I am not sure why, but Kellen did not receive any options from the system at this critical turning point, which is a bit strange.

Overall, the result is the same, as the change in favorability has rewarded him with attributes.

It's worth mentioning that he didn't gain anything from the Grand Princess, indicating that she is in a state of neglect towards him.

This is good news for Kellen, as in just a few days, he can create massive changes that will be too late for the Grand Princess to react.

"Carroll, you did great today. I'll take you out for a big meal tonight."

Walking along the path in the academy, Kellen reached out and rubbed Carroll's head. It was because of her presence that today's plan went so smoothly.

"Why do they want to harm the master?" Carroll tilted her head and looked at Kellen with confusion, not understanding the motives of the Grand Princess and the others.

"The reason is simple. It's for the sake of stable reign. Despite the Grand Princess's good methods, the current situation within the Kingdom of Xiya is too complicated. Especially with my family being too powerful, even if she becomes the queen, she won't be able to sleep peacefully. So ambitious Hilna wants to eliminate the threat of the Kate family."

Speaking up to this point, Kellen smiled meaningfully, "And I, an ordinary and incompetent person, have given her this opportunity. As long as she holds me, the entire Kate family will be severely restricted. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Mmm," Carroll nodded seriously.

Being clever, she could easily understand the key points.

As Kellen led her closer to the academy's wall, Carroll asked with curiosity, "Aren't we going back to class now?"

"No rush. There's something more important we need to do right now, Carroll. Do you know what is the most important thing in this world?"

Kellen brought Carroll to the edge of the wall; the two-meter wall couldn't stop him at all.

He slightly bent his waist, carrying Carroll in a princess carry, and with her soft exclamation, Kellen bent his knees and lightly leaped over the wall.

In fact, there were protective magic arrays on the walls of the Royal Magic Academy, but Kellen was precisely positioned at its loophole.

"In this world, power is the most important thing, despite influence, money, and connections being important too. Just imagine, if I have absolute power right now, would Hilna dare to make a move against me? Ultimately, it's because the power we've deployed in the capital city is too little. Once I have my family's Silvermoon Knights stationed here, not only will they not be able to imprison me, but even if I dominate her, she will have to endure it in silence."

This was Kellen's genuine thought, but it would probably take three to five days to have his Silvermoon Knights here.

Within this time period, he could only keep a low profile and respond accordingly. Once his Silvermoon Knights arrived, it would be the perfect opportunity for a counterattack.

Speaking of the Silvermoon Knights, the first thing Kellen thought of was the exquisite figure with silver long hair.

He could never forget that day, that beautiful figure, drenched in blood, saved him from the darkness with a sword in hand.

If it wasn't for her, Kellen would have probably spent his past life as a hostage in a prison and there wouldn't be the following stories.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was one of the few rays of light in Kellen's desperate past life.

Unfortunately, by the time the Grand Princess had gained enough power, many things had already become a fait accompli. It was also during that time that the Kate family was labeled as traitors, repeatedly subjected to purges.

She had also suffered more injuries in battle, until she eventually died in front of him in their last battle.

He had gone through anger, sadness, despair, and finally found peace.

As these complex emotions intertwined and continued into this life, his predominant feeling was excitement.

That desire for revenge seemed to surge up from his throat, to be unleashed to the fullest extent, like a madman.Luckily, he's not a real lunatic.

"Master, you seem to be smiling a bit wickedly. Everyone is looking at you," Carroll said, pulling Kellen's hand as many passersby were giving them strange looks.

"It's okay, let them laugh. Let's go to the Knight Academy next," Kellen said, grabbing Carroll's hand and leading her in the direction of the Knight Academy.

"The Knight Academy?" Carroll asked.

"Yes, there are a few good talents worth cultivating there. We better take them down now," Kellen said without looking back.

Although these talents were clearly inferior to the silver-haired girl, they had caused quite a bit of trouble for them later on. That's why he planned to intercept the Crown Princess Hilna.

It was now just one month away from the graduation season at the Knight Academy, and it was usually the time when many forces came to select their desired students and sign contracts with them, so that they could work for the respective forces after graduation. Doing the math, it should be today.

"I didn't expect to be so busy today."

Because of holding Carroll's hand, Kellen stretched out lazily with one hand, not very smoothly.

......

On the other side of the Knight Academy, the recruitment process was currently underway.

In the largest classroom of the Knight Academy, representatives sent by the Crown Princess were discussing matters with the top three students of the academy.

In the main seats were a middle-aged couple who were subordinates of the Crown Princess.

"I believe you all already know that the power behind us is the Crown Princess. It is not an exaggeration to say that among the many princes and princesses in the Kingdom of Westia, the Crown Princess wields the greatest influence.

As long as you follow the Crown Princess, your future will be bright," the middle-aged woman said, taking out three contract scrolls and placing them on the table. "A monthly commission of ten gold coins, a contract term of thirty years. If you achieve greater success in the future, you may even get promoted and receive a raise."

Sitting in the audience were three young girls. Although they were only eighteen years old, they already had determined looks on their faces.

Long-term training had given them dynamic curves, and the beautiful lines not only didn't make them rough, but added a unique sense of power.

In terms of appearance, they may have a certain gap compared to Phils and Anna, but they were still at an excellent level. Even the picky Kellen would praise them as beautiful.

After hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the three girls glanced at each other, and the leader, a girl with black hair, spoke up, "Can you give us some time to think? Because other families have contacted us before today, so..."

"So what!" The middle-aged man interrupted the girl before she could finish her sentence. He didn't want to delay any further, as he had other excellent talents he wanted to recruit as well, and if he came too late, someone else might snatch them away.

Numbers were performance, and he wanted to perform well in front of the Crown Princess.

So he stood up arrogantly and said, "Moreover, we are offering you ten times the price of other outstanding students. If you refuse, it would be very disrespectful and you would be disregarding the Crown Princess. This is my final word. If you miss this opportunity, don't expect any other forces to take you in, as they would be against the Crown Princess and the royal family!"

Upon hearing the arrogant words of the middle-aged man, the faces of the three girls turned dark.

They were angry, but they had to admit that what he said was true.

As knights about to graduate from the academy, they didn't have many choices available to them.

Suddenly, a voice even more arrogant than the middle-aged man's rang out.

"Oh? Going against the royal family? I'm interested when you say that."

Looking towards the door, he saw a boy entering the classroom with a servant, followed by an elderly principal.
