Chapter 341 - Shocking Olgar Till He’s Numb
"Wait… Did you just say that you\'re an Arch Mage now!?" Lawrend exclaimed in disbelief.
As for Aleshia, she covered her mouth in amazement.
The last time they met Olgar, he was just a High Mage. It was a surprise to them that he was already an Arch Mage.
"Yeah. That is also the reason why I\'m not back at Sheron Port City yet. The Mage Guild wanted me to help out with the magic research here," Olgar replied with a nod of his head.
"Congratulations! Eat up, Mr. Olgar. Let me treat you today," Lawrend said.
"Thank you, but I\'d rather treat you today," Olgar replied.
"Huh? No, no, no. Becoming an Arch Mage is a big thing, right? That\'s the least I can do after your help."
Lawrend rapidly shook his head. He knew how hard it was to become an Arch Mage. He had tried to become one before, but there was no luck on his part.
"No. YOU, becoming the Prime Student of the best academy in the whole Empire is a big thing. Don\'t you know that if the capital isn\'t that hard to reach, that foreign students would be attending it?"
"Wait, what? The Undrasil Mage Academy is that amazing?"
This was the first time Lawrend was hearing about this. As a student of the academy, he never thought about it. Even the instructors never boasted about it before.
"The kingdom at the north isn\'t a part of our Bluemin Empire. If they were and the journey was easier, many students would travel here," Olgar replied.
"Impressive. Thank you for telling me this. No one would have told me otherwise," Lawrend bowed to him slightly in gratitude.
"No worries. The instructors of the Undrasil Mage Academy have always focused on themselves. They never participated in any of the academic competitions out there as they can easily win it."
"Wow…"
Lawrend suddenly felt respect for all the instructors of the academy. For him, they were badass for doing that.
"That\'s also one of the reasons why they were hailed as the best academy in the Empire. If it weren\'t for the limit of level that the academy could teach, they could be on par with the best of the best academies in the continent," Olgar continued.
"Interesting."
"That reminds me about Ella and Elena. How are they?" Olgar askes.
"They are doing well in the academy. I\'m actually here to invite you to my political campaign," Lawrend replied.
"Political campaign? You\'re competing for Prime Minister?" Olgar asked him in surprise.
The Prime Minister is the second-hand of the King. He/She is the one who would decide the laws that can be signed by the King.
In terms of political power, the Prime Minister is only below the King. Not even the Queen can match him in power.
"No. A Prime Minister is too much work." Lawrend shook his head.
"You want to be the City Lord?" Olgar guessed.
"No. What\'s above the Prime Minister?" Lawrend asked him instead.
"Err… Don\'t tell me..?"
Olgar widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yes. Follow me to her mansion, and I\'ll explain to you all of the details," Lawrend said and pointed to Humility.
"N-No… This is too much for me, Lawrend. I don\'t want to be implicated. I still hadn\'t married Cherry yet," Olgar replied with a tinge of fear in his eyes.
Olgar is a single man. Actually, he\'s also a virgin. He lived his life focusing on magic, and Cherry was his one and only lover.
He would be full of regret if he died before completing all of those. Besides, he was an Arch Mage now. If he doesn\'t unnecessarily risk his life, he could live for 200 years.
"Mr. Olgar, follow us first. If you still don\'t agree after Master explains it to you in detail, we won\'t force you," Aleshia said.
"A-Alright…" Olgar nodded his head reluctantly.
"Before that, eat first. We\'ll just be having desserts as we already ate back home," Lawrend said.
"Okay."
…
After Olgar finished eating, they took him to a carriage to Humility\'s mansion.
"Lawrend, are you crazy?! Did becoming the Prime Student inflate your ego??" Olgar asked Lawrend in a shouting and whispering voice.
"I don\'t care about the Prime Student stuff. It was Humility and Aleshia here that decided about it. I\'m just helping them," Lawrend replied.
"Wait, what?"
Olgar stared at Humility and Aleshia in confusion. He couldn\'t understand why they would do that.
"Master deserves the whole kingdom, and the whole kingdom deserves Master," Humility said seriously.
"Yes. She\'s right," Aleshia responded.
"Who is she?" Olgar pointed at Humility.
"Should I tell him?" Lawrend asked Humility.
"Do it, Master." Humility nodded her head.
"She\'s Kasina Humility Undrasil. The one and only Third Princess of the Undrasil Kingdom," Lawrend said to Olgar with a wide smile on his face.
"Y-Y-You..! You\'re a princess, yet you\'re committing treason!?" Olgar exclaimed in disbelief.
"Shhh… If the coachman hears you, he\'ll be sent to sleep underground," Humility shushed him.
"..."
Olgar opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say anymore. He felt like a passerby who was accidentally involved in a revolution.
"Wait until we get to my mansion, and you\'ll be free to shout however you want," Humility said.
Olgar couldn\'t help but shiver when he heard her words. For some reason, he felt a death threat laced in her words.
"Stop that, Humility. Respect him as I do," Lawrend said to her with a frown on his face.
"Ehehehehe. I was joking, Master," Humility said and extended her tongue outside of her mouth.
Olgar was horrified. Such a pure-looking girl hid such a scary personality under her facade.
The inside of the carriage became silent, and they waited for a dozen minutes before the carriage stopped.
