Please Provide Compensation Through Divorce

Chapter 25

"Master, Master!"

Luminos came running, wailing. He clung to Quinas' coffin and wept.

"I'm late, I'm sorry. Please forgive this unworthy disciple."

Shawn wiped away his own tears at the sight. Despite being expelled from the guild after a fight with Luminos, it seemed he still had some affection left.

Louis approached Luminos to comfort him. Despite his large frame, Luminos leaned on Louis and cried.

"Damn it... I couldn't even see my master off! What kind of disciple am I?"

"It's alright. Stop crying. It doesn't suit your size."

Louis signaled to Shawn to come over. Shawn hesitated but then joined them.

Luminos and Shawn looked at each other. Then, they burst into tears simultaneously.

"Damn it!"

"Curse it!"

They hugged each other and sobbed. The nobles around them shed tears, moved by the scene.

Leto muttered,

"They're putting on a show."

"You said you were envious of them as a child."

"No matter how envious, I never wanted to be in that position."

Luminos sniffled and came over to us.

"Sniff... it's been a while, Your Majesty."@@novelbin@@

"Yes, Luminos. You're late."

"A new dragon was born in the western borderlands, so I had to go there. I heard the news as soon as I returned and came immediately. I couldn't have come any sooner."

"Who said anything? Greet the Empress first."

Luminos snorted angrily. The relationship between the royal family and the mages guild had historically been strained, not because of personal relationships, but because of history.

"Your Highness, Guild Master Luminos greets you."
