8th Class Mage Side Story 1 – His Inevitable Reason
While some time had passed, Ian found that people suspected him of something. In other words, they teased him for a simple reason.
“You made the rain fall, right?”
“……”
That was right. When Ian had come back after nine years, the sky had been filled with rainclouds, rain, and thunder on the ceremony day. There were even rumors that Ian had planned it all.
“You actually like being in the center of attention…”
“That’s not true.”
“You have wanted for attention for nine years, but Ian, that can become an illness. I heard that the symptoms are quite severe…”
“It’s not.”
Ian responded with a rigid face at his mother’s teasing. While Ian was now in his thirties, to Vanessa, he was still her cute son.
“Then why was the weather like that? Are you saying that it was a coincidence? It did not seem to me.”
Of course, the rumors were not baseless, as the weather had been quite unnatural.
“Look, you can’t answer.”
“……”
Ian kept his mouth closed at his mother’s playful questions. While he opposed the notion thousands of times in his mind, he did not speak out loud. He had spent a year like this.
‘Calm down. There’s no value in answering.”
Ian composed himself and showed that he would not respond anymore by taking out the nearest book on the bookshelf.
“You heard that this book is quite interesting, right? He’s Luca, from our homeland, who I also know well.”
Ian opened
. Luca had created a masterpiece from the bravery the crown prince had shown in the Eastern Plains.
“So, he now fancies the crown prince better than me after saying all those things?”
Ian was feeling particularly childish and closed the book in a climax. The library door opened. Was it his mother again? Did she bring Douglas and Father to tease Ian again?
“I understand the fun you’re having, but keep it in small doses.”
“……”
“Mother, you think so too, right?”
“……”
Ian spoke without raising his head, but there was no answer. Was this a new trick?
“I, Ian?”
“…….!”
The voice belonged to a different person.
“Your highness?”
Ian stood up, and his expression suddenly brightened at seeing the princess.
“What brings you here? You didn’t notify me.”
Ian’s expression was pleasant despite his indifferent tone, and his sulky mood had gone somewhere.
“Ah…that…”
Haileyy Greenriver hesitated, and her beauty was steadfast after nine years.
“I saw…”
“Yes?”
“The Ivory Tower…”
“The Ivory Tower?”
The princess stopped speaking for a minute to gather her courage. She then spoke what she had come to say.
“Flowers are in bloom in the back gardens of the Ivory Tower, and if you have the time and like flowers…we could go for a walk…”
“Let’s go.”
“Together…yes?”
“Let’s go for a walk to see the flowers. I needed a breath of fresh air.”
Ian spoke like it was nothing, and he even escorted her in a calm voice.

“Let’s walk from here.”
“Here?”
“The weather is nice.”
“Ah! Yes, let’s!”
Haileyy followed Ian a step behind, but she could not know that Ian’s heart was beating fast under his composure.
