A commotion erupted among the group of mages originally devoid of activity: amidst this image-conscious group of Archmages, there were rare, obvious whispers.
No mage who has made it this far is a fool.
Lucimar's words were too apparent for anyone not to understand.
But the mages quickly quieted down.
They could grasp another truth: Great Sage Ismael was unaffected.
No matter what troubles Mrs. Demit faced, at least in Aesces, her issues had no impact on the status of this child of the world.
Thus, their thoughts and actions didn't need to change for the time being.
As for whether the Ismael Family would have any internal issues, what did that have to do with them?
The more chaos the better, ideally, it would be a mess without them having to lift a finger, and the Little Ismaels would turn on each other until few remained standing.
As for whether the Great Sage, upon returning, would be angry enough to cancel all spots... Ha, that's absolutely impossible.
