Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 17:
The Coming of the Crown Prince (2)
(By any means necessary, make him your man . )
The luxury carriage embroidered with gold and jewels .
In the carriage, a young handsome man was sitting .
He had impressive platinum-colored hair .
(Use the boy as a foundation to prepare your future status . )
The crown prince of the empire, ‘Hayden Greenriver’ .
He recalled the request of his father .
(I’m telling you to establish a loyal team, unique to yourself . )
The request was to persuade the boy to be your side .
Although they had had a long conversation, the conclusion was simple .
“Ha!”
Hayden couldn’t understand .
Although Ian was a mage, but what’s special about him?
Weren’t there so many mage kids in the ivory tower?
‘There are so many brats I can’t stand . ’
It wasn’t only Ian he had thought .
The five younger brothers in the palace .
In fact, Hayden didn’t regard them as his siblings .
‘Humph, even their mothers aren’t my mother . ’
The kids who would threaten his life later .
Whenever Hayden recalled them, he wanted to vomit .
‘On the day I succeed the crown,’
He would execute all other princes .
Especially the fifth prince, the cunning one .
“Haha . ”
The imagination made him feel better .
After calming his mind, he looked at the scenery over the window .
The river that shone in an emerald color as one of the rivers of Greenriver .
It was the ‘Garmath river,’ which was the border of south and north .
“Your highness . ”
A knight on a horse approached the carriage .
It was the second royal knight captain, Oliver Raywood .
“We should send a messenger to them right now . ”
“I think we already finished that conversation . ”
Captain Oliver hardened his face slightly, so as to not let the crown prince notice .
“They would need a minimum time to prepare your welcome, your highness . Please have mercy on them . ”
Oliver pleaded to crown prince gently and respectfully .
“Ah, Your house is one of the northern houses, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is . ”
The house of Haywood was one of the houses that served the Mogrian house .
Oliver’s older brother was the leader of the Raywood house .
“Hmmm… . ”
The crown prince started to think .
He liked Oliver at least, while he doesn’t like most of the other people .
The knight who always protected him closely, without excuse .
Furthermore, he was called the greatest swords master of the empire .
As a crown prince, he should take care of a man like Oliver .
‘Not the kids who know some magic trick!’
It was the motto of the crown prince .
“How many days left to arrive there?”
“It would take approximately two days . ”
“Fine . I will allow it, only because of your loyalty . ”
“As you command . ”
Oliver moved away from the carriage .
He commanded his squads .
Soon, two riders left the march,
To visit a communication post to send a message to the house of Mogrian .
‘Two days isn’t that bad . ’
His trick was very nasty .
While looking at nobles in a hurry and panicked,
He felt an excitement whenever he watched it .
Maybe it can be expressed as Superiority .
That’s why he hadn’t even relayed his march route properly .
Furthermore, he increased the marching speed to be unexpected .
He wanted to see the northern nobles while they panicked .
‘A guardian of the north? Aegis of the empire? Bullshit . ’
He didn’t like them since the moment he heard of them .
Barbarians who always were talking about the tradition of the north .
They didn’t have mages nor knights with a manaheart .
What made such barbarians feel so proud of themselves?
This time, he would break their pride .
‘And mages . ’
A massive march which continued behind the carriage .
The crown prince stared at other carriages in the march .
Three carriages which were as luxurious as the crown princes .
Each carriage was carrying mages one by one .
‘One day, I will deal with those arrogant men . ’
The northern territory was panicked .
From all nobles to normal people .
They moved in a hurry to prepare for the sudden visit of the crown prince .
“The crown prince will be staying here! Not a single speck of dust will be allowed . Remember it!”
Not only that but the numberless servants and maids in the province castle as well .
“How are we going to satisfy the tongues of palace people?”
“We couldn’t start it unless the chief maid comes… . ”
“I can help you guys . ”
“M . . mrs . Page?”
“Come on . I told you not to call me like that . ”
Kitchen maids, who had no idea of the taste of the royal palace, were on alert as well .
‘I assumed they would be late as there was no message . ’
Of course, the man who in the most trouble,
The great landlord Marcus Mogrian shook his head .
He had enough with the Mogrian mountain event, but now, the crown prince was coming .
“Did everyone arrive?”
“Yes . Except for Macspadden and Raywood house, all other leaders and reclaimers of other houses have arrived at the province castle . Also, those two houses that haven’t arrived sent a message that they will arrive soon . ”
The veteran old butler, Hrothgar answered clearly .
It removed some burdens of the great landlord .
What would happen if there are empty chairs of nobles, while the crown prince arrives?
He must rebuke them with it .
However, the biggest problem was unsolved .
“What about Mr . Mage? No message yet?”
“Yes… No message yet . ”
“That’s the problem . ”
Of course, he wouldn’t want to blame Ian at all .
But he was concerned about the reaction that the crown prince would show .
“Let’s move out, anyway . ”
The great landlord moved toward to the main entrance,
To form a welcome line to greet the crown prince .
“I greet you, great landlord . ”
Numerous leaders and reclaimers from other houses that serve Mogrian were there .
They couldn’t greet each other properly, yet .
They wouldn’t be able to have some conversation until dinner time .
“Greetings later . First, we better prepare to welcome the crown prince . ”
Soon, the nobles started to move quickly .
Including the great landlord, people of the Mogrian house took the first line .
The rest of the leaders and reclaimers of the other houses took a line behind .
“Hew, what a surprise . ”
The leader of the Raywood house had just arrived .
Alter Raywood spoke to the great landlord while moving into his position .
His roused hair showed how fast he had ridden the horse .
“That’s what I am saying . ”
It was the great landlord who was in the biggest trouble .
There were only a few minutes left .
“The crown prince is coming!”
Finally, the shout of a soldier shook the province castle .
From afar, a massive march was coming .
Knights and soldiers with white clothes, and luxurious carriages .
Finally, the problem was coming .
“Great landlord, where is Mr . Mage … . ?”
Now other leaders of houses started to wonder .
The mage was the only reason that the crown prince had come .
However, where is that mage?
“He is . . ”
While The great landlord about to explain that the mage went out somewhere and he hadn’t turned yet,
*Clip-clop! Clip-clop! Clip-clop!*
The narrow shortcut on the side road of the province castle .
At the side road, which was connected to the deep northern territory, a horse was coming .
With the boy riding on it . Actually, while hanging the boy on the back .
“That…”
His riding pose was so untrained .
It couldn’t even be called a riding pose .
The rider’s pose showed no basic skills of riding .
However, the horse directed straight to the destination .
“Stop . ”
*Purrrh!*
With a short word, the horse decreased its speed as if it understood the word .
Would it even possible?
No such clever horse existed .
Nobles spent many hours with their horses .
In their common sense, it was impossible .
“Sorry . I am a bit late . ”
“All good . It’s a relief you just arrived in time . Please, come here . ”
The great landlord indicated Ian’s position by himself .
He was so desperately hurried to do so .
“Mr . Mage is the man who received a royal order, you must stand at the very front of the line, which is the manner of the empire . ”
Every noble who was listening to the conversation was astonished .
Although they had expected it, but they couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw him for real .
‘That boy is… . a mage?’
The boy who arrived with weird riding skill .
He was the guest of the north, Mage Ian Page .
