Chapter 719 You“re Not the King Ye

The man who had just emerged from the carriage was clad in a golden armor that shimmered under the sun. His angular features appeared to have been carved from stone, and one of his hands was resting on the hilt of his sword. His entire body was exuding a sense of power and prestige, and he was looking at Irina with a calm expression, seemingly in agreement with her criticism.

It really is him. Mag’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly schooled his expression. This was the first prince Mag had once referred to as his comrade, yet he was also one of the masterminds behind the assassination three years ago.

Everyone had thought that Alex and the first prince were close friend and comrades, so he would definitely stand with the first prince against the second prince in the battle for the throne.

However, that was all in the past. As Sean rose up the ranks and began to tear through his own facade, revealing the swelling ambitions within his heart, the two of them diverged onto different paths.

“It’s the first prince!”

All of the passersby bowed toward Sean as a gesture of respect.

Ever since Alex had passed away, Sean had won many accolades during battles that had taken place on the border, and he gradually replaced Alex as the guardian deity of the Roth Empire.

In the past, his reputation in the heart of the general public was far inferior compared to Josh’s. However, he had won over the hearts of many people during the past two or three years, and his reputation was now at least comparable with Josh’s.

He was undoubtedly one of the beneficiaries of Alex’s death.

Sean nodded to acknowledge the passersby. Even though he was exuding a rather intimidating aura, he didn’t seem all that cold nor distant.

Looks like he’s doing everything he can to inherit the throne; he’s even learning to win over the general public like a wily old politician, Mag scoffed internally. He couldn’t be bothered to participate in the battle for the throne. Politics was far too complicated; cooking was much more fun.

However, he disliked both of the candidates who were in line to inherit the throne as it wouldn’t be good news for him regardless of which one became the king. As such, he was feeling quite conflicted.

Furthermore, it was quite bothersome for Mag that Irina had rushed out and killed this Black Berserker Rhino in such a spectacular fashion. He had thought that she would keep a low profile and attempt to be more inconspicuous, but it now appeared that the word “inconspicuous” didn’t even exist in her dictionary.

Their family of three had just reunited, and they were on the same horse-drawn carriage. It would be far too optimistic to hope that Sean wouldn’t suspect anything after seeing this.

Irina looked at Sean with a smile as she said, “I always prefer to beat the rampant pet along with the owner. Like owner, like pet; anyone who would release such an unruly creature has to be an uncouth ruffian themselves. I hope you can discipline your pets from now on. Otherwise, I won’t be holding back next time.”

“I’ll be sure to keep all of my pets on a tight leash after I return to my manor.” Sean’s expression remained calm as he turned to Mag with a smile, and said, “It’s quite a surprise to me that Princess Irina had already arrived in Rodu and is sitting on a horse-drawn carriage from the second prince’s manor. Who might this be? Are you a guest of Princess Irina’s?”

Sean’s eyes narrowed slightly as he examined Mag. He had just received news the day before that Josh had found a chef by the name of Mag, and was preparing to get this chef to cook for the king during this birthday banquet. Furthermore, this chef had a half-elf daughter who was around three to four years old.

Furthermore, the latest news from the Cheetahs informed him that Bertley, who had followed Louis to Chaos City, had disappeared due to reasons that were unknown thus far.

This string of events was far too suspicious to be a coincidence, which was why he had intentionally instructed the coach driver to crash into this carriage. He was hoping that this Mag would be sitting on the carriage so he would be able to see him in person. However, much to his surprise, Irina was also sitting on the same carriage.

He was a chef by the name of Mag who had a little half-elf daughter, and was traveling with Irina on the same horse-drawn carriage only a day after he had arrived in Rodu.

Was this all a coincidence?

Surely it was too much of a coincidence.

Sean didn’t believe for a single second that so many coincidences would befall a single person.

Mag’s heart sank slightly as he took in Sean’s expression. He had only just passed Josh’s test, yet Sean had popped up to administer another stern examination. It would be very difficult to erase Sean’s suspicions toward him now.

Right at this moment, Krassu emerged from the carriage and looked up at Sean with a smile as he asked, “Do I count as a guest as well, Sean?”

“Krassu!” Sean’s pupils contracted drastically upon seeing this. He was already quite stunned to find Irina on this carriage, and his surprise had been compounded even further by the emergence of Krassu.

However, Sean quickly recomposed himself as he smiled, and replied, “Greetings, Master Krassu. You’re naturally a guest as well, and quite an esteemed one at that. I heard that you had settled permanently in Chaos City; it’s quite a surprise to see you here in Rodu.”

“Who’s this Master Krassu? Why is even the first prince being so respectful to him?”

“You don’t even know who Master Krassu is? And you call yourself a citizen of the Roth Empire?”

“You should be ashamed of yourself! 50 years ago, Master Krassu was just as renowned as Master Alex was. Back then, even giant dragons had to adopt their human forms before entering through the city gates of Rodu. Otherwise, it was quite possible that they would be swatted down from the sky by a vicious staff to the head!”

“Even the current Magus Tower was founded by Master Krassu. Without him, the holy land for all magic casters wouldn’t even exist!”

All of the bystanders began to discuss spiritedly among themselves. Many of them wore excited expressions as they recounted Krassu’s legendary feats, and they looked as if they wanted nothing better than to express their awe and admiration for Krassu in person.

Krassu pursed his lips, and said, “I’m not a tree; I can go wherever I please. You’re not the king yet, but you’re already preparing to dictate terms on where I can and can’t go?”

Sean’s expression became even more cautious. Krassu held an extremely special status in the Roth Empire, one that was not inferior to that of Alex in his prime. The fact that he had left Rodu and cut all ties with the Magus Tower was undoubtedly fantastic news for Sean as it meant that Josh had lost an extremely powerful ally.

However, he had just emerged from Josh’s horse-drawn carriage, and he was clearly quite displeased. If he were to side with Josh again, that would spell disaster for Sean.

With that in mind, Sean hurriedly offered a smile as he replied, “I wouldn’t dare to dream of it, Master Krassu. You can go wherever you like on the Norland Continent.”

Krassu looked at Sean with a smile as he said, “In that case, it shouldn’t be an issue to you that I’m taking my prized disciple out for some food and having a chat for old times’ sake with Little Irina, right? Why are you trying to ram me to death with this big magic beast?”

Sean glanced at Mag and Amy before hurriedly shaking his head as he said, “This is all a misunderstanding, Master Krassu. I’ll be sure to hand down a severe punishment to this coach driver when I get back to my manor. I’ll come to visit you in person with a formal apology on another day, but I have important matters to attend to today, so I’ll be taking my leave now.”
