I AM A MAGE BUT WITH MILF SYSTEM

Chapter 171 Sudden Visit of Hans family

However, inside Alden knew the real reason. The Duke of Hans had witnessed the shift in power when Julian killed Marcus in front of the dukes and the king. He understood that the Duke was likely coming as a gesture to form an alliance, knowing full well that in a world ruled by power, politics were everything.

Eleanor then asked, "Father, what really happened during the war? You seem to be hiding something."

Julian simply chuckled as he was fully aware of the real reason for the duke's visit. It was definitely a smart move, and Julian commended the fast thinking of Duke Hans.

Alden teased and responded, "Eleanor, you are still in the Sovereign Realm. Look at your brother—he is so young and already a Supreme Mage. He will catch up to you in no time. So stop worrying about others and start cultivating."

Eleanor rolled her eyes and glanced at Julian, completely aware of how strong he had become.

Oh father, I do know, she thought, and I also know that I am carrying his child. A sudden blush crept across her face and her thoughts raced as she tried to push the embarrassing realization aside.

The usual conversation continued as everyone engaged in the food, the chatter flowing around the table.

After the breakfast, Julian spent the rest of the time cultivating, focusing deeply as he absorbed the mana around him. He could feel his world expanding and increasing his strength. Similarly, the quality of the mana in his world also began to rise.

The time soon passed, and the Hans family finally made their way to the Easvil estate.

Julian and his family stood together at the front of the castle as they waited for the Hans with composed expressions.

Moments later, the sound of approaching hooves filled the air, and a luxurious carriage came into view. The carriage came to a stop and as the door creaked open, three figures emerged, each commanding attention with their presence.

First, the Duke of Hans stepped out with his tall figure and regal demeanor. His eyes scanned the surroundings as he took in the beauty of the Easvil duchy.

Isabel's cheeks flushed slightly at the sight of him. She managed a soft smile and replied, "I have been well. What about you? You sure got famous after splitting with us."

Her words were light, but there was a hint of curiosity in her tone. Her gaze locked onto Julian as she took in his new presence that seemed to radiate power, almost on its own.

Julian laughed softly with a grin on his face. "Well, a man like me is definitely destined for greatness," he said.

Isabel chuckled, a light laugh escaping her as she shook her head. "Sure, sure," she replied.

Julian leaned a little closer and his voice lowered to a more teasing but seductive tone. "We haven't gotten intimate in ages. Did you miss my touch?" he asked with a subtle challenge in his words.

Isabel's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red as she quickly glanced around, ensuring no one had overheard Julian's bold words.

She leaned in slightly and with low whisper said, "Julian, not in the broad daylight. They might hear us."

Julian laughed softly at her response, and he noticed Frederick and Lisa looking at him with appreciating expression.

Frederick with a warm smile said, "Julian, you sure have grown even stronger than the last time we met." His tone carried a hint of flattery, and Julian couldn't help but sense the sucking up from Duke Hans.

Lisa leaned in slightly closer as she revealed a subtle hint of her cleavage. "Yes, Julian, it was just yesterday that you were sharing your stories with us back in the royal academy," she said, her voice tinged with admiration. "And now look at you; you are unrecognizable."

Julian's gaze briefly lingered on Lisa's cleavage. Sorry, Duke, she is the one who should be doing the sucking up, he thought with a smirk.

Then, he bowed respectfully to both the Duke and Duchess as he said, "Your Graces, thank you for your compliment."

They all made their way inside. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The grand dining hall was filled with the sounds of laughter and friendly chatter as everyone took their seats. The conversation flowed as the both families exchanged pleasantries. The feast was laid out before them, with delicious food and the aroma filling the room.
