The Male Lead isn't Following the Script!

"You... Dimitri, what about the Mage Tower?"

Dimitri raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about it?"

Adeline looked at the ground for a second in defeat. He has no intention of going there, does he?

The whole reason why he went there in the first place was because of the mistreatment of refugees in the Empire. The only place he could flee to was the Mage Tower, no one would teach him magic in the Empire.

The Mage Tower was his last resort and magic was his only salvation.

But now, a lot of things have changed. Adeline had to admit it changed for the better. She helped a lot of people, she saved Dimitri from so much trauma... But what now?

Maybe she could convince him.

She raised her head, meeting Dimitri’s curious gaze. "The Mage Tower... it’s an incredible place, Dimitri. With your talent, you’d do so well there! You’d be able to learn magic at a level you can’t even imagine."

Dimitri frowned. Her words had an effect, but not the one she intended. "Why do you want me to go there, Adeline?" he asked, "It’s so far from the Empire... and I heard the trials to get in are dangerous. Do you want me to leave?"

Adeline realised that he had taken it in the wrong way.

She hadn’t considered that he might interpret her encouragement as a wish for him to go away. That was the last thing she wanted.
