Chapter 240 - The Queens Request (1/2)

Ray was waiting to hear the Queen's request, even Jack was sitting there silently nervous about what she was about to ask of him. If it was something the queen couldn't do then it must have been a big task.

”It is to do with my youngest son,” Liz said. ”He too at the moment attends Roland academy and has been a student from last year. To put it simply he isn't fitting in at school.”

Liz then raised her hand and the white-robed man who stood by her side placed a pile of doc.u.ments on the table.

”Of course, I care for my son and have had an investigation take place about his current situation. He has only been at the academy for a year and I can't imagine what has happened in that academy.” Liz said as she looked down, her face filled with sorrow.

”But for some reason, my son is being treated as an outcast, the other students are avoiding him and there have been several cases where he has been rushed to the hospital.”

”But isn't he your son, who would be crazy enough to make him a target?” Ray asked.

”Well you see, there are several noble children who attend the academy. Some of them who wield great power in the army and have great influence. Not only that but the academy isn't under the direct control of Alure kingdom. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere and that includes me. Also, it seems he is hiding the fact that he is part of Royalty to his fellow classmates.”

Liz then looked up and looked Ray directly in the eye.

”My request is a simple one, please make sure life at the academy is an easy one for my son. I originally sent him to the academy with the goal of having a normal life and that is all that I wish for him.” Said Liz. ”Please protect him.”

****

After making her request clear the queen could no longer stay at the guildhall any longer. She was escorted away and left doc.u.ments for Lenny and the others to look over. Once the group had decided whether to accept their request or not, Lenny was to contact her the same way he did before.

”Lenny, what information did you give to the queen about me?” Ray asked.

”I simply said that you were a powerful magician for your age that wished to learn more at Roland, she knows nothing about the Divine being giving you a task, nor does she know that you are the current leader at Avrion.”

”I remember you saying they were powerful mages at the academy, with just my magic abilities will I be able to handle them?”

”Relax, the dangerous ones are the teachers and guards inside the academy, the children in the school haven't even broken through yet.”

”Broken through?” Ray asked confused.
