Return of the Class 8 Mage
148.
The high-level magicians nodded at Ian's request. Instead of firing them, the Ivory Tower Master who had reached a magic level that surpassed imagination treated them as his seniors, with great respect. How could they feel bad about such a thing? People's emotions are sometimes simple and silly.
“Unless the high-ranking witches, you can all empty the room. The witches standing outside will lead the way.”
As per Ian's instructions, Hailey, the princess, the servant girls and Kevin, the imperial palace magician stood up from their seats. Then they headed to the big iron gate to get out of the room.
“Yang noble.”
Then Ian's voice made the princess thrash.
Are there other issues that need to be addressed?
With her heart pounding, the princess turned to look back.
But, something unexpected was said to her.
“Please come here and sit down.”
“What? How, how can I .....?”
“Your Highness is also a high-level magician.”
Thas right. Although some conditions have been given to her, Hailey Greenriver, the princess, is treated as the top-level witch of the Ivory Tower. He has earned the right to attend these meetings.
“But, but I still don't know ...”
“That's why I asked you to sit down. You need to learn what you don't know. What exactly is being done and how it is being done, and what you should do. Do you disagree?”
“…..Ah!”
Was it because of the uneasy feeling that emerged from the trial?
His sense of understanding became more blunt than usual.
***
The first council meeting of the Ivory Tower from the 509th anniversary of the founder of the empire.
The show has come to a smooth close. Several things were discussed after the trial and for the most part, all issues were dealt with positively. The dawn of the new year is quite satisfying.
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk…..
Ian rode a horse-drawn carriage for the first time in a long time. Was it because he had been relying on teleportation and liked magic for a while? Now, even riding a horse carriage felt very foreign.
‘Have I lived a very hard life....?’.
Riding a horse carriage was no stranger at all even in his previous life.
Of course riding a horse carriage is not the only thing that is foreign.
The woman riding the horse carriage with him was also unknown.
Well, than foreign …..
‘…..Cuckold.’
Ian peeked softly. There she sees the beautiful profile of Hailey, the most beautiful woman, the princess, who even earned the title of conditional high magician.
‘Should not ride with’
That's not Ian's suggestion.
It was the princess' request all along.
He accepted his request without much thought.
I didn't realize how awkward it was.
“Good...”.
Was the princess unable to hold herself back any longer in this awkwardness?
He started a conversation.
“Please talk.”
“…..Thank ye. Master.”
His first words were thank you.
“How about, Your Majesty?”
“That you personally took control of the meeting ..”
The princess is not stupid. Ian did not need to step forward in his position, yet he advanced forward without hesitation. What could possibly be the reason?
“Your Majesty was not found innocent. It's just suspended. ”
“That's right, still ...”
Was it because of Ian's cold response?
The voice of the Princess became smaller.
“Well, good if you understand.”
“…..Opo opo?”
“That means, well if you know why I'm stepping forward, and with me stepping forward, what benefits have you reaped. Should I explain further? ”
“No no!”
The princess raised her voice without even realizing it.
The silence returned soon after.
She must have been embarrassed by his response just a moment ago.
“Intact.”
Ian smiled lightly when he saw it like that.
“No need to thank you like that.”
“What you said suddenly ...”
“Your Highness has saved my family, hasn't he?”
Princess Hailey has saved the Ian family during a chaotic attack by the dragon army. Since he considered the safety of his family above himself as a top priority, the act was an act of supreme grace for Ian.
“I should be the one to thank you. Today is just part of showing my appreciation.”
“That, it was only on the orders of my brother...”.
“Because I did, I want to give you my other appreciation sign.”
“…..What?”
From the spatial pouch that was around his belt, Ian took out a blue robe. It is an artifact of the imperial robe, ‘Michel Greenriver Robe.’
“Tomorrow, the news about you, rising to the position of a high-level magician will be widespread throughout the empire. This cloak has also found its rightful owner.”
Michel Greenriver's cloak was left with a will that was only allowed to be passed down to a witch in the imperial family line. And today, after almost 300 years later, a high-level mage, representing the imperial family was born.
“But, but this is an item given by Your Majesty..”.
“Act first, report later is one of the discretionary authority of the tower lord.”
Ian kept talking.
“I will give first and will report later.”
“….”
Princess Hailey took the robe carefully. Artifacts were passed down from generation to generation only to the witches from the members of the imperial family he possessed.
“And this is....”.
Ian's repayment didn't stop there.
As a matter of fact, this time is the actual form of payment.
It was none other than the staff of the Great Prairie.
Only the communication tunnel at the end has been removed.
“About now, Your Majesty should also have his own staff.”

Ian had received the wand, a masterpiece, made by Jerbio, the carpenter.
He no longer needed the staff at the Great Prairie.
However, it would be futile to let it rot somewhere.
It was much better than having someone look after him.
‘It's a hundred times better for the princess to have it.’
