Chapter 6
“I’m Damien, the principal of Temila . I’m delighted to have you here . ”
He was the man that she saw outside the window earlier . The folder that he was holding in his hand seemed to have been laid down on the desk . Archel gaze was glued on it .
[Admission Letter]
Archel was slightly stunned upon seeing the cover of the document . ‘Really? Admission?’
“…I’m Archel De Leire . And this is my brother, Michael De Leire, who will be entering the academy . ”
After saying her greeting, Archel turned her gaze toward Gael . Gael tilted his head slightly when their gaze met . He seemed to ask if she was bewildered because it was different from what she expected .
“Alright . Lady…please take a seat . ”
Demian, the principal of Temila, invited both of them to sit on the left side of the sofa and then sat down last . It was very hospitable treatment .
It was not something that the principal of a highly prestigious academy deserved to do, not to mention that it supposedly took months to get in touch with him . Besides, he wasn’t only contacted for contract signing . Considering the location of Temila Academy that was in the middle of the continent, it meant that he had departed as soon as he was contacted .
‘What on earth…’
Archel had no choice but to look at Gael again in a face full of dismay . He looked relaxed . Just like yesterday, he was seen lifting the teacup in an impeccably elegant manner . As if the name of the outlaw of the eastern sea belongs to others . At this very moment, he had completely transformed as the protector of eastern seas and eastern borders of the empire, the one and only Duke of Zenat .
“I’ve heard a lot from His Grace The Duke . Sir Michael said he’s willing to enter our academy . ”
‘Why the hell did you say that so politely?’
Even if Leire County belong to the prestigious families, the principal did not have to bow his head . However, there’s no reason to reject polite treatment . Archel looked back at Michael, but he was looking somewhere else . Neither looking at the admission letter or the principal of Temila, but at Gael .
Gael responded leisurely, not avoiding his glaring gaze at all .
“…?”
‘What is he doing?’
“Lady Archel?”
Then the principal carefully called Archel again . Archel, who came into her senses, answered his question .
“That’s right . Michael wanted to enter the magic department . ”
“I understand . ” There were no further questions . The principal immediately opened the admission letter and put something on it . Then he looked back at Michael, “Sir . Michael . ”
When his name was called, Michael looked at the principal . The principal addressed him politely although his opponent was a child .
“Have you ever used magic?”
At his question, Michael looked up at Archel as if seeking confirmation . Michael is now 13-years-old, and as the book stated, he has yet to show his magic talent .
“Am I going to be a wizard?” Michael asked Archel instead and completely ignoring the principal . The principal looked bewildered for a moment but then watched the two quietly .
Archel made eye contact with Michael as the thought swirled in her head .
‘I knew Michael’s future . No, I’m changing his future because I know Michael’s potential . ’

It was told in the book . Michael was able to become a genius wizard in the whole continent, one in a thousand years . Instead of holding and hugging his sister into his death as in the book, he will be able to find a new life .
‘But I couldn’t force him if he didn’t like it . ’
“If you don’t like it, you can choose other things . ”
“I’ll do it if my sister tells me to . ” Michael then turned his head . When he made eye contact, the principal lowered his head with a visibly reassuring expression .
“Sir Michael, have you ever used magic?” Michael shook his head at his question, “No . ”
The principal seemed to hesitate a little at his confident remark . But then he seemed to discern the matter right away . As the wizard career was prosperous, there were many who wanted to raise their children as wizards . He seemed to think that Michael was one of them .
“Then, Michael De Leire will be a freshman in the magic department of Temila Academy starting this semester . ”
He pushed the document to Archel . There are few empty signature slots and a pen was placed neatly next to it .
“Temila students are prohibited to meet outsiders until they graduate, except for certain periods of time . Of course, you cannot visit your mansion . ”
Michael was hesitating at his explanation, but Archel was already aware of that . Because in her mind, there’s no better place for Michael than that . A place that is completely desolate from the outside . Doesn’t it mean that it’s a place where people who want to covet the Leire’s legacy cannot even dare to reach out?
“I don’t want it then . ” But Michael seemed to be dissatisfied . Archel, who opened her eyes wide at his sudden remark, turned to Michael .
“Michael?”
He’s still young, is that why he doesn’t want to be separated from his family? It was when Archel looked at Michael, a low-voice rang from one side .

“Are you whining? A child is a child indeed . ” That was Gael’s voice . Michael and Archel’s eyes turned to him . Gael’s deep blue eyes were glued on Michael .
“Because of her foolish younger brother who doesn’t even know what his sister has to pay in return for sending him to the academy . It’s a waste of a marriage . ” He smiled sarcastically . It was a clear provocation . It almost felt like he was putting some emotion in it .
‘Why? Have you two ever met in my absence?’
‘But, was Gael Von Zenat such a free-man enough to feel attached to a 13-years-old?’ Archel was puzzled and shortly after her question was quickly answered .
“From the start, you’ve been glaring at me with fierce eyes . ” Tak-! Gael put down his cup and tilted his head, “So was it not a beast cub, but only a puppy?”
“ . . ”
Michael was silent . Instead, a small fist clenched tightly . Archel witnessed her brother’s unusual behavior in agape .
‘Michael, you glared at Gael?’
“If a puppy bites me, will I get scratched?” Gael took the pen next to the admission papers . He gave strength to his hand while supporting the center of the pen with his index finger .
*Scribble* A small sound resonated in the room . The pen was still intact, but if he put a little more force, the pen would surely break .
“If you want to dump your chance and stay as a puppy, that’s fine . Zenat doesn’t have a place for a puppy . ”
At his provocation, Michael pulled the paper roughly and placed it in front of him . Then he silently took the pen next to it .
“…Are you going to enter the academy?” The principal who was puzzled by what just happened, asked while wiping out his cold sweat . Michael nodded and signed . The name ‘Michael’ was written in neat handwriting .

Are you sure you’re okay? Archel looking alternatively between Michael and Gael . Those two would growling and refused to look at each other .
“Then please sign here . ” The principal’s voice still trembled because he was nervous . Archel looked at Michael again before signing for confirmation . His decision to enter the academy remained unchanged, Michael firmly nodded with his lips tightly closed .
“…”
*Scribble* the sound of a pen ran in the drawing-room once again .
[Guardian Archel De Leire]
It was when she had finished writing her name with the pen . The principal asked with a cautious voice .
“… . Please excuse my rudeness, but how should I know the relationship between The Duke of Zenat and the new student?”
Archel’s pen halted .
It was then .
At that time, Gael, who suddenly came to her side, inclined his head over her shoulder . Hot breath touched her ears . His hand covered her hand that held the pen and gently led her hand and crossed the name ‘De Leire’ on the paper .
[Guardian Archel Von Zenat]
Archel could only stare at the name in shock . Gael’s smooth voice rang in the drawing-room .
“He is my wife’s brother . ”
The principal’s eyes have grown wide too .
