Aelius stated, "We have come to recruit you for the position of Royal Mage of the Sun Kingdom."
"Don't want to go," the guy stated flatly, leaving Aelius and Julius to wonder, "Why would he reject such an offer when many magicians would kill each other just to get that post?"
"Why?" Aelius inquired.
"Many reasons exist: I will have to swear my loyalty to you in order to be appointed Royal Mage, and I would prefer freedom to be bound to the Throne like this man (he pointed towards Julius), and even if I join you hypothetically, what will I become, a nanny who will teach magic to your children in the future? I'd rather study magic in my castle over here," the man without batting an eye.
