The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 18: Intent to Kill (1)

“Though my left arm is not fully recovered yet, I think I will be fine on the road,” the baron said. He completely drank the soup and stood up.

“I am leaving,” he said, “Angele, stay in the castle. Just don’t go out until I am back. Understood?” The baron looked at Angele.

“Yes, father.” Angele answered as he nodded in affirmation.

“Um… I think this trip will take me about half a month. The situation is terrible outside the territory. Wade, take good care of the castle.” The baron turned back and said to Wade.

“Don’t worry, I will protect the castle and Young Master Angele when you are out there,” Wade said.

The baron nodded his head and left the dining hall. His wives and children stood up and bowed to him until they could not hear his footsteps anymore. They sat down and started talking, the atmosphere becoming much more relaxed.

Angele sat on his seat, and it looked like he was thinking of something. He was actually looking at the baron’s body data Zero provided. The blue-colored information were presented in front of his eyes clearly.

“Karl Rio, analyzed 19 times. Body condition: Strength is around 2-4, Agility is around 3.4, and Stamina is around 3.9. Healthy. Attributes naturally increasing.” Zero reported. Angele smiled after seeing the report. ‘Healthy’ meant the baron had already fully recovered, but for some reason he was trying to hide it.

“Father’s arm was already fine, yet he pretended to still be injured. Maybe he realized something.” Angele thought. He felt relaxed now after knowing the truth. The baron was stronger than ordinary top level knights and was probably also stronger than some of the assassins from the Dark Emblem. However, assassins like Dice were experts of stealth combat; they might be able to win a fight against the baron in certain situations.

Angele started to eat again; he put a piece of fish into his mouth.

“I have finished my meal. Brother Angele, take your time.” One of the girl on the left side said and bowed to Angele. She had silk-like red hair.

“I am done, too.” A girl in black named Chia said, and she bowed to Angele. They left the table together.

Angele nodded and let them leave. The two girls were about 11 years old, and their mothers were the baron’s maids. They looked pretty cute, and the baron liked them. Their mothers were not maids anymore, so they were allowed to sit on the table. Though they were still not real nobles, but their position in the castle was higher than Maggie’s family.

People started to leave the dining hall after they finished their meals. Only Angele and some other teenagers remained after ten minutes, and he saw Celia was there too. She was sipping the thick, white fish soup, and she took a glance at Angele. Angele left the table after finishing his food, but someone stopped him before he left the dining hall.

“Brother Angele.” Celia said, her voice was cute and crispy.

“Yea?” Angele turned back and looked at her.

“I heard Maggie went to your room several times recently…” Celia walked towards Angele quickly and said; she was blushing.

“Well, is there anything wrong with that?” Angele asked. He did not touch Maggie at all, and even if he did, there was nothing wrong with it. It was a convenient way for smaller noble families to build relationships with noble families that were in higher positions.

“I was trying to wash myself in the bathroom, but the hot water there is not constant, and I am wondering if I could…” Celia said with a very faint voice. Angele smiled; he knew what was going on. In the castle, there was a special bathroom built for people like Angele, while the low rank peasants could only go to a large bathroom. In the large bathroom, there were some individual rooms built for people like Celia.
