Fire Mage

Chapter 276: Aura of Dominance

Rhea thought for a moment and responded in a solemn tone.

"I will do it, Teacher."

Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head and shifted his gaze towards Titus.

"Titus, how is Daisy now?"

His question startled everyone greatly.

Noel and Rhea subconsciously turned their gaze towards Titus and gave him a suspicious look.

Meanwhile, Titus was a little flustered a bit and responded after a short pause.

"She is currently resting in the guest room no.6, Teacher."

"Good." Charles nodded his head and then stood up.

"Go and prepare for the upcoming banquet."

Saying so, he started walking towards the entrance and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.

At that moment, Noel soon snapped out of the daze, glanced at Noel, and asked in a suspicious tone.

"How did you know that Lady Daisy is resting in room no.6?"

"I went to check on her a while ago." Titus didn't find anything odd about his question and responded.

Meanwhile, Rhea also gave a weird look and asked.

"Are you perhaps into older women?"

"No!" An instant response came out of Titus's mouth.

Soon, he glared at both of them and spoke.

"I saved her life. So, it's my responsibility to check whether she is okay or not."

Upon hearing his serious response, Rhea and Noel glanced at each other and shook their heads.

They didn't believe his words at all.

Meanwhile, Titus made a cold snort and started walking towards the guest house.

"Your room is on upstairs." Noel couldn't help but mutter.

On the other hand, Rhea punched him in his abdomen and covered his mouth.

"Let's go. I need your help to select a suitable dress for the banquet."

Saying so, she grabbed his hand and started walking towards the staircase.

"Why me?" Noel grunted in displeasure and followed after her helplessly.

Meanwhile, Charles went to the guest house and soon found out that Oswald and Rachel had long killed Damian!

To his astonishment, they indeed extracted much information about Divine Order organization from his mouth!

After exchanging few words, Charles took Damian's head, stored it in the separate space ring, and returned to his room on the third floor.

After that, he lay on the cotton bed and closed his eyes to take some rest.

A few hours later, a loud knocking sound came from outside and woke him up from a deep sleep.

Soon, a young woman's voice came from the outside.

"Teacher, are you there?"

It was Jessie's voice.

He opened his eyes lazily, let out a yawn, and asked.

"Jessie? What happened?"

"I brought a potion, Teacher." Her voice was loud and clear.

Upon hearing her words, Charles sat up instantly and opened the door using his [Sleight of Mystery Hand] skill.

"Get in." He said.

Meanwhile, Jessie opened the door, walked in, and soon arrived in front of him.

Then, she took out a potion vial and gave it to him.

"It's the Sunset Dexterity potion, Teacher."

She responded with a smile.

"How much did you spend?" He stared at her in curious.

At that moment, Jessie's smile stiffened a little.

"It's 1.2 million, Teacher. Thankfully, Lady Bella lent me 200,000 gold coins and helped me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won the bid."

'1.2 million…' He sighed deeply and spoke.

"Go and get ready for the banquet."

"Yes, Teacher." Jessie nodded her head and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, Charles stored the potion vial into his space ring and stood up from the bed.

Then, he took out a silver pocket watch from his space ring and checked the timer.

'It's 6.10 P.M. I should also go and get ready.' Nodding inwardly, he moved towards the wardrobe and started selecting a suitable dress for the banquet.

…

As time flies, luxurious carriages entered the old mansion's compound one by one and parked near the right side empty yard.

Then, noblemen, their wives, concubines, young maidens, and young masters walked out from their carriages and looked around in curiousness and confusion.

Currently, hundreds of young men and women stood outside the building, held different weapons, and stood on guard.

They were Rhea's private guards!

The magic lamps covered the compound walls, gardens, and entrances and illuminated the surroundings in different colors of lights.

Unfortunately, none of the nobles were impressed by this sight.

Although Ashley and others spend thousands of gold coins decorating the mansion, it wasn't enough to cover the broken and cracked areas.

"This broken mansion is the fake princess's home? No wonder she didn't hold any banquet in the last three years." A blonde-haired man said in disdain.

He looked around 25-years old and had a similar facial appearance as Daisy.

He was none other than Tyler Elliott!

Unfortunately, none of the surrounding nobles laughed.

If it were a few days ago, they would have mocked Rhea.

But now, fear and anxiousness appeared in everyone's heart.

The main reason for that was the assassination of Larry Foster!

If he were assassinated a few days ago, they would have thought of that incident as the enemy kingdom's work.

But this assassination happened just a day before the start of the banquet.

No, not even a day had passed!

Only then did everyone realize that there was a terrifying monster backing this fake princess!

'No, she is the real princess.' All of them subconsciously changed their minds.

At that moment, a fat man in his late fifties walked out of the nearby carriage and looked around.

He had raven black hair, azure blue eyes and wore a luxurious formal gown embroidered with gold and silver.

He was none other than Baron Colton!

He took a few steps, glanced at the black-haired Tyler, and spoke.

"It's very impolite to talk ill of a Royalty, Mr. Tyler. Please watch your words."

Saying so, he gestured his wife to come out of the carriage and started walking towards the entrance.

As time passes, more and more carriages arrived from different streets and parked in the yard.

Barons, Viscounts, Counts, Marques, and even the Dukes attended this banquet without showing their ego.

The nobles from different households soon moved towards the entrance and entered the old building.

At that moment, tens of maids stood at the doorway and welcomed the guests.

Except for few arrogant nobles, none spoke ill of Rhea or the Ancient Mage, quietly walked past the reception hall, and stepped on the carpeted bifurcated staircase.

They soon reached the second floor, went towards the right side corridor under maids' guidance, and proceeded to the third floor through a spiral staircase.

Soon, they walked to the left side door and finally entered the banquet hall.

The hall was spacious and impressive, and the ceilings were filled with carvings of unique birds and pets.

What made everyone widen their eyes was the vast hall, filled with oaken dining tables and luxurious seats.

There were more than hundreds of tables arranged in the grand hall!

Each of the tables had a name card and seemed to be arranged in order-wise.

Baron Colton's gaze wandered everywhere and soon landed on the unique glass table placed at the hall's center.

Unlike other tables, this one was raised from the rest and looked unique.

A total of eight throne-like seats were arranged around the unique glassy table and looked majestic.

Baron soon retracted his gaze, asked the nearby maid's help, and soon moved towards his family's allocated table.

Like him, many nobles with their family members walked into the banquet hall, soon found the allocated table under servants' help, and sat down silently.

Minutes passed as more nobles walked in one by one and occupied their allocated seats.

After some time, even a group of Rank-3 mages showed up, moved to the non-allocated tables, and sat down.

Then, Day and Night Church's spokesperson and Bishop Myles entered the hall.

After that, Life Church's representatives like Abel Wilson, Emilia Wilson, Andrew, and another new member also walked in.

Except for Amber Church, the remaining Churches like Storm Church, Wisdom Church, and Truth Church representatives entered the banquet hall and moved to their seats.

Within the next few minutes, the whole hall was filled with whispers and murmurs.

At that moment, the entrance door suddenly made a slight noise and attracted everyone's attention.

Just as everyone was looking at the entry, a young lady in her bluish empire waist evening gown walked in and gazed at the large banquet hall.

Her face glowed like the long-lost white moon!

Her long black hair waved due to the slight breeze and drew everyone's attention.

At that moment, her bluish-gem embedded ring glittered lightly and sent strange energy into Rhea's body.

A moment later, Rhea's soul shook for a moment and released an ethereal power in every direction!

Unlike the wisdom power, this one appeared wholly different and unique!

The next instant, everyone felt a suffocating feeling.

The extraordinary power made them retract their eyes and lower their heads in front of her!

A pin-drop silence appeared in the hall.

It was the aura of dominance!

Only a true Sovereign would receive this unique power!

A moment later, all the nobles, mages, even the church representatives stood up from their seats and bowed their heads.

It was not due to fear but due to strange instinct!
