sounded melodious in the ears that heard. A magic capable of making their sound loud but still retaining its melodious quality. This was the first time Mavis knew there was such a unique ability, Mavis was amazed and could not stop looking at the sky.
"Sir, King Ragnar is approaching." Mikaela who stood near Mavis and looked around her found a familiar figure they had met a few days ago.
"What meda?" said King Ragnar.
"Just admire those who have the ability" Mavis said. Not wanting to act disrespectful he immediately took his eyes off the sky and encountered a huge figure in front of him.
"Your Majesty." Mavis bowed to pay her respects. "What kind of business does His Majesty have until he comes looking for me alone?"
"You know, son, this is about my only daughter you're gonna be betrothed to. I'm really sorry for all his bad behavior to you."
"Your Majesty, please don't say such a thing."
"No, no, this I need to say because I'm his father. I really don't get out of my mind why a normally open-minded kid seems to believe in rumors." King Ragnar displayed a complicated expression and took a deep breath.
"Maybe he has his own reasons, Your Majesty."
Mavis smiled immediately.
"Princess Judh last night tried to hurt her. He intends to change his life to be able to cancel this match," said King Ragnar.
"Princess Judh must have been very depressed about her matchmaking" Mavis said. "I understand, Your Majesty. I have no problem if this match-making should be cancelled" said Mavis.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say. Though I hope for you, Judh is my only daughter."
"You're a good boy, Asta. If only Judh had agreed to this match, I would be so happy to have a boy like you."
"You know? I had long dreamed of having a son. Really, I'm so jealous of King Cornelius, to have such a great son like you."
King Ragnar smiled with a dull face before leaving Mavis. Meanwhile, Mavis is still standing in her present place while waiting for her welcome to begin.
Before long, he saw that King Ragnar had joined the side of King Cornelius. Also, not far from there were some academy teachers standing neatly with elegant looks. Each of them was a strong man, of various skill sets, especially with the woman there wearing a blue dress suit and a witch hat. Mikaela and Moon who were near Mavis sent a message that the woman was a strong enough person.
"Your Majesty, it's time." The woman spoke softly from behind King Cornelius.
The ceremony was held, King Cornelius opened a welcoming ceremony of students of Lynford Academy with a very lively, "Congratulations to the new students of the academy ...."
The welcoming of the disciple took place quite quickly, and after King Cornelius finished his greeting, then the next welcome came from the head of the academy who turned out to be the woman that Mavis had highlighted earlier. She was Alice, unexpectedly with her relatively young appearance had become the head of the academy, so Mavis had in mind. Though, without Mavis knowing Alice's age exceeds what he can imagine. He was a magical expert, however in terms of keeping his appearance it was as easy as flicking a finger.
