" Mr. Wizard King sir, are you listening?" A voice suddenly called out from across the room, pulling the Wizard King out of his thoughts.

Asta Silva, the current Wizard King, slowly turned around to face the young woman standing in the doorway. He smiled a bit sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.

" Sorry, I was lost in thought for a second," Asta told the young man with a laugh. " Could you say that again Esmée?"

" I asked, will your daughters be participating in the Entrance Exams or will they just go straight into their squads of choice like most Nobles?" Esmée Francois, the daughter of Marx Francois, asked as she walked towards the middle of the room.

Just like her father was Julius's assistant, Esmée was now Asta's assistant. She had just recently stepped into her role as his former assistant, William Vangeance, had decided to officially retire from all Kingdom duties. She was very much like her father; she was strict, no nonsense, and kept Asta in line.

" Hm, I'm not too sure. Right now Brielle's the only one old enough to actually take the exam." Asta muttered in thought, he and Noelle hadn't had the chance to ask their girls about it yet, but maybe they should?

Brielle had just turned 15 in September, Mizuki had turned 13 in January, and Kaiyo would be 12 in August. As Asta thought about his daughters' ages it suddenly dawned on him just how much time had passed and how it seemed like they were growing up so quickly.

" I guess tonight we'll have to have a family meeting about it." Asta said before he turned around to look at Esmée.

" Well you'd better do it soon sir, the entrance exam is only a couple of weeks away." Esmée told him as she crossed her arms, his eyes suddenly widened.

" It's in a couple of weeks?!" He shouted, causing the blue haired mage to cover her ears.

" Yes sir, so might I suggest-?" She began but was cut off.

" I'm so excited! I wonder if there'll be any new magic types there, maybe there'll be a new time mage or maybe someone from Hino that decided to come and try out!" Asta began to ramble excitedly as his eyes shone brightly like stars in the night, Esmée sighed and shook her head.

" Sir...you do realize you won't be able to go see the exam in person right?"

" Huh? Why not? I've been going to the exam in disguise every year since I became Wizard King." Asta said with a tilt of his head, suddenly Esmée glared at him.

The blue haired woman walked over to him, grabbed a stack of papers that were on a nearby table, and slammed them down onto Asta's desk, causing the older man to jump.

" Because you'll be too busy doing all this backlogged paperwork, you see Lord Vangeance may've let you get away with a lot of things, but I'm not like him. You'll do all the paperwork and other Wizard King duties that you've neglected over the past 3 years." Esmée told him with a wicked grin on her face that made a chill go down Asta's spine.

Now he understood why Noelle chose her to be his assistant over her brother Amrel.

After completing a month's worth of paperwork in just a single day, Asta was finally able to make his way to his living quarters. All Wizard Kings had a residence in the castle, and he was no exception. But the only difference was Asta's residence was just a bit bigger than most of the previous Wizard Kings was, and that was because he moved his family in as well.
