I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 77: The Prince's First Steps and New Goals

"Yes, from here on out Your Majesty can prepare everything regarding the departure" said Mavis.

King Cornelius chuckled lightly, rejoicing at Mavis. He had a chance to think, was it true that this child who was in front of him was still a prince that he knew? Change after change King Cornelius felt from his son, ever since he locked him up.

Is it true that only room punishment can change a person's nature so greatly? King Cornelius himself was not so foolish as to believe. The king really felt that the current Prince of Asta was like everyone else. Something must have happened to the prince without his knowledge, until it changed the child for the better as it is today.

The King certainly could not ask directly the cause to the prince. What the king had in mind, as long as the change was good, it was not important to find out. After all, doesn't everyone have their secrets?

"This time I owe you one more time, son. I'm very grateful that you've done so much to help solve so many problems lately" said King Cornelius, then he smiled and remained silent for a moment.

Shortly afterwards, the king continued, "For I do not look so bad as a king, I have a little present for you. I heard from your servant, if it's not Sasha's name? You asked to find a teacher, didn't you?"

Mavis suddenly recalled a long way back when she asked Sasha to find a teacher who could teach her many things. However, Mavis later realized that it was a futile thing. No matter how hard he practiced, whether it was sword skills or magic spells from this world, Mavis could not. The laws of this world seemed to deny her existence, she was completely unable to cultivate spirit energy like those who lived here.

That way, the only way he could increase his strength was by leveling up. Also, with a monstrous ability in his hands, Mavis must collect as much as possible, now he is like a collector searching for quality items!

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I have changed my mind about it, I no longer need a teacher" Mavis said, saying she was serious.

"It's a pity, I actually asked Alice to teach you and it just so happened that she agreed to take you to be her disciple. But if you are not interested, what you can do" said King Cornelius.

"I'm sorry if I've troubled Your Majesty so much that I'm bothered to find a teacher" Mavis said in a gentle tone, she really didn't mean to prank the king.

"No problem, no need to make you burdened. Then just tell me what you want."

"Your Majesty seems to have misunderstood here. I did everything just for the queen's safety, my own mother. There is no need for His Majesty to generously give me a reward. And also about the matter of Lily going to Baratajaya Kingdom, it was all I did just for the sake of the kingdom. Your Majesty really does not need to give anything" said Mavis.

"You made it so hard. Just tell me, son, what do you want? On your birthday before I haven't even had time to give you a proper present. Can't you ask me something now? Unlike you who used to be, now why are you so ashamed to ask your father this?" The King breathed heavily.

"Your Majesty, then I'm sorry if I should trouble you. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, can I have my own territory on the edge of the border? No need for something great, a small castle or a backward village, it doesn't matter. Its location should be in the southern regions of the empire, closest to the outer regions" Mavis said.

He suddenly thought of having his own place to live. After seeing how an Earl Edward ruled his own territory until it was as great as that, triggering Mavis to learn in terms of ruling his own territory, so that he would be much more experienced if he wanted to rule later.

Mavis also recently had a new purpose.in addition to his main goal of surviving in this new world, Mavis has the ambition to unite all the land on this continent! Unite the whole race and live peacefully without any conflict of strife. But Mavis' journey is still very far from his destination, and he still has to meet with other dangers that will come sooner or later.

"How, Your Majesty?" Mavis asked again after a while not getting any reply from the king.

After Mavis expressed her wish, King Cornelius gasped and dazed at the same time. Not knowing what the king was thinking, but at this moment he was still silent to the boy before him who had not even been said to be an adult. The king was completely out of words, he knew clearly from the way Mavis asked there was no trace of playfulness there, but he was still a child! It was too early for a small and handsome prince like him to ask for a separate residence on his own, how dangerous it was even more so Mavis asked for an unreasonable place! He asked for a place away from the main fortress of the kingdom and it was in the border region!

Where did this boy's trust come from? The King was really confused as to what to answer, whether he would approve of his son's wishes or not heed them. This was also too sudden for him, after all, he had to think things through carefully.

"Son, why do you intend to go and live in a place far away from here? You are too young to travel alone, it would be very difficult for me to allow it. Moreover, your mother would not agree to it, she would definitely be angry if I gave you permission to leave."

"Can you tell me why first?"

"Your Majesty, you know, I don't want to continue being a prince who can only continue to receive benefits from you. I want to learn to live independently, regardless of all the facilities I have obtained so far. With me being there, I'm going to be quick to learn how to take care of myself" Mavis said.

"As for mom, I'll try my best to talk to her. I'm sure mom will let me go in the end."

Mavis is still fighting for her will. This, however, should not be wasted, especially the king himself who offered a gift to Mavis. And quite lucky then and there he suddenly remembered that the location of the goblin settlement happened to be outside the south of the kingdom. That would make it even easier to travel if Mavis could stay nearby. Therefore, Mavis took the initiative to ask for a place to live on the southern border.

It doesn't matter if it's an abandoned residential place though, Mavis can still turn it into a decent and comfortable place to live in. Basically wherever it was, whether it was in his previous life or in this world, as long as he had money, nothing was impossible to do! Most importantly here, he must obtain permission first to stay at the southern border. That way he can become more free without being limited by his space of movement.
