The Echanting Duchess

Chapter 47: The Way Down the New Path

Inside the Fourth Tower's gathering hall.

Mistress Allieah already came back from the Fifth Tower after finishing her talk with the Master.

She wanted to stay longer but she didn't want to delay the Master with her own affairs.

Thus, Mistress Allieah could only listen attentively as the Master finished her nagging about some personal matters and constant reminders about the current affairs in the Kingdom of Hartize.

Now, she was currently seated at the head of the table, her seat a step higher than the rest.

There were eight wizards gathered around the circular table and seated in front of her.

Olivia was the one closest to her left and there was an empty seat closest to her right.

Everyone was in anticipation and glee as they finally got the chance to gather once again and speak with the Mistress.

After all, this kind of chance was truly rare given the busy and inconsistent schedule of the Mistress - in which they truly understand. It was just that they could not help but to feel like lost little lambs when they were not able to see the Mistress for too long.

It was shameful to admit that yet they were helpless about it.

However, this didn't mean that they were slacking off with their duties and responsibilities.

It was not the case and would never be.

After all, the First Blues were the elites of the Blue Ray Wizard Tower, personally and directly chosen and honed by the Mistress.

And their prestige and capabilities would always speak of their character and dignity, for it would always speak as well of how the Mistress was like as their master.

Looking at the lone and mystifying figure seated in front of them, everyone just could not hide their excitement as their eyes shone in delight.

Of course, this was clearly seen by the Mistress herself who was the subject of their affection and reverence.

Mistress Allieah could only sigh at the sight of her First Blues.

Sometimes she could not help but wonder whether these few elite wizards in front of her were serious enough with their lives.

Sweeping her penetrating and cold gaze from left to right, from one person to another, one could feel a chill run down their spine. Everyone subconsciously tensed up as they straightened their backs. They could not help but lower their heads as they let themselves be under the thorough scrutiny of the Mistress.

They were truly excited alright? It was just that they often forgot how scary and intimidating the Mistress actually was.

Even the closest one, Olivia, had to quietly gulp.

There was full and heavy silence in the air and the atmosphere was stifled.

Then, the melodious yet cold voice of the Mistress reverberated through like a sharp knife cutting through. "It seems like everyone is doing well."

Everyone sighed in relief. They did good and well this time.

"Mistress, we never slack off while you are away," said Olivia with a smile. This made the few heads nod enthusiastically in agreement.

"That is good to know. You shall all keep doing that," said Mistress Allieah, acknowledging everyone's effort in a curt way.

"Thank you, Mistress." Olivia started.

"Thank you, Mistress." Everyone followed after.

A faint smile rose from the corner of Mistress Allieah's charming lips. This was her generous response for everyone's dedication and hard work.
