Chapter 1018: King Wishes

While the female magus dismissed every guard who was present and took Klea away with her, as per order, Emery stared at the king wondering what the other party wanted to talk about to warrant such secrecy.

In all honesty, the fact he was being left alone with such a figure unnerved Emery a little.

The man glanced at him, and the next instant his two red eyes turned bright as if they were sun themselves. All of a sudden, Emery felt a formless pressure rapidly enveloped his body, cementing his whole body in place.

With great difficulty, Emery looked at the other party, only to feel as if the eyes could see everything inside of him. The bizarre sensation immediately sent chills down his spine and made his body subconsciously tremble, and an unfamiliar voice began to sound in his mind.

"Night… Day… Fey wolf…"

Emery could clearly perceive an aura of golden dragon covering the entire area, gazing at not just him but also the wolf inside of him. The feeling was so suffocating that it wasn't long before his breath seemed to have been cut off.

He felt a sensation like having his head submerged in water for a few seconds, before suddenly everything returned to normal. Emery had found himself returning to the balcony, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

When Emery looked at King Alduin again, his gaze no longer felt oppressive and became much friendlier than before.

"Now that I have seen you myself, I can see what Zach was talking about."

Emery couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the proud dragon speak of him, much less to a figure like King Alduin.

Oblivious to his thoughts, King Alduin continued his words. "To become one of the top ten acolytes in the privileged class, and to make a name for yourself in that cutthroat academy; on top of that, you also play a major part in exposing the rebel lurking within the half-blood ranks."

Turning to Emery, the king smiled. "Truly, you are an exemplary and proud example to the half-bloods."

Realizing that this moment was when he had to say something, Emery bowed slightly and opened his mouth. "I'm just trying to do what I think is right, my lord. As for the matter of the rebels… it was thanks to all the sacrifices the White Fang Clan had made."

King Alduin nodded his head hearing his words, as if agreeing to them. Then once again, he stared at him, this time with a serious look, and said, "I am here to inform you personally that the leader of the rebels, Lord Esbern, has been executed. This was done in secret."

He then paused for a moment, a look of regret showing on his face, before continuing, "Unfortunately, this matter has cost us too much."

Knowing that there was more, Emery quickly gathered his attention as the king began to explain.

"The damage has been done, and it was enormous. Because of this incident, many of our strongest fell. And with the leader of the Bloodline Institute himself rebelling, we – the half-bloods – now have much less credibility in the eyes of the Magus Alliance."

Emery was about to say something, but he noticed that the king had not finished his words, so he held back his words.

"Most importantly, the whereabouts of my good friend Lucius and teacher Altus are still unknown."

In that moment there, Emery could feel the change in the king's mood. What surprised Emery was the fact that the air in the surrounding area seemed to be affected by the other party's mood swings.

Fortunately, it only lasted a moment. After calming down his emotions, King Alduin turned towards Emery and said, "Just like Zach, I believe you'll play a vital part in the future of the half-bloods." Turning his gaze towards the city, he continued, "I hope that people like you will continue what we have been fighting for here."

At this moment, Emery felt the image he had of the King of the Zodiac City changed. In his mind, the man used to look very intimidating as he sat on his high throne. But today, he saw a different side of the man, and also probably the reason as to why he asked for the private chat.

After saying his expectations as well as hopes for the future of the half-blood race, King Alduin spoke a bit more about his dream of the half-bloods becoming strong and independent to the point where they didn't have to fear being judged and prejudiced because of their bloodline.

"That's all I wish to say to you, young wolf."

The king then said, "I originally wanted to reward you with our Legendary Bloodline Elixir for everything you have done, but to my dismay, it will not have any effect on your mutated bloodline. So tell me, young wolf. What sort of reward do you want?"

To be suddenly asked such a thing took Emery by surprise that for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.

Spirit stones? Artifacts? Spells? He couldn't think of anything he needed urgently.

It was at this moment that a thought popped into his mind, a rather outrageous one.

If he could really wish for anything, then couldn't he just ask the supreme magus to deal with the Kronos family? He could ask that, right?

Most probably not,

Seeing how quickly Emery's expression changed but still had not decided anything, King Alduin took something from his storage ring and threw it at Emery. Emery absentmindedly caught the object and looked at it.

It was a metal emblem with 12 engraved symbols of all bloodlines –[Emblem of the Zodiac].

Seeing the look Emery gave him, the king said, "If you need anything, you can show that emblem, and any member of the Zodiac City will assist you to the best of their ability."

Realizing how significant it was, Emery quickly expressed his gratitude to the man for the reward. Waving his hand, King Alduin turned around and said "Take care of yourself, young wolf." before leaving the place.

Moments after the king left, Klea returned with the female magus accompanying her. Curiosity was apparent on her face. "So… what did the king say to you?"

Before Emery could say anything, the female magus interrupted and handed him an object.

"This is…?" asked Emery in bewilderment, staring at the key in his hand.

Taking a few steps back, the sorceress lowered her head before saying, "Emery Ambrose, now that you are an esteemed member of the Zodiac City, the ownership for this villa is given to you. If you need anything else you can ask me. My name is Shena, and I have been assigned to attend to your needs."
