Return of the Class 8 Mage
28. royal palace (1)
Royal Palace (1)
“Do you want her waist to be tighter?”
“No, it's okay.”
“For shoes, which ones...”.
Inside the guest room where the guests of the royal palace used to live, Ian was surrounded by many servants. They were all young servants of the royal palace.
“Which one do you prefer? Rose or gold?”
“...... I prefer gold.”
“Excellent choice Sir!”
The servants were collecting clothes for Ian.
They were also Ian's clothes.
However, since he was going to meet the emperor, this was an unnecessary process.
“Bapak. Page, given your age, His Majesty allowed you to meet him in person rather than arrange a board meeting.”
The voice of a servant echoed in the room.
The rooms have a decent soundproof construction.
“Therefore, you will meet His Majesty after the board meeting.
A board meeting where each rank of nobility gathered.
Ian was hoping to meet him there.
It was the general way of the kingdom that needed to be guarded by the recipients of the emperor's orders.
However, the current emperor was considering Ian's age.
Since a board meeting might be too taxing for a boy, he allows her to meet him in person.
“If there is something you need, please feel free to ask this waiter. They will serve you well with excellent skills. ”
Yeah, Ian can see their skills.
They quickly turned Ian into a noble man.
“I understand.”
“Then, excuse me.”
The waiter left the room very quietly.
People said that they were trained to walk quietly, and the servant walked as still as a ninja.
‘Hmm. It's a little stressful.’
Ian had never had a chance to meet the current emperor in person. When he graduated the academy and started to take an interest in politics, the current emperor was already sick like a dead man.
“But I heard a lot about him.”
The public estimation of the current emperor was absolutely perfect.
In politics, he managed to balance between nobles and ivory towers and amassed the power of nobles sharply. In managing a country, even though it is an era of war, it succeeds for the welfare of the country. He is the one who will be recorded as a good and wise king.
‘Except his persistence for the crown prince.’
Nonetheless, the end of the current emperor was not good.
He forcibly raised the crown prince as his reclaimer, and eventually not only the 5th prince and the ivory tower turned away from him, but also the nobles and other Greenriver people. And that was the biggest mistake he made.
‘However, he is a great man.’
Often people refer to mage as ‘sage’.
However, it was one of the biggest misconceptions about witches.
Ian was once a class 8 mage, but he was far from ‘sage’.
‘Sage’ itself only represents ‘one's magical’ talent.
It does not represent ‘bijaksana’ or ‘philosophis’.
‘Instead, many of them are less thoughtful.’
Most witches today are narcissists.
Some witches locked their doors and just spent their lives researching.
For such a man, ‘wisdom’ or such ‘philosophy’ can be expected.
‘Even I am not much different from them.’
A crazy magical research to overcome the wall formed by ‘class’,
Joined the war of unity that Ragnar held.
These two things were all that Ian had done in his previous life.
‘On the other hand, the emperor is on a different level of great people.’
A man with extreme wisdom and judgment.
And Ian would meet such a man.
It's natural to feel nervous.
The only emperor Ian had served in his previous life was Ragnar.
And there was nothing special between them, for they were friends.
‘It would be nice if I could learn some lessons from him.’
Instinctively, Ian looked at the window.
Of all the rooms in the palace, they let Ian wait in the nearby room with the separate palace.
It was the palace where the royal princes lived.
Thanks to that, Ian could see the park, which ‘’ liked very much.
‘What will he do this time?’
He must be somewhere in a separate palace.
Born by a concubine, the fifth prince. The one who most resembled the current emperor, but the one who was cold-blooded, was unlike his father. Ian's old friend, but now he's Ian's enemy.
‘Ragnar.’
What should I do in this timeline?
Ian had been thinking about it since the first day he came back.
However, he could not get a clear answer.
However, there was one thing he believed in.
‘Pay back as much as I suffered.’
He's not an adult yet.
It is too early to take revenge.
Desperation, and a betrayed heart.
Ragnar will suffer in the same way.
“Mr Ian, Your Majesty is waiting.”
A few minutes later, the waiter reported to him.
“Come go.’
Ian followed the waiter.
On the way, many people passed by Ian.
Not just the servants, but the nobles who came out of the council meeting.
Everyone glanced at Ian.
“Is she a witch?”
“People who caught that spy..”.
“I heard that the spy was a 3.” grade magician
There is no difference between the northern region and the capital.
Their faces were full of curiosity.
Though, since they knew he was summoned by the emperor, no one doubted his strength.
“Impressive, even though he is still young.”
“Looks like ivory tower panic about him.”
“Without doubt. Such talent was not an ordinary kind. ”
“This is more than just unusual.”
“What is it, the first witch? He calls with this title.”
“Legenda among the witches?”
“Heh? That's overkill..”
Nobility is the type of man who always opens his ears and eyes.
They have a lot of information about Ian.
“This way.”
Among all the whispers, he reached the main castle of the royal palace.
Ian stood in a space focused on the glory of the emperor.
“Your Honor, mage Ian Page asks to enter.”
Above the door of the meeting room, a voice filled with depth came out.
It was the voice of the emperor, Terry Greenriver.
“Please enter.”
The door was very well taken care of, so it opened without a sound.
Soon, Ian could see the inside of the meeting room.
“I submit to you, Your Majesty.”
Next to the emperor stood the crown prince.
Pretending to be familiar with Ian, he pretended to be affectionately greeting her by raising his arm.
“Increase your face.”
The Emperor looked at Ian's face with detail.
His eyes looked like Ragnar's.
Actually, it has to be the opposite.
“Guests from North region, Ian Page, right?”
While reading the newspaper, the emperor muttered.
That's a report from Ian Page.
“In a short time, you contribute many things.”
“I appreciate your praise, Your Highness.”
“You don't have to force yourself. You won't have a chance to learn all these manners, will you? Enough, sit in the chair.”
Don't force yourself. You will not have the opportunity to learn this manners.
Ian had heard the same thing in his previous life.
The moment when he first met Ragnar.
it says the same thing.
It says well, Blood is thicker than water.
“You must have been through a lot of trouble. Do you like the mansion? I'm specifically giving it all to you. ”
“It was a big house that I had never even seen in a dream.”
“So you like it? Or not?”
The emperor slylyly asked.
Ian answered calmly.
“I really appreciate that. My mother was very happy for it.”
“Hm, I understand.”
Emperor nodded.
Ian's answer was quite satisfying.
“Then, did you guess what I was going to say? The reason I sent the crown prince and invited you to the royal palace, and gave you the house instantly. ”
Of course, Ian knew that.
However, he had to choose what answer he would give to the emperor.
‘Should I answer honestly?’
Ragnar used to like to speak directly to the point, because he believed that people who spoke directly were usually honest.
Because he was similar to his father, the emperor preferred direct speech.
‘No, not yet.’
It's too early.
Until he gets everything he wants, he has to pretend to be a 12-year-old boy.
“Isn't it because I have a special talent?”
“Talent? What talent?”
“According to people, my magic talent is better than others. So...”
Ian muttered intentionally.
“So you mean you're good at magic?”
“This embarrassed me, but yes that's what I heard.”
“Do you think that's it?”
“…….”
“Bulkah?”
Ian did not answer again.
Instead, he remained silent while moving slowly.
To pretend to be embarrassed, Ian deliberately did.
“Dad, he's still a kid. What else do you expect from him?”
The crown prince covered Ian. As he moved some expensive porcelain, he made a face of embarrassment. With this unexpected reaction from the crown prince, the emperor could not say anything.
“….. All right then. Your talent, I really appreciate it. Even other witches are impressed by you.”
If there was no protection from the crown prince, the emperor would try to interrogate Ian more.
He hasn't even started properly.
The boy had an unexpected talent.
There's so much to ask.
‘Instead, I better support the crown prince for now.’
This time, the crown prince covered Ian himself.
In that case it would be better for the emperor not to interrogate Ian further.
So Ian will be more following the crown prince.
“There is still enough time to ask.”
As the emperor determined, he changed the subject.
“As I heard, you contributed greatly to the capture of a suspected witch as a spy of another country. Is that true?”
“When he tried to hurt me, I just defended myself.”
“And you survived it, didn't you? That is the reward you get. ”
Survived the witch's assassination attempt, and she managed to capture him alive.
Next, he found the mana inscription, which was a very important clue.
Ian deserves it.
Ian was expecting it.
“As an imperial citizen, you contribute to the empire. Anyone who contributes should be rewarded. Tell me, is there anything you want?”
Finally, it has come.
Questions Ian had long wanted to hear.
A special system of rewards from the current emperor, which was emulated by the crown prince.
“I've thought a lot about it.”
Officially, it was Ian's first visit to the royal palace.
He couldn't ask for anything specific.
Like I was looking for a specific record.
I want to find something hidden in the royal palace.
He can't ask those things.
Ian had thought about it for a long time, and he finally got his answer.
“I'm still a kid.”
The most important fact at the moment.
Ian was a kid.
Although he had a terrifying talent, it had nothing to do with his age.
Most people would think that way.
“….. I want to tour.”
“tourism?”

It would be an inappropriate request if he was an adult.
Not only that, he would be viewed with suspicion.
The trick he used before with the crown prince.
That was Ian's solution.
“I want to travel around on many sides of the royal palace, and I want to illustrate it to my mother. For him to know what the royal palace is like, and how beautiful the place is.”
