Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2002 Go easy, you're going to strangle your young master!
While Brand stayed home every day drawing rune arrays.

Time passed day by day.

On the twelfth day after Catherine's ascension and the tenth day after Celine's ascension.

This afternoon.

Because they sensed that a barrier in the underground space, which had been dormant for many days, was beginning to tremble.

Brand immediately put aside his work and began the teleportation.

After a brief shift in light and shadow, Brand arrived at the second basement level of Morningflower Castle, at the edge of a barrier outside a plaza.

—This is where Celine is in her secluded cultivation and advancement training!

She glanced with slight surprise at the barrier in front of her, which was trembling slightly.

Brand extended his right hand, placed his palm on the barrier, and then carefully sensed the interior of the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, after sensing the [Mirror Element] that filled the barrier, which could be described as completely violent.

Based on the elemental data collected by the barrier when he was promoted.

Brand realized that his sister Celine's advancement was not yet over, otherwise the [Mirror Element] inside should not be in such a violent state.

After realizing this, Brand couldn't help but feel a little worried.

—When he was promoted, the elements weren't this violent!

After carefully sensing the situation inside the barrier with these thoughts in mind,

Brand gradually realized that Celine was probably at the final stage of her promotion.

Compared to his initial promotion process, my sister Celine should now have completely suppressed the 'enemy of a thousand men' single-handedly.

She should now be facing the completely berserk [Mirror Element Legion]!
At this stage, the enemies she faces are no longer the 'thousand-strong foe' they were before.

An endless army of Mirror Elements will continue to join the battlefield!

Celine must transform the entire 'Promotion Battlefield' into a 'territory with absolute power'.

Only then can one overcome this final hurdle and become a true Archmage!

Thinking this, Brand's brow furrowed even deeper.

—He got through this stage so easily back then, so why is Celine stuck here?

As he pondered, the purple gemstone necklace on his chest began to shimmer.

After waving his hand, he summoned the empty image screen and connected the communication.

Hedy Lin appeared in the light screen and then asked:
"Hello, Celine is making a move? Quickly open a portal for me."

Upon hearing this, he glanced at the garden behind Hedy Lin.

Brand ended the communication and then began communicating with the castle's teleportation array.

The next moment, the small space beside him distorted, and when the distortion was lifted like a curtain, Hedy Lin was revealed inside.

Then, he looked at Brand, who was touching the barrier to sense the situation inside, but with a furrowed brow.

Hedy Lin guessed:

"The situation isn't good?"

Brand nodded heavily and said:

"It's probably not a good thing, but the promotion is already at its final stage."

Whether it succeeds or fails, we should have a result soon.

Hearing this, Hedy Lin also waited anxiously with Brand.

To their surprise:

They waited from afternoon until evening.

Brand and Hedy Lin were no longer the only ones waiting here.

Ivy, Chris, and Sonia, who had received the news, also came together.

As night deepened, the ladies brought out their beds, preparing to make do for the night in the underground space.

The continuously turbulent elements within the barrier suddenly subsided.

Upon realizing this, Brand, who had been paying close attention, held his breath and began to delve deeper into his senses.

Before long, they sensed that the [Mirror Element] beside their sister Celine in the center of the square within the barrier was gradually becoming active again.

Moreover, this activity was completely different from before, without any turmoil or violence, but rather with a sense of excitement and grandeur.

A joyful smile quickly spread across Brand's face.

—The elemental realm is manifesting!
Next, after further sensing and confirming that everything was correct, and after vaguely sensing that Celine's [life essence] had also begun to change rapidly, Brand interrupted his perception, then looked at the ladies making the beds behind him and announced with a smile:
"Sister Celine did it!"

Upon hearing this, the ladies were taken aback at first, and then quickly exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you sure there's no misperception? Even Celine said she wasn't sure before her promotion!"

Brand responded with a smile:
"There's no mistake, I've checked it multiple times!"

"So, does this mean our family is going to have a second Archmage?"
Aside from our family, there are only three Archmages in the entire empire! We're so powerful!

"That's not entirely true; there aren't many archmages among humans."

But there are still quite a few Archmages in the Elf Forest.

But Celine's bloodline is only half human; the other half is that of a dragon and an elf.

Oh, none of these things matter!
Tonight we can finally relax a little!

Now only Catherine remains.

After discussing it excitedly for a while...

To prevent any further changes that might require their help.

They decided to stay here for the next few days, until Celine's most intense period of [Life Essence Advancement] ended.

As night deepened and drowsiness began to creep in.

Brand, unusually, did not do anything bad, but simply slept in the arms of the ladies.

As time gradually approached the late night of the third day.

Brand gradually awoke from his deep sleep because of a strange noise.

He opened his eyes to see a beautiful woman with purple hair and purple eyes, who was clinging tightly to him, the woman he had longed for for so long.

Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, it instantly ignited this utterly silent underground space!

By the time they had finished expressing their longing and returned to the ground, it was already noon on the fifth day.

That afternoon, news of Celine's successful promotion spread among the ladies of the castle.

A jubilant atmosphere once again enveloped the entire castle.

That evening, when Brand, in high spirits, led Celine into the banquet hall...

The jubilant atmosphere quickly reached its peak, and the ladies flocked around!

However, Celine became unusually shy in the face of the enthusiastic crowd.

Throughout the rest of the banquet, she stayed close to Brand and would frequently cast pleading glances at him.

After what seemed like the umpteenth time, when everyone surrounded him and showered him with praise, he felt overwhelmed and looked at them for help.

Brand couldn't help but smile and whisper a joke in Celine's ear:
"Sister Celine is so cute!"

Upon hearing this, Celine blushed instantly and complained:

"You annoying Brand! What are you saying! I'm ignoring you if you keep this up!"

Although the words were completely harmless, they felt like she was being coquettish.

Brand, however, was quite pleased to protect his sister Celine as she left the crowd.

As the lively banquet gradually came to a close.

To Brand's slight regret:

There was still no word from Catherine.

Several days later, on another deep night...

That familiar touch instantly woke Brand from his sleep.

Feel the warmth enveloping my whole body and pressed against my cheeks.

Looking at the shimmering golden hair and hazy wings in front of me.

He heard the gentle, sweet voices calling him "Young Master" that filled him with the joy of reunion and filled him with happiness.

Brand felt as if he had entered a paradise in the clouds.

The surge of excitement and joy within me instantly overwhelmed my overflowing longing!

However, immediately afterwards, I felt an increasingly obvious feeling of suffocation.

In addition to confirming Catherine's successful promotion.

Brand, in the end, still couldn't help but remind him:
"Be gentle, you're going to strangle your young master!"
