Chapter 154
As Wesleighs authority, which was mentioned to be able to bringing down even a chicken, vanished, Seilro, the pinnacle of the Magic Assist Division, discovered himself in an equally precarious state of affairs.
No, it could have been a reduction if he had merely been pushed to the sting of a cliff. The Imperial Palace appeared to view the Magic Assist Division as an confederate to the heinous felony Wesleigh, whereas the opposite magic departments, their supposed household, turned a blind eye and shunned them, preoccupied with the place of minister.
Faucet-tap!
Thus, Seilro had been mendacity low, ready for a chance to interrupt by way of the state of affairs as soon as a minister was elected, when he unexpectedly acquired a summons. Furthermore, it got here from Ian, who was mentioned to have gained the unwavering belief of the present prince.
Creak!
Huff, huff
Twenty-one minutes and thirty-four seconds.
He actually made it in below thirty minutes? Did he use a portal?
How may he use a portal by himself? Good job. It will need to have been some time because you ran, being an workplace employee.
Gasping for breath, Seilro surveyed the Magic Operation Departments workplace. 5 division heads, together with Hale, had already gathered. Ian poured a cup of tea and gestured for him to take a seat down.
Your eagerness is admirable. Please sit down, Director Seilro.
He observed Ians gaze drop to his collar. In his haste, he hadnt realized his collar was flipped inside out. Glancing at Hale, who was sprawled out smoking, Seilro sat throughout from him.
Wh-whats this about?The supply of this content material no/v(el)bi((n))
Haha. Certainly. What may it’s? For Director Seilro to come back operating right here on the morning time, it have to be a matter befitting such urgency.
Ian smiled gently, laying the groundwork. All of a sudden, Seilro realized that not like the opposite division heads, reminiscent of Akorella and Hale, who regarded matted, Ian appeared neat and tidy. Absolutely, being on the heart of the Ministry of Magics disaster administration, he ought to be probably the most frazzled.
Was it the worth of being a nobleman? Or was it his fairly face?
Director Seilro?
Im listening.
I need you to know that whereas I imagine the Magic Assist Division had no involvement within the current Wesleigh incident, Im uncertain if the Imperial Palace shall be as satisfied. Its solely pure for opinions to be divided amongst our fellow mages.
Thats not all. What if the Imperial Palace decides to utterly overhaul the Magic Assist Division to maintain the Ministry of Magic in verify? And if, on the similar time, they overview previous work data and uncover problematic points?
Seilro can be unable to keep away from punishment, separate from Wesleigh.
As you already know, the Imperial Palace is presently receiving stories on inside issues of the Ministry of Magic by way of me. Lets make certain to convey the Magic Assist Departments innocence to the palace. That a lot is undoubtedly doable.
Seilro instantly grasped Ians which means. He would persuade his backer, Prince Mariv, to point out leniency to the Magic Assist Division. Stammering, Seilro cautiously provided a rebuttal.
E-even if His Highness Mariv lets it slide, the direct sufferer is His Highness Gale. How he’ll react is
His Highness Gale shouldn’t be an issue both.
At these phrases, Akorella and Hale additionally turned their heads to take a look at Ian. Whereas it was pure for His Highness Mariv to be Ians sponsor, what about His Highness Gale?
Nonetheless, as a substitute of unveiling his secret cope with Gale, Ian gave a obscure response.
As a result of it could be a misstep for His Highness Gale.
A misstep? Hmm. I see.
Hale, who had been smoking within the again, exhaled smoke at Ians phrases. If Mariv seized energy, Gales place would undoubtedly be unstable.
In such a state of affairs, there was no motive for him to persistently go after the Magic Assist Division. He would quite present leniency as a lot as doable. The enemy of an enemy is a pal. He would even take up these forged out from the Ministry of Magic into his personal forces.
Lord Ian Hielo. I’m Girl Dilainas chief attendant. Please spare a second. The carriage is prepared.
Dilaina? The one concubine presently by the Emperors facet and the beginning mom of Arsen and Jin. Ian put down the bundle of paperwork and picked up his coat.
Lets go.
What may she need to see him for? He had a tough concept, however couldnt be sure.
Arsen and Jin. For the sake of her sons security, Dilaina would need for a steadiness between Mariv and Gale. No less than till the kids come of age.
However now that issues had turned out this fashion, if Mariv seized the Ministry of Magic and firmly grasped energy, there can be nobody left to cease his dominance. And if Mariv ascended to the throne, Arsen and Jins security couldn’t be assured both.
Dilaina would quite assist Gale now.
In phrases within the case of the Emperors future demise being problematic, Gale and Dilaina may simply be in the identical boat.
Did Gale maybe drop a touch to Dilaina upfront? That regardless that Ian appeared to face by Marivs facet, he was holding a knife behind his again.
Its doable. Proper now, sustaining forces to reply is necessary. She could attempt to collect power by involving Arsen and Jin.
If not, was she summoning him, somebody thought of Marivs expertise, to maintain him in verify? Because the carriage sped alongside, Ian repeatedly fashioned hypotheses.
Neigh!
The environment of Dilainas palace have been exceptionally quiet as a result of early morning. A cold breeze brushed previous Ians hair, and the chief attendant led him with a half-bowed waist.
This manner, please.
The sound of the chief attendants sneakers echoed loudly. There was nobody within the hall. Though it was early, it was too excessive for a concubines palace. Absolutely, folks had been intentionally cleared out.
The chief attendant bowed her head in entrance of the big arched door resulting in the drawing room.
Excuse me. I’ll briefly announce your arrival inside.
Creak.
There was no servant to convey the message, so she entered herself. As she stepped by way of the door first, Ian stood upright, gazing straight forward.
How a lot time had handed?
Swish.
Ian turned his head down, feeling heat on his proper hand. Silver hair and blue eyes. A baby was holding Ians hand.
Lord Ian.
Eyes conveying that it had been a very long time. The tone was calm and subtly hushed. In that peculiar environment, Ian unconsciously tried to utter the title Jin. Nonetheless, he stopped as a result of childs beaming face.
Your Highness Arsen. Good morning.
Arsen checked out Ian with vast eyes, as if shocked. Then, as if intrigued, his eyes narrowed. Ian felt that gaze was crafty.
How do you know?
Know what?
That Im Arsen.
Ians gaze rested on Arsens cheek. A clean cheek with out dimples. He evenly shook off the childs hand and smiled.
Its a secret.
