After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Louis looked at Jino, whose face was dark:
"Instructor, Rein just got poisoned, he might need to rest for a few days, so please don’t beat him up."
Instructor Jino nodded and said:
"Alright, I’ll properly teach him a lesson once he’s recovered."
Louis could only observe a mont of silence for Rein Kaichen.
With Instructor Jino’s temperant, it’s likely that a beating awaits him.
Louis couldn’t say much more and had to close his eyes to hold back his laughter.
It was the first ti he had seen Instructor Jino in such a furious state, obviously terrified by his eldest son’s mishap.
On the way back, Louis took a mournful little swan to eat garlic grilled shrimp vegetable skewers.
The little swan ate the skewers with tears and a runny nose, evidently not because the food was so delicious that it made her cry.
But because she sensed that as ti passed, the ferocity emanating from Lumi, who was smiling like a spring breeze behind her, was growing stronger.
"In ten minutes, Her Highness Olivia should be returning with ."
The little swan’s mouth gaped wide.
"Help, Sister Lumi’s tone has changed, can I still walk out of the Imperial Palace alive?"
The little swan, providing a small rendition of the world-famous painting "The Last Supper," tearfully grabbed Louis’s sleeve and pitifully said:
"Lu... Louis, I’ll teach you magic, can you co back to the Imperial Palace with today?!"
A question mark slowly floated over Louis’s forehead.
Sis, your tone can easily be misunderstood.
Louis didn’t speak.
Although he was indeed tempted by the offer, as he hadn’t mastered much magic himself.
But the image of Beatrice’s sharp eyes and tender face flashed through his mind, instantly firming his resolve.
"I can’t afford to let people misunderstand... At least I can’t let her misunderstand."
So Louis said, "Begging is useless, Olivia, even crying needs to be tid."
The little swan’s expression froze, and she dashed crying into the head maid’s embrace:
"Louis, I really hate you!"
Unexpectedly, Lumi perford a switch and evaded the tearful little swan.
The little swan’s sobbing halted abruptly, then grew even louder.
As if not enough, Lumi added a soft comnt:
"His Highness Louis is right, even crying counts against your ti!"
The little swan was speechless and pitifully miserable.
This is bad.
Lumi and the kingdom have beco immune to the crying tactic.
This is truly going to be the end!
At this mont, Louis suddenly suppressed his nervousness and quietly said,
"Olivia, make sure not to turn into a cursed spirit, or I will set the world ablaze until all living things are annihilated."
Little Swan:゛(◎_◎;)
There’s a feeling he’s saying sothing very serious, but...
"Hahahahaha, Louis, did you just co out of a circus? How can you be so funny!"
"I’ve heard that boys and girls from Saint Louis Academy, at ages 12-18, fantasize about being heroes or the Demon King."
"I didn’t expect you, Louis, to still have this inclination at 20."
"Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh at you, but I can’t help it!"
Louis only felt his blood vessels pulse.
Alongside it ca a sha so overwhelming he wanted to flee Star Continent at light speed.
This reminded him of high school.
...
Back then, the young and reckless Louis, after getting everything correct on a math exam booklet, proudly wrote on the last page, "I could live on my looks yet I rely on my skills."
Thinking with all the stack of exams, written on the last page, how could the teacher possibly see it.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the math teacher upon encountering him said, "The student with both looks and talent, Classmate Lu."
At that mont of explosive embarrassnt, he felt one more second of thought would make him explode.
So he did sothing even more explosive.
"Teacher, the skills," he pointed at the perfect score sheet.
And then pointed at himself, "The looks, no problem right?"
...
I, Louis, social anxiety.
Once he regained himself, Louis looked at the little swan, using a calm but determined voice:
"This isn’t a joke, I believe I truly have the ability to do such a thing."
——When he spoke this sentence, his matter-of-fact tone left everyone a bit stunned.
William showed a naturally understood smile.
Lumi furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that the word "cursed spirit" seed familiar.
As for the little swan...
She was tiptoeing, trying to pat Louis’s shoulder from above, and even after realizing no amount of tiptoeing would help, she still showed a comforting smile:
"It’s okay, Louis, I understand you, everyone goes through such a phase, only you arrived a bit late."
Louis rolled his eyes and said:
"Isn’t this statent supposed to be for you? Small size is cute too."
The little swan turned red.
"...I was talking about height," Louis added.
"Too late, brace yourself, villain!"
Olivia lunged forward, waving her Magic Staff wildly.
...
After a commotion, the ten minutes quickly passed, and no matter how unwilling Olivia was, she still ended up being carried onto the carriage by the head maid.
Before departing, the head maid gave Louis a look and said:
"His Highness Louis, the teaching Her Highness Olivia promised you, I’ve prepared the relevant learning tools."
"Whenever you have ti, co by and see if there’s any chance to grasp it."
Louis’s eyes lit up.
The unparalleled grace the head maid had showcased on Dragonbone Prairie was fresh in his mory.
Now, he finally had an opportunity to try it?
...
After making his farewells, Louis went to the Minister of the Seal’s Office, inford Beatrice about the resolution, and then left the office.
