Sirius seriously went over the list he obtained from and remarked, "I see so familiar nas." He must have already been aware of them. And the rest were just a bonus.
"How you use this information is up to you. I won't be interfering in your internal affairs." I made my stance clear and warned him of my involvent. Interfering here would not only create headaches for , but I won't obtain anything from this. No need to overwork myself when there are no incentives involved.
"I see." He simply replied and then went quiet. It seems there is sothing else. "Is there sothing else you need to discuss with ?" I asked. Sirius was hesitating which ant it was a favor, not an exchange. Of course, he will give sothing for it but he won't be in the neutral position but the passive party.
"Did you know of the bridge incident?" Sirius asked, hinting at my knowledge about Zeren. I smirked lightly and reassured him, "Don't worry. I won't tell Desmond anything about it."
It wasn't much of a favor anyway. In the first place, I had nothing to do with Zeren and his circumstances. Sure, he was wronged but he wasn't squeaky clean as well. The true victims of this incident are innocents but Zeren was anything but innocent so although I sympathize with the victims, I didn't feel such a thing for Zeren.
So if he was worried that knowing Zeren's history, so sense of justice would awaken in , he was sorely mistaken. Of course, that doesn't an that the seven kingdom's actions were amicable too.
Anyway, I should make a request of my own now. If there is sothing I severely dislike, it's becoming second. Even though my performance on the test was amazing, having missed the written tests, my ranking would have been greatly affected. Becoming second in the ranking was as good as becoming the last one.
But Sirius can solve that problem for . And besides, I won't be asking him to change the results, I just want him to conduct tests for once again. I was confident I would ace them. "I seem to have missed my theoretical tests, can you ask the professor to conduct special theory exams tomorrow?"
If he agreed to change my ranking, that would be great but if he wasn't willing to be biased, he could at least grant this request given I had done so much for the academy. Had any of those students been captured, no matter how much the seven kingdoms were involved, the academy's reputation would have suffered too.
"Although there won't be a need to do so since you will still remain first ranked, however, if you want to elevate your score, you can take the theoretical tests tomorrow under Michelle's supervision," Sirius inford . Although it was good news that I was still first ranked, my rank in the test this ti wouldn't be SS like all the ranks up until now so I agreed to take the tests.
Sirius left since there wasn't much left to be discussed. He made sure to announce his presence in the villa before leaving. My brothers and cousins would have surely seen that. My cousins don't matter much but as far as my brothers were concerned, they would be relaying this news back to the crown prince.
Speaking of my brothers, I wonder what happened to Lincoln. No one said anything until I woke up and he didn't show up in front of as well. Curiosity got the best of so I asked Rose, "Rose, do you know where Lincoln is these days?"
"Lincoln has holed himself inside his room like a coward, Your Highness. He must have faced a strong enemy and lost his morale." Rose inford , not bothering to keep Lincoln's status under consideration one bit. Instead, she was blatantly insulting him. This behavior warrants the death penalty normally. Of course, normally.
Right now, no one had enough guts to touch Rose who was currently under my protection and in turn under the first elder's protection. Not to ntion she also had a very good relationship with Alicia.
Being affiliated with the first elder was as good as being affiliated with the emperor. Even if she insulted the crown prince, as long as the emperor decided not to punish her, there was no power in the empire that could.
[But wasn't it you who instructed her to insult them whenever ntioned?]
'Of course, it was .'
But that was just for fun. To get a funny reaction out of Max but I never expected that Rose would take that order to heart.
Anyway, Lincoln seems like he had amassed so sort of trauma. But that's good since that was my goal. I wonder if he was afraid of fire now though. It would be very funny if he was.
Forgetting about all the taxing matters, I holed myself in my bed and slept like a log. Of course, I woke up at dawn to practice my skills. For now, this was all that I could do given that my stats were very low now.
After a few hours of practice that bore no result because of the enormous level-up requirent, I had a hearty breakfast, and while I was having breakfast, very good news arrived.
"Your Highness, the teleportation circle has received seven guests with carriages. Since the room would have overcrowded, we have moved them outside but we made sure they weren't unchecked." The head butler inford . I smirked and focused on finishing my breakfast. Once I was done, I went to the garden where the carriages were relocated.
I saw seven carriages lined up and ready for my orders. Without listening to the entourage of representatives, I opened the carriages one by one and conducted a detailed examination. Once I was sure that every penny was accounted for, I stored everything in my inventory leaving only horses of the carriages. Even the carriages were quite expensive.
"Tell you kings and queens that I have received the compensation well. Tell them that their kind gesture of my well-being won't be forgotten till the end of ti." I said but my words could also be translated as, 'I will keep my mouth shut for now but I will rember everything till the end of ti.'
A blackmailer is never satisfied. He constantly asks for sothing once he runs out of previous things. If they thought I would be satisfied, they were dead wrong. I just let them have so breathing ti. Besides, it's not like they won't attempt anything now.
[But you welco such attempts]
'Of course I do. It is fun to watch them in misery.'
Not to ntion the fact that experts hired by them wouldn't be just nobodies so if I managed to kill them, I would be landing myself so levels as well.

Michelle was looking at as if one looks at an entitled brat. I would have explained myself but why should I? There was nothing to be gained from this. I simply did all the tests and handed them to her in less than two hours.
"Are you done already?" Michelle asked, greatly surprised. The ti limit I was given for all three tests was six hours yet I was finished in two. I could have done it sooner but I was in a laidback mood today. After all, I had just made a fortune today.
Michelle was even more surprised after she cursory glanced at my performance although she didn't say anything about it. Done with this I was just about to leave when Michelle stopped , "Wait a minute."
I stopped to listen to what she had to say, "Auriella wants to et you. She said she had sothing important to discuss." Michelle inford of a certain green-eyed beauty whose sister was able to obtain justice because of .
I smirked as I just needed a way in the assistance of a major power from another kingdom. Since I have helped the Ferrahfowler family, they would be my ticket to enter the Ragnar Kingdom.
"I will visit her today," I replied and left. Since I wanted to leave a good impression, I didn't bother asking to set up a eting and headed straight over to the Ferrahfowler mansion. Besides, I had to leave tomorrow for the Caligulas so I needed to handle many matters over the course of today and one of them was to et the old man Vermillion as well and ask for so assistance.
'Huuu…. How good it would have been if I had system gold. I could have built everything I wanted overnight.'
[Won't you earn them from the dungeon in the city?]
'I will but I doubt they would be enough to do what I plan to do. Maybe it will be but who knows.'
During my conversation, my carriage arrived at the Ferrahfowler mansion. I notified the guard of my presence and he didn't ask to wait to inform the head but led straight inside.
Shortly afterward, I was personally welcod by a woman who seed to have dressed in quite a bit of a hurry. I guess my visit was quite unannounced.
"Sorry to intrude like this but I had my reasons." I apologetically said as she took a few deep breaths.
"It's fine. Actually, I was getting ready to visit you." She replied as she directed a servant to get refreshnts ready.
"Please, sit." She pointed at a sofa and took the opposite one herself. Shortly afterward, refreshnts were brought in.
"I heard you wanted to et ," I said as we both settled in.
"Yes. I wanted to thank you for what you did for ." She thanked sincerely before moving to the main point, "But as the future head of the Ferrahfowler house, I can't remain in debt. Since I have received sothing, I should naturally give as well."
I liked her attitude and that was great. It was better that she was the one initiating this conversation. It would save the trouble of explaining myself.
"Now that you ntion it, there is one thing you can do for . Of course, if you find it too unreasonable, you can refuse." I said as she prepared herself.
I pulled out a dress from my inventory. It wasn't the sa prototype dress but the dress with an enchantnt of auto fitting so anyone could wear it regardless of their physique. Of course, its true elegance would only show if soone slender and well-maintained wore it.
"This is sothing I wish to sell. But for that, I need to properly display it. I would like it if you could wear it to so banquet of yours and show it to your circle properly. Tell them where you obtained it." I relayed my purpose.
Auriella was hella beautiful. It would do good if she was to beco my advertiser in the Ragnar Kingdom.
Auriella was sowhat skeptical at my simple request but that wasn't all. "Also, I would like to present you with a business opportunity. Of course, you are more than welco to decline it."
"I will lend an ear." She didn't give a definitive answer since wearing a dress and running a business were two different things. If it was sothing that clashed with their businesses, she wouldn't agree to it.
"I would like to sell it in the Ragnar kingdom as well. I would like the Ferrahfowler family to watch over this branch of mine." I proposed my plan. She nodded and asked, "What would be the distribution scale?"
It took so ti to tell her everything. I properly explained the dress slash artifact which she found to be quite fascinating. After I was done, we decided on a 90 to 10 distribution, with taking the 90 percent.
Done with our conversation, she did ask if there was sothing else I wanted because my demands had been nothing compared to what I had done for her. I simply told her I would like to keep it for the future and she was more than happy with it.
