The Only Aura User In Magic World-Chapter 834 - Parade

834 Parade

The appearance of a master level mage is not something that the people know. Most would expect that mages at most can reach expert level as master level is regarded as myth. But no one would imagine that a member of royalty will one day reach master level.

We never told anyone that there are actually a lot of master level mages. People never know about that because we keep it as secret.

Because if we leak that secret and people learn that the cult has master level mages, then they will fall into despair. After all, the common sense of this world is that master level mages are the strongest. Probably, everyone is thinking that they are much stronger than even Angela who won the tournament.

By the way, the second tournament is already planned in a year or two. And after that, it will goes on annually at least. With each country has their own way of selecting the mages who will participate.

I don’t know if Angela and the others will participate or not. But if they just say that they want to, I’m sure Albert will give them the opening spots right away.

Anyway, we’re about to celebrate Shirley’s achievement of reaching master level.

People will think that she’s the first master level mage after so long. And they even thought that master level mages are just myth. So they must be really shocked. And happy at the same time.

They prepared a parade. To let everyone knows that the princess is someone who has reached master level.

Do we really need to make it this big?

.....

Well, Albert said that they do. Because of the danger after the cult hasn’t made any big move at all.

The danger doesn’t come from the cult. But it’s from inside the kingdom. Other nobles who think of having a coup.

“A coup? There shouldn’t be anything like that in my past life. Though maybe I just didn’t really care about it so I never heard of it. Maybe it doesn’t affect Cassau at all at the time. Or that you are too tough on everyone after Marie fallen sick so no one dares to pick a fight against you.”

I said that to Albert when he asked me if there was any coup at all in my past life.

But seriously, a coup when the cult is not destroyed completely? The nobles who think of that must be living a peaceful lives without ever getting directly involved with the war. So when there’s no battle at all, they think that we’re just being paranoid after the cult is gone.

But no. The cult isn’t gone yet. So why do they plan a coup? What part of this kingdom that dissatisfied them so much that they even think about it?

“Actually, some of them didn’t really want to do it. So they contacted me in secret. You know, we haven’t really spread the phones to everyone. So they send letters via messenger birds. But if we spread the phones, then those people who is planning for the coup will even ask someone far away for support. So it’s good that we don’t spread it yet,” Albert said.

Yeah. Phone is the most dangerous invention ever created. We already learned how amazing long distance communication when we used Sonia as our messengers before. But with phones, it’s much easier. And it’s much dangerous since people can talk with each other no matter how far they are.

So if they learned our weakness, they can report it to someone in an instant. That’s what we don’t want. So we haven’t spread the use of the phone yet.

“Because of that, if we made a show that Shirley has reached master level, I’m sure that there won’t be anyone who dares thinking of planning a coup if they don’t have a master level mage with them. Though I’m worried that there will be many people asking me to let them marry Shirley. But that’s okay. I’ll just say that she’s too strong for me and I can’t force her to do what I say. Or we will lose our strongest guardian,” Albert said.

Oh, that’s right. I think Shirley is still single. I’m sure there will be many people who wants her hand in marriage.

Well, that doesn’t matter to me. Shirley can pick any partner she wants. And those who were planning for the coup will have no choice but to forget everything. Because Shirley is too strong.

Though she’s not the strongest yet. I think she’s almost equal in strength with Wendy. But well, both of them are loyal to Tatrama. So if people learned that someone else reached master level, there will only be fear in their eyes.

‘What coup? I never heard of it,’ Is probably what they all will say when asked. Pretending to not know. 𝐟𝒓𝚎𝘦we𝐛𝐧𝐨vℯ𝚕. c𝘰ｍ

The parade started. It’s just around the royal capital and back to the palace.

I’m sure no one believed that Shirley reached master level. But she showed some magic that normal expert level mages can’t do. And that’s enough for everyone to believe.

As for me, I was assigned as a hidden bodyguard among the masses. Finding someone who tries to harm Albert and the others, then kill them and take them away to somewhere without anyone noticing.

As for Shirley, even if someone is targeting her lives, as long as they are not master level mages, they can’t do anything to her.

There are other people helping me. Apparently, there are too many people wanted to harm Albert.

He’s riding his horse instead of being in a carriage. I guess to show how amazing his horse look.

And not just him. The troop under Mustache are all riding horses. And Shirley herself is riding a pegasus. Though she doesn’t have her own horse at all. And she doesn’t need a pegasus since she can fly. It’s just for show.

After the invention of phones, Mustache got a lot of free time. Because Albert can just contact him or me when he’s in danger. So he can sent someone else as Albert’s bodyguard while he’s improving his troop’s strength. The Flamboyant Mustache troop.

Well, maybe that’s not the real name. But I don’t care.

There are many people who asked to test Shirley’s strength. But they stopped after hearing that Shirley will accept challenges from anyone in the next few days. They can test Shirley’s strength there.

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be anyone else trying to harm the others. I even had to kill fifteen people already in the span of thirty minutes. Whether they are from the cult, or someone who used to plan the coup, or even someone else entirely, I just kill them.

And beside me is Veronica who is also taking the job.

“Hey, I thought that it would be either you or Celestine who reached master level first knowing that you were already expert level mages when we met,” I said to Veronica.

“Well, Celestine is busy, I guess. And after reuniting with Lynn, I guess they have a lot to talk about to catch up with each other. Then she’s busy since she’s the Empress’ sister. As for me, I’m just lazier than others,” Veronica said.

“No, you’re not lazy. When I see you in your room, I can tell that you’re cultivating. There must be a reason why you haven’t reached master level yet,” I said.

She said that she’s lazy. But she’s the most hardworking. At least in meditating.

“Maybe I need real life experience first. I have to fight more. Though I don’t really care about getting stronger. I enjoyed my life now that I’m out of the cult. But if there’s a fight, I will still help,” Veronica said.

“You don’t have to join the fight if you don’t want to,” I said.

“No, I’ll fight. I just don’t care about getting stronger. Especially since everyone is slowly becoming stronger than me even though I was one of the first expert level mages who joined you. I’m just happy about it.”

If that’s what Wendy thinks, then it’s fine. Maybe she’s meditating not to improve her strength. Even though I often watched her doing it, it doesn’t mean that she always do it. Maybe I only caught her doing it when I’m at home. And I always go out too often.

It’s a shame that one of the potentially strongest wind mage refused to get stronger. But that’s fine. That’s what she decided.

“Okay. But if you decided to breakthrough to master level, then call me. I’ll protect you,” I said.

“I’m sure you will. If there’s no other suspicious people, then bring me home already,” Veronica said.

If she doesn’t want to be here, then why is she here? She has saved a lot of money just by taking requests as a Hunter. So she doesn’t really need money. But she’s stil taking this job of protecting everyone during the parade.

It looks like she’s just bored staying in her room or playing with the orphans all the time. So she took a time off here. And she got bored here already.

From all the people in the group, she’s the one I don’t really get. But if she says she’s okay, then that’s fine with me.
