Chapter 224 : Jaegar on trial



Descending to the hall, he settled on the sofa, attempting to compose himself. The unexpected encounter had left him flustered, and as he gathered his thoughts, Jaegar couldn\'t help but marvel at Angelina\'s nonchalant attitude.

And her body was glowing with the water droplets that clung to her skin, making her even more alluring. Despite his nerves, Jaegar couldn\'t help but be captivated by her effortless beauty. Her wet hair was cascading down her shoulders, framing her face in a way that accentuated her features. The way she moved with grace and confidence, even in such a vulnerable state, only added to her allure.

Jaegar couldn\'t help but feel a pang of desire as he watched her, his heart racing with anticipation for what she would say when she finally joined him downstairs.

His mind swirled with a mix of emotions, from embarrassment to a twinge of curiosity about her apparent lack of concern over such situations. Regardless, he decided to focus on more pressing matters, contemplating his next steps in the face of the mysterious threats that had emerged.

Angelina descended after a couple of minutes, adorned in a flowing gown that exuded an air of elegance. The way the gown hugged her curves and accentuated her grace made it clear that Angelina possessed a natural poise that was impossible to ignore.

An amused smile played on her lips as she entered the hall, only to find Jaegar lying on the sofa.

She approached him and gently called, "Jaegar, dear."

Jaegar stirred, popping his head backward to see Angelina making her way into the hall. She wore an expression of serene composure, and he couldn\'t fathom her lack of concern over the earlier awkward encounter. When she questioned him, "Why did you leave?"

Jaegar sat back up, meeting her gaze with a mix of surprise and curiosity. "I thought you would be angry or something."

Angelina, still smiling, joined him on the sofa. "Dear boy, why would I be angry with you?" Her voice was as sweet as her demeanour.

Jaegar, now more at ease, responded, "Well, next time I won\'t hesitate."

Angelina chuckled softly, "Sure, sure."

She continued, expressing her concern, "Now, I need to get back to the spire, but I don\'t want to leave you, especially knowing that they are out there, coming for you." The worry etched on her face showcased both her concern for Jaegar\'s safety and her commitment as the Reverend Witch.

Jaegar assured her, "If you keep worrying like this, I won\'t be able to find peace. Rest assured, if anything seems dangerous for me, I\'ll be sure to jump into a portal and come to you."

To emphasize her trust, Angelina took a chain from around her neck and delicately placed it on Jaegar\'s neck. "Never remove this necklace from your neck," she insisted.

Jaegar nodded in understanding as she got up and said, "Now, I will leave for the spire. You can stay for as long as you want."

Planting a gentle kiss on his forehead, she exited the hall and then the house, leaving Jaegar with a mix of emotions, the weight of responsibility, and a newfound sense of protection around his neck.

With the chaos that unfolded in the maze and the subsequent destruction of the magical construct, the academy heads collectively decided to call off the summit.

The once lively grounds, filled with magical enthusiasts and aspiring young wizards, now emptied rapidly as representatives from each school left the premises.

The winners, those fortunate enough to reach the maze\'s centre and emerge victorious, were the prestigious A\'llkadi Elven Academy.

However, the majority of participants left the academy grounds with a lingering sense of disappointment and resentment. They had trained for months, honing their magical skills and strategizing their way through the maze, only to have their efforts rendered futile.

The decision to cancel the summit left them feeling robbed of an opportunity to showcase their talents and compete against the best magical schools in the realm. As they departed, whispers of discontent filled the air, fueling a growing tension among the participants.

Jaegar\'s involvement in the tumultuous events became a focal point of blame for many.

Whispers and mutterings filled the air as students and faculty discussed the abrupt end of the summit.

Some questioned the decision to include Jaegar in the trials, citing his mysterious powers and the havoc that seemed to follow him. The resentment against Jaegar had grown, fueled by the frustration of those who saw the summit as an opportunity for their schools to shine.

Outside the academy, the press seized upon the controversy, painting Jaegar as the disruptor of the prestigious event. Headlines featured his image, questioning his role and responsibility in the destruction of the maze. The magical community, usually filled with excitement and camaraderie during such gatherings, is now buzzed with negative energy and blame.

In the aftermath, the heads of the various schools convened to discuss the repercussions of the incident. Accusations were thrown, and Ashfield, sitting among them, found himself defending Jaegar\'s actions. However, the general sentiment was against the young wizard, and many demanded accountability for the disruption caused during the summit.

Amidst the chaos, Jaegar remained largely unaware of the growing discontent. He stayed within the sanctuary of Angelina\'s home, pondering over the recent events and the mysteries that seemed to follow him.

Deeply concerned about Jaegar\'s safety and the potential threats looming over the academy, Angelina, the revered witch and head of the Witch Spire, decided to take matters into her own hands. She dispatched a team of skilled women from the Witch Spire to inspect the school grounds thoroughly.

Meanwhile, back at Angelina\'s residence, two men were dispatched to keep a close eye on Jaegar. Two capable men from the Witch Spire were chosen for the delicate task of shadowing Jaegar without his knowledge. Their mission was twofold: to protect him from any potential danger and to gather information on the mysterious forces that seemed to be targeting him.

These two men, skilled in both magical and combat arts, were now standing on the lookout in front of Angelina\'s farmhouse.

She had acted pretty fast and sent all these people within a few hours.

The academy, now devoid of the bustling activity that had characterized the summit, became a quiet battlefield of political intrigue and magical scrutiny.

Angelina\'s proactive measures aimed to shield Jaegar from the repercussions of the maze incident, but the unfolding events were only beginning to reveal the intricate web of mysteries and challenges that awaited them all.

In the aftermath of the frenzied events at the academy, the heads of various magical schools, along with representatives from the Ministry, wanted to put Jaegar on trial, claiming him as the suspect involved in destroying the maze.

The damages caused to the maze and the disruption of the summit were significant, and they were eager to hold someone accountable.

Ashfield, having engaged in a serious discussion with Angelina, recognized that the resolution of the maze incident boiled down to a matter of compensation. As the head of the academy and responsible for the safety and well-being of all participants, he understood the gravity of the situation.

Given the involvement of representatives from various prominent races, Ashfield adopted a strict and measured approach. He was acutely aware that mishandling the aftermath of the incident could not only damage the academy\'s reputation but also strain the delicate relationships among different magical communities.

In the closed-door meetings with Angelina and the heads of the other schools, Ashfield emphasized the need for a fair and judicious compensation plan. He sought to address the concerns of the affected parties while preventing the escalation of tensions. The delicate balance of power among races required a careful and diplomatic resolution.

Ashfield\'s stern demeanour and unwavering commitment to the integrity of the magical community earned him respect during the negotiations. He navigated the complexities of the situation with tact, ensuring that the compensation offered would not only cover the damages but also serve as a symbolic gesture of goodwill.

As the discussions progressed, Ashfield remained steadfast in upholding the values of the academy. He aimed to protect the reputation of the institution and maintain harmonious relations among the diverse magical races represented within its walls. The outcome of these negotiations would not only shape the academy\'s future but also influence the perceptions of the broader magical world.

Ashfield realized that the focus should not solely be on assigning blame, but also on finding a solution that would repair the damages caused by the incident. He proposed a plan to the heads of the magical schools and representatives from the Ministry, suggesting that instead of putting Jaegar on trial, they should work together to rebuild and strengthen the maze.

This would not only serve as a form of compensation but also as a way to prevent similar incidents in the future.
