Chapter 516: I’ll Give You A Month
[Someone more powerful than His Eminence? No way! He is said to be the most powerful magician in all of Eliora. No, in the whole world.]
"No, Your Majesty."
"Indeed. If there was, that person would have been recruited to the Magic Tower already before they had a chance to apply for the selection. His Excellency had also ensured that none of that would happen. I believe he is known for his attention to detail and he truly did foresaw such things may happen, so he had asked His Eminence for help."
[What should I do?! I didn’t know His Excellency was the one who prepared the selection. Clarisse will get angry and scold me that I’m ruining her husband’s reputation. If she tells Father and Mother, I will be punished.]
’Oh, so they punish her. What kind of punishment do they give her? Her parents seem to be strict, yet she was also pampered. She seems more scared of them than me.’
"My apologies, Your Majesty. I didn’t know something like that was set up," Narcissa admitted.
"This why you should verify with your superiors first before doing something. If you had spoken to me or written to me about your suspicions, I could have enlightened you about these before you made a mistake. Accusing someone without proof is also very dangerous. This could have led to something so much bigger," Arabella reiterated.
Narcissa glanced down at her tea as she was scolded.
"His Excellency was also the one who gave me piles of profiles of exam passers which he deemed were qualified to work as my assistants. I chose from those profiles and the ones I have chosen were summoned to participate in the selection," Arabella added.
