The Wiz
Chapters 38. Asdus

Emerald Kingdom. A great empire that managed to survive after a terrible war 500 years ago. Not only managed to survive, but this Kingdom also eventually managed to control the entire Elcar plain. It is the center of life and the center of government. And the King who rules, becomes the King of kings. So honored and respected by everyone. The power of this Kingdom is unquestionable. The story of those who managed to conquer all the remaining clans is proof that the Emerald Kingdom is very strong.

And also make those who control history in Elcar. Because history is made by the winner, right?

Asdus. He is such a great King. His Highness the Great King of Asdus, it was a complete sentence that should be spoken by people with lower castes than himself. Ordinary people, even the higher-ups of the Palace had to idle Aldus at all times. That was already the rule, and no one was allowed to refuse or even violate it.

The seven higher-ups, including the King, are the consecrated persons of this Palace. In their typical attire, they explain that the seventh caste of them is very different from other people. Even if the person is the clan leader.

Asdus, in addition to being a very exalted King, he was considered very extraordinary special. The people especially the six higher-ups of the Palace believed that Asdus was a great miracle from the Gods to mankind. Not even a few who consider if Asdus has earned the blessing of winning the battle 500 years ago by getting eternal life. Although the news of the eternity of Asdus was only locked tightly in the Palace. Because they were worried, there would be sinners who tried to finish off Asdus because of his blessing.

Although what actually happened was, Asdus got a terrible curse from the God. The terrible curse of mate.

"My Great Lord, I give you my opinion only. It would be best if His Majesty accepts the idea from us elders. Your marriage could later strengthen your position in this Elcar, Your Majesty."

Asdus did not respond immediately. He was still standing facing out the window, turning his back to one of the Palace's higher-ups who was currently standing with his body bent towards him. Asdus let out a long sigh, making the old man behind him start to feel panic. Asdus' right hand slowly lifted. He stared at the silver ring that was curling his ring finger.

"I'm not a man without mate. You know that, don't you?"

The old man's body started to tremble in fear. He spoke wrongly. Actually, it is not new when the discussion about mate will be so sensitive to Asdus. And the old man had just tried to kill himself by asking that.

Asdus' body slowly moved. He turned his body and looked towards the old man. And as he had already turned around completely, the old man's body immediately fell prostrate before him. Can Asdus see if the old man is so frightened.

"Pardon this despicable and foolish servant, My Lord the Great. Ha-servant was so stupid as to say that," said the old man. Asdus stared at the old man sharply before one corner of his lips lifted. Of course, the old man would not be able to see it. Because the old man's head had even been attached to the cold marble floor.

"I have a mate, so you don't have to bother thinking about that kind of thing. Now go and tell your friends, if the gods have sent me another mate," said Asdus. With hesitation, the old man raised his head. He looked at Asdus for a moment before his body snapped and gazed in the other direction. His head nodded quickly.

"Go away. Don't bother me until dinner comes" said Aldus. The old man nodded strongly. He immediately rose from his prostrate position. With a happy face, he once again bowed respectfully to Asdus. After that, the old man walked away leaving Aldus alone in his room. Just like what Aldus wanted from now on. As soon as the door of the room closed tightly, Aldus let out a long sigh. To be honest, he was fed up with them. They included the old man. People who only know how to lick.

Aldus sat down in his chair. He noticed a few rolls of parchment on the left side of his desk, still neatly tied, and waited for him to check. However, Asdus' attention was not on those papers. His gaze was already locked on a single sheet of paper containing the data of one of the disciples in Topaz Academy. The data he got easily thanks to his current position. And this disciple was not a disciple who had managed to become the guard of the past Palace, but rather the data of a different disciple.

This is data from a student who is his mate.

"After a long time, God finally stopped that damn curse on us, my dear," said Asdus slowly. His lips instantly moved forming a smile. Then not too long later, a twinkle sounded from his mouth.

"It's been a long time since you left in front of me. A very tragic departure, I will make up for it. I'll make sure you're the brightest and happiest Queen in Elcar. I will atone for all the sins of the past. Wait for me, my dear," he said again. He smeared the ring on his ring finger. The ring he got first when preparing for his wedding with the mate. But unfortunately, fate even makes their marriage is not done. It is death that welcomes his spouse. Leaving Aldus in loneliness and great regret.

"No one would dare forbid me to take him. He is my partner, mine. Soon enough, I will bring her here and carry out the marriage that should have been there a long time ago." Asdus took a long breath. He closed both his eyes. Trying to recall the intoxicating scent of her partner. The smell is the same as it was 500 years ago.

Now, Aldus misses the girl again.

Both of Aldus' eyes slowly opened. He really can't help himself. Asdus stood up and began to take off his robe. He will see his partner again. As before, he would do it secretly, so that no one would suspect and try to hurt his partner. With the power of teleportation that he had mastered well, Aldus' body had disappeared from that place, and was now in one of the dormitory rooms.

With his magic power, Asdus locked the door. Then he walked over to his partner who was lying on the bed. Cowering like an adorable baby.

"A-addus?" The smile on the face of Asdus instantly rose. He even rubbed his partner's head.

"Hi, sweetheart. I came here again because I missed you" said Asdus. In contrast to Aldus who looked so happy, the girl before him looked quite panicked. Asdus could see it, but he tried not to care. He really misses this girl. At least he is not desperate to bring this girl to the Palace and hold a wedding at this time as well. Even if it is not impossible given its highly exalted position.
