The Golden Throne

Chapter 192: Meeting the students

Liu Feng started seeing fewer and fewer people as he was walking towards the part of the camp that was dedicated to the mages. It made sense to him though. The kings would obviously give the mages preferential treatment because they were going to be instrumental to the current war.

Liu Feng kept walking until he was stopped by a guard.

“Who are you? I have never seen you here before.”, the guard asked.

“I am just a late arrival.”, Liu Feng smiled as he took out his token signaling that he was the lord of Dilheim.

“You people again? How many times have I told you nobles. Those girls aren’t going to fall for you. Meet them later at your own time. They are the precious mages of the country, and you arent going to get them to fall heads over heels for you. The king ordered me not to let anyone in. Anyone.”, the guard grumbled.

“Come again, say what?”, Liu Feng was confused. “You think that I am here because I want one of the girls here to fall for me?”, he chuckled.

“Please. This is literally the mother lode for nobles trying to build your connections. I know that you want to bed one of the flowers, maybe get one of the kids to like you. So many nobles have been passing by here, and so many normal children as well that it is getting irritating.”, the guard said.

“Right. So if I am a mage, then I will be allowed in?”, Liu Feng asked him.

“If you are, sure.”, the guard nodded.

“Fine.”, Liu Feng opened his palm and a flame appeared on top of his hand, flickering in the open.

“You are actually a mage?”, the guard was taken aback. He looked at Liu Feng with shock.

“So then, can I pass? I need to start getting everyone in line soon after this, or my father will give me a huge spanking.”, Liu Feng said.

“You may pass, but believe me, don’t think that you can get anyone here to listen to you. All of them are nobles, and you are just a city lord’s son. You are literally one of the lowest rungs here, along with the Barons. Don’t get too carried away.”, the guard advised him as he stepped aside to let Liu Feng pass.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. They will listen to me alright.”, Liu Feng smiled as he walked inside to the forbidden section of the camps.

“Oh, and by the way, I have a girlfriend, and no one here can possibly compare to her.”, Liu Feng said out loud as he walked away.

He saw an entirely different view from where he was staying the previous night. He was not in charge of putting up the tents, so he thought that the students would be given the same treatment that they were given when they were in the city. It seemed that the kings had a slight change in heart, because the amenities that they got here were much better than the other recruits and soldiers.

Every one had mattresses, and they had big and cozy tents. Students were walking, chatting around, and they had places to sit.

“This is their temporary setup? They are going to move this every single time we move? What idiot allowed this?”, Liu Feng thought to himself as he kept walking. He did not recognize any of the students here, so he knew that they were from the royal academies of the three kingdoms.

After a while, he saw a few familiar faces. But his face of calmness was not replicated when those students saw him.

“The demon of the magic academy is here. The demon king is here. Oh my god. We need to tell everyone as fast as possible.”, two students who saw him and recognized him quickly ran away. They were obviously going to tell everyone who they saw.

Liu Feng did not do anything to stop them. In fact, announcing his arrival in a grand way was better for him, because he was essentially going to become the commander of this whole place.

He continued to walk until he got to what appeared to be the center of the entire section of the encampment. There were a lot of students gathered here, and a very familiar face.

“Tesarion!”, Liu Feng exclaimed. He did not expect to see his old roommate here. He forgot that his roommates were also forced to conscript as mages.

Tesarion froze. He recognized this voice alright. He turned around to see Liu Feng.

“Liu Feng? What are you doing here? I mean, what were you doing not here? We were all forced to go through two weeks of hell, and you conveniently escaped it?”, Tesarion spoke.

“Haha, what makes you think that I slacked off more than you did? Who knows where I was during the time that you people literally almost turned around the whole army. I mean, I could have been undercover, just waiting for one of you to mess up.”, Liu Feng smiled.

Tesarion felt chills up his spine.

“Who is this Tesarrion? A friend of yours?”, the people that Tesarion were speaking to asked him.

“This is Liu Feng. He was my roommate.”, Tesarion said.

“Liu Feng? As in the crown prince?!”, the boy next to Tesarion exclaimed.

“No, he is a Baron’s son. He is the son of the city next to ours.”, Tesarion explained.

“A Baron’s son? And you still talk to him? What are you, an idiot? Looks like those years out of the capital degraded you.”, the boy sighed.

Liu Feng frowned.

“He does not mean any disrespect. Don’t take any offense. He doesn’t know much about who you are.”, Tesarion tried to calm down Liu Feng, afraid that he might go wild.

“Why would I take any offense. Why would I care about what the less willed, lower minded people think?”, Liu Feng chuckled. The boy clearly took offense though.

“What did you say? Say that again. I dare you. Remember, the king’s words were to not mess with the commoners. But pity you. You just had to be a noble.”, the boy threatened Liu Feng.

“Look. I have a little work to do. Where is Alderan?”, Liu Feng disregarded the boy and asked Tesarion.

“He is roaming around. I think that I saw him walking around over there.”, Tesarion pointed to a direction. Liu Feng nodded as he left the group.

“What are you doing Tesarion? He spoke so rudely, and you let him go?”, the boy asked Tesarion.

“Look. While you were in your stupid royal academy, I was in this actual magic academy, with princes and princesses. Liu Feng here is the friend of an actual prince, he screwed over the entire Glade association in our academy, and he is much more powerful than all of us. That pretty much means that we cant mess with him. Just by dating a princess, he is ranked higher than all of us in nobility.”, Tesarion said.

“He is dating a princess?”, the boy asked.

“Yeah. The one you crushed on so hard. Amelia, the princess of Elvan.”, Tesarion said.

The boy looked crestfallen. “That low ranked noble is dating the princess? How is such a thing even allowed? I cannot let this go any further. Once she sees him for who he really is, a gold digging scum, then she will come to someone she actually deserves.”, the boy said.

“Look. You can do whatever you want to, but just don’t involve me in it. I don’t want to end up in the hospital.”, Tesarion said with a sweat on his back.

Liu Feng was walking over to the corner where Tesarion spotted Alderan.

He saw a group of students, a larger group than before, and Alderan in the center of it all. Liu Feng smiled. He finally found some one that he could speak properly with. He headed over to the group.

The group was filled with elves, and they looked at Liu Feng with confusion. Some among them, however, recognized him.

“Liu Feng?!”, one of them exclaimed.

“Liu Feng? Where is he?”, Alderan heard Liu Feng’s name, and he immediately looked around. He locked eyes with Liu Feng.

“About time. Do you know how long I was waiting for you to come? All the kings were waiting for you to come, yet you were loitering around the camp doing who knows what for three days.”, Alderan said as he came out of the group to meet Liu Feng.

They shook hands and laughed. 

Some of the elves were confused. “Liu Feng? As in the crown prince of Aegon? How does the prince know him?”, they asked the elf who did recognize him.

“This isn’t the crown prince. This is the prince’s roommate. Remember? I told you about a person who barged into Glade Association’s building, and trampled over all of them? This is that person.”, he said.
