night, it was I who stopped Jean. I wasn’t saying it for him, I was telling the truth. It was just that that night I wanted to figure out who you were.” Nancy approached Claire’s ear and murmured laughingly. To an outsider it looked like a pair of lovers whispering secrets. But the truth was completely different.
“Oh. So what?” Claire smiled while rocking the glass of wine in her hand. The coldness she emitted could make people shiver.
Nancy went mute. So what? That one, cold sentence completely stopped what he was going to say. So what if he stopped Jean or not? Then what was relevant? The most important thing was that this young girl in front of him was no longer a normal person, no longer a man-chaser, but sir Cliff’s disciple!
“If your Highness doesn’t have any more to say, I would like to be alone for a while.” Claire said lazily, leaning on the balcony railing. Her gaze floated towards the quiet garden.
Nancy paused for a moment before nodding his head. “If that’s so, I’ll be taking my leave.”
Claire nodded with not so much as a glance towards Nancy.
Finally the balcony was quiet again. Claire quietly sighed and drank from the glass of wine.
“This person is definitely not ordinary.” Walter’s voice sounded in Claire’s head.
“Really now?” Claire half-heartedly replied.
“His gaze was a king’s gaze.” Walter said, certain.
“Hah, when did you start sounding like those hypocrites?” Claire mocked. But really, she knew the situation very clearly. The contest for the throne had already started, but she had no intention of joining their battle. It was always like that in the royal family. From the moment you were born into it, the words familial affection were basically already a huge joke. As long as it didn’t affect who she cared about, she didn’t care about it.
“I didn’t! I understand a little bit of star reading.” Walter refuted stoutly.
“Oh really? Then, O, great star reader, why couldn’t you read that you would meet the overpowered Holy Divine Son that day? Why couldn’t you read that you weren’t his match?” Claire’s venomous tongue retorted even more unyielding.
“Well, well… I said I only understand a bit.” Walter withered.
The corner of Claire’s mouth lifted into an imperceptible smile. For some reason, it was interesting poking fun at Walter.
But Claire understood Walter actually knew a bit of star reading. The second prince Nancy had a big chance of becoming the next emperor because he had the hidden support of Duke Gordon. As for Duke Gordon, he must have his own reasons for supporting the prince secretly.
“Claire, what are you thinking? When can we leave? This place seems annoying.” Walter voice sounded in Claire’s head, “Also, your first Master says he was going to help me, so how is it going?”
“I’m debating on how to give you a bath, either frying or boiling.” Claire said coldly after hearing Walter’s last sentence. “If you want to receive anything, first ask yourself what you have given. Around here, before you demand, you must first contribute.”
Walter shivered. This little devil!!! Just now they were joking around, and he became careless and thought it would easier to talk to her. But in truth, her beautiful clothes couldn’t cover this little devil’s inherent maliciousness.
“But, but right now I don’t have any power, how can I help you?” Walter pouted, like he was hugely wronged.
“When we get back, tell me all about dark magic. Tell me every spell you know, so I can go home and study it.” This request was too greedy, too much. But, that is if Claire was of the Dark nature. Walter curled his lip. Who cared if he told. Did Claire think it was a big deal? In any case, Claire can’t learn Dark magic because of her attribute and position, and based on Claire’s devil personality, she would not teach anyone any magic. In short, telling Claire about Dark magic was basically no loss to Walter.
“Okay okay, no problem, no problem at all.” Walter promised in a rush, then added, “When can we leave this stupid place? The Light essence on that old man and Holy Divine Prince makes me nauseated.” Even though Walter didn’t have a body anymore, that dense and pure Light essence still made him very disgusted and uncomfortable.
“When the banquet ends.” Claire answered casually. Walter was just about to sigh out loud, disappointed, when Claire slyly added, “But, I can take you to the garden for a walk, then leave when the banquet ends.”
“Yay, Claire you are such a nice person.” Walter couldn’t help but exclaiming. Then he came back to his senses and convulsed. Devil! Big, big devil! Set a trap for him so he would call her nice. If she was a nice person, then there would be no nice people on the world.
In the garden, a cool breeze blew. Claire sat quietly on the bench, gazing at the starry night. Right above her, the brightest star was twinkling.
“A legendary person has been born, most likely in this country.” Walter’s voice suddenly floated into Claire’s ear.
“Why do you say so?” Claire was
