The Unwanted Royal Summon

Start from the beginning
                                    

Other than that,the news alarmed them quite a bit.If it is a royal summon,they would have no way to decline it.All magicians or magic users are required to register,regardless whether they work for the royals or not.It is can be said that Arius and Emrys indeed registered a few years ago.A registered magician have more hopes to get a decent job at the capital or more popular towns in the region.

They have no interest to work for the royal family but they do wish to gain more stable job in the future.Lucas has no interest in registering,as he is content to live without being bound by unnecessary rules.In his defence,he has registered despite a few hundreds years ago.So his registration is not valid anymore.

It was a common occurrence for the descendants of the royal family to be born with massive mana.Even though it has decreased considerably after Emperor Aeternitas's reign,the royalty's magic is still considered to be one of the most powerful in the continent.And Lucas suspected it has rise again in his children.

It went without saying that Athanasia was born with a huge amount of magic.In fact,it gave birth to a magical beast,Blackie,in order to keep the excess mana.The beast had been the reason for the two meeting each other in the past.Now,it can be seen napping the day away at their backyard.

Born between a princess with a huge amount of mana and the powerful Magician of Black Tower,it was inevitable that their children's mana is simply massive.The older twins wandered at the back of their home,where their and their sisters own respective magical beasts frolicked out of sight with each other.All of them simply love playing around with Blackie.Lucas stated that he doesn't need to go to the World Tree to replenish his mana as his wife and children's excess mana can sustain him the same amount of a fruit of the sacred tree.By that way,he can keep their mana from spiraling out of control and maintain his own.Killing two birds with one stone.

"Even the royal magicians cannot cure His Majesty,anymore.I heard that they can't even determined the cause.That's why the princess resorts to summon all the registered magicians in the empire," explained Mr.Cadoc while observing the two behind the counter.Both of them obviously nervous to the news.Arius's hands trembled while holding a glass and Emrys visibly becoming increasingly sweaty.

"It is said that all the registered magician's attendance is mandatory."

Damn.

"Those who refused to obey will be sentenced to a severe penalty."

Double damn.

"I think they said it probably can lead to a death sentence."

Shit.

Arius and Emrys continued to work with a gloomy and dark expressions through the night as if a heavy black cloud was hovering over them.Their solemn face startled their admirers as the two is known for their friendly manners but it also excited them.Gushing about 'a blank blonde prince' and 'a depressed handsome black wolf'.The twins ignored them,too absorbed with their thoughts.

The next morning,both of them was greeted with the crying face of their mother and their father's worried face when they woke up.His lips stretched into a thin line as he gazed at his older children.

On the table,two letters with the empire's royal seal was addressed to the both of them.

To honourable magician Sir Arius Glemt/Sir Emrys Glemt,

You are hereby summoned by the princess,Her Highness Jennette de Alger Obelia to the capital city of the Obelian Empire to give you a chance to cure His Majesty the Emperor,Claude de Alger Obelia,who in present is not in good health.

We look forward to your cooperation to bring glory to the empire once more.

The brothers look at each other.Their thoughts once more synchronised.

Fuck.
