Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 48 What Happened?

Aaron nodded as he held his head down. He was embarrassed. Now that he thinks back, his arrogance was useless, and it only made him look foolish.

"Good. One should know their deficiencies and work to eliminate them. Here, this is your reward." The crimson monarch flicked his finger, and a thumb-sized green crystal bead flew toward him.

"Just like my crimson slayer, this is also a powerful emperor artefact which I acquired after killing one of my enemies. Use it well." The crimson monarch commented.

When Aaron saw that it was only a crystal bead, he was disappointed, but after hearing that it had equal value to his crimson slayer and was an emperor artefact, he was so happy that he wanted to shout because even in his kingdom, there was only one Emperor artefact.

But when he caught it, his expression changed to become one of shock. Even though he was sure that no emperor artefact would be useless and would have great value, he didn\'t expect to get such a great treasure. He quickly collected himself and bowed. "Thank you, Senior."

The crimson monarch nodded and then said, "Okay, now you guys should go."

"Go? But he hasn\'t received his reward yet." Schwartz pointed at Max and asked. But before he could say anything more, their altars glowed, and Aaron, Black Reaper and He disappeared from the cave.

Max thought he was also going to be teleported out, but he was still in the cave along with Margaret. He looked at the crimson monarch with confusion.

The monarch glanced at him and grinned. "Did you think I would send you out without giving you your reward?" He paused and then said, "Don\'t worry, kid, I just sent them out because I didn\'t want to let them know what I gave you."

Margaret looked at him in confusion and asked, "Senior monarch, if that was the case, then why didn\'t you send me out along with them?"

"Little lady, how could I send you out when I still haven\'t passed my legacy to you. And I don\'t believe you would harm him because of the reward I would give him because you will have the same things as him." The crimson monarch smiled.

"You mean he would also get your \'Crimson dragon spell\'?" Margaret asked in surprise.

The crimson monarch nodded and looked toward him as he asked, "Little boy, do you want to inherit my legacy?"

Max was dazed for a while as he did not expect him to receive his legacy, but he didn\'t directly agree. instead, he asked, "Senior, may I know why I\'m also eligible?"

The crimson monarch was surprised to hear his question but smiled after thinking about something, and Margaret finally looked toward Max. In her opinion, Most Men are too greedy and want everything without working for it themselves. But Max proved her wrong as he didn\'t agree as she thought he would.

"It\'s because among all the successors, you have the highest affinity, and your performance during the second trial is way better than the rest of them comparatively. Although your control over mana isn\'t worth mentioning and you don\'t have any fighting experience, but these will change in the future as your strength increases." The crimson monarch explained.

Margaret stared at him intently as if she wanted to engrave his face in his mind. _​

Max didn\'t speak after hearing him. He had expected some other reason for choosing him; for example, he was special or something like that.

"Okay senior, I accept your legacy." Max bowed.

"Good, Don\'t resist." The crimson monarch nodded, and golden light shot out from him and entered Margaret and Max\'s forehead.

"I\'ve transmitted My Crimson dragon spell to you two." He said and then looked toward Max and said with a serious voice, "Max, you should not try comprehending it before you become a four-star mage at least; otherwise, your body won\'t be able to bear it." The crimson monarch said and then flicked his finger in his direction. "Go now."

The altar glowed, and he disappeared.

The monarch then looked at Margaret and said, "Little lady, I have a small request before I disappear from this world."

"Please say, senior monarch."

...

...

Max suddenly appeared in his room. Lilly wasn\'t in the room, so he thought she was out. He was too tired after all that had happened. He laid on the bed and quickly entered deep sleep. He didn\'t even bother to change his clothes which were tattered and had blood stains on them.

...

He didn\'t know how many hours he slept. He opened his eyes. His body was sore. "I\'ve to increase my basic stats to avoid being in this situation after every fight."

"Huh? It seems Lilly has taken care of me. How caring!" Max smiled when He stood up to take a bath and realised that he was wearing clean clothes and he had medicine paste over the bruises and cuts that had almost disappeared.

He quickly took a bath and went out. He was starving right now. The reconstruction was done, and everything was clean and shiny once again. You could not say that a few days before, there was only destruction.

"Magic is really great and makes lives much easier." He was still in awe of the fact that he was in a world where magic existed.

Viscount manor had also hired more guards and maids while Knights were gradually being recruited.

As he walked toward the dining hall, all the guards, maids, whoever saw him greeted him with respect. He didn\'t know what brought this change

He ordered some maids to prepare food for him and waited. After a few minutes, food was served; he gobbled everything up. When he was done eating, he went to find Esther.

Esther, Mina and Amelia were gathered together and were talking with grave expressions. When they noticed Max coming, they stopped whatever they were talking about and put on smiles on their faces.

Max noticed this and frowned but chose to ignore it and asked after greeting them, "Do you know when my father will come back? I need to talk to him about something."

Hearing his question, their smile disappeared, and their expressions sank. Seeing their reaction, his expression hardened, and he asked, "What happened? Tell me. Is he alright?"
