8 – Archmage

I didn’t get angry when he tried to take Elise away.

For Elise, it was more beneficial for her to be close to the famous Aron family because they had more capital than to stay with me.

Since Aline spoke rudely to him, I thought we were rude to each other once in a while.

But he finally crossed the line.

Violence.

The moment she put her hand on Elise, blood rushed to her head.

At that moment, I unknowingly used all my remaining magic power on him.

“Hey, won’t you answer me?”

Aron can’t answer my question and he just groans.

If I should apologize to Elise here, she was thinking of dissolving the spell, but since she still keeps her mouth shut, I think she needs to increase the strength of her magic.

Just like that, the moment I tried to raise my mana once again and push him with even stronger power.

“Kid, just go there. Anything more than that is dangerous.”

I turned my head at the voice of the woman next to me.

But Aline was the only one standing next to me.

Aline’s gaze is directed downward.

I followed Aline’s gaze and looked down at her.

There, a girl with a cane taller than herself was looking up at me.

“That person!”

“He has never directly intervened in work until now…!”

Everyone except me seemed to know this girl.

By the way.

‘Did this kid just call me a kid?’

I was dumbfounded when a girl who looked at least three years younger than Alice said that to me.

However, the atmosphere was different for her to be called a girl.

Besides, seeing the other people’s careful treatment, I thought that I was not an ordinary person.

‘Am I even going to be the emperor’s child?’

No. It is not.

The emperor never had a daughter this young.

Still, I still had reason, so I opened her mouth so that the girl wouldn’t get hurt.

“Don’t get into a fight with the grown-ups.”

But after hearing my answer, the girl wonders what’s so funny, and suddenly she bursts out laughing.

It was a hearty laugh that did not feel like the laughter of a girl her age.

“Ha ha ha! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard someone say that to me. Am I out of my mind or do you not recognize who I really am?”

Even at the words of the woman pouring out incomprehensible words, I still didn’t solve the magic I used on Aron.

“Still, I don’t think you’re as crazy as I’ve heard rumors. Magic is a mess, too, but it looks good for self-taught.”

With her words, her girl thumped lightly with her cane in her hand, stamping her down the floor.

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

Then my gravity magic, which had been suppressing him like a lie, disappeared.

“Thank you. Archmage of Penia. I will never forget this grace…”

I couldn’t hide my surprise at Aron’s unexpected reply.

‘That little boy is Phenia?’

How could you not know its name?

A monster that could make rain on drought-scarred lands and blow up a small village with a single gesture.

The reason she looks younger now is because she was studying black magic and accidentally got cursed and turned into a child.

Did you read my thoughts?

Penia meets my eyes and smiles incomprehensibly.

“Did you say Aron?”

“Yes. Archmage of Penia.”

No matter how county you are. No. Everyone was polite in front of her, even if she was a duchess.

“You said you would never forget this debt, right?”

“Yes. I will never forget you on the honor of the Feinheart family.”

“Then pay off that debt now.”

Aron struggled to get up from his seat and couldn’t understand Fenia’s words.

However, Aron immediately nodded to her rumors that she often behaved incomprehensibly.

“Yes. We will listen to the Archmage of Penia’s request as much as possible in our family.”

“Yes. But my request is not that difficult. Just apologize to that girl over there.”

Aron’s gaze turns to Elise, who is struggling with my support.

Penia’s request was to apologize for slapping Alice in front of people.

Aron stutters at Fenia’s unexpected words.

“Ha, but…”

“Why? Does it hurt your pride when you tell someone lower than you to bow your head?”

“·······.”

Penia’s words hit Aron’s head.

Fenia shakes her head as she sees Ar On, who is speechless.

“All right. You don’t have to apologize to her. Didn’t she say she was from the Painheart family? I will never forget that name.”

“I’m sorry!”

As soon as Fenia finishes her words, Aron immediately drops her on her knees and slams her head on the floor.

The sound was so loud that there was an echo in the hall.

“I’m sorry, Miss Ellis. I think I went crazy for a while. Please forgive my rudeness.”

The body of the guy on her knees trembles.

Her family trembled because of her own pride, a crisis that could lead to the downfall of her family.

Seeing him trembling like a puppy wet in the rain, Elise accepted his apology as if her heart had weakened.

“Please stand up. Master Aron. I am also very sorry for the great disrespect you have caused.”

“Thank you for turning a blind eye to my ugly behavior.”

Aron got up from his seat and bowed his head toward Elise and Fenia, who accepted his apology.

And only then, after confirming that the eyes of the people around him are looking at him, he moves out of the ball with a limp.

The moment Fenia appeared, she was halfway through, and her spirit, which had been blown away, returned.

Surely, if Fenia hadn’t undone my magic just a moment ago, Aron’s life would have been really in danger.

The moment to thank Penia for preventing the accident.

Puffed up.

“Mr. Rail! Are you okay?”

“Uh. Are you okay.”

Maybe it’s because I used up all my mana for magic a while ago.

Fatigue begins to set in, not only physically, but also mentally.

I sat down on the chair and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

“Tsk. Using magic that doesn’t have much at once puts strain on the body.”

Seeing me like that, Fenia clicked her tongue and pulled out a can of blue liquid from inside her robe.

Then he came next to me, opened the lid, and spoke to me.

“Open your mouth.”

After I found out that she was a great mage, I had no choice but to lower my stance.

It was because rebelling against her, which even her emperor could not easily deal with, was the same as committing suicide.

I had no choice but to follow her words and open my mouth.

Then he pours the blue liquid straight into my mouth.

‘Is it worth eating?’

I thought it wouldn’t taste good, but the sweet scent of soda lingered in my mouth.

Gulp.

As I swallowed all the liquid, I felt the empty mana fill up like a lie.

Only then did I realize that what I ate was a mana potion.

“Thank you. Archmage of Penia.”

“Do you recognize who I am now?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you right away.”

I bowed my head and greeted him politely. Only then did he nod as if he was satisfied.

“Well, since I was having fun too, I’ll make the rudeness from earlier a non-event.”

Fenia found something more interesting. She looked at Aline and the corners of her mouth began to go up.

Then she asked Allin, stepping her foot in front of him.

“What is your name?”

“My lord’s exclusive knight, Aline.”

Cheap.

My heart sank.

I didn’t think that she would speak her way to her, so I looked at Aline with her eyes wide open.

“Kuh-kuh-kuh. It’s okay. Looking at it, it seems that the original way of speaking is like that.”

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to pay much attention to Allin’s short talk, probably because he’d watched Aline’s appearance a little while ago.

And looks at Aline with her face of interest in her.

“You have so many hidden things.”

As expected, are the eyes of the archmage different?

Apparently, Fenia seemed to recognize Aline’s potential and her disguise as a man at once.

And Aline also did not know that she would reveal her identity, she had a nervous face she had never seen before.

It seems that she also instinctively sensed that her opponent was formidable.

“One is a knight who has a lot to hide, and his master is talented in magic and uses telekinesis magic that only porters use. It’s a pretty funny scene.”

Then he looks back and forth between me and Aline for a moment, then smiles and opens her mouth.

“Don’t you want to learn magic from me?”

“·······!”

At her unexpected proposal, the eyes of not only me but also those who were listening to our conversation opened wide.

The reason was that she was the only great mage in the empire, but also because she was someone who had never raised her apprentice in her entire life.

“Although I have never raised disciples, I am confident that I can teach better than others. It’s better if the knight next to you learns together. How is it?”

Fenia’s proposal was a sweet temptation that I could never resist.

She is a difficult person to invite even in the imperial family.

When she said that she would become her teacher herself, it was no different than having a personal connection comparable to that of the imperial family.

But I couldn’t hastily accept her offer.

I asked her as politely as possible.

“When can I receive instruction?”

“I’m going to take you home right after the prom. You can go right now if you want.”

Penia seemed to be genuinely trying to accept me as a disciple.

“Then how long will I be taught?”

“Hmm. If I teach at my pace, it would normally take about 10 years, but since you still have talent, I think 5 years will be enough.”

5 Years.

A short time if it is short, and a long time if it is long.

But for me, 5 years was a time I couldn’t wait.

You must protect the family from Kyle who tries to use it.

According to the original story, even if I’m not there, Layla will put Kyle down and take the place of the head of the household.

However, it was possible because Allin, who had the potential of a sword master, was by her side.

It was next to impossible for Layla to beat Kyle and become her head of household because Alyn is now by her side, not Lila’s.

So, by the time I return to her house after I’ve left Layla and worked on her magic, it may be that her family has already collapsed.

After thinking about it, I unfortunately declined her offer.

“Thank you, but I don’t think it will be possible to accept Fenia’s offer.”

“Why?”

Fenia’s eyebrows went up slightly, as if she didn’t know I would reject her offer.

I briefly explained why I couldn’t leave my family.

Of course, I didn’t say that Kyle was trying to use the family.

I just told her of the problems her family would have if I, her eldest son, were away.

“Hmm.”

Fenia nodded her head slightly as if she understood my explanation and fell into trouble.

However, that worry did not last long.

Like a great wizard, she raised the corners of her mouth as if she had come up with a good idea right away.

“I can go to your house myself. So no problem?”
