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.
