Instructor Jinuo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach him a lesson after he recovers."

Louis could only observe three minutes of silence for Rhine Kain.

Given Master Jino's character, I'm afraid he'll be beaten with a stick.

Louis didn't know what to say, so he could only close his eyes and hold back his laughter.

It was the first time he saw Instructor Gino so furious. He was obviously frightened by the accident of his eldest son.

On the way back, Louis took the sad-looking little swan to eat garlic-grilled shrimp and vegetable skewers.

The little swan ate the skewers with tears and snot, but it was obviously not because the food was so delicious that it made him cry.

Instead, she noticed that as time went by, the brutal aura from Rumi, who was smiling sweetly behind her, became increasingly stronger.

"There are still ten minutes left, and Her Highness Olivia should go back with my daughter."

The little swan opened its mouth the most.

"Help! Lumi-san's tone of voice has changed. Can I still walk out of the palace alive?"

The little swan who contributed to the world-famous painting "The Last Supper" tearfully pulled Louis' sleeve and said pitifully: "Lou, Louis, I will teach you magic. Will you come back to the palace with me today?!"

A question mark slowly floated across Louis's mind.

Sister, your tone can be easily misunderstood.

Louis said nothing.

Although he was indeed tempted, he didn't even know much magic.

But Beatrice's sharp eyes and tender face flashed through his mind, and his gaze instantly became firm.

"We can't let anyone misunderstand... at least we can't let her misunderstand."

So Louis said, "It's no use begging me, Olivia, you have to count the time when you cry."

The little swan's expression froze, and he burst into tears and threw himself into the arms of the head maid: "Louis, I really hate you!"

Unexpectedly, Lumi changed her position and avoided the crying little swan.

The little swan's crying stopped for a moment, and then it cried even louder.

As if that wasn't enough, Lumi added faintly, "Your Highness Louis is right, crying also counts as time!"

The little swan couldn't cry anymore.

Looking aggrieved.

Oops.

Lumi and Huoguo have become immune to the crying tactic.

I'm really going to die!

At this time, Louis suddenly suppressed his nervousness and whispered:

"Olivia, please do not turn into a cursed spirit, or I will spread the flames of war throughout the world until all living things are killed."

Little Swan: ゛(◎_◎;) I always feel like he's talking about something very serious, but...

"Hahahahahaha, Louis, did you just come out of the circus? Why are you so funny!"

"I heard that boys and girls at St. Louis Academy, between the ages of 12 and 18, all fantasize about being a hero or a demon king."

"I didn't expect you to still have this kind of interest at 20 years old, Louis."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh at you, but I couldn't help it!"

Louis just felt his blood vessels throbbing.

Along with it, there is also a feeling of shame that makes me want to escape from the Star Continent at the speed of light.

This made him think back to his high school years.

…

Louis, who was young and frivolous at that time, got all the correct answers on his math test. He proudly wrote on the last page, "I could make a living with my looks, but I insist on relying on my strength."

I thought I would write on the last page of a stack of test papers so the teacher wouldn’t be able to see it.

Unexpectedly, the next day, when the math teacher met him, he immediately called him "Lu, a student with both good looks and talent."

He was so embarrassed at the time that he felt he would explode if he thought about it for one more second.

So he did something even more explosive.

"Teacher, it's strength." He pointed to the test paper with full marks.

Then he pointed at himself and said, "Looks okay, right?"

…

I, Louis, am socially anxious.

When he came to his senses, Louis looked at the little swan and said in a calm but firm voice:

"This is no joke. I think I really have the ability to do this kind of thing."

——When he said this, the matter-of-factness in his words made everyone a little surprised.

William smiled as if it was a matter of course.

Lumi frowned, feeling as if she had heard the word "curse" somewhere before.

As for the little swan...

She was standing on tiptoe and trying to pat Louis on the shoulder. After realizing that it was useless no matter how she stood on tiptoe, she still smiled with relief: "It's okay, Louis. I understand you. Everyone has that period of time. It's just that you came a little late."

Louis rolled his eyes and said:

"Shouldn't I say this to you? You are so cute even if you are small."

Little Swan, red and warm.

"…I'm talking about height," Louis added.

"It's too late. Die, you bastard!"

Olivia rushed forward with her staff in her arms.

…

After some nonsense, ten minutes passed in a flash, and no matter how reluctant Olivia was, she was carried directly to the carriage by the head maid.

Before leaving, the head maid glanced at Louis and said:

"Your Highness Louis, Her Highness Olivia promised to teach you before. I have prepared the relevant learning props."

"When can you spare some time to come over and see if it's possible to master it?"

Louis' eyes lit up.

He remembered vividly the unrivaled grace that the head maid had displayed on the Dragon Bone Grassland.

Is this finally a chance to try it out? …

After the group said goodbye, Louis went to the office of the Chancellor of the Privy Seal, informed Beatrice of the outcome, and then left the office.

It was getting dark. Beatrice looked at Louis's back as he left in a carriage and suddenly sighed:

"Xian, it seems that more and more people can't wait to test the strength of our father."

Qian pushed up her glasses and said calmly:

"This is normal. Your Majesty has suppressed the demigods of various countries for hundreds of years. During such a long period of time, no strong man of any race in the entire continent can be his opponent."

"Being powerful will inevitably arouse fear, not to mention that Your Majesty was..."

As if she remembered some unspeakable secret, Qian pushed the frame of her glasses again and stopped talking.

Beatrice quietly looked at the details of the report submitted this afternoon, and suddenly smiled and said:

"The conflict between the Abyss Church and the Dark Side of the God of Love has escalated, and they are trying to drag us, Enser, into this. These old guys are more sinister than the other."

"They are very powerful and have sophisticated means. If they really achieve their goal, we will be in great trouble."

Qian chuckled: "It doesn't matter. This time the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Their previous attack actually gave us the opportunity to counterattack."

Beatrice put down the report and said, "Yes, thanks to Louis for discovering the problem. Otherwise, we would have suffered a lot if we were kept in the dark."

"Is the seal of the portal we brought back from underground still stable?"

Qian said: "The master of Dark Crow is back. He has sent a team to the dungeon. He will come back after suppressing the monsters in the outer circle."

"It's a pity for the hero. He didn't have to die."

"If such a talented person were alive today, he would surely be a peerless demigod."

Qian pushed the frame and said helplessly, "This is the joint choice of Lord Max and His Majesty. Lord Max hopes to keep the true heroes in this era and wait for the unfinished sunrise."

"And he formed a team to suppress the dungeon on behalf of the real heroes."

"If it were a dungeon from five hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, or even from most of the time in history, with Max's talent, he would definitely be able to quickly clear the dungeon."

"After all, his talent, which is visible to the naked eye, is rare to be seen in a thousand years."

Beatrice said quietly, "But he is facing the strongest [Demon King] in history."

"He is the eternal chosen one of the Four Gods of the Abyss."

"It's the indescribable Chaos Knight."

Max, the contemporary hero, fell in the dungeon 129 years ago.

Only a few people know that although the brave Max is extremely talented and far surpasses the previous generations of braves, he does not actually possess the qualities of a brave.

The identity of a hero is not granted by outsiders, but by the world itself.

They are naturally endowed with talents that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, as well as the courage to face all difficulties head-on.

It can be said that the Star Continent can completely give a separate evaluation for the heroes of all generations -

Above genius is bravery.

However, there has never been a shortage of talented people and extraordinary things in this world.

Max is arguably the scariest one in years.

The gift of the Silver Hand gave him the right wrist that could tear apart storms.

[Future Vision] gave him the power to almost predict the future.

Even the Enther Empire, which discovered the genius Max, felt a chill down its spine.

Because this Lord, without the status of a hero, pulled out the brave sword [Hydwell] of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice.

He even completed the twelve trials of the God of Storms and War quickly, and gained recognition and response from the Brave Armor [The Glory of Talos].

It can be said that he is more of a hero than ordinary heroes.

However, even such a freak with foresight, after predicting his own death in the future, still embarked on the path of a hero without hesitation, in order to keep the still young emperor to this era to face his nemesis whom he could not defeat.

Yes, the Emperor of Enther is the true hero of this generation.

Thinking of some old memories, a heaviness flashed across Beatrice's eyes, but soon, that trace of sadness disappeared.

"Xia, get ready to start the final plan. Some people are hiding in the dark and can't wait any longer."

…

【Location: Tino City, Royal Palace, Little Swan Bedroom】

The little swan walked back to the room rubbing his little butt sadly.

Sister Lumi is so scary when she is angry.

Sister Wang, I miss you so much.

It's bad to confuse the country!

If you go back to the palace with me, Sister Lumi won't spank me for the sake of your still being here.

After mumbling for a long time, the little swan returned to the room and was about to start compiling his own "Prince Training Plan" × "Brother-in-law Training Plan"√.

While writing, she was giggling.

She attributed the country's steady and positive development in this life to herself.

After all, the sudden rise of Huoguo several times in this life was due to him.

This made Little Swan firmly believe that he must have a talent for cultivating others that had never been noticed before.

She planned to attract Huguo's attention to herself.

"You are cunning and you are tempting me with your magical knowledge!"

"Why are you greedy for wealth? Isn't it better to be greedy for the magic knowledge I have?"

This is not Little Swan bragging.

Raised in the palace since childhood, she spent most of her time studying magic.

Now that she has recovered from her illness, she has not given up this hobby.

After two lifetimes, she has mastered an extraordinary amount of magical knowledge.

It wasn't long before Olivia was ready to tempt Louis with her knowledge of spells.

She even plans to slightly modify the teaching materials of St. Louis College to make it easier for Louis to get started.

As she wrote, Olivia began to feel sleepy.

She had been running outside all day today, and she was not a physically fit warrior like Huoguo.

So she was just halfway through writing when she started to drowsily stick to the notebook.

Not long after, the bedroom door was quietly opened and the head maid walked in quietly.

Her footsteps were as gentle as a cat's, and there was no sound at all on the carpet in the room.

Looking at the little swan who was sleeping soundly on the notebook, Lumi felt both angry and amused.

She tiptoed to pick up the little swan, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. Only then did she calm down and go out.

But she was out the door and didn't hear Olivia mumbling something strange on the bed.

"Huoguo, you idiot, hehehe! I'll let you see~hiccup~how awesome~"

Suddenly, the little swan straightened its body and shuddered.

She woke up slowly and rubbed her eyes.

In her dream, she remembered the words that Huoguo had said to her during the day.

"What does this guy Huoguo mean?"

After thinking for a moment, a light bulb lit up in her head, and her expression became nervous:

"Is this guy targeting me?"

Olivia rubbed her eyes and said, "Is it because I have been too lazy recently and haven't thought of the reasons needed to solve the incident, so he suspected that I was a reborn person?"

My head itches...

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore.

When encountering difficulties, sleep! Little Swan's simple thinking made her not realize that her attitude towards Louis was quietly changing.

…

【Location: Tino City, Outer City, Tavern】

Lumi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and looked at Heisen Bansha who was burping from time to time beside her: "Heisen, how is your investigation going on the news about the cursed spirits that I asked you to investigate?"

At this time, President Heisen of the Thieves Guild shook the empty bottle in his hand, picked up another bottle of wine and started drinking.

He said slowly:

"Lummi, it's normal that you have no impression of the cursed spirits."

"After all, what happened in the palace at that time... You had no intention of paying attention to what was happening outside."

Lumi narrowed her eyes.

What happened in the palace... the incident with Princess Rastima? If so, it's normal that she didn't know about it at the time.

Princess Rastima.

The Emperor's wife, the master Lumi once served.

Also... the biological mother of Beatrice and Olivia.
