Chapitre 149: Chapter 64 New Practice Method for the Deflection Spell

"How could General Serviati possibly mutiny over a few mad words? Your Excellency is well aware of that," said Earl Nalzia as he took two cups out of a cabinet, pouring wine with a casual tone, "I just can't understand why you would say those things to him."

Using court mages to make ice just for drinking ice wine, isn't that a bit too luxurious?"
