SSS-Ranked Skill in a New Filthy World-Chapter 91 The Queen [Part 1]

Roman, Anya, and Amelia followed the guard as she led them to where the Queen was. Roman was starting to feel a little nervous, but he kept walking.

"The Queen is beyond this door. Please behave yourself—for your own good," she said before opening the large door.

Roman took a deep breath and stepped in first. As soon as he did, all the eyes in the room turned to him.

There was a long table in the middle of the room, and the place was nicely decorated, but Roman couldn’t focus on that.

He kept walking with Anya and Amelia beside him, feeling the weight of all those stares. It was like each person at the table was trying to peek into his soul.

One of the gazes felt different—stronger, like the person was actually trying to check him out.

But Roman didn’t look up. He just kept moving until they stood at the other end of the table, across from the Queen.

Together, the three of them bowed.

"Your Majesty," they said at the same time.

"You may sit," the Queen’s voice came from the other end.

Roman raised his head slightly and finally looked around the table. There were five people seated, not counting the Royal Guards standing at the edges of the room.

At the head of the table was the Queen. She wore a white and silver dress, her crown resting lightly on her head. Her eyes were calm, and she looked at Roman like she was studying him.

Next to her sat two older women, both dressed in fine clothes. These were high-ranking nobles, the kind who helped the Queen make decisions about the people and other things, part of the Queen’s council.

On the other side sat both of these two—Evelyn and Victoria.

Evelyn looked calm, her hands folded neatly on the table as she stared at Roman. She had seen males all her life, but this one was just different; not only was he the most handsome of them all, but there was just something about him.

Victoria, on the other hand, had a small smile on her lips, and she was the one whose gaze Roman had felt earlier. She was trying to access him, but for some reason, she couldn’t, which only caused her curiosity to increase.

The three of them sat down quietly, with Roman in the middle.

For a moment, no one said anything. The room was quiet, except for the soft sound of the wind blowing outside through the open windows.

Then the Queen spoke.

"Roman, I heard you awakened as an S-rank Elemental mage, is that true?" The Queen asked.

"Yes, your Majesty," Roman replied; his nerves were gone; he wasn’t feeling it anymore; he knew what the Queen was going to offer; everyone knew, but since he wasn’t going to accept, he couldn’t make himself small.

"I’m sure you know the state of the world, the demon lord is relentless when attacking, for now only troops on the frontline are facing demons, and that is because of the courage and bravery of our mages who fought when the demons attacked"

"Many lost their life in that fight, including good mages; the kingdom needs to do all in its power to increase strength; if we don’t, when next the demon lord attacks, the kingdom might not survive it," The Queen spoke.

"You must know why you’re here, just because you’re a commoner doesn’t mean I have the right to do anything I want to you, I’m not a tyrant, but I’m sure the offer I would make is good enough for even a noble family"

The Queen spoke as she turned to one of her advisors, who brought out a paper scroll.

"I’ll read out the Queen’s offer for you"

Before the advisor could continue Roman raised his hand.

"You can speak" The Queen replied.

"Read out what I need to do before the reward I would get for doing it," Roman said, and the people at the table were surprised.

The offer was supposed to be read out first to entice Roman and his family into taking it, and then what he needed to do would be next.

"Alright, You’ll be given a house here in the palace and you’ll be required to..."

Roman raised his hands, cutting off the advisor again, and this time, she was already getting annoyed before the Queen spoke.

"What is it?"

"I’m sure your offer is wonderful, but I don’t think I want to hear it. Instead, I want something else," Roman said.

"What do you want?" The Queen asked.

"I want to attend the Magic Academy," Roman spoke.

Victoria and Evelyn, who hadn’t spoken a word and were busy admiring Roman, finally heard what he wanted; Evelyn knew this was what she sensed in him.

Most males were narrow-minded, and for a good reason, males had only one job and nothing else;

breeding with females, apart from that, males were nothing else, and it was the shortage of males that made them important, if males were as much as females, they would be considered useless.

Roman here was currently the most important male in the entire world, and he wanted to attend the academy; in the history of the academy, no males had attended, not because males were banned from attending, but because no males wanted to; they all wanted the good life.

"You want to join the academy?" Victoria spoke next.

"Yes, I want to learn magic, but I’ll also do what the Queen wants, but I’m not planning to stay in the palace for the rest of my life" Roman spoke.

"You do know males are naturally weaker than females; I don’t think any males have attended the academy before; why do you want to?" The Queen asked.

"I just want to learn magic" Roman replied.

"If that is the only reason, then here are the two best mages in the kingdom, and Evelyn here happens to be an elemental mage whose power is flames; she can teach you all you need to know," The Queen spoke a little serious this time.
