Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4229

Chapter 4229: The Importance of Timing (Part 2)

The Divine Beasts’ beauty, clothes, jewels, and magical artifacts were a sight to behold.

Most noble guests were so enraptured by the spectacle that they wouldn’t have noticed the passage of time if not for the nagging of their stagecoach companions to pass the opera glasses.

Zekell had sent only one per invite, turning the initially useless gift into a prized possession that would remain etched in the memory of his future clients.

"This is one of those few times that being an important figure is annoying." Milea Genys, the Magic Empress of the Gorgon Empire, sighed. "Look at all those lizards entering before us while my bottom gets flatter by the second."

"That’s because they don’t care about getting announced by the valet and because keeping a bunch of Divine Beasts waiting in a long line is a recipe for disaster." Kelia Genys, Miela’s adoptive daughter and Horseman of Dusk, replied.

"If Dragons and Phoenixes start to squabble, this gala will go down in history for all the wrong reasons."

The soldiers of the honor guard patrolling the Mansion finally came to unseal the door of the Empress’s stagecoach, allowing her to stretch her slender legs.

"It’s already bad that I had to wait this long." She grunted. "Walking out of this wooden relic instead of a sparkly DoLorean makes it worse. The Royals entering after me just adds insult to the injury."

"Don’t think about it." Kelia replied as she descended from the stagecoach. "Come on, let’s not keep everyone waiting."

"You are right. I can’t let envy ruin the mood of this night. At least until I get my hands on Leegaain!" Milea still believed Lith to be one of the Guardian’s sons and resented Leegaain for not restricting his love affairs to the Empire.

"Attacking him in front of Shargein would be a bad idea." Kelia chuckled at the idea. "Even if he can’t put so much as a scratch on you, if you make him cry, your remains will fit in a bowl."

"Don’t remind me of that." Milea sighed. "Still, I feel sorry for the poor Raldarak."

"What do you mean?" Kelia had never thought she would hear the words "poor" and "Raldarak" in the same sentence.

"Well, his father is a Magus and the first of his species, while his sister is not only the firstborn, but she also has all elemental streaks in her hair. That poor boy will never escape their shadows."

"Oh, that." Kelia cleared her throat, avoiding Milea’s gaze.

She lived with the Verhens and played with the baby every day after she was done studying, but she had sworn never to disclose anything about his appearance or abilities.

"What do you mean, oh that?" The Empress asked. "Sure, Raldarak is born with six wings, but Elysia and Lith will soon develop them as well. As for the elemental eyes, they have no practical value.

"Raldarak will spend his life being compared to his father and sister, and unless he demonstrates a unique talent or genius, he will always be found wanting.

"When, in a few years, he realizes it, Raldarak might turn into a jerk if the issue isn’t handled properly."

"I guess you are right." Kelia could say nothing, so she said nothing.

’I wonder how Milea would react if I told her about the babies’ stable Mirror Magic.’ She thought.

After the Empress, it was the turn of the Royals. They came out of the DoLorean, nodding at the Divine Beasts of the honor guard as a thank you.
