The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 676: Stupid Future King

“Sigh... just after I told him to mind his manner. William, I told you to not make Roy your enemy. But you just straight up hitting on his girlfriend. I’m sorry everyone, he’s still lack many things,” old man Henry said.

So his name is William. Should I kill him? Right away?

Hearing that Sophie is my girlfriend, he only lets go of her hand and smiled confidently. Just where did that confident came from?

It’s good if he’s confident because he’s smart. But if he’s confident because he’s an idiot, I will veto old man Henry’s decision to make William as his successor.

“Ah, there’s a kid as well here. Here, I’ll give you some candies. Listen to your mom and don’t cause any trouble, okay? We’re having a serious meeting.”

This time, he thinks that Patricia is a young girl. That’s wrong. She’s the oldest human here. Older than old man Henry who is the oldest king in this room.

Patricia doesn’t like it how someone younger than her granddaughter called her a little kid. But she keeps her manner. Though she doesn’t know what to do but just accept the candies offered to her.

.....

The people that Yuria brought with her are obviously angry at how William treats their master level mage like that. But Yuria stopped her. She’s new here and she thinks that staying quiet is the best choice in this situation.

As I was about to lash out at him, he quickly move again and this time toward Julia.

“Oh, Julia! My expert level mage sister! The participant in the tournament who voluntarily lost her match to protect my father! The sister that I love the most! I’m glad to be here and meet you! Even though we’re family, it’s a very rare situation for us to meet! Let’s take a seat. Now, let’s start the discussion, shall we? What’s the topic for everyone to come here?” William then sat at the seat for the people from Varadis.

...He’s an idiot. He actually thinks that Julia gave up the tournament to protect old man Henry. But she actually lost fair and square. I can see that Julia is angry at him.

The others here except for those who came from Rygis sighed at his stupidity. I don’t even want to kill him anymore. How about humiliate him?

And it’s best for other countries if he’s the next king. This way, the other kings knows that Varadis’ future king is just a pushover. And William can only nod and obey next time they have a meeting once we humiliate him here.

After watching William’s rude manner, old man Henry whispered something that only I can hear.

“Sorry about that stupid boy. He didn’t even care about the tournament. During the tournament, he just spent his time with women he found. He’s actually really smart, but he’s too proud and lazy. Especially after knowing that Julia is an expert level mage. We’re here so the others can see if he’s worthy to be the next king or not. But I guess worthiness no longer matter. William will be used by the other kings for the rest of his life. But that’s fine. I already have someone suitable to be the Prime Minister. Just because he’s not a member of the royal family, he can’t be the king. So I actually feel jealous after hearing Rygis country that have the people decide their leader.”

That’s a long whisper. But I guess he has prepared for it. And I think the other kings except for Yuria already knows about William seeing how they smiled.

Though it seems like no one is interested in starting the discussion. I guess I’ll do it.

“Well, let’s start from the new member of the alliance. Patricia, I’d like you to be the spokesperson from Rygis,” I said to Patricia.

Although Yuria is the president, I need Patricia to introduce herself so William knows what he did wrong.

Patricia stands up and ready to speak. And I can see that William seems to be laughing seeing how a little girl is the representative of some unknown country. But his smile disappear soon after hearing Patricia’s introduction. And his expression turned into fear and despair.

“Nice to meet you all. I’m Patricia. A master level wind mage who is protecting Rygis. And some of you have guessed, and probably have heard of the news as well, becoming master level mage will gain longevity. We’re not immortal, but our growth will be slowed down. Although I look like this, I’m the oldest one here and I even have a granddaughter. Pleasure to meet you all.”

That’s what Patricia said. Everyone already expected that she’s the master level mage, but they never expect that Patricia would look that young. They must have thought that Patricia is another person that Yuria brought.

“M-master level mage?! No way! That can’t happen! She can’t be a master level mage!” William shouted angrily.

“Of course she can. And since I don’t think you notice it, most of the people here are expert level mage. Even the king of Arturo is an expert level mage. I know that you’re proud of your sister, but you made a lot of mistake just a few steps after entering this room. Including the fact that Yuria actually lost the tournament fair and square. Now that you know, mind your manner. We’re not here because Varadis is the top kingdom. So stop act stupid and learn how to be a king. Or you won’t know what will kill you.”

I put pressure on him. Not with Aura. Just a little bit of killing intent. And he’s scared shitless. Except the shitless part might be wrong. But I don’t want to make this place dirty so I remove my pressure before anything can come out.

“King Henry, congratulation on deciding your successor. I hope our kingdoms will be able to continue this friendly relationship in the future,” Fabio said. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Oh, they like it how the future king of Varadis seems easy. I guess his fate in international relation is decided. I’m sorry about the future of Varadis. I hope he can be a decent king for the people at least.

Now that William is afraid to even speak. I don’t think anything we say will be heard. But old man Henry is by his side and keep telling him to listen whenever he hang his head down. Good job, old man.

The topic is as we have said before. Introducing Rygis and the president. Including how the country works since the the other kings don’t know how a country without king works. Old man Henry is listening carefully here. But I don’t feel bad at William.

After that is the issue with spirits. I introduce Airy and Breezy who is with Kron. And I told them that there might be other spirits. Including other air spirits and other wind spirits.

“If they have just one spirit with them, there’s no doubt that there will be more master level mages coming. But if there’s only one type of elemental spirit, we can at least prepare countermeasure against that element. Roy, you have faced several master level mage already. What do you think?” Albert asked me.

“They have different element that has reached master level. So I don’t think that they only have one type of spirit. But if they can somehow get Magic Stones easily, they can still reach master level faster than ordinary people,” I said.

The deeper we got into discussion, the more William realizes the seriousness of the issues we’re talking about.

And then we move on to the next topic. Varadis’ next king.

“This is William. The one I chose as my successor,” old man Henry said.

That’s it. There’s no more introduction. And William is too afraid to even say anything anymore. His sister just sighed seeing him begging for help.

“You need to learn some manner, future king. Though I’ll try my best with all magic, Aura, and medical knowledge to make sure that old man Henry can still reign as the king for a few more decades. You’re similar to your father in that you’re seeking women. And even the former king of Arturo has a harem. But if you think that you can get away after flirting with my girlfriends, you’re wrong. Not only because I will hunt you down. But because most of them are at least as strong as your sister Julia. You understand?”

William nodded his head rapidly after hearing my threat. He’s still asking for his father and his sister’s help. But they both know that I’m not someone to mess with. There’s no way they would pick his side.

After that, we started talking about what more we learned from the cult. Lynn started it by saying that they joined the rebellion, but the rebellion is not instigated by the cult. Some cult members just joined the rebellion for different reason. Like wishing for violence. Or probably to speed things up in destroying the world.

Albert listened everything carefully so he can detect if someone is saying lies. And he also asks the others if they have recently got interact with anyone from the cult. He also asks William and he replied by saying that he never meet anyone from the cult.

Albert didn’t see any lies from his word so I guess he can be trusted for now. But Albert didn’t leak his ability to detect lies to other. Even to William. Because there’s no need for more people to learn about his ability.

For now, the future king of Varadis has been tamed. That’s the main goal of this discussion that even old man Henry acknowledge of.

Other thing is that we learned that William also willing to fight the cult. And it’s not because of my pressure. At least he’s smart enough to know who is the real enemy.
