The next day

Loran Academy

Looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of her, Rojay was surprised and happy.

"Alf, you, why are you here?"

The man was dressed in a solid black gown, his clothes were straight. Although he was past middle age, his hairline had shifted back significantly, and a few strands of white hair had crept up to his temples, it was still hard to hide the rigid aura in his eyes.

In the face of Rojay's question, the man bent down and bowed respectfully.

"Missy, how are you doing on your own this time, you must have suffered a lot?"

"It's okay ......" Rojay was a little embarrassed, "You came all the way here to find me just to talk about this?"

"Miss, you won't have to suffer anymore." Alf smiled and said, "From today on, I will take care of you."

"Huh?" Rojay almost fell over.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you not hear what I said?"

"I think it's you who didn't hear me!" For some reason, Rojay suddenly exploded and rebuked loudly, "I told you that I don't need your care during my time at Loran Academy! Are you deaf or an idiot? Quickly go back home, don't play the warmth card with me, I don't take it!"

Alf's smile instantly stiffened.

"Miss, this, this is the master's order, I can't do anything about it." Alf said awkwardly, "The master is really worried about you. Loran Academy has so many genius, he is afraid that you will suffer, so he sent me to protect you ......."

"That stinky old man?" At the mention of that man, Rojay's face changed dramatically, "Humph, Alf you go back and tell him that I appreciate his good intentions and tell him to stop interfering in my affairs! I'm not a child, I don't need his protection, I'm almost an adult!"

"Miss, the master also has good intentions ......"

"Good intentions? Don't follow him and lie to me! I know, he must have his eyes on which family's young master again, planning to let me go to be a slave for someone else!" Rojay couldn't help but break out in curses.

"This ......" Alf was in a cold sweat.

It seems that the young lady still holds a grudge for what happened before, Alf thought .

But it wasn't all her fault, the master had done something wrong. The Childers had a large family with many children and grandchildren, and although Rojay was not his favorite youngest daughter, there were times when things were not well thought out.

But that misunderstanding was so big that it made a big joke and caused a psychological wound that was hard to heal, so the master sent him to take care of her, which was a way to make up for it.

But as soon as he came up he messed up, he couldn't just go back like this, could he?

"Miss." Alf quickly got an idea and changed the subject, "You don't seem to be in a good mood today, did someone upset you?"

"It's not because of you!" Rojay turned her head and ignored him.

Seeing this,Alf's heart was at ease. The lady was clearly saying that she needed help! She must be in trouble!

If we can help Miss solve the trouble, Alf will be able to stay without any problems.

"Tell me, Miss, who is it that is making you angry, and I will go teach him a lesson!"

"Really, no need ......" Rojay wanted to refuse, but after seeing Alf's sincere eyes, she couldn't help but hesitate, "Who else could it be, it's that Lin Xiao. "

"Lin Xiao? May I ask Miss, is he from the Dongxia clan?"

"Well, yes." Rojay nodded.

Lin Xiao was mediocre in appearance and superior in strength, a passerby who would disappear the next second he was thrown in a pile of people. The reason why Rojay remembered this extremely thin presence was still because of his short black hair and odd name - surname Lin, first name Xiao, that was the unique naming style of the Dongxia clan.

She didn't know much about the Dongxia Clan, except that she had read in books that the Dongxia Clan were a peace-loving race, hard-working and brave, intelligent, and had established the Great Qin Empire in the easternmost oceanic archipelago, and had been friends with the four kingdoms of the Irene Continent for generations, across the sea, with few wars.

In recent years, the Dongxia tribe living in the Oceanic Islands has somehow appeared frequently in the Irene continent. They have the trademark black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and their appearance is slightly different from the people of the four kingdoms of the Irene continent, however, this difference is not enough to make a lasting impression on him.

Even Rojay, a native of the Irene Continent, has long pink hair that is different from the norm, and is more striking than the Dongxia clan.

The key, however, is location.

The Lombard kingdom is located in the center of the Irene continent, far from the easternmost oceanic islands, and the Dongxia clan has to cross the White Waves Sea, cross the vast eastern plains, and then go through several canyons and dense forests.

What Rojay knew about the Dongxia clan, in addition to Lin Xiao there was another person, that person was said to be the princess of the Great Qin Empire, it seems to be called what, what Ying, a few years ago after the negotiation of the kings and Cesar's prince entered into a marriage contract, which has always haunted Rojay. The two countries' kings had agreed to marry the emperor a few years ago. Of course, it was just a political marriage without feelings. Neither Rojay nor Cesar had ever seen the princess of Qin, whose name was some Ying.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, is the only one from Loran Academy who lives beside them, visible and tangible, of the Dongxia clan, which naturally impresses Rojay.

"Humph, is the Dongxia clan remarkable?" Rojay was full of sarcasm.

Speaking of which, the Dongxia clan is quite mysterious, with a different power system and cultivation methods than the four kingdoms ...... Could this be the problem?

Rojay had a guess - the reason why Lin Xiao's magic power had skyrocketed was perhaps not cheating, but using some kind of secret technique of the Dongxia clan!

That guy Lin Xiao, could he be hiding some secret?

"Miss, that kid's name is Lin Xiao, right? I don't care if he's from the Dongxia clan, I'm going to teach him a lesson for you!" Alf didn't notice Rojay's girlishness, he rolled up his sleeves and said he would do it, with a fierce stance of beating Lin Xiao.

"Hey, hey, you come back here!" Rojay was startled and hurriedly pulled him back, "I, I was just joking, why can't you people understand words?"

"But that brat bullied you, Miss ......"

"Go to hell, you! Don't talk nonsense, what he bullied me ...... so shame! I'm not being bullied!" Rojay did not know what to associate with, her face suddenly reddened.

"Uh, Miss ......"

"Anyway, you should leave this alone, I have to go to class later, you should go now!"

"But Master told me to ......" Alf’s head full of black line, did not know whether to go nor not to go.

"Alas, forget it, then you can follow me to class. What a nuisance!"

Although she said she was reluctant, Rojay felt warm and fuzzy inside about Alf's arrival. It looked like her dumb old man hadn't forgotten about her.

As one of the top colleges on the mainland, Loran Academy has many noble children, so the school allows students to bring a servant with them. Rojay is not breaking school rules by taking Alf to school, just a little high-profile.

But is it really a good idea to bring Alf? The other students in the class didn't have servants, and Cesar, who was a prince, was a loner and never brought servants, so would she look too delicate and annoying?

After thinking about it, Rojay finally arrived at the classroom.

When she entered the classroom, it was quiet, not the usual noise. Rojay paid no attention and walked straight to Cesar's seat

The classroom is not as quiet as usual.

Today's Cesar was still handsome, but he seemed a little distracted?

"Hi, Cesar, good morning, I ......."

"Good morning." Cesar replied absentmindedly.

"Eh?"

Although Rojay had long been accustomed to Cesar's perfunctory approach, today, Rojay felt that something was wrong. Cesar seemed to be even colder to her! Although he was saying hello, his attention was not on her at all!

What's going on here? Looking up and scanning the whole classroom, Rojay finally found the problem!

The last row of seats by the window, Lin Xiao, who missed class yesterday, finally showed up today, and he was sitting in his seat, but that's not the point, the point is that behind Lin Xiao was actually standing a super pretty girl!

Rojay was horrified.

When did that guy Lin Xiao get such a beautiful girlfriend?
