All Chapters of The Tyrant Emperor and his Eccentric Mage: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Hector stared at a peony bush in shock, he stared for much longer than one who just wanted to appreciate its beauty and his thought were obvious to Alexis who felt naked and exposed at having spoken her story.“I knew you had a tale to tell, but, I would’ve never expected something like that…” “I know, if someone told me the same story before I would’ve thought they had screw loose”, a nervous smile on her face as she sympathised.

Their recovery didn’t last long at all as the strange dusty place they had teleported to suddenly started to shake. The wood screws screeched and crackles throughout the flooring and walls were heard. And then a loud bang as the wall beside them broke open to reveal the man. “Thought you could run? From me!

She only knew how to heal and feel mana, not manifest it, but she did know one thing.

Alexis’ eyes cracked open slightly just before she was pushed out the bed by Alastair who was flustered and looked ready to sprout a steady stream of excuses. She groaned and when she spotted Emilia she gave a light wave. “Hey”. “This isn’t what it looks like! She-she climbed into my”-

Alexis didn’t return to the castle until the week was over. She couldn’t and it would be unreasonable if she did.

She could smell Alastair all over it but just shrugged, deciding not to question it. 

Several days passed like this, things had changed a bit in the palace. She noticed Roger and the other knights appeared more often than a bit around the palace. She didn’t know they existed up until recently and now they walked the grounds as if they had always been there. They were all friendly too, waving anytime they noticed her and calling her out as Miss Fairy. Even the serious Sir Roger was calling her Miss Fairy. It was embarrassing.
