Lady Elara's eyes widened slightly at that revelation. She looked at Julian again, her earlier nervousness softening into curiosity.
The Count cleared his throat and nodded slowly.
"That is… quite impressive. We had heard rumors, of course, but to reach Arch Mage level in such a short time is no small feat. House Azmed is glad to see such positive developments within the Astran family."
The Count then gestured toward Elara with clear paternal pride and said, "Our daughter has broken through to the Peak Sovereign Realm as well."
That surprised everyone at the table - even Julian.
She has reached Peak Sovereign Mage?
She appeared fairly young, likely in her early twenties. Considering the fact that children only awakened their elemental affinity at the age of sixteen, reaching such a high level in less than a decade was more than impressive.
