-Splash…!
"Wahh!"
I woke up with a startle, with cold water striking my face. And I was confused, very confused actually as I wiped the water off my face while looking around.
And what should I say… there were a lot of people in the room, which I recognized as my dwelling in Sunfish's Pond.
My father, Reynold Von Ellsworth, sat at the bedside. Despite being a Magus, he wasn't the highest ranked person in the room.
Wearing a white military uniform, cape and all, sat the Empress quietly observing me with her eyes glowing in seven colors. She stood out even when she was just sitting there, giving off the feeling that she was part of a different world.
Beside her sat another figure in a white hooded robe, I assumed he was an imperial Archmage. On the other side, sat the two Archmages of Ellsworth estate, Amy and Zuri, and beside them, on the far end sat Baron Marek.
Quite a solid lineup for a puny D ranked magic user like myself, I'd say.
