Chapter 328: The coat looks good on you.

“It should all be done by evening.”

“Evening?”

“That is correct.”

Lavinia nodded.

“I plan to deliver four lectures in a day. Each lecture will be for a different age range and will last an hour.”

“So a total of four hours?”

“Yes.”

Lavinia nodded without any change in her expression, and Kael, who saw her expression, was taken aback by the Princess’s shamelessness.

People here in Ashen Heights worked for 12 hours a day. It was cruel, almost inhuman, but these people had no other choice. Their population was low, their resources were scarce. To survive, they had to push themselves to the limit. Even he, the respected Dragon Rider, was no exception to this rule and was expected to work for the same duration.

Then there’s this woman, boldly claiming that she would only be working for four hours without any change in her expression.

‘Nobles indeed have a thick face.’

Kael nodded to himself as he glanced at Lavinia’s face.

The Princess, oblivious to his thoughts, continued,

“Magic is an extensive and ever-growing study which requires a lot of time. Even though I have promised to raise the people’s magic foundation and make it comparable to the mages outside,

By the time we get to their level, they would have advanced even further.

To keep up with them, I would need to continue my study and develop on my own. I will essentially be racing against all the mages in the outside world alone, and I wouldn’t be able to survive in this race if I spent all my time teaching Ashen Heights’ mages.”

“Yes, I understand that!

I am sorry for placing such a large burden on you. I will see to it that, other than the four-hour training, you will not be burdened with anything else and will have the time to continue and develop your magic.”

Aelindra nodded her head and once again, Kael just raised his eyebrow in amazement.

To think not only she made it so that she will only be working for four hours, she also made the people here feel grateful for it.

The Princess was indeed on an entirely different level.

Kael once again nodded to himself.

‘I need to learn this skill.’

He muttered in his head.

‘A true politician indeed.’

“I am grateful.”

Lavinia nodded back with a light smile.

“I hope to see Lady Aelindra in tomorrow’s lecture then.”

“Yes!”

Aelindra nodded again, and in her excitement,

“I will also make sure you get the report as soon as possible!”

She announced.

“Now, please have a good rest.”

With those words, the woman walked away, leaving Kael and Lavinia alone. The two continued walking towards their room in silence.

Kael knew there were people around so he didn’t say anything. However, once they were back in their rooms, he turned towards Lavinia and—

“…That went well, didn’t it?”

He commented sarcastically.

“Indeed.”

Lavinia nodded. From the light smile she had on her face, it was clear that the woman was satisfied.

“So… ‘the Trueflow Magic’ huh? I didn’t know you had created a new magic system.”

Kael commented, looking right into Lavinia’s eyes.

He had been silent about this all this time, but now that they were alone, he confronted the woman. Hearing his words, Lavinia’s smile faltered for a moment as her mouth twitched. Soon, however, she coughed and her expression returned to normal,

“I had to show them something to gain their attention.

I had no other choice.”

She explained herself.

“I think it would have been fine if you had shown your normal talent.”

Of course, Kael wasn’t planning to be fooled.

“…Well.”

Lavinia paused for a moment. Soon, however, she found a perfect place to dump all the blame—

“You saw it as well, didn’t you? The little ones were raring to go.”

She pointed at Pyra.

“Krrii??”

The Fire Spirit blinked in surprise. However, as if understanding what Lavinia wanted, soon a determined expression appeared on her face as she clenched her little fists.

“Krriiii!!!”

It was almost as if she was saying, ‘Fight!!’

Yes, she was adorable.

And in front of the adorable, Kael had no choice but to give in. The Princess knew his weakness.

“But still…”

Soon, the Hero sighed,

“To think that you would only need to work for four hours while I need to work for twelve, it is so unfair.

When am I going to train?? When am I going to play with my children???”

It looked as if the Hero was about to cry.

Lavinia stared at him for a moment, and then—

“Endure it for a few days, it is important. You need to understand the working of the Ashen Heights from the ground level.”

She spoke with a sincere look on her face.

“If it is so important, then shouldn’t you understand it with me as well?”

Kael questioned. Lavinia momentarily paused and then,

“That would be too inefficient. We do not have the luxury to waste time.”

The Princess then stared at Kael and,

“There are two of us, we should do this together, as companions.

You focus on understanding, I will focus on developing.

We can always share our findings at night.”

A sincere look then appeared on Lavinia’s face and,

“You said you trust me, didn’t you?”

“…Tsk.”

Kael snorted.

“Don’t keep bringing that up. I feel like you are using it to be lazy.”

He had no choice but to give up when the Princess put it like that.

“I won’t be lazy, I promise.”

Lavinia chuckled lightly.

“Alright.”

Kael nodded back.

“But I must say, you are much more comfortable with lying than I initially expected. I was told you do not lie and were honest, naively honest, but I don’t see that.”

He commented.

At those words, Lavinia smiled self-deprecatingly and—

“I tried being truthful already. Did not work out very well for me, did it?”

Kael turned silent, once again recalling Lavinia’s condition when he first met her. He gently held her hand, showing her that he was here with her. Lavinia’s smile widened as she tightened her grip.

Then, she glanced at Kael and,

“The coat looks good on you.”
