Chapter 558 - 13.56
Three days after Jean’s seventeenth birthday celebration, a letter came to the Palace of Eau Saumont. Archduke Maximillien checked the sender and frowned when he saw that it was actually an invitation for Little Jean to enter the prestigious La Fleur Academy.
Maximillien called Jean, who was sunbathing in his office balcony like no other, "Jean, come here."
"Yes, Big brother?"
Jean tucked his shirt as he entered Maximillien’s office.
Maximillien could see Jean’s chest when Jean was still buttoning the shirt after sunbathing, and he looked away immediately, "Wear your shirt properly! Why are you sunbathing in my office anyway?!"
"That’s because your office is the best place to get morning sun!" Jean replied. He sat on the sofa and then asked, "What is it, Big brother?"
"There is an invitation for you to join La Fleur Academy. If you’re ready with your magic aptitude, then you should join as soon as possible. You’ll receive adequate training with your magic and academic knowledge about everything. Since I know you haven’t done the homework I gave you yesterday."
Jean stiffened once his Big brother talked about homework or assignment. Because Jean never liked studying or doing assignments, so he just skipped it most of the time. He didn’t even listen to his Big brother’s scolding.
"Besides, you need the Elder Magus to observe the unique magic that you have," Maximillien added.
"Okay, I will take the test!" Jean nodded excitedly. He had wanted to leave the Palace of Eau Saumont since he reached the teenage age. Not because he hated it here, but he also wanted to explore more and meet more people, more friends!
Maximillien was somehow annoyed by Jean’s enthusiasm, "Are you really that eager to leave the palace? Did I ever mistreat you?"
