Someone is following us, but they haven't turned into a red dot, so it seems to be someone sent from the palace to protect the princess.

I looked back at their position and smiled slightly.

"What are you looking at?"

Maybe she saw my movements, so Princess Michelle asked.

"Nothing, just curious about your architecture."

"Right~ The architecture of our Ais Empire is unique on the whole continent. Not only does it look good, but it's also very practical. But the most beautiful ones are the buildings designed by the masters, those are the pinnacle of art!"

"Oh, really? I'd like to see them someday."

"Of course~"

"But..."

I looked at the people around me, and instead of showing surprise at seeing Princess Michelle, they all smiled kindly.

"Princess Michelle, it seems like everyone is very familiar with you."

"Well, of course~ Everyone is good people~ Everyone treats me well, so I don't just use my power to command others randomly."

"It would be better if you don't use such bloody and violent methods to punish others next time."

"...Do you really dislike it?"

When she heard me say that, Princess Michelle turned around and looked at me.

"Of course, even if you punish others, you have to consider the situation. If there are no serious consequences, you should show mercy."

"Alright, since you say so, that's it."

After saying that, she smiled and ran towards a nearby store.

"Hey hey, can you believe that the princess changed her behavior just because of a classmate's words? What do you think about that?"

Aliyah poked me from the side and said.

"How should I know, people can change when they realize they're wrong."

"...Are you an idiot?"

"What?"

"Well, I give up~"

Aliyah spread her hands and then pulled Yaling along.

"Let's go, let's go see over there~"

After saying that, they completely ignored what Yaling said and went straight towards Princess Michelle.

Hey hey hey, are you just leaving me behind like this? Seriously...

Oh well, since it's like this, I'll also look for something that might be useful to me... But the growling sound from my stomach immediately reminded me that I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

I looked around and made a decision - I'll eat all the food here~

---------------------Scene division line---------------------------

This grilled fish tastes amazing! And this stir-fried meat, it's simply delicious, and the pancake too! It's so tasty!

I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten out much recently or because I'm too hungry, but I ordered a table full of dishes and still didn't feel full.

"Aunty Lam, two more pancakes, please."

"Sure thing~"

Aunty Lam smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

"Wait, it'll be ready in a moment!"

"Yeah."

"Young man, you sure can eat. You don't look as muscular as those knights, but you eat just as much as them."

The one talking to me was Mal, who is in charge of welcoming guests. He is Aunt Lam's son.

"Well, I just never pass up good food."

"Hahaha, I thought you were some kind of noble when you came with the princess. I never thought you would joke around with us just like the princess."

"Well, I'm not a noble. I'm a National Mage."

"National Mage..."

His eyes widened, looking at me as if I were a monster.

"That's impossible! National Mages never smile! And they're all men over 40! You don't even look 30!"

"Well, of course not, I'm not even 20 yet. But..."

I took out my National Mage emblem and waved it.

"I am indeed a National Mage."

"Oh my god..."

Mal rolled his eyes."In these times, anything is possible to happen."

"That's right."

As I said that, I swallowed another pancake.

"Fir! Come over here!"

Suddenly, a message popped up on my screen, sent by Aliyah.

Oh no, can't I even eat something... someone wants to pick a fight so soon?

Just as I was thinking that, someone rushed into the store.

"mage, the princess and her group were..."

"I knew it would be this kind of situation! No need to say more!"

I dropped three gold coins and bit into the last pancake, heading straight towards Aliyah's location on the map.

Sure enough, as soon as I got close, I heard Princess Michelle's voice.

"Henry! Get lost! I told you I never want to see you again! And you dare to bring so many people with you to confront me!"

"Hmph! I won't let go of the grudge from last time! Look, I heard you were back and even dared to leave without the knights. This time I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

"Challenging the imperial authority in front of so many people!"

"Hahaha, what a joke. If any of them dare to speak a word, I'll make sure they can never talk again!"

"You..."

Although there were many guards around, I could still see their names.

Henry, level 14 swordsman, level 2 mage, ice-type, malignant.

Confirming the name of the opponent in the crowd, I smiled.

Target confirmed, let's get started!

"Excuse me, can I ask you for a favor?"

I walked up to one of the knights.

"Huh?"

The knight looked surprised at me, then glanced at his companions.

"Oh, forget about the favor. You all... fly away~"

Three ice totems shot up from the ground, sending the three guards flying before they could react!

Everyone in the circle immediately stopped and looked at me.

"Fir!"

"Who are you!"

Princess Michelle and Henry said at the same time.

"Aliyah, is it really a good idea for you to just watch from the sidelines?"

"Whatever, I'm just giving you the chance, right? That guy wasn't planning to harm me, so why should I bother with him?"

Aliyah said disdainfully.

"You're tough~"

I shook my head and spoke to Henry.

"Aren't you looking for the knight of Princess Michelle? That's me, what do you want with me?"

Henry was dressed lavishly, looking like a nouveau riche, and his unnaturally white hair made him look like a drug addict fresh from a den.

"You? A mage?"

He smiled and gestured with his hand.

"Get rid of him!"

The five guards under him charged at me.

Level 17, 16, 19, 18, 15 knights, are you kidding me?

"Ice Meteor!"

A cold wind blew, and the five knights still moving forward were frozen on the spot, still in their respective actions.

At this moment, the three guards who had just been knocked up fell to the ground, landing heavily, with only a sliver of HP left.

"Don't worry~ I didn't kill them, but if someone dares to make a move, I can't guarantee it anymore~"

I smiled and walked towards Henry, who now had a pale face and kept retreating.

"What... what do you want to do! You're provoking the nobility, you know that!"

"The nobility..."

I chuckled.

"Just like you said earlier, as long as the people who can report can't speak, then everything will be fine, right?"

"You... you want to kill me..."

"That depends on your attitude. Now, get lost, and I'll spare you."

"I... I..."

Henry struggled with himself, looking at Princess Michelle and then at me.

"I told you to leave, didn't you hear!"

"I..."

Just at that moment, a dagger stabbed through my chest!

"Hahaha, I'll fight you!"The blood gauge dropped in an instant to just a trace! I quickly blinked behind him.

Yue Yan, level 24 assassin, neutral, affiliated with the Fierce Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Dressed in a black outfit with a layer of magical patterns on top, it seems that it was the thing that hindered my attack reminder.

After reading a few key words, I sighed helplessly.

"To think there's still an assassin, not simple."

Then, I directly grabbed hold of him and stabbed him from behind with the sleeve blade before he could react.

Although it only reduced his health by 1/5, the 100% additional bleeding, 100% poison, and 100% corrosion effects should be enough for him as an assassin.

Then I spread my angelic wings and my HP instantly replenished.

"I said before, I let you go just now, but now... Although I don't easily kill, since you want me dead, I won't let you off without a little punishment. You won't learn your lesson otherwise, right?"
