"Master Kellen, I will definitely inform the Grand Princess of what happened today, and I believe she will have a good talk with you."

Witnessing the signing of the contract by Eve and her sisters, Andersen could only bring up the Grand Princess again to deliver a harsh warning.

If he fails this mission, not only will he have his salary reduced, but he will also face certain punishments.

Kellen happily collected the three signed scrolls and replied, "I've told you before, the Grand Princess and I have a good relationship. Why don't you believe me?

She is my teacher, and I am her student. Can she really kill me?"

Although this remark was meant as a joke, the Grand Princess was capable of doing such things.

In Kellen's understanding, this woman was not only selfish and profit-seeking, but also liked to play dirty tricks. Aside from her good looks, he couldn't find any other merits in her.

Of course, this viewpoint was made from the perspective of an enemy. In most people's eyes, she was still the powerful and good queen who served the country and the people.

Andersen snorted coldly at Kellen's words and left the classroom. As he passed by the middle-aged woman, he even glared at her intentionally.

In his view, the woman was clearly afraid and dare not say a word against Kellen, a nobleman.

In order to redeem himself, he had to go to the Warrior Academy immediately, hoping to find a few good recruits.

The principal, Bridge, who witnessed this scene, quietly left the classroom, leaving the space to Kellen and the others.

After annoying Andersen, Kellen shifted his gaze back to Eve and her sisters. Now that there were no irrelevant people around, he could speak freely.

Kellen: "First of all, thank you for your trust. I promise you will never regret today's choice.

Secondly, there is something I want to inform you in advance. Compared to other students, you may start working earlier. I will send someone to pick you up in about three days."

Three days was approximately the time it would take for the Silver Moon Knights to arrive at the Royal City. Following the knights would allow them to receive better training and grow faster.

"Can we have an idea of what kind of work it will be?" asked Eve, the black-haired girl, curious about their future work.

"Probably something related to war," Kellen answered with a completely different smile from before.

In Eve's eyes, Kellen was no longer the shy younger brother but a confident and mature older brother, giving her a completely different feeling.

Although the two appearances were vastly different, they both made her feel a throbbing in her heart, even ignoring the crucial matter of war.

"War? Is it a war against the neighboring country?" asked the lively girl, Shilin, with curiosity.

They didn't reject combat; in fact, it had already become part of their lives.

In their years of study at the Knight Academy, their main focus was killing enemies and protecting others. Compared to the Warrior Academy, the things knights had to learn were more complex.

"You will know when the time comes. If it wasn't a special period, I would prefer to have you stay by my side and protect me," Kellen said, reaching out to pat the girl's head, continuing to earn Favorability.

Faced with such intimate action from Kellen, even the lively Shilin lowered her head in shyness.

The only regret was that they weren't important characters, so the gained favorability wouldn't grant any attribute rewards.

But who would refuse the admiration and favor from beautiful girls?

Before being chopped by the firewood, this kind of thing was undoubtedly beneficial.

...

While Kellen was chatting with the girls and building their favorability, the middle-aged woman had already gone to the Royal Mage Academy.

However, she was a bit late when she arrived. Grand Princess Hilna was in the middle of teaching Fierce, so she could only crouch outside the classroom and wait silently.

People who affected the Grand Princess's plans or interrupted her classes often didn't have a good ending, so before delivering bad news, she felt it was okay to wait a little longer.

Unfortunately, she ended up waiting for nearly an hour. It was only when the students began leaving one by one that she entered the classroom, feeling uneasy.In the classroom at this moment, besides Hilna, there was also Fierce's presence.

"How come you're back, Korsya? Where's Anderson?" Hilna, standing at the podium, asked without raising her head.

Fierce, sitting in the front row, made a small cough. If it wasn't for Hilna's class, she might have taken a nap.

"Hilna, Your Highness, I'm extremely sorry. The recruiting mission you sent us to the Knights Academy for has failed," the middle-aged woman Korsya looked at Hilna with an ashamed expression.

"What happened? Tell me the details." Hilna put down the books in her hand and looked at Korsya with a commanding presence.

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged woman nervously said, "Here's what happened. The recruiting plan was going smoothly, and we were almost at the stage of signing contracts. But at this moment, Lord Kellen rushed in."

"Kellen?" Hilna furrowed her brows.

"Fierce exclaimed, "Kellen!"

Korsya continued, "Yes, Lord Kellen suddenly intervened and offered a very high commission, leaving us with no resistance. He gave me a very special feeling, not like the rumors of his incompetence. I felt like he deliberately targeted you, Your Highness."

"That's strange. She was just in the study room not long ago, and now she's at the Knights Academy. Is this a coincidence?" Hilna tapped the podium with her finger, contemplating carefully.

Just as Korsya said, today's Kellen did give her a strange feeling, as if he had become more dangerous.

In just one afternoon, her plans had failed twice in a row, which made her wonder.

"It should be intentional, but it's hard to say who he's targeting. In my opinion, it's more likely that this pervert has taken a liking to the three beautiful flowers in the Knights Academy," Fierce's eyes rolled as she looked at Korsya and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, he intercepted the three most beautiful girls in the Knights Academy, right?"

"Well, that's right, but..." Korsya wanted to explain further.

Fierce waved her hand and continued to play her role, "There's nothing to say. I don't know this pervert well. Despite appearing on the surface as a shy boy, he's actually full of perverted desires. When he held my hand today, he secretly touched the palm of my hand. If I spend some time alone with him, who knows what might happen?"

As an undercover agent, she diligently carried out her task.

"Forget it, the most urgent task is to continue with the next step. Fierce, you can go home with him tonight. Remember to bring the evidence stone, and I want to see his crime tomorrow," Hilna said after a moment of silence. Then she walked to Fierce's side and patted her shoulder, saying, "I'm sorry, but we don't have much time left, so I can only ask you to make this sacrifice. I'll remember all the effort you've put into this. Once we resolve the Kate family, your family will become the new duke's household."

"Okay..." Fierce lowered her head and responded with a melancholic tone.

She wasn't bowing her head because she was sad, but because she didn't want Hilna to see the smile on her face.

What duke? She wanted to be the queen!

Since the princess had asked her to sacrifice her most precious innocence, she wouldn't regret it.

She had made up her mind about this undercover mission!
