Chapter 125: A Young Girl’s Thoughts

Early the next morning, at the Cain family mansion.

William carried breakfast and entered the study, pushing the door open.

Yesterday, when he returned with Lisa in his arms, the servants in the mansion were still quite surprised.

Because they had never seen Lisa without her hood, they were curious why Master William suddenly brought a woman home.

Among them, the expression of the maid Rosie was the strangest, a bit lost, but it seemed like she quickly cheered up.

But William didn’t pay much attention to it last night, he just put Lisa on her bed and covered her with a blanket before leaving.

Estimating that Lisa hadn’t had breakfast yet, William specially brought a portion to the study.

There was a small room behind the study where Lisa usually stayed.

It’s also thanks to Lisa’s very introverted nature that she was satisfied staying in the study and bedroom, occasionally going out for a walk when no one was around.

William definitely couldn’t stand this kind of lifestyle.

“Lisa, can I come in?”

William entered the study with breakfast, but this time Lisa didn’t respond.

“Still sleeping?”

William was a bit puzzled. Usually, Lisa would have been up early in the morning when he came to the study.

What’s the situation today, too tired?

William knocked on the door of the inner room. Seeing no response, he directly pushed the door open.

Seeing Lisa lying on the small bed facing the inside, covered with a blanket, William didn’t say anything, gently placed the breakfast on the small table by the bed, and then turned and left.

It’s a pity, he wanted to ask Lisa what she had been doing with the teacher these days.

To be honest, William was quite curious because when he saw Lisa yesterday, he noticed that the aura of the four basic elements on her body was much stronger, something he hadn’t noticed before.

Just after William closed the door and left for a while, Lisa turned over, looked at the breakfast on the table that William had placed, her fair cheeks blushing, looking quite charming.

“Mmm~”

Lisa suddenly pulled the blanket over her head, as if avoiding something.

Yesterday, when William carried her back in a princess carry, Lisa woke up halfway.

But that situation was really embarrassing, Lisa didn’t know how to react, so she pretended to still be asleep, letting William carry her all the way back to the mansion and gently place her on her bed.

Master William, why are you so bold!?

Although William had been quite nice to her before, she didn’t expect him to just carry her back home like that.

Fortunately, Lisa was wearing thick clothes at the time, plus a windbreaker, otherwise William would have definitely noticed that her body was getting hot.

“Isn’t this just like in those romance novels in the study, like a princess and a knight!”

Lisa muttered to herself with her head covered.

Forgive Lisa, she hardly interacts with others, and all her knowledge and information come from the books in the study.

Those romance novels, she really didn’t know which former head of the family left them there.

After being carried back by William yesterday, she tossed and turned in bed, hardly sleeping all night.

Just when she was half asleep, she heard William’s voice, which woke her up.

But as soon as she heard the voice, the image of William surfaced in her mind, and Lisa, feeling shy, didn’t know how to face it, so she continued pretending to be asleep.

What’s going on, this is so annoying!

She always feels like she’s becoming weird.

The next time Master William comes to find her, does she have to pretend to be asleep again?

The white-haired girl felt troubled.

Fis Street, a secluded building somewhere.

In the study,

Second Prince Julius spent more and more time in the study, seemingly finding solace only there.

“Robert, how are things going?”

Julius stood by the window, asking Robert who had just walked in: “Your Highness Julius, everything has been arranged according to your orders.”

“This time, the selected Viscount Bloom, Baron Victor, Baron Carpenter, and Baron Kaisel, I have personally arranged for people to test them, absolutely no problems.”

Robert quickly lowered his head, respectfully answering.

Since encountering variables like William, Robert has become much more cautious in his actions.

This time, even for the most ordinary barons, he personally deployed arrangements to ensure that there were no loopholes.

A lot of time was wasted waiting for the right moment, although the final result showed that the several nobles selected this time were truly ordinary, with no special qualities.

Unlike William!

Robert still remembers how he almost fainted when he learned that William had become a legendary mage’s disciple.

Camus, you really deserve to die!

Although the initial list was decided by him and His Highness Julius, that doesn’t stop Robert from shifting the blame onto Camus.

‘If it didn’t feel right, he should have given up, instead of messing around like this!’

Robert felt bitterly resentful, completely forgetting that it was him who had pressured Camus to act quickly in the first place.

Upon hearing Robert’s report, Julius didn’t show any joy because of the smooth progress of things.

“This time” this word struck a chord with Julius.

When selecting assassination targets initially, William was just an insignificant figure in his eyes.

Even at the annual noble soirées in the palace, Julius had never seen him.

But the results gave Julius a big surprise!

When Robert initially reported that there were issues with testing William, Julius didn’t pay much attention.

What if he’s a Silver Mage, as a prince of the Fis Kingdom, only Gold-ranked experts would garner his respect.

Julius planned to change the assassination target mainly because it became inconvenient to target William after he was privately received by the king.

Initially, Julius even planned to meet this Viscount Kane, it would have been even better if he could win him over.

But before Julius could find an opportunity, he received news that William had been taken in as a disciple by the “Flame of Judgement” Apollo Stephens.

This changes everything!

It should be noted that as a legendary mage, Apollo’s position is undeniably prestigious.

Moreover, unlike the legendary monk who presides over the palace, Apollo’s relationship with the kingdom is one of cooperation, not someone nurtured by the kingdom.

To outsiders, it’s as if William has picked up a big advantage, being taken in as a disciple by that esteemed individual.

But Julius knows very well that the standards of this dean have always been strict.

In other words, can William, like Hilda, break through that barrier in the future?

Julius let out a heavy breath, no longer thinking about these things.

At this point, Julius has no choice but to move forward.

Even if he wants to give up, those border dukes and court nobles won’t agree, they will definitely push him forward forcibly.

He can only follow the set plan!

Julius tightened his fist and said in a deep voice:

“In that case, notify everyone, on the day of the Annual Holy Festival, proceed according to plan!”
