Chapter 532 Aboard

Once again, Atticus gaze snapped open, this time slightly annoyed. This man was becoming all to used to moving him without any heads up.

He shot magnus a stare but made very well sure to be subtle about it. He was so piss about the situation that he hadn't thought about the pointlessness of trying to be subtle. There was no being subtle in the presence of a paragon.

Magnus paid his grandson annoyance no heed, simply facing forward as though he hadn't done anything. But the slightly curled up lip betrayed his real emotion; he was clearly enjoying this.

The duo descended downwards, slowly landing soundlessly on the earth. It was then Atticus focused on his surrounding, his features showing slight intrigue at what he saw.

He was back at the large expanse they had all gathered at before the entrance test and just infront of him was the imposing and large form of an airship.

It was parked just in front of them and had immense size and sleek, silver exterior that screams of the extent its durability.

Panels of shimmering metal covered its surface, interspersed with glowing energy conduits. The Ravenstein sigil, resembling eight swirling elements, was etched on each sides of the airship,

'It's smaller than what brought me to the academy but feels more powerful,' Atticus noted.

Turning his gaze back down, Atticus saw Magnus walking forward and immediately followed. Even though they were on the ground already, the tendrils of lightning snaking around Atticus was still present.

Atticus didn't bother asking why, it was entirely obvious enough, Magnus wasn't letting his guard down. It was for his protection.

The hatch of the ship was already opened, and Atticus could see the figures of a few white haired individuals as they approached.

Despite still being a little distance away from them, they had all long gotten on their knees, each of their heads bowed and awaiting their arrival.

Atticus couldn't help but wonder why Magnus hadn't just landed directly infront of the ship; why bother to walk.

However, despite his curiosity, he didn't ask. They both reached the ship, a loud greeting filled with reverence and respect sounding as each of the kneeling figures greeted in unison,

"We greet master Magnus and young master Atticus!" NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

Atticus had noticed immediately he set eyes on them, the whiteness of their hair were impossible to miss. 'Ravensteins. Are they the airship's attendants?... no not all of them,'

He had a lean but muscular build and was dressed in well tailored, unpretentious clothes, favoring soft, neutral colors like light blues and greys that complemented his soothing demeanor.

The second man didn't waste time and also spoke, "I was given the name Yotad and I shall be your Ravenblade, Master," unlike Dario, Yotad had a Raven black hair and spoke in a humbling tone.

Atticus could immediately noticed a certain similarity between him and Arya; Anastasia's Ravenblade. They both had some kind of dark aura they radiated either consciously or unconsciously.

Hearing Yotad, Atticus gave Magnus a subtle confused look,

"After the academy, it is mandatory for every important member of our family to be attached to a Ravenblade,"

Atticus frowned slightly,

"What about Arya?"

Magnus shook his head, "She bounded to your mother already. Unless you want your mother to remain without any protection, It's best you get your own,"

The kneeling and bowing figure of Yotad and Dario showed an intense amount of shock on their faces as they heard Atticus and Magnus converse.

Neither of them wanted to believe what they were currently witnessing!

Not even Avalon, the family head could talk to Magnus this way! Why the hell were they so casual?

It was insane, the absurdity of the situation was even more evident given the fact that they were still kneeling and hadn't even raised up their heads the entire time. Regardless, none of them dared to speak or say anything .

Magnus immediately noticed the hesitation on Atticus's expression. He stretched his palm forward, two golden folded papers suddenly appearing on top of it.

"Each Ravenblade has already swore their loyalty to the family and the one they're attached with. I am well aware of your misgivings so I will give you these. Draft your contract yourself,"

Atticus collected the contracts from Magnus gazing at them for a few seconds.

'He's right, there's no way I'll trust this,' Magnus was right. He might have assured Atticus that the Ravenblade was already bounded but it would take way more than that for him to allow someone follow him everywhere.
