27 Return to the Frigus dynasty

  So Abbarang joined a group of assassins hired to take out the ruler of the Arcane kingdom, and you came pretty close to fulfilling that task?

  Yes my king, we have discovered her weakness.

  Removing the head of the empire could cause political unrest that would destabilise the entire empire, at the very least delaying their invasion by a few years, allowing us vital time to prepare. the king's top general and advisor says.

  Very well then, we will fund your next assassination attempt. You can discuss the details with my lead general and advisor, general Strastenburg. Follow me outside to the barracks.

  I am amazed your party managed to make it so close to the leader of the Arcana forces, we have sent many assassins their way. Most of them end up disappearing, instead we had been shifting our focus towards removing their generals. But this proves to be a difficult task, since most of them are powerful demons, very capable of defending themselves. And of course they are on high alert.

  As they walk by a camp of shield-bearers, general Strastenburg picks up one of their shields.

  This here are our new magic resistant shields, reinforced with pyrite. They will be incredibly important in the upcoming battles.

  You will have to travel to the Aspara kingdom. We are requesting an alliance with the kingdom of the valkyrie. Although they are small in number, they are said to be incredibly powerful warriors.

  From there you will have to decide the best way to infiltrate their ranks to assassinate Misanthria.

  What else can we supply you with?

  Kilian thinks for a short while. I heard that the army has been successfully training frost mages. Since we are forced to subdue Misanthria, an ice-mage could be very useful on our side.

  That is true. But the program is still in its very early stages. We have only started deciphering the ancient magic books and scrolls recently, and besides that we rely on the information we have obtained about such magicks from the Arcana forces. Even our strongest mages pale in comparison to the power their mages have.

  They make their way to a large classroom where a group of about 50 students sit and an old ice-wizard is lecturing them about frost magicks.

  General Strastenburg, it is an honor to have you visit our class, the wizard says, then he takes a deep bow.

  Our apologies for interrupting your class.

  The strongest ice-mage is grand wizard Meadown, he has important duties to attend here. However, we can send the best student to join you.

  Grand wizard Meadow, who is currently your best student?

  That would be a tie I'm afraid, these two are my top students.

  Two twins in the front row stand up.

  This here is Fuki and this here is Lumi. They have already mastered the spells ice wall, frost-bolt and icicle rain. Most of their peers have barely mastered frost bolt. They are currently working on mastering frost ray and mist, utility spells. They have a natural talent for frost magicks that would make many a person jealous. They come from the Glacies republic and also have more experience with frost magic than anyone else, as the practice of magic was legalized there several years ago. They also help with instructing the rest of class.

  Excuse me grand wizard Meadown, I'd like to speak to these apprentices in private.

  Of course, go ahead.

  They step into the hallway and close the door.

  Would you two be willing to serve your people on an infiltration mission?

  Yes of course, I wouldn't mind going on an adventure! Lumi says excitedly, ready to leave that very instant.

  I would like to too, Fuki shows more hesitance, yet also agrees.
