I AM A MAGE BUT WITH MILF SYSTEM

Just then, the door of the Ethwer carriage opened, and stepping out were Duke Ethwer, Duchess Ethwer, and Julia.

As soon as they stepped out, the entire hall fell into silence. Eyes followed their every step, but they showed no emotion and moved forward with composed expressions.

Duke Norish, who was still standing nearby, let out a chuckle and walked towards Ethwer.

He smiled as he spoke just loud enough for Ethwer to hear. "You attacked Easvil, didn't you?"

Duke Ethwer's face remained unchanged. "What are you talking about?"

Norish laughed, his earlier discomfort melting away as he found satisfaction in seeing someone in an even worse position than himself.

With a smirk, he leaned in slightly and whispered, "Don't worry. Julian will strip you naked too."

With no further words, Norish walked inside the hall. He waved to the gathered nobles before making his way to the throne on the grand stage.

He sat down with a satisfied expression, watching as the Ethwer family proceeded inside.

Julia, meanwhile, was filled with happiness as she glanced around. Without hesitation, she ran towards Isabel and wrapped her arms around her.

"Isabel! How are you?" she said.

Isabel was momentarily shocked before a wide smile spread across her face.

"Julia! Where have you been? And why haven't you replied to my messages?"

Julia grinned and raised her hand, forming a small tear made of light element. "I was practicing my spells."

Isabel's eyes widened in shock as she felt Julia's mana. "Oiii, Julia! Have you reached the Supreme Realm?!"

Julia's grin only grew wider. "Yes, I did!"

Isabel grabbed her arms in surprise. "How did you do that?! So fast! You are already at the Supreme Realm?"

Julia chuckled proudly. "Yep. It's all about understanding my element better. I focused on it, felt its flow, and over time, I became more familiar with it."

Isabel was taken aback, still trying to process Julia's rapid progress.

"But how exactly did you do it? I have never heard of anyone advancing that quickly aside from Julian."

Julia smiled softly. "I can explain it all later, Isabel. I have had a lot of time to practice and reflect. But for now… I am still a little stunned that Julian's already a duke."

Isabel nodded. "Right… I remember when he was always talking about his ambitions, dreaming of rising in power. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. He has come so far in such a short time. It's almost unbelievable."

Ding Ding

The murmurs and gossips that had filled the hall suddenly stopped as the loud ringing of a bell echoed throughout the entire duchy.

The sound hung in the air, signaling the arrival of the royal family.

Everyone in the hall immediately stood up and kneeled, showing their utmost respect. All eyes turned towards the grand entrance as the royal carriage slowly made its way toward the duchy.

The steeds pulling the royal carriage were completely covered in golden armor, making them appear like majestic creatures of the heavens.

The carriage itself was no less magnificent. It was adorned with sparkling jewels and precious raw minerals like ruby, diamond, emerald, and many others.

The onlookers couldn't help but gaze in awe at the sight. The royal family's arrival was always a momentous occasion, and this display of grandeur only heightened the anticipation of the event.

As the royal carriage stopped before the grand hall, the door swung open, and the King of Ares stepped out first.

He wore a royal robe with a golden crown on his head. His golden aura flared gently, exuding immediate authority and command.

Following closely behind him, the queen stepped out, her beauty timeless and radiant.

She was dressed in a royal gown, and she captivated everyone with her elegance and charm. She walked gracefully beside the king, her every movement flawless.

Together, they entered the hall, and all eyes were on them. Their arrival marked the second most awaited moment of the grand ceremony.

The room fell into complete silence as they made their way to the stage.

The king and queen took their seats on the thrones. The king's gaze swept across the room, studying the gathered nobles and his subjects.

With a voice that echoed through the hall, he spoke, "Rise, everyone."

As the words left his mouth, the entire assembly stood, but their heads were still bowed slightly.

The king nodded in acknowledgment before continuing, "We are here on this special occasion to witness the rise of the new Duke of Easvil. It is my honor to welcome all of you to this momentous event."

In unison, the crowd bowed deeply, "It is our pleasure, Your Majesty."

With a wave of his hand, the king signaled for everyone to take their seats. As the crowd settled into their seats, whispers and murmurs began to flow once again.

However, despite the gathering of the nobility and the presence of the royal family, the main man, Julian himself, was absent.

The guests exchanged curious glances, eager for the main event to begin, yet the one person they had all gathered to see had yet to make his entrance.

The tension in the air grew as they wondered what might be keeping the new duke from appearing.

Meanwhile, Julian stood before the mirror, admiring his reflection with a smile.

He was wearing a suit adorned with different jewels and badges, but there was one badge that seemed missing.

He ran his fingers over the empty space on his chest, and his smile deepened.

"I really am handsome, aren't I, Father?"

A sound of chuckling came from behind him. Alden, who was leaning casually against the wall, smiled proudly.

"Of course you are, my son. What else could you expect from my genes?"

Julian turned towards Alden. "So, what's your plan now?"

Alden's gaze drifted to the window, his eyes distant. He exhaled softly, thinking for a moment before replying.

"I want to travel around the world."
