Chapter 121 - 121. Be Prepared And Expect The Unexpected (1/2)
Patricia replied as she introduced herself and the children to Cyrus. She eyed him with suspicion and is able to read his body language and his intent even before he opened Cyrus opened up his mouth to speak the next sentence.
Cyrus, from the House of Light, was licking his lips as he eyed the Mark of Magi staff and asked, ”May I know where you do acquire that staff that you wield, oh wise one? I have not seen that kind of staff before and it might not be in our books of lore.”
Patricia looked at me with a glanced look and I took the cue that it was my turn to speak, literally.
”Cyrus, that staff was acquired by me and I handed it to my wife as she is the wiser one to wield it. Furthermore, she does qualify to handle the Mark of Magi as it represents the pinnacle of her career.” I choose my words and laid it out to him and he was pleased to no end when he heard the name of the staff.
”Oh wise one, could you let me handle the staff a while as I inspect it at closer proximity?” Cyrus turned and looked at Patricia and he simply ignored me, bloody fool...
”Here, take a look at it but no touching it at all.” Patricia shoved the staff near Cyrus' face at an angle with one hand and letting him see clearly the Mark of Magi that was clearly adorned on top of the staff.
Seeing the staff at close range near his nose, Cyrus could feel its strength, its power emitting from it and also the grandeur of wielding it during battles. He knew that this staff is the top legendary model that one could have in the fantasy world and in some cases, it is one in a million that someone could actually possess it.
”Yes... The Mark of Magi... The most powerful staff in this whole wide world and its the only one that's available. Ownership and wielding this staff is comparable to the Archmage himself. Good Heavens... I wouldn't imagine that this Mark of Magi would be so close to my nose at all right now ... ”
Cyrus was basically inhaling so deep as his flared nostril happened to be flared more viciously as took in a deep whiff that might suck in the Mark of Magi if given the permission to do so. His nostrils simply looked like a big vacuum cleaner right now...
”Aahh... Yesssss...if I could only possess this then the tables would turn against them. By the way, don't you mind me asking... Is this for sale and would you be if interest to be our mentor at the House of Lights?” Cyrus was in an orgasmic state after he inhaled the Mark of Magi deeply that it filled not only his lungs but clouded his pea brain as well.
”You are asking me to join the House of Lights? What if I were to knock some sense into you with this Mark of Magi and knock the lights out if you right now? How dare you, little imp, asking a representative of Castle of Keating-Macleod to leave and join other Houses?”
Patricia was basically fuming mad as she blew smoke that comes out from her nostrils and sides of the mouth like a fire breathing dragon, as she had taken a long pull of her Virginia slims earlier and exhaled right in front of Cyrus.
Seeing Patricia in a raging mad temper, Cyrus took to his heels, pulled his pants higher up his waist, as he ran off into the other direction towards the House of Light. He regretted his last sentence and all he wanted was to wield the Mark of Magi once in his life before he loses his virginity.
”Wow... You really got a temper there, sister in law. I had never seen anyone so fierce before. You really knew his intentions, yes?” Rebecca said as she held Patricia's waist and walked off towards the Castle.
The children walked along with us back and Patricia simply replied, ”He got the eyes of a hungry wolf and I can sense that in him. He's so naive and didn't even think twice that I could use Insight on him as a fellow Wizard.”
”Mummy, Mummy... Can you teach me about Insight and Perception? It's really shameful for me to enter the house of Auntie Becky and not realising that the 2 hoodlums were waiting for me and jumped on me.” Kayla asked Patricia and the latter pulled her closer and walked beside her.
”Don't worry, Mummy will guide you in case Daddy is busy with his two hands at the moment. Not only you, but Mummy will also guide Jane, Ingles and Adam as well... And also our junior members too.”
