186 Each in their own place #2

I couldnt decide on the recent job advancement opportunity. It was challenging to choose between the safe and beneficial Archmage, or the potential highly rewarding but risky Demon King.

Part of the reason for my meeting with Elga and Mirna during the day was to solidify my decision.

I had a feeling that no matter which I chose, there was bound to be regrets. Id probably be saying, If only I had known, I might have chosen differently!

You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent Calm Thinking.

All job experience +5

It was a calmly unfortunate situation.

Whichever path I took, either was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with many changes ahead. I wished I had more time to contemplate, but the time for a decision was rapidly approaching.

Alas, time was not on my side.

As my heart was gradually sinking into a corner, I suddenly rose from my seat, as if possessed by something.

I wanted to confront what I had to overcome head-on.

Theo, you came at the right time. I was about to call for your assistance.

In her luxurious and tidy room, Aira greeted me on a chair. Two colorful outfits were laid out in front of her on the table.

Which one do you think suits better? Im contemplating what to wear in the upcoming trial, to shine as the Queen of Queens.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

Yes, Empress Serazade will undoubtedly wear black.

It might be nice to mingle with the same color scheme, but I dont think it would be bad to draw overwhelming attention with an entirely different color.

Never.

Truly?

Believing that what you choose is the best. That is the Kings way. You can only give your best to what youve chosen.

A King.

Airas presence seemed to radiate from somewhere. In a white nymph dress, she was sure to shine even more beautifully like a goddess.

Even those who schemed with malicious whispers and plots against Aira would stop in their tracks to admire her, at least once.

Then Aira asked.

So, have you heard from Serazade again?

Aira had been strangely defensive of Serazade lately. It was the first time Id seen Aira like this, I was not used to it.

No, there was none.

I see Then, whats the purpose of your visit?

I just wanted to check in since the trial is approaching, my lady. Now that Ive confirmed youre doing well, Ill take my leave.

I backed away and exited Airas room.

After that, I returned to my room and called up the status window. Then, with a hand that had lost all hesitation, I selected the words for job advancement.

In truth, my heart had already leaned in a certain direction. However, not knowing the extent of the risks made me cautious.

But now that I had accurately assessed who my opponent was, any further hesitation was a waste.

As I realized that my ultimate adversary was not the Hunter, but Queen Aira herself, a peculiar mix of confidence and zeal seemed to surge in my heart.

My Queen, and at the same time, my greatest rival and goal.

Aira Von Tarantera.
