Return of the Class 8 Mage
39.2. fashionable society (1)
It was not an invitation from the Emperor.
The Sigil on the letter belonged to the Crown Prince.
Frankly, Ian was happy to see it.
‘Modis Society, right?’
The letter is simple
Kingdom ‘Fashionable Society’ will be held soon.
Mainly, this time, it would be held in the name of the Crown Prince, not the Emperor.
And the letter invites Ian and Vanessa to the party.
Next week, in the royal dance hall.
‘Why did he invite me to this party?’
Usually, a mage never gets an invitation from the Fashionable Society.
While magic was the strongest weapon of the Ivory Tower, the best weapons of the royal family were dignity, citizens, and many soldiers and noble money. Therefore the relationship between nobles is very important, and to manage and develop this relationship, ‘Modern’ society is usually used as ‘alat’.
“She doesn't know about this.”
And in such a place, had he just invited the Archmage from the Ivory Tower?
If the Emperor found out about this, it would disappoint him.
Next, at the very bottom of the invitation,
The Crown Prince added a tag, full of his pride, and a message was written.
Perhaps, except for Ian, he would send this invitation to the other nobles just a few days before the event, or perhaps even in the morning of the event day.
Simply put, to tempt them.
“Yes, that's typical of him.”
Not only did he invite mages, but also teased the other nobles.
She had completely ruined the true meaning of the Fashionable Society.
He used to like such stupid acts.
And did Ian ever consider him to be his friend?
As a true friend who might chat and relax with her?
Ian regretted what he thought.
The Crown Prince is nothing more than a convenient tool.
“…….”
What made Ian have to worry about?
Ian could have just let him do whatever he wanted, so every noble turned away from the Crown Prince.
“Huh, damn.”
Ian rubbed his face rough.
He walked to his desk.
He opened the empty parchment while holding a pen in his hand to write a letter to the Crown Prince.
‘If he still does not accept my advice, then let him receive what he deserves.’
Ian began writing his letter.
Ian's letter was effective.
The nobles who were supposed to be invited received the invitation early enough to prepare the society.
However, Ian and Vanessa's names were not omitted from the Fashionable Society's guest list.
Only half of Ian's letters were successful.
“Stay only, it's good enough for him.”
So Ian and his mother had to attend the society.
Ian wore his clothes while visiting the emperor, as well as Vanessa.
“I, I really don't know if I'm allowed in.”
This was the first time Vanessa visited the palace.
His face was full of worries.
His voice vibrates.
“Don't worry too much. Nothing is difficult.”
Ian doesn't know very well how ‘Fashionable’ society works. However, she imagined something whenever she saw her mother in a luxurious dress. If she was the daughter of a noble family, she was definitely one of the most famous in society. And that imagination came true when Ian saw his mother today. Since she had rested and eaten well recently, and received beauty treatments from the servants, she looked much prettier than before.
‘I can see the strength of the professional beauty care maids.’
From makeup to accessories, she is perfect.
Ian could be sure of one thing.
“I must have inherited my father's appearance.”
Or maybe he was adopted.
Vanessa is beautiful.
“Mr Ian.”
A voice called out to Ian.
It was a servant who guided the guests of the community.
“I received your name, Mr. Ian. And this... Mrs Page......?”
“A, right?”
It's been widely spread that Ian Page's mother was once a kitchen waitress. And since the maid was a member of the lower classes, that fact made her even more interested. Vanessa's dramatically changed life is a legend to them.
‘I can't believe that she is a kitchen waitress ...’.
The waiter had seen many kitchen maids, and also acknowledged the rough appearance of the northern woman.
However, Vanessa is shattering this stereotype.
She is a rare beauty.
“Y, yes, I am Mrs Page. Is there a problem.....?”
“Ah! Not everything. Please sign. This way.”
The waiter could barely calm himself down, and led the way.
But Vanessa can't get in easily.
“Come go bu.”
“H, yes?”
Ian firmly grabbed his mother's hand and pulled it.
“Then, please enjoy.”
The waiter took them to the dance hall.
He went to guide another guest.
A mother and son stood awkwardly.
“M, many people here.”
“Ya, no.”
Ian also did not know about the Fashionable Society.
Of course, she was a witch from the Ivory Tower.
Next, he was their head.
Although she told her mother that there was nothing difficult about society, she did not know much about it.
“This is more than I heard.”
The ballroom is divided into three sections.
First, the part of the head of the family that was invited.
Second, the section for young reclaimers.
Finally, a section for women and house wives.
Of course, there were no rules separating them, but only ordinary manners.
‘I cannot leave my mother alone ..’
Ian couldn't just stand in the middle of the entrance.
Ian had to move to the part where the heads of the family or young reclaimers were gathered, while his mother had to go to where the women were gathered.
Ian was not comfortable about it.
‘Should I introduce myself as a witch?’
It was a Fashionable Society for nobles.
It was held to establish a close relationship between the houses.
The opportunity to flatter a higher ranked home.
Discrimination between the ranks.
It was a political commotion.
“Ian.”
Due to Ian's unhealthy face, Vanessa asked first.
“I'm supposed to go to that part, right?”
He has his own eyes, and is able to think. He also knew that this ballroom was divided into three parts.
“No, you don't have to ..”
“I'm fine. They are all high nobles, I have to do what I have to do. ”
With a smiling face, Vanessa tried to comfort her son. With a shy step, he approached the part where the women were gathered. As everyone else did, he picked up a glass of alcohol.
“Mother.”
Because of Ian's call, Vanessa looked back.
His face looks very nervous.
“You know who I am, right?”
“Hah?”
Read the latest chapter in the novel Only
“Nothing higher than you. So, know yourself with pride. Tell them about your son, and my title. ”
He didn't just say that to comfort her.
Vanessa is the mother of the Ivory Tower's 4th class witch. She was the mother of the mighty Archmage. Among these nobles, no one dared to stand on it.
“Sure, I'm proud of you.”
With a cheerful pose, Vanessa entered the entourage. He looked confident, but Ian still felt uneasy. He could not move, but only saw where his mother stood.
