Bab 308: The King’s Banquet

"What? You two know each other?" the king said with a look of surprise on his face.

Benjamin came to his senses and with an odd look on his face he said, "no... we've only met once, and at that time I didn’t know that Master Aldrich was the chairman of the Mages Freemasonry."

How was he supposed to even think about it?

It was already an amazing coincidence to bump into the chairman while wandering around, and now the chairman was also invited to the king’s banquet.

At that moment, he was seriously doubting if it really was a coincidence.

As he watched Aldrich and his thoughtful smile, Benjamin suddenly thought if this was all planned by that old mage.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my impertinence." Aldrich said softly, "but I am very interested in this new star of the mage world, so this afternoon I met up and chatted with him for a while."

"Oh I see, since you already know each other, then there is one less job for me to do." The king chuckled.
