"In the end I need you in the siege plan this time," Mavis said calmly after sipping a cup of his drink. He glanced for a moment at the arrival of the group of Akio who slowly emerged from under the stairs.
A strange man who is slightly attached to Mavis' memory. It didn't take long for him to guess the true identity of the middle-aged man. Honestly, Mavis was a little surprised at first by the change.
He must be Keith.
Keith, who was once a thin man and also slum, has now really transformed into a man who is so charming. He felt so alive compared to the last time Mavis saw him in the southern border region of the Srivijaya Kingdom. All of this must have been thanks to the potion Lily had left behind, according to what Mavis had asked for.
Herbs are made from extracting rare ingredients, also devoted to providing a recovery effect from any injury in the body.
If you remember, the man was so impulsive when he first came before him. With her body damaged and having nothing, she reluctantly makes a firm plea to Mavis to help her find the princess from the kingdom she came from.
Yes, the kingdom that was meant was this Yukhiro kingdom.
"Greetings Mr." The man immediately took a half- prostrate position with his radiant face. "Here I want to say a lot of thanks because all this time the Master has been taking very good care of the Princess. Besides, sorry for the inconvenience with my previous rude attitude."
Mavis nodded slowly and exhaled.
"Stand."
"There is no need to talk about unnecessary little things, after all I am not a narrow-minded person. At that moment I understood your anxiety. You came up with a story, it's just that my condition didn't allow me to help, while I had a lot to prepare for."
"And as for Zahard, you don't have to thank him because I've considered him my own student."
"Although I remain indebted and I have sworn to serve you from now on" Keith said.
"Well, I'm not going to forbid you from serving me or anything, whatever. However, before you regret it later on, I want to set the record straight for the condition that I will take over this power, not to help Zahard regain his position."
Keith was stunned and speechless for a moment. Unlike what he had in mind, he initially thought Mavis would help the princess to regain the throne she was supposed to have.
Keith did not know what to respond to Mavis' words with, before Zahard finally stepped forward and expressed his opinion before all.
"I-I don't need it, sir!" As soon as Zahard said with his slightly trembling voice, he basically interjected in the middle of the conversation between Mavis as well as Keith. "No matter who my identity really is, one thing I accept and I believe that the current Zahard is your disciple, Master! As long as I can be with Mister, I have no problem with the others."
Keith widened his eyes, but soon followed by a smile that was so fair and deep.
"I'll take care of it, there's nothing to worry about. Also, you have to let it go. From now on there is no longer a princess, she is the one in sight. You should treat him as my disciple" said Mavis.
"Okay sir, I'll remember it."
After all the matters concerning the whereabouts of Zahard and Keith were completed, Mavis then gave directions on the course of the plan to all of those present. Starting from the division of two teams where one aims to attract the attention of the soldiers and adventurers, while the first team takes over the duties within the royal mansion.
"To go to take over the front gate must be Akio, Giraldo, and also the additional Hawk group that will follow. The rest will go with me into the main building."
"Giraldo, you take care of the guards not to go inside. Once the first team gets in, you can start blocking the way."
"Luna and Isabella, you're both in charge of paving the way."
"Buster, continue to activate your vision to keep an eye on the coordinates of the high-level adventurers and the soldiers inside."
"The main team is moving straight towards the meeting hall."
"If it is in accordance with what Hawk's group reported, the Moon and the Stars, you will both be tasked with handling the four red-planned adventurers. Ivar and Momongan, I think you're quite capable of taking care of one of the rest."
"What about me, sir?" Mikaela asked as Mavis stopped giving instructions.
"You?"
Mavis circulated her gaze and saw those who had not yet been named.
"My gut feeling is that something unexpected is going to happen there, not sure. Clearly, your job is to clean it up."
"Good, Sir."
"Master can count on us."
"Understand."
