"Are you serious?" Nicole's eyebrows twitched. "I an, do you not have any objections regarding their relationship? As much as I don't want to admit it, Anna was kind of… horrible in the past."
"You said it yourself. It was in the past." Dimitri shook his head helplessly. "Everyone could change. If I don't give them a chance just because of what happened in the past, then that person might not be able to change anymore. Besides, there are not a lot of people who can stand on equal ground with my master."
"In this kingdom alone, there are only two won who can be considered worthy to be my master's wife. One of them is Anna, while the other is the Sword Arbiter's daughter, Sword Princess Zera. However, I can't wrap my head around an Arbiter, especially that old man, so I think Anna is the best candidate."
"Of course, there is also a candidate from neighboring countries..." Dimitri glanced at Damian. "…such as the rumored hidden genius princess, the second princess of the Greenwood Kingdom, Princess Livia. And her biggest contender should be the Pri Minister's daughter, a business genius."
"…" Damian fell silent for a mont. "You surely have prepared for all of this, haven't you? How much have you investigated?"
"I don't understand what you an. I am simply thinking about the Ardagan Family's future in my mind. Seeking the wife for the master is the butler's job, you know." Dimitri looked away.
"If I tell you to cooperate with for matchmaking, what will you do?" Damian asked with a nonchalant expression, but the question seed to be extrely important.
"I would definitely cooperate unless my master tells otherwise."
"…" Damian and Dimitri looked at each other as if they were trying to negotiate. However, Damian ended up sighing, saying, "He is simply too much. I'm just afraid that he will end up causing a disaster instead."
"Are you cursing my master?" Dimitri squinted his eyes.
"Of course not." Damian shrugged.
"Hello, you guys. Why are you talking like Anna is irrelevant? You talk like Anna will end up marrying him. Shouldn't you question whether Anna wants him or not? Don't you know that Anna is extrely beautiful and powerful? There are a lot of people wanting to marry her." Nicole raised her hand, interrupting them.
Damian and Dimitri only looked at her like she was a fool.
"What are you talking about? We are already aware of her reputation. But her action here has shown enough that she is at least interested in him. Their movents are in sync, so what do you want to say?" Damian tilted his head in confusion.
"That's right. Even if she has a lot of suitors, does it really matter if she isn't planning to accept them? I've heard that a lot of those guys are scared because of her eccentric behavior in the past." Dimitri nodded in agreent.
"Why do I feel like I'm the one being bullied?" Nicole let out a sigh. "Then, let's change the topic. What do you think about the skill they are learning right now?"
Dimitri thought for a mont and said, "It's quite a peculiar technique. Instead of relying on the Spirit Abilities, that technique is actually forcing us to learn how to control Spiritual Energy in its purest form."
Damian agreed with him. "Normally, the control is divided into two categories: Soft and Hard Approaches. However, it's simply controlling the ability according to the purpose. anwhile, this technique controls the Spiritual Energy itself. If we infuse our elent or Spirit Ability, there is a chance…"
Dimitri nodded. "Yeah. There is a chance that a sword wave can be used as sothing else, like a barrier or sothing. Of course, it's not good to use an offensive ability as a defensive one, but if you put up your guard, this ability allows you to maximize it. In other words, the purpose of this ability is to bring the full potential of the ability that can't be exerted in its original form."
"That sounds extrely powerful. Does that make the trip worth it?" Nicole asked, especially Damian, who ca from another country.
"Of course. I've been trying to do the sa, but it's harder than I expected. Still, if I continue observing them and try to replicate them, it should be enough to increase my overall abilities. If a person like Dimitri uses it, he won't have to be afraid of a Spirit Transcendence anymore. Bringing this information alone is worth multiple trips."
"I don't really care about the Muivell Kingdom. But if my master wants to spread the knowledge, I'll respect his will. Either way, it's enough if it makes him stronger." Dimitri shook his head.
"Fair point. Why don't you just move to the Greenwood Kingdom? We'll definitely take care of you." Damian smirked.
"Shut up."
While those two were arguing, Noel and Anna seed to have woken up from their ditation.
They imdiately returned to the house. After dinner, Noel continued his training since he was just one step away from completing the training.
To avoid alerting Noel, Anna also did the sa training while making it look like she was struggling with it.
In another three hours, Noel finally managed to complete the training by wrapping his body with a thin layer of Spiritual Energy.
Even his training task was completed since it only required him to last for one second.
"Hahaha! I've finally completed the training!" Noel imdiately stood up, proudly claiming.
"!!!" Anna widened her eyes in shock and said with a gasp. "What? How?"
"Hehe. It must be because of my talent." Noel harrumphed.
"Kh." Anna gritted her teeth, looking very frustrated. "I was just a bit away from it."
"Since you lose, you better prepare to say sothing against your will." Noel smirked evilly.
Anna looked unwilling, but she ended up snorting, "Hmph. Try it. I don't care."
"Alright then. You have to say this." Noel took out a piece of paper containing two words. "Say it!"
Anna read the words written on it out loud without putting much thought into it. But those words suddenly caused him to think about it. After all, those two words were, "I win."
"Huh?" Anna soon noticed the aning and raised her head, looking at Noel's face, which had completely beco serious as if he had realized that she was rely pretending.
