Chapter 294 (1/2)
It's morning, at the castle ground where us court magicians will usually have our magic discussion. From the highest ranking court magician to the lowest ranking, everyone will gather around to voice out their opinion, well, almost everyone since I will usually find myself skipping it.
While I did become the youngest court magician due to recommendation from Sis Diana, the other mostly swore loyalty to the first prince, and thus, they purposely make my work difficult. If only I am as brave as Brother Ash, I could just blast them all away without caring for the consequence. I'm sure if I am to snap, they will use the opportunity to bring Sis Diana down. Not that it will affect her, but I don't want to cause any more trouble for her. She has done so much for us siblings that it isn't an exaggeration to say that we are raised by her
”Charlotte! Skipping again aren't you. This is why I am against for commoner like you to be part of us”
”And yet this commoner is the strongest among all of you” [Charlotte]
”That's because you're blessed with the blessing! Nothing more, nothing less”
”Doesn't that mean I am worth it right from the beginning, from some noble who thinks he is a big shot?” [Charlotte]
”Hold your tongue! If not, I wi...”
”And what exactly will you do?” [Zaidi]
”Prince Zaidi!”
Zaidi, with his usual red attire come to the rescue. He might be the youngest prince, but he is a prince nonetheless, and thus, the so call court magician couldn't help but to bow for respect as Zaidi approaches him
”You still haven't answered my question? What will you do to her?” [Zaidi]
”Nothing your highness! I will just make sure she attends the court magician meeting”
”Then she's excuse for now. Charlotte, a group of fire crow devil was spotted inside the ice dungeon. We couldn't dispatch the whole court magician as usual. So, by the order of King Estel and Princess Diana, you're to be dispatch to take care of it with a platoon of army” [Zaidi]
”Right, I will gladly accept the order” [Charlotte]
Seeing that he is not needed, he quickly ask Zaidi's permission to leave, and quickly left the two of us alone
”Well, I'm off” [Charlotte]
”Wait! Don't you heard what I just said? Some of us will joi...” [Zaidi]
”No big deal. It just some fire crows becoming devil. I could just extinguish them from a far” [Charlotte]
”That's not it! With Mahsuri gone, god know if any one of the ten commanders will come to harm you! Just stay here! I already told the army to get ready!” [Zaidi]
”Sigh... Fine” [Charlotte]
”You're hard to deal with sometime” [Zaidi]
I feel bad for him, I can see his point, since the country didn't want to loose such a valuable asset, but at the same time, mobilising an army just for a group of fire crows is absurd. I'm sure there are details he misses out, such as one of the fire crows being severely mutated that it poses massive threat, or their number are overwhelming. Then again, he might accidentally left that out since he is confident that I can take care of it

After taking the same carriage with Zaidi, we arrive at the last spotted location of the fire crows. I can see charred corpses of wild monster as well as trees that have been burned to ashes, creating a layer of silver snow. I don't see any sign of battle between the wild monster and the fire crows, so either the fire crows are absurdly powerful or they're extremely hot that they burn everything in their path simply by passing through it
