n“Teacher.”
n
n
nJoelson called out respectfully.
n
n
n
n
nHarriet Terrence looked at Joelson carefully and finally nodded in satisfaction.
n
n
nHarriet Terrence was not quite the same as usual.
n
n
nHis beard and hair had obviously been carefully groomed, and he was not like him.
n
n
nFinally, he had the demeanor of a saint-level mage.
n
n
n
n
nA very luxurious carriage quietly stopped in front of the academy. The carriage was engraved with the purple thorny flower symbol of the royal family.
n
n
nThe royal butler, who was dressed very carefully and was very polite, waited in front of the carriage, and greeted both Joelson and Harriet respectively.
n
n
nBoth of them were invited to the carriage.
n
n
nThe interior of the carriage was more luxurious than any carriage that Joelson had ever ridden in.
n
n
n
n
nThe carriage was lined with gold, and the floor was covered with a thick black velvet carpet. There were also all kinds of exquisite desserts and fine wine.
n
n
nAfter Harriet got on the carriage, he closed his eyes to gather his energy.
n
n
nJoelson also imitated Harriet. He closed his eyes and slowly calmed down.
n
n
n“We’re here.”
n
n
nHarriet’s gentle voice rang in Joelson’s ears, pulling him out of his meditation.
n
n
n“You’ve done well by taking advantage of all the scattered time to meditate, Joelson.”
n
n
n
n
nHarriet Terrence’s eyes revealed some praise. The more he looked at Joelson, the more satisfied he felt.
n
n
nJoelson felt a wave of shame in his heart.
n
n
nHe had only meditated a few times. Usually, he relied on leveling up to increase his spiritual power and magic power.
n
n
nIf Harriet Terrence knew the truth, he would probably be so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
n
n
nA common carpet extended from the front of the carriage to the palace.
n
n
nThe appearance of Joelson and Harriet Terrence immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
n
n
n“Look, it’s Lord Harriet Terrence!”
n
n
n“I remember the last time I saw him, I was still a three-year-old child. So many years have passed, but he hasn’t changed at all! It’s really unbelievable!”
n
n
n
n
nCountless nobles in luxurious clothes looked very excited. They all looked at Harriet with respect and admiration. People kept saluting to show their goodwill.
n
n
nA room full of nobles kept saluting. The scene was very spectacular
n
n
nJoelson looked at the scene in front of him and didn’t know what to say.
n
n
nWas this the influence and power of a saint-level mage? It was truly terrifying.
n
n
n“The youth beside Sir Harriet Terrence must be Joelson Edward!”
n
n
n“That’s right, it’s him! I’ve never seen such a young tier-4 mage before!”
n
n
n“It’s really unbelievable. Although I already know, seeing it with my own eyes is really shocking!”
n
n
n“It’s really too shocking!”
n
n
nThe nobles gradually noticed Joelson who was beside Harriet.
n
n
nHe was also very eye-catching.
n
n
nThe four golden stripes on the black mage’s robe made the hearts of the nobles tremble.
n
n
n…
n
n
nIn the gorgeous boudoir, a group of maids were busily surrounding a person.
n
n
n
n
n“Your Highness, your Highness.”
n
n
nA maid with a delicate and pretty face rushed in from outside the door, holding her skirt.
n
n
nBecause she ran too fast, her thin chest was heaving up and down violently, and she was panting.
n
n
n“Sir Joelson Edward has come!”
n
n
n“Really?!”
n
n
nThe young girl, who was enduring the pain and letting the maids busily work, suddenly stood up in front of the mirror in surprise when she heard the news.
n
n
nThe surrounding maids who were busy dressing her called out in a low voice in panic.
n
n
n“Your Highness, don’t move, your hair is going to be messed up!”
n
n
n“Your Highness, the dress, be careful of the dress!”
n
n
n“Dear your Highness, there’s still one more earring to hang.”
n
n
n“It still needs a while. Your Highness, please sit down and wait for a while.”
n
n
nHearing the maids’ exclamations, the young girl obediently sat down again.
n
n
nThe maid who reported the news held her chest with both hands and sighed. “Sir Joelson is even more handsome than in the magic images, and he is so young!”
n
n
n“He is a perfect match for the princess. Her Highness is also sixteen years old this year!”
n
n
n“Only a great genius mage like Sir Joelson can be a match for our Princess!”
n
n
nThe maids were busy, and they began to discuss happily.
n
n
nThe girl’s fair face was slightly hot, and there was a hint of red. She sat quietly in front of the mirror and looked at the delicate and beautiful face in the mirror. She whispered, “Will he really like me?”
n
n
n“Of course!”
n
n
n“Your Highness, how can he not like your Highness!”
n
n
nThe maid next to her bent down and said with a smile, “Look at the pearl of our Alkot Empire, how beautiful it is! I dare to swear that any man will fall in love with you when they see you, your Highness!”
n
n
nHearing the maids around her say this, the young girl laughed and suddenly frowned in distress.
n
n
n“But, what about my hair? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have cut my hair short!”
n
n
n“Your Highness, have you forgotten this?”
n
n
nThe maid handed over a jewellery box, and inside it was a beautiful emerald necklace.
n
n
nThe girl’s distressed eyes suddenly lit up.
n
n
n“Yes, how could I forget? Grandpa Harriet gave it to me on my fifteenth birthday.”
n
n
nThe girl eagerly put on the necklace.
n
n
nThe emerald shone brilliantly against her fair skin.
n
n
nThen, something magical happened.
n
n
nThe young girl’s hair grew out quickly and naturally fell on her petite shoulders.
n
n
nHer hair was the color of purple thorny flowers.
n
n
nHer long purple hair made the young girl’s extremely beautiful face even more charming. Even the maids were stunned.
n
n
nThe corners of the girl’s mouth rose slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face. She secretly thought to herself, ‘this time, he shouldn’t be able to recognize me, right?’
n
n
n…
n
n
nDuring the dinner party, Joelson followed beside Harriet Terrence. During this time, people kept coming to greet them.
n
n
nViscounts, counts, marquises…
n
n
nAll of the important figures who were usually distinguished now came up to greet them with a smile that was close to fawning on them.
n
n
nJoelson was very clear that this was because of Harriet Terrence.
n
n
n“It’s very boring, isn’t it?”
n
n
nHarriet Terrence held a glass of red wine and smiled at Joelson. He sighed and said, “That’s why I’ve always hated such occasions.”
n
n
n“Thank you, teacher.”
n
n
nHarriet Terrence had come here today solely for him.
n
n
nIt meant to tell the entire capital that Joelson was his highly valued disciple.
n
n
n“Sir Harriet Terrence, Sir Joelson.”
n
n
nA middle-aged man with a round figure walked up with a smile and greeted the two of them.
n
n
nHarriet Terrence nodded, and Joelson was just about to respond politely.
n
n
nSuddenly, he saw a familiar face appear behind the middle-aged man.
n
n
nIt was making funny faces continuously, signalling to Joelson.
n
n
nHe paused.
