Ion took out a ponytail from out of nowhere then fixed Ian's hair.
While I was still lost in my thoughts looked at them silently.
"Mom are you curious about the ponytail?" With his question I flinched.
"M-mom?" Ion smiled in response.
"You're going to be our mom right?" Ah is that what he means, but it feels really awkward. I'm asking myself am I being to rush with my decision's this days.
"Yes, but did you really have no guardian or a teacher?it seems like you two are a mage" if they really have no one who taught them then they might be a genius. And if they do have that'll be troublesome. And the possibility of him being an archmage is high. I should probably read more about mages.
But according to story the most powerful archmage that's alive is....
Ion while fixing Ian's hair brought his finger to his lips same with Ian.
Sensing something off I took the daggar out the box.
I reached out my hand towards the kids and ducked while holding the daggers.
Looking up there's an arrow in the back seat.
"Increase the speed!"I hurriedly ordered the couchman Infront of the carriage.
"Should we cast a barrier around the carriage" Ian asked.
"No" I answered the emotions in my face slowly faiding. It'll be troublesome if they cast a barrier magic and be misunderstood by the assassins. Cause they'll surely retreat and the other party would think I have a mage beside me or I myself is a mage.
In here using magic is forbidden for those who haven't registered. If you register you will receive a badge signifying that you are a mage of the empire. But there are still a lot of those who are not registered and those are either working underground or hiding their powers.
It is understandable to want to hide your power since if you get affiliated to the empire you will get shackles binding you until you die tho there are also benefits.
And the other thing is the greed of the aristocratic and noble families to get their more powers and factions powerful. They would be eyeing this talents especially those who have the ability at a very young age. Despicable bitches their greed is boundless.
They would usually use brainwashing magic to these children's and raise them as if they are raising pets. That is why the empire made magic towers to balance the power but the one who made the magic towers in the empire have the bloodline of royal family. he is the brother of one of the former emperor. Since he is the first Archmage but unfortunately died being betrayed by one of it's descendants.
And that made the relationship between the two got sour but never fought each other for the empires sake and to avoid bloodshed. And another reason is it is the will of the deceased.
And usually powerful mages would usually be forced to choose what faction to join. Since if you do not join any then both parties may turn to you.
Though for now it have been peaceful since the heir of the throne have not been decided. In the future the youngest magic tower owner leading the tower would interfeer the battle of throne supporting the main character for the throne.
Many Aristocratic factions did not agree to this since if he succed the balance between the royal family and the aristocratic and noble families would collapse making the royal family more prominent with the support of the magic tower which power would also rise.
But unfortunately the protagonist made a aristocratic faction without anyone noticing long ago.
"Never ever use your magic outside no matter what happens unless nobody sees you, you can use it you can even make a whole building explode as long as there is no witness understood." The two looked at her dumb founded but nodded. Did I say something wrong.
"We won't use it we will train swords"Ion smiled. So that's why they bought those that's a good idea.
As the carriges speed increased you can hear noises of people following us. Good thing we are already in the forest.
"But for now I need your magic. You don't have to engage into battle justprotect yourselves okay. I'm just going to have a bit of exercise. I said and equipped myself with the bow and put the daggers on my boots that I made and slightly cutting the dress so I can move freely.
"Ion apply some flight magic to me and a magic that makes my body more lighter."
Feeling better I jumped out of the moving carriage loading the bow and shooting before landing. There are five of them so far the four in good shape and one injured.
They followed me as I dashed towards the trees. I clicked my tounge as I jumped over one of the trees disappearing from there sight and shot an arrow.
Looking at one of there comrades fall Castor cursed in his mind. The information given to them was completely false how can someone who just opened her eyes from coma have this abilities.
Four of them movex away from the scene and headed towards where the arrow came from. Reaching their destination cold sweat covered their face she is already gone.
"Aarghhh"
"Fuck it's flight magic" having another one of them fall they all looked up and there they saw a girl looking down at them with dead eyes contradicting her eyes her lips are grinning.
Fuck he cursed continuously in his mind as he ran leaving the two who was shot in the legs. And looking closely at the arrows it had paralysis poison. Unlike the normal arrows she used at first.
Sensing the girl following him he took out the teleportation scroll and ripped it. Awhile ago they planted teleportation mark at the girls carriage incase. 'Who knew this would come in handy I can just take care of those kids the girl was and use the carriage to escape.' He thought and looked at the two kids infront of him sitting at the opposite chair of the carriage.
He was covered in cold sweat as he looked at the two. They are both smiling while there eyes are fierce. The temperature inside the carriage seemed to have dropped to a certain degree. The silver and red eyes of the two kids shone fircely accompanied by their innocent smile while sitting in a straight posture making him more afraid.
There's only one thing going in his mind "I'm gonna die I need to move!" Unfortunately his body won't move as if paralyzed.
"Sorry for the late greetings our dear guest I am Cimmerian nice to meet you"
"Greeting dear guest nice to meet you I am Zion"
