Everyone was looking at Anton waiting for his answer to Ander’s questions regarding what came over him to blatantly show off his spell-casting ability causing panic to the inn’s customers.

“I saw from the waiter’s reactions to me earlier that everyone at the inn knew that I’m a wizard so I decided to cast some spell and then show that I was joking so they would know that I’m not one of those serious wizards who would be offended at the tiniest things and cast the most gruesome spell at those people who offends me,” Anton said.

“Instead of making sure everyone knows that you’re a friendly wizard, you did the opposite! As a consequence of your action, you’re not allowed to leave the inn today,” Anders snorted.

“Can we still leave the city,” Anna asked timidly.

“No! You will stay here as well and accompany your brother. Lunelle will come with us to help her mother and the guide your brother hired can stay here with you or leave,” Anders sternly said to his children.

“I’ll stay here with Anton,” Fenix softly said and Anders just ignored him.

Anton and Anna who were pouting were about to go upstairs to their suite followed by Fenix and Devon who would be their guard when a group of people followed by knights entered the inn. The group of people were dressed gaudily and the knights were obviously their guards.

The innkeeper met them and then Anton saw the man pointing at him. The gaudily dressed men then approached their group.

“May I ask if you are the wizard?” The fat man whom Anton could only assume was a noble asked.

“Yes, I am the wizard, Anton. How can I help you?”

The man was visibly shocked and Anton assumed that it was about his young age.

“The king is inviting you to dinner so he can converse about your reason for visiting our city,” The noble then gave a letter to Anton.

After Anton received the letter, the fat noble then left together with his retinue.

“The fat messenger, is that a noble?” Anton asked.

“That’s Baron DeClulen,” Fenix replied.

Anton murmured “Ooh a baron,” while opening the letter absentmindedly.

“Father, it says here that I’m being invited by the king later tonight. Can I not attend?”

“It’s another consequence of you showing off and we still need to stay here for at least a few more days so we have to attend!” Anders shouted.

“Of course I’ll follow you father, calm down. Maybe we can go in style! Let's all go there on a flying carpet!” Anton suggested and even Anna looked bright-eyed at the suggestion.

“What is wrong with you? Why do suddenly want to show off?!” Anders shouted again.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“I’m just kidding! Just kidding!” Anton said pacifying his father.

“I’ll go back to the merchant that I was talking to earlier and return here to join you in meeting the king. Don’t do anything ostentations before then okay!”

Anton just nodded while climbing the stairs to their suite. Anton noticed that the inn suddenly had several people sitting around just listening. He then thought that maybe they were spies but then again, he didn’t have any information worth spying on above. He just shrugged and then continued walking towards their room followed by his sister, Fenix, and Devon.

Anders and the rest went back outside the inn to continue with their business.

When they arrived at the suite, Anton sat on one of the chairs at the dining table and the rest of the group did the same.

“Can I join you when you meet the king later?” Fenix asked.

“Are you sure you want to join us? People would associate you with us and we don’t care since we’re leaving the city in a few days while you’ll remain here. There’s a chance that they’ll kidnap and torture you to know more about us,” Anton scared the kid although he was just joking.

Fenix then wore a worried look.

“Will they do that?!”

Anton laughed out loud.

“They probably would not but just to be safe, you should lie low once we leave the city.”

Anton then saw that his sister was listening while staring at Fenix.

“Are you not going to prepare the dress that you will wear when we meet the king,” Anton asked Anna.

Anna was then startled then suddenly rushed towards the room that she shared with Lunelle saying loudly that she would need to choose the best dress.

“Brother, once I choose the dress, I’m going to wear you will need to provide mana water for me to bathe in and please make it hot! I need to look my best. There’s a chance I’ll meet a prince then he will marry me and I’ll become a princess!”

“A princess! I thought you wanted to become a sorceress. I guess once some prince takes a fancy to you Father and I will just leave you here while we continue on our journey,” Anton joked.”

Anna gasped and then shouted at Anton. “I was just dreaming a bit! Don’t you dare leave me here!”

Everyone laughed at Anna’s shout but then she ignored them and entered her room to begin choosing the clothes she would wear later.

“Can you really fly?” Fenix suddenly asked Anton.

“Yes. Do you want to experience it? This room is big enough.”

“Yes, I want to. Do I need to do something?”

“No just stand there in the middle of the room. Remember, I’m not going to cast a spell that will allow you to fly. I will just pick you up with my power so I don’t know how it would feel to you.”

Devon was looking at them with interest. When Fenix was ready, Anton used Telekinesis and picked Fenix up from where he was standing then floated him around the room. The guide was laughing while he was floating around.

“How does it feel?” Devon asked Fenix.

“I’m not really flying by myself. It feels like I’m being cradled by something soft but strong then moved around the air. It was fun in a way like riding a makeshift cart that was running downhill very fast,” Fenix said.

Anton saw that his mana was still full even after controlling Fenix for several minutes. That meant that his mediation aura would be able to support the mana consumption of one person in the real world without any problem.

“Devon, can I float you around as well? I want to check if my mana would be able to support two people without any issues.”

Devon agreed so Anton picked his bodyguard up as well and floated him around. After a few minutes, Anton told the two men that he would join them as well to check if three people would not be a problem so the three of them floated around the suite like wingless butterflies.

Anton was happy to note that his mana was still all right since it was being restored to full again by his Meditation Aura even with him controlling himself and two others. Anna went outside her room and gaped when she saw them floating around.

“What’s happening!” Anna shouted.

“I’m testing my mana consumption while controlling three people. I need more for testing purposes so can I float you around as well?” Anton asked his sister.

Anna complied so Anton picked up his sister using his telekinesis and floated them around. His mana consumption was still stable and that made him very happy since that meant that he could pick a lot of people without the danger of any of them falling.
