Chapter 342: Accepting Fate (1/2)
Olgar exited the carriage with cold sweat pouring down his back.
This wasn't just a joke. He could tell from their expressions that they were serious. Planning a revolution is instant death if they fail.
”Oh!! It's Mr. Olgar!” Elena exclaimed at the doorway of the mansion.
”W-Who are you?” Olgar asked, still feeling tensed about his current situation.
”My appearance changed, but I'm Elena!” Elena replied.
”H-Huh!? L-Lawrend, I'm hallucinating, right? Can I sleep?” Olgar asked Lawrend, confused.
”*Cough* You're destroying your cool image in our minds, Mr. Olgar, if you kept doing that,” Lawrend replied.
”But, look! She's a fully grown, beautiful woman! That Elena that I saw before was a little kid!” Olgar exclaimed and clawed at his hair.
He was about to go crazy at this rate. First, it was Lawrend's crazy plan, and now, Elena is suddenly a grown woman?? Wasn't she a slime before?!
”She's a slime. Don't apply human logic to her,” Lawrend replied.
”Hahh… Huuuuu… Hahhhh…”
Olgar took a deep breath and released it to calm his nerves.
”I understand. Nice to meet you again, Elena,” Olgar extended his hand to her.
”Yes! Nice to meet you too, Mr. Olgar. Thank you for taking good care of Master,” Elena said.
”Surprisingly, you recovered your wits fast,” Lawrend commented on the side.
”Ehem. It's something I can rationalize compared to your crazy thinking!” Olgar retorted angrily.
”Ahahahaha… Follow me to the dining room. Oh, wait. There's that place where you held a meeting, right?” Lawrend asked Aleshia.
”Yes, Master. We can talk there. It's soundproofed so it's best we discuss it there,” Aleshia replied.
”*Gulp*”
Olgar realized that it's about to become even crazier.
He followed behind them, contemplating whether to run away or not. Even if she's the princess, she'd be beheaded for treason.
In the end, curiosity made Olgar stay. He entered a large room with a round table. Lawrend, Aleshia, Humility, and Elena sat beside each other.
While Olgar sat opposite them. At that arrangement, he felt even more pressured.
Even though he was an Arch Mage already, he's still feeling nervous.
”First, Mr. Olgar, I won't force you nor will I let any of them force you. You have my word for that,” Lawrend said.
”Yes.” Olgar nodded his head solemnly.
”The reason I approached you about this is because I trust you. After all, you can be considered my teacher,” Lawrend continued.
”...”
”Elena, call Aezel,” Lawrend said.
”Yes, Master,” Elena replied and left.
”The one who's coming will be our guarantee. Even if we fail, we can escape with her help,” Lawrend explained to the confused Olgar.
A few minutes later, Aezel entered the room.
The moment she entered, Olgar widened his eyes so wide that his eyeballs could pop out at any moment.
”D-DEMON!!”
Olgar pointed at Aezel in horror. He could still remember what happened back then. She and Reon almost destroyed the whole port of Sheron Port City.
