The governor ignored what Savra had said and immediately burst into anger as he looked at Lucius.

    "I won''t rest until that boy is dead!" The governor roared as he pointed his finger at Lucius, who stood calmly.

    Without hesitation, the governor summoned another Wind Lynx and immediately ordered it. "Kill him!"

    Liora immediately went to intercept the Wind Lynx. "How dare you try to harm my master!"

    Savra, who was watching from her seat, began to become angry as she stood. "Governor, this is enough..."

    But before she could act, Lucius raised his hand and stopped her. He smirked as he said. "Don''t trouble yourself, Lady Savra. I''ll handle this."

    Savra looked at Lucius. "You''re confident she can handle it?"

    Lucius smirked after being asked and soon turned toward Liora and called her. Liora then turned toward him.

    Lucius smirked as he raised his hand and ran it across his neck and Liora immediately smirked as she understood the command.

    Lucius then turned to Savra again. "Don''t worry. Liora is far stronger than you think."

    Lucius smirked as he already scanned the Wind Lynx''s data.

    ---

    [Species: Wind Lynx]

    [Element: Wind]

    [Level: 3 Star]

    [Stats:]

    [Str: E (3★)]

    [Vit: F (3★)]

    [Agi: D (3★)]

    [Int: F (3★)]

    [Skills: Wind Slash, Gale Leap]

    ---

    Lucius looked at the data and smiled as Liora''s status was way stronger as her stats were 2-Star C-Tier, which was stronger than the Wind Lynx Stats.

    Daxton wasted no time. "Gentlemen, I bring news from the Volcaria family. The governor and his son are no more."

    The advisors were shocked and one of them asked. "What? The governor... dead? How did this happen?"

    Daxton immediately explained it. "The governor acted recklessly and insulted the Volcaria family. His actions were met with consequences.

    Daxton also then said. "However, this is also an opportunity for one of you to step forward. The Volcaria family will support the appointment of a new governor from among you."

    The advisors who heard it immediately glanced at one another, each calculating their chances. "So, one of us will become a new governor?"

    Daxton nodded. "Yes. The Volcaria family values order and prosperity. A competent leader will be chosen to ensure stability."

    The advisors exchanged knowing glances. They were careful not to show too much eagerness, but still, their excitement could still be seen.

    The former governor had ruled with arrogance and greed, and his death rather than being grieved seemed like a freedom.

    The city itself also responded similarly. As news spread of the governor''s death, the people around were not grieving but instead they celebrated it.

    The governor''s corruption and negligence had long been a burden, and his absence was a welcome change.

    Back at the Volcaria estate, Savra looked at Lucius and said, "It seems your prediction was correct. The city is celebrating his death rather than mourning it."

    Lucius chuckled. "People often hide their true feelings, but when the tyrant falls, their joy is impossible to mask. All they needed was a push."

    Savra smiled as she approved him. "You''ve proven yourself to be far more than I anticipated, Lucius. Efficient, ruthless, and... clever."

    Lucius then bowed slightly. "High praise, coming from you, Lady Savra. I merely did what was necessary. Weakness is a disease, and the governor was riddled with it."

    Savra only chuckled, "Indeed. But tomorrow, your focus must shift. The academy awaits you. Are you ready for the challenges it will bring?"

    Lucius only smirked. "Of course, I''m ready. Challenges are nothing more than opportunities in disguise. And besides, I doubt anyone there will surprise me."

    Savra''s smile deepened. "Confidence suits you, Lucius. But don''t underestimate the academy. It has its own politics and its own dangers."

    "I wouldn''t have it any other way," Lucius replied.

    Lucius then also looked around and asked. "And also, I am quite curious. Where is Magnus? Shouldn''t he be accompanying me?"

    Savra then smirked as she said. "Magnus is training with his father, Ragnar."

    Lucius chuckled lightly. "Training with Ragnar, is he? Then I can only assume he''s enduring quite the ordeal. I''ll look forward to seeing the results."

    Savra was amused as she glanced at him. "And I''ll look forward to hearing how you fare at the academy. Make no mistake, Lucius. You carry the Volcaria name now. Your actions reflect on all of us."

    Lucius bowed his head slightly. "Then I''ll ensure our name rises even higher, Lady Savra." The two then stood in silence for a moment.
