Chapter 253

Max licked her parched lips, it felt like she was pushed to a corner The thought of leaving Riftan’s side ive an answer easily, Ruth, as deep in thought, began to speak

“I understand the intention of the princess But it is a very sudden suggestion If the lady becomes a World Toizard, the lady will have to live in Nornui for the next three or four years Now is not the time to make such a decision Give her time to think about it, please”

“If it were possible, I also would like to have time However, we do not knohen the Duke of Croix will return to the duchy The man was forced to come to this place because he could not overco at the very least, after the negotiation is over”

The princess tried to persuade her with an impatient attitude Max didn’t knohat to do and lowered her eyes She said she would do anything for Riftan, and yet she couldn’t give an answer as to what she illing to do While she continued to hesitate, Ruth glared furiously at the princess

“Can’t it wait for at least three or four days?! The answer shouldn’t be forced to be made now Not only Sir Calypse’s future is at stake, but also of his wife’s”

The princess whose eyebroere furrowed in displeasure, nodded in disgust with a long sigh “I understand Think about this solution while the talks are going on”

The princess rose fro with Simon Max couldn’t say a word until the princess left the roo Uslin, looking at her pale face in fear, suddenly opened his mouth

“You may refuse that option” Max was surprised and her eyes widened, but he continued seriously “The coainst it To tell you the truth… he’s already preparing to leave Whedon”

“Youinto e-exile?” She asked in perplexion

Uslin nodded slowly “Fro into trial If these o to Livadon immediately”

“But t-then… Anatol, and the Re-Rehts…”

“Many of thethe commander In fact, everyone wants to follow him in exile, but there are those who have to rehts hed and looked anxiously at the faces of Ruth, Elliott, and the knights ere silently guarding the door They had a calm face, as if it was a fact that everyone already knew: it was clear that Riftan had spoken to them beforehand She could not bear the shock of it and sank into the chair

Uslin added hastily “I’ to put a burden on the lady It is not yet kno the mediation talks will conclude We just assumed the worst that could happen and discussed it just in case”

“If this hts… he will lose everything”

When she uely, the man closed his mouth as if he didn’t knohat to say A heavy atmosphere surrounded the her shoulders with both hands

“M’lady, it would be useless to think about this right now… better go and get so to decide just on i as a wizard all your life Whether or not you are prepared to do so, you should think carefully and with a clearany decisions”

Max looked at him in the face with hazy vision, then nodded Uslin quickly supported her and led her out of the waiting rooling to clear her coered in her head Ancient wizards who built an island in the middle of the sea to escape the heretic hunters, in the center of which stood a huge tower… When the story of the legend caot back to her rooht

Riftan didn’t return to the room until the sun had risen fro to be asleep and squeezed her eyes shut She heard sounds like he was taking off his clothes, then his heavy body slumped into the spot next to her She let out a shaky breath Riftan’s thick forearhtly The warainst her back made her eyes water She blinked in the dark Just because he ed into a situation where he could lose everything Wasn’t he resentful of her, even though it was her father as h such torment? If he had divorced and married the princess when he returned from the expedition… he would never have ended up in this situation

‘I’m such a fool What even a and she closed her eyes tightly ‘If I go to the World Tower, I will not be able to sleep in his ar away from him for just a few months, will I be able to bear it for four years?’

“Don’t you worry about anything Everything will be fine”

Suddenly, Riftan’s deep voice echoed in her ear As if realizing she hadn’t fallen asleep, he turned her body around, hugged her tightly to his chest, and pressed his cheeks against the top of her head Max sank deeper into his arms, she wanted to run aith him and stay in his arms like that

‘Can’t I just do as he planned? Leave his title, Anatol, the Knights, and everything else Just the two of us far away from all this’

She sed a desperate cry that was painfully scratching her throat She wouldn’t forgive herself if she gave in to such te to hi separated froht the his trust in hi suspicious and insecure, to the point that they got that deep in the proble not to know anything, she would end up forever despising and bla, Max went to the annex where the princess was staying, escorted by knights, just before Riftan would go to theroom Ruth insisted that she should think about it a bit more, but she was afraid that if she didn’t act at that htly and knocked on the princess’s door Agnes looked a bit surprised when she saw her standing in the doorway

“Have you already made up your mind?”

The princess led her into the room and asked carefully Max nodded as she sat down in a velvet-covered chair

“The princess’s suggestion… I will accept it I will become a wizard of the Wo-World Tower”

Contrary to what she expected, Agnes’s pale face had a slightly complicated expression “I know it’s ridiculous to say this after pushi+ng you so hard yesterday, but… are you really sure? Once you enter the World Tower, you will not be able to leave the island until you have finished your training Conificant restrictions”

Max nodded slowly The princess narrowed her eyes, as if trying to assess her determination and looked at her with a helpless smile

“I know Maximilian has no choice It estion because I thought it would also be beneficial to you”

“You suggested it… because it is be-beneficial to me?”
