Chapter 92 The Queen [Part 2]
Roman could tell by the look on the Queen’s face that she didn’t like what he was saying. Her eyes were cold, but her expression calm.
He knew the offer was generous—he could stay in the palace and be trained by one of the most powerful mages in the kingdom.
That training would make him stronger, no doubt. He could master flame spells to perfection but that wasn’t enough for him.
He didn’t want to be limited. With his skill, he had the potential to learn every kind of magic that exists, not just flames and if he was going to face the Demon Lord in the future, he needed everything.
"I still want to attend the academy," Roman said clearly, his voice steady.
The room went quiet for a moment.
One of the Queen’s advisors frowned and leaned forward. "I don’t think you understand what’s truly at stake here," the woman said, her voice sharp. "The demon army has been quiet for too long. They’re not gone—they’re preparing. They’ve been sending small groups, minor threats, just enough to distract us. But the real attack is coming."
She paused to let that sink in.
"When it begins... it’ll be an all-out war, one that humanity might not survive. That’s why we need to secure the future now."
Roman’s eyes narrowed. "So you think keeping me in the palace and having me sleep with females all day is securing the future? I’m sure there are plenty of males who would love that offer. But I’m not just any male."
The room tensed as Roman spoke.
