Hey Draco, if you touch my son, I'll break you!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WCJ3AeGb9
"What! Zinarfil—how did you get in here?... And this boy—is he with you??"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAWCk1VLAv
"Oh, what an honor! I'm so glad to see you, Lady Zinarfil! But I don't recall giving you permission to enter."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKVByuM9kR
"Well, Andreas, you know the cameras are still recording, so you better not say too much. Now all of you, back away from Aryan."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFBskdArKX
While the argument between Draconsius and Andreas escalated due to Zinarfil's sudden arrival, Aryan, overwhelmed by the pressure, fainted and missed the clash between the three powers.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztxl29oxXY
"Sister, you'd better explain why you're here—and who this boy is! And please, stop calling me Draco."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVv2GfLRHq
"Bravo, dear little brother. Do you remember when was the last time we saw each other?"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrVNZiZjJc
"Lady Zinarfil, I apologize for interrupting, but as a king, I must ask—why are you here?"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscfKbKNsMC
"Well, no problem, Roxleus. But you shouldn't talk to a lady with such filth in your tone. Now step aside. I'm taking that child to a healer!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjr37YIqWh
"Alright, Roxleus, Draconsius—everyone, let her do what she came for. But Lady Zinarfil… don't forget you owe us an explanation!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtlsZ7pXYy
After a long argument with the three kings, Zinarfil gently picked up Aryan, whose body had turned cold like ice, and made her way to the exit. Meanwhile, Andreas ordered Abraham and the other judges to end the trial and announce the candidates accepted into the school.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2iVTEQsJL
"Abraham, announce the top students and end the exam."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUYPBieHGy
"Yes, Your Majesty, but we still have the third trial and the sorcerers' assessment…"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3wUpNMfT4
"I told you to end it. Or would you rather I end you?"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxuYyriNQQ
"Y-y-yes, Your Majesty…"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPDR2t8L5z
After the kings departed, Abraham announced that the exam was over. Of the 30 remaining participants, only 20 passed. The top students were Drikaron, Maro, Aryan, and Leo—each a surprise in their own right, especially with Aryan's unexpected appearance.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxSjnQBvFK
Many present wanted to protest, but the fear hanging in the air was too heavy. No one dared.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1uaAxGqDW
"Ughhhh…" Draconsius was furious. He shattered the room in rage, scaring many servants. "I still can't believe that hag showed up!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeSxVwkPiz
"Calm down, Draconsius… Don't degrade yourself."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavYs9xoURZ
"How can I calm down, Roxleus? You know her! Why should I keep calm? And who is that boy?!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn91Pw9GKK
"I think I know who he is," Andreas said as he turned from a painting on the wall to face Draconsius.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwL6VnrOix
"Who is he, King Andreas? Like I said earlier—his face felt very familiar."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ33HshkNR
"Well, King Eldinor, I wasn't sure either… but seeing him up close, and with Zinarfil showing up... It's him. That boy is the son of Atrius—the King of the Legends!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQPIAteS0H
Draconsius, who had just sat down, jumped back to his feet in shock. "How is that possible? Didn't we kill him during the battle?!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFwHN4Ybg
"Well, I agree with Andreas. Eldinor, the reason he seemed familiar to you is probably his silver hair, right? And that ridiculous power for a nine-year-old—it was just like Atrius in his youth!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Y10rltoF
"Unfortunately, King Roxleus, I didn't know Atrius as well as you did. But yes—I'll never forget that face. And I saw it again in that boy... like he was living inside him."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8tkx5ho9l
"Well, it doesn't matter who he looks like—we need to decide what to do with that boy!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6z4yRVKTE
The kings grew serious, staring at one another with expressions devoid of sympathy.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBTA9QIYp0
"Well, I think we shouldn't act until we're sure. That boy is the only person in the history of the mages with an affinity for four elements!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J6Lnj2x7a
"You're right, Roxleus. And not just elements—they're all related elements, too. But if we wait too long and he learns the truth, we're screwed. I don't think we could stand against him like we did against Atrius!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6c57KORKt
"Friends, I hope you haven't forgotten the prophecy from nine years ago. If he's the one—it's better to kill him now!"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm8ssOppFn
Each king shared their thoughts about Aryan. All eyes eventually turned to Andreas, who stood silently, deep in thought, staring at the floor and mumbling, "If he's Atrius's son, then... he's his son too. Interesting. That streak of black in his hair might explain it."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdgfgEbyt
After two minutes of silence, Andreas finally spoke.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCsnVc5Wsg
"Let him live. Let him go to the Crusalis School. Roxleus can watch him through his faction, and I'll try to bring him to our side… and use him for our goals."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0iwD11K8Z
The others looked at each other in surprise but eventually agreed to spare Aryan. Just then, Zinarfil reentered the room, her face as expressionless as a frozen lake.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr3apznDWv
"Well, I see all of you are still here—and sadly, still breathing. I don't know what you're plotting, but let me say this loud and clear: that boy is my son now. If you touch him or even speak to him harshly, I swear—I'll destroy you."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDPDZwJqc2
"And how exactly do you plan on doing that, huh? You think you can take us on alone?"
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjjjagCYPA
"Just like I made sure you became king, little idiot brother. Now I'm leaving, and Aryan will go to school safe and sound. Luckily, he remembers nothing about what happened during the trials, so I suggest you all play dumb, too."
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLstTRNNp0h
With that, Zinarfil walked out, leaving the kings behind.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8CgNm5y5
"I'm sorry to ask this now… but who is that woman?" Eldinor asked, clearly still in shock.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx12M1Dm0ns
Draconsius, his face still flushed with anger, simply muttered, "If you don't know… then stay ignorant."
