After the class, Lian Han and Zong Yijun left the classroom side by side. "The professor's class was quite fun."
"Yes. But it would be better if there were no surveillance cameras." Zong Yijun was still bothered by that surveillance camera.
"It's nothing. We'll definitely pay attention in class anyway. Just pretend it doesn't exist," Lian Han said nonchalantly.
After all, besides Holly Vincent, Hathaway would definitely be supervising her studies, so she couldn't afford to slack off.
"You're quite confident. What if you get distracted or fall asleep one day? But—are you still not cutting your hair?"
"Yes. Senior Luo Xian told me at noon that I don't have to cut my hair, but I have to tie it up so it doesn't get in my way. Senior Luo Xian is so kind." Lian Han said with a smile.
"That would be perfect." Zong Yijun smiled.
Lian Han was very concerned about her hair.
"Yi Jun, we..." Lian Han wanted to say something, but the AI lit up at that moment, so he had to change his words, "Yi Jun, I have something to do, I'll go first."
Zong Yijun's gaze lingered on her smart device for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Go ahead. Be careful."
"knew."
As soon as Lian Han disappeared, Zong Yijun's smile vanished. They had just made plans for wonton noodles! Lian Han really has a bad memory.
"Tsk! Did your parents die? You look so pale."
Zong Yijun retorted, "If your sister knew you were cursing her mentor like that, she would be in a very good mood."
"You!" Abel Lance's expression changed. "Zong Yijun! I was just saying it casually."
“You just said it offhand, I was just mentioning it casually. Your impatient nature—tsk!” Zong Yijun looked him up and down, then clicked his tongue in disdain.
"Tch! So what if you were left behind by that beautiful lady? Is it really necessary to take it out on me?" Abel Lance's expression was not good.
“You were the one who spoke first. And I need to reiterate that my Lian Han didn’t abandon me. She just had something urgent to take care of.”
"When did she become part of your family?"
"I'd like to."
"You'd better pray that no one finds out about your infatuated nature. Otherwise, hehe..."
Zong Yijun's face darkened. "Abel Lance, shall we take to the ring?"
"Fine, I'll go. Who's afraid of you?"
...
Skynet, a coffee shop.
"Mentor? Rella, and Hathaway? What's going on with you three?" Lian Han looked at the three of them with obvious surprise.
"Your Highness, you don't need to speak so loudly, we can all hear you."
Lian Han realized what was happening and her voice returned to normal, "Didn't you say I had to hide my identity? What's going on?"
“There’s no need to hide from the relevant military personnel. Heri Vincent, a colonel in the Southern Legion of the Federation, has served in the Crimson Flame for over eight years and is perfectly capable of protecting His Highness,” Rella explained with a smile.
"Didn't you say before that Hathaway would protect me?"
“The previous attack shows that Miss Hathaway has been exposed. My military colonel’s identity is currently unknown to outsiders, and he can secretly protect the young prince,” Hery said.
Secretly protecting her? Can she trust her mentor then? Lian Han blinked and looked at Rella again.
Knowing her personality well, Rella immediately understood what she meant. "Then we'll leave our frail little princess in Colonel Vincent's care."
The words "frail and weak" were emphasized, and Heli felt that the other party was warning her to protect the people, so she said, "I will do my best. The previous attack was also due to the negligence of our military."
“Colonel Vincent, there’s no need to blame yourself. The matter of the attack has been resolved after discussions with Major Ling. The young prince is rather frail, so you’ll have to take extra care of him,” Rella replied.
Looking at Rella's flawless answer, Heli recalled the Ling family's young master's evaluation of this person—a fox, and a smiling fox at that.
It seems that the Ling family member has suffered quite a bit at the hands of this person.
"It is my duty, and I will certainly not let Noel down."
Even after all that questioning, he hadn't left any evidence against him. Rella became more wary of this colonel from a fallen family. "Then I'll leave it to you, Colonel Vincent."
"You're too kind, sir."
Lian Han watched the two of them talk, stirring her coffee repeatedly with a spoon. She was bored. Their magical duel had basically nothing to do with her.
All she knew was that Mentor Heri was a friend, not an enemy, but not someone she could completely trust—this was the message Rella had just emphasized to her.
"I haven't asked yet, but it seems the Colonel arranged a different dormitory for His Highness than for the other students in his class?"
“Yes.” Heli nodded. “Most of the first-year students live on the 27th floor, but the Crimson Flame’s apartment building doesn’t have an elevator. According to the information provided by Noel, Lian Han’s physical condition makes it really difficult for her to go up. The second floor would be good enough. Moreover, Lian Han’s roommate is one of my former students. She has already enlisted in the army and is currently studying at the university, so she has an extra layer of protection in the dormitory.”
"Senior Luo Xian is such a nice person, don't even think about making me change dorms!" Hearing them mention her roommate, Lian Han immediately perked up and objected outright.
"Oh ho! They've won you over in less than a day?" Hathaway raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "How many snacks or treats did they use this time?"
Lian Han: "What do you take me for? That senior student pleaded with my advisor for me because of my hair. Besides, she looks really approachable."
Heli: ...How come she didn't know that Luo Xian, who inherited her cold demeanor from that guy, also had this ability? Is this little prince sure he's not talking about her?
"Is that so?" Both of them became slightly wary of Senior Luo Xian, then Rella said with a smile, "Hathaway is just reminding you. Even if Your Highness wants to eat whatever you want, you still need a stomach that can digest everything. If you upset your stomach again, the Hathaway-type medical pod will be waiting for you."
A blatant threat.
"I understand. I'll have San'er scan it before we eat." Lian Han lowered his head, looking dejected and pitiful.
Hathaway, whose resistance was the weakest, ruffled her hair and said in a doting tone, "Alright. How about we take the little princess to see the sea this weekend? The sea on the capital planet is quite different from that of Nor."
"Really? No taking it back!" The young prince's attention shifted again.
“Hathaway.” Rella frowned, her expression showing some disapproval.
“Rella, Crimson Flame Academy isn’t far from the sea. We can have someone take Your Highness there when we have time. It’ll only be for a day. Otherwise, if Your Highness has nothing to do on the weekend…”
Before Hathaway could finish speaking, Rella already understood what she meant. "Then let's do it this way. Let's see who has time."
After all, Princess Han loves taking things apart in her spare time. Especially now, she still has a strong interest in mecha. Although her enthusiasm for hovercars only lasted for five months, mecha—almost two years have passed, and she is still so keen on taking them apart.
If they dismantle the mecha of any of the Crimson Flame students or instructors, wouldn't they have to clean up the mess for them?
So let's just enjoy the sea. On the Imperial Capital Star, he or Hathaway's fighting strength is still enough to protect the little prince.
Heri, who was ignored: ...
