The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 316

"Did you cause trouble again yesterday?" Mariela asked coolly as she led the way.

"No trouble at all."

"Do you blush when you say that?"

"Some sought trouble with me. I was merely defending myself."

"Did you have to slap them? The commotion has upset many Elders."

"Have those Elders ever been pleased with me? I prefer to act decisively, letting actions speak where words fail."

Eyla giggled delightfully, drawing close to Alavin and giving him a flirtatious wink. Their temperaments matched so well.

"What is your mentor's stance on this?" Alavin inquired, keeping pace with Mariela.

"He will not harm you—that much is certain. As for his exact stance, that will depend on your performance. Let me remind you, he does not share the biases of the other Elders. Be courteous."

"Of course, 'do no harm unless harmed' is my philosophy," Alavin whispered to Eyla. "If I'm captured or killed, spread the word after you leave that the Kings' Acceptance has been detained by Cobalt Strike."

"First to Bloodlore, then to all of the Northlands."

"Agreed!"

"It's settled then."

"Alright."

"If you die, I'll die of heartbreak."
