Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 21: Mother's wand



Jeanine looked at him with narrowed eyes. She answered him, "Me, along with Ms.Brogton and the headmaster, Mr.Chins Rinton."

"I prefer my mother's name. From now on, please refer to me as Amrbose and in the academy too."

Jeanine didn't know how to react. Jaegar was telling her not to use the name Gadfraye, the name of the imperial family. If the news were to reach her highness, then what would she do?

While Jeanine was pondering over Jaegar's words, Angelina came out of the room. She chuckled and said, "Boy, do you even know who it belongs to?"

Jaegar turned to her and said, "It's the name of the man responsible for my birth."

Angelina's smile faded, and she said, "Yes, that ignorant brat was the reason she left me."

"You should carry your mother's name and make her proud. I will be watching over you. In time, I will send a word, then I will start training you."

"Jeanine, he will always be Jaegar Ambrose. From now on, no one should call him by the name of that bastard."

Jeanine smiled wryly and nodded her head. Only she was capable of calling a prince a bastard, Jeanine thought.

Jaegar smiled at her words. He wasn't eager to know about his father, nor did he feel any affection for him. According to his aunt, he was the reason his mother died. He didn't plan on meeting him.

Angelina then handed him a wand, which had a carving near the handle. Handing him the wand, she said, "It is crafted from the legendary Melibroke grove, renowned as the finest wood in the entire world." She explained in a gentle tone, "The Melibroke Grove possesses a unique essence that resonates with the magic within you.

When paired with your innate abilities, this wand will enhance your ability to channel and control your magic with exceptional efficiency."

She emphasized the significance of the wand, highlighting its role as a conduit for one's magical powers. "You see, a wand is not merely an object but a powerful tool that connects you to the vast well of magic that flows within. Without your own inherent magic, it is nothing more than an ordinary stick."

She paused and then said, "It belonged to your mother. I have specially made it for her. Now that it's yours, use it well."

Jaegar took the wand and looked at it for a brief second. He could feel a faint hum of energy emanating from it as if it were eager to be used. Intrigued, he wondered what kind of magic his mother had wielded with this very wand.

Dusk was on the horizon, and the sky was painted with hues of orange and purple. The night was slowly descending upon the land.

"My Lady, we will take our leave then," Jeanine spoke as she stood up.

"Let me send you off," she said, waving her hand, and in an instant, a portal opened in front of them.

The other side of the portal showed an image of the entrance to the academy. The grand archway stood tall, adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering in the fading light.

Bidding farewell, for now, Jaegar and Jeanine walked through the portal. As they stepped through, the familiar sights and sounds of the academy greeted them.

In an instant, the image around them changed, and now they were standing in front of the academy. The grand archway loomed above them, its intricate carvings now within arm's reach. Jaegar was astonished, realizing that the portal had transported them directly to the academy. Jaegar couldn't help but wonder just how powerful Angelina was. To him, she seemed like she would be able to do anything.

A surge of excitement passed through him at the thought of training under her.

Jeanine led Jaegar to the boys' dormitory. As they walked through the academy grounds, Jaegar couldn't help but notice the vibrant atmosphere and bustling students. The boys' dormitory stood tall, its architecture blending seamlessly with the rest of the academy buildings.

The dorm was on the east side of the academy. After giving him instructions on how to reach his room, she left. She was in a hurry to meet the headmaster.

Jaegar walked into the room and searched for his room. They have given him a separate room. And Jaegar didn't object, he gladly accepted.

After a few minutes of walking around the corridors, he found the room with a number on it. He entered the room. It was spacious, with a double mattress. There was a wardrobe, and he opened it.

It was full of his clothes, which he had seen at the clothing store. It seems like they have brought everything he requires.

Jaegar felt like he had become rich overnight. Everything around him had changed. The room was a far cry from the small, cramped space he had been living in before. The soft lighting and luxurious furnishings made him feel like he was in a five-star hotel. He couldn't help but smile.

But the smile soon faded as he released an exasperated sigh, feeling that his peaceful life wouldn't be peaceful anymore. He got to know more about his mother and his father, whom he didn't know till now, and learning about the curse placed on him made him anxious and angry at the same time. In a single day, a lot happened.

He wanted to know about the wizards and learn magic, but he didn't know that, it was suppressed in him.

He walked to the bed and sat on it.

Then he slowly leaned back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The entire day was flashing in his mind. For now, he thought of learning about the magic and later finding out about the ones who placed a curse on him.

As he fell into his thoughts, his eyelids slowly dragged themselves down, making him fall asleep.
