648. The World Isn't Kind

While Aurora was shocked by how smart the little girl was, the fifth-ranked boy was present in the same kingdom. However, this one was different, as he lived in extreme luxury yet had a kind nature and empathy towards others. His belief in the faith of Solis was unquestionable, and his bond with the Pope was personal. 

"Bwahaha! Take him. I don't care as long as the Pope teaches him," bellowed King Atrox of Highland in laughter. 

In his private chamber stood Saint Elyon with the results and a letter from Sylvester. 

"Prince Rex was found to have scored one-eighty, but when we adjusted it to fit the criteria of his age group, it was amended to two hundred and thirty. Prince Rex is quite gifted, and His Holiness believes it's likely due to both his parents being Grand Wizards." Elyon explained that this particular case was different from the rest. The boy was the next King of a Kingdom and likely gifted in magic.
