Chapter 79 Enrollment 4 (1/2)
”...my mistress?”
Augustus looked both stunned and in disbelief as he looked at Mars, then at Hanna
”but I never.... wait are you perhaps Hanna Orbrage?”
Hanna was a little surprised Augustus knew her full name and gave a nod
”yes that's my name your highness”
”I see...”
Augustus stroked his chin and remained silent for almost a full minute before he looked at Hanna and asked
”and who was it that demand this of you?”
”...I think his name is Victor, form the way he was acting I thinks he's the son a high ranking noble?”
”Victor...”
Augustus stroked his chin again and half a minute late his eyes lit up before he suddenly stood up and bowed down to Hanna
”I'm sorry this is all my fault”
””your highness!””
the so far silent people behind Augustus called out in alarm before they reached out and tired to stop him from bowing
”stop it you two, this is my fault!”
”but your highness plea---”
”stop bowing already”
”Mars?”
”explain if you want forgiveness, bowing comes after”
”yes you're right Mars...”
Augustus sat down again and after a little while did he begin speaking
”...Victor is the son of one of my fathers advisers and has been keeping me company since I began my study here at the academy, he mentioned about a month ago that one Hanna Orbarge was a rare lightning mage like me so I send him to befriend Hanna on my behalf he must have twisted my words”
”well he did seem rather... overbearing”
Augustus gave a bitter smile
”yes so therefor my orders, my responsibility”
Mars gave a sigh and looked at Hanna
”so what do you want to do, kill him?”
”kill him? Augustus?”
”yeah, don't worry you can pin it on me”
”YOU WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?”
discussing killing the prince didn't sit well with the female knight so she drew her sword and pointed it at Mars, but Mars just ignored her and looked at Hanna awaiting her decision
'well I might die once or twice but I'm sure I can make it out the country... maybe I could work something out with the elvers in the Mother forest?'
time seemed to slow to a crawl as Hanna was thinking, Ivan was pale and slightly shaking and the male mage advised Augustus
”your highness please take shelter!”
”no, I must take responsibility for this”
even as the prince tried to act mature Mars still felt his voice shaking slightly, actually the only calm person in the room was Mars, he was 98% sure he would survive even if shit went down even then dying once or twice was fine for him
”I... don't want him dead”
”well then that's fine too, what about Victor?”
”...let me handle him myself”
”okay, well then my businesses here is done”
Mars stood up form the couch and looked the people in the room as he undid his transformation making him look human again before he gave a light bow to the 3rd prince
”excuse me your highness I will take my leave first”
Mars turned and walked towards the door only to stop after a few steps and turn around again
”have any of you seen a black horned panther around...? no? okay”
Mars walked out of the room and left Ivan and Hanna behind
'what to do now..?'
Mars was a loss for what to do and decided to go and check out his new room, after walking for a few minutes he arrived at the dorm building and went inside
'its nice, but kinda pales in compression with the noble dorms....'
Mars walked though the nice dorm building and soon found room 202 and pulled out his key and unlocked the door
”....neat”
the room was indeed as Mars despised it a neat and homey apartment with a kitchen/living room that was furnished with a small table with 4 chairs along with a couch with a small table, walking around in the apartment Mars found it had 2 other rooms, a bedroom and a washing room
”well this is nice... my luggage is here too...”
Mars sat down on the couch and started into the empty air for a few moments before he laid down in the couch and closed his eyes while he focused on the contract he had with Victoria and tired to sense her location
'she's close... in the next room?'
Mars sat up again and started at the right hand wall and clearly felt Victoria was behind the wall
'well I hope she's not in trouble...'
Mars got up from the comfortable couch and walked out his apartment and over to the room 203 and knocked on the door
'please don't be a weird neighbor...'
as Mars had some rude thoughts the door opened
