What amazed him the most, was that even looking in another direction he had managed to throw his dagger right at his head, of course, he had frozen it in midair, but thanks to this move, it had allowed the others to find out about him.
He was a little disappointed not to be able to stay longer to observe them from here, but he had no choice, he had to leave now that he was discovered.
Once he was done with the opening of the vortex, he decided to return to observe them from his suite in his palace.
Like that his son-in-law would be able to relax, and if he was as smart as he thought he was, he hoped he would understand that he wasn't a threat. ????????????????????????????. ????૦m
When he left, the dagger fell to the floor and as he had hoped, his son-in-law immediately relaxed and his son and his friends ended up relaxing too.
He was also pleasantly surprised that his friend could detect the vortex he had created, his son was really well surrounded, it was a very good thing.
And when he heard his son-in-law say that he was probably waiting for the right moment to show up, his smile widened and he no longer doubted that he would be well welcomed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was starting to get impatient to join them, but his spies had reported to him that Lilith herself had descended into this world and was about to strike to inflict heavy losses on Cassandra.
So, until he found out what the threat was, he preferred to stay hidden in the shadows to protect them.
.........…
Back in the pavilion, Kevin had become curious, why had Axel needed Erik to help him prepare a surprise ?
Axel then took his hand and intertwined his fingers with his, and Kevin let himself be guided to their guest room and then what he saw made him speechless.
Axel had removed all the weight machines he had just bought and he had turned this room into an office or more accurently a small meeting room.
When Axel saw that Kevin was watching him startled, he explained to him that his body didn't need any workout anymore, as he had leveled up and increased his Stats rather quickly, his body had changed as well.
Kevin hadn't been paying too much attention in the change of his own body, but he had to admit that a weight room would have been of no use to him now.
Axel continued and explained to him that together with Erik they had bought everything he would need to sort out the information they were going to receive to free the Queen and to prepare a rescue plan.
There was a large table with comfortable chairs to discuss strategy, there were boxes to sort the documents they would receive.
They had also applied a special paper on one of the walls of this room, that would allow him to take notes directly on it, there were pencils of different colors to write on it and a simple wipe with a cloth was enough to remove everything, very practical indeed.
There were also push pins to hang documents on the walls, lot of sheets of paper of different size and pencils.
Axel had thought that Kevin might wish to make his own croquis with the documents they would receive, in short he had everything he need here to prepare to free the Queen.
Kevin asked him a little worried : "It's great honey, but the safety of our pavilion is almost zero, anyone can break the door when we aren't there and come in ... If ever someone with bad intentions found out what we prepare, we could be denounced for treason ..."
Axel put two fingers on his lips to silent him and he said with a smirk on his face : "Do you really think that your husband is someone so reckless ? Of course I have changed the level of security of our pavilion."
When Axel saw that Kevin had blushed at the mention of the word husband he found him really too cute, his smile widened and he said as he let go of his hand and put it on his waist which he started to caress in a provocative way : "I have asked Douglas to put an energy shield around our pavilion, only people that we will allow to pass will be able to enter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI have already given access to Erik and Alan, and if you ever want to add more people, you just have to go to Douglas and ask him to do so.
The badge you received on the day you have been recruited is like a pass, or an identification card.
It's thanks to this badge that someone will be able to cross the energy shield ... It's the same when you will want to go to the library, if you want to borrow books you will have to show it to them to be able to do so."
Kevin nodded, he had wondered what the use of this badge could be but now he understood better, he asked him : "If I had been in the dormitory with the other new mages and fighters, I guess I would have had to use my badge, right ?"
Axel nodded : "You're right, you would have learned earlier what this badge could be used for if you had attended the welcoming ceremony for the new mages and fighters ... The dormitory rooms open with the same kind of pass as we got to open our pavilion, but to get into the dormitory building you have to show your badge.
They can also choose to change the security of their room like I did with our pavilion, but it costs them 2 gold coins per day to do so."
Kevin could feel the warmth of Axel's hand directly on his skin now but he was too curious so he asked him again : "How does a energy shield work ?"
Axel answered him while pressing his body against his so as to let him know that soon this discussion would be over : "The energy shield has been discovered a very long time ago.
You already know that the energy that we use to light up our pavilion, to cook or have some hot water to shower is due to the magical crystal.
When these magical crystals are depleted, the mages collect them and introduce spiritual energy into them and by placing them all around the pavilion an energy shield will form."
Axel was getting impatient, he wanted to finish his explanation, but finally, Kevin's lips that were as red as cherries were too tempting for him to resist anymore.
