A couple of days later, Max and the other two prepared a formal banquet for the apprenticeship ceremony at Glimmering Tower. They invited Violet, along with Rafael and Carissa, to witness the occasion.

After returning home that day, Violet felt a wave of regret. How could someone like her, with such a temper, take on apprentices? Being tied down in that way felt stifling, especially since she was younger than them. It wasn’t that she couldn’t command respect–it just seemed unnecessary.

Wasn’t it enough to teach them a few things and be known as a sage?

She was thinking of ways to decline when they insisted on holding the banquet–at Glimmering Tower, no less. The extravagance of it was absurd and yet stirred a sense of vanity within her.

After contemplating it, Violet realized that since the Inferno Guild would eventually be in her hands, perhaps she might as well accept the role.

Once she came to this conclusion, she chose appropriate weapons for them. Then, she brought Rafael and Carissa along to the banquet.

After the three men bowed to her and presented her with wine, Violet said, “First off, don’t go around announcing that you’ve officially become my apprentices. Yes, you knelt before me that day in front of witnesses, but since there was no formal ceremony, it didn’t count. Now that we’re having this apprenticeship ceremony and feast, only the people here know about it. Outside, you can call me Sage Violet.”

The three men nodded obediently.
