When Cecilia woke up, Lorian was already waiting in the outer room of her palace.

By the time Cecilia came out after washing and dressing, the palace maid had prepared breakfast.

"Have you had breakfast? If not, can we have some together?"

Lorian shook his head and sat down at the dining table.

Cecilia's dining etiquette is ingrained in her bones. She is neither hurried nor slow, and behaves appropriately.

Lorian looked very casual, "You are different from the rumors I heard."

Cecilia didn't like to talk during meals. She put down her cutlery and wiped her mouth with a towel. "What do the rumors say about me?"

Lorian forked a piece of bread, dipped it in cheese and put it into his mouth. "He beat and killed servants at will, and sent them to the dungeon when he was in a bad mood. What else..."

Cecilia added on behalf of Lorian, "And I openly defied the king's orders, publicly accused the king of having problems with his decrees, and forcibly abducted some men of my age back to the palace..."

Lorian smiled, "Don't you know all this?"

Cecilia nodded and picked up her knife and fork again. "Someone taught me not to get to know someone through their words."

Lorian paused as he raised his fork. "This man must be a very wise man."

Cecilia remained silent.

He was the most knowledgeable person she knew.

After dinner, Cecilia suddenly asked, "So you didn't take action at the birthday party because of those remarks?"

Lorian admitted quickly, "Yes, and I also wanted to test your abilities."

Cecilia said she understood.

"I may have to leave Petra soon. The exact departure time has not been decided yet. Before that, I have to complete what I promised."

The maids cleared the table.

Cecilia took Lorian to the main hall and sat down. "I said before that if you help me get through the crisis, I will help you revive the Magician Guild."

Lorian was silent and did not take action at that time.

"Although you didn't take action, I helped you get through the crisis. You can understand this as Princess Cecilia, who has a fickle temperament, being kind and willing to help you revive the Magician Guild."

Lorian chuckled when he heard this, "Thank you so much, Your Highness, the kind and beautiful princess."

Cecilia roughly told Lorian about her plan, "The first step is to make your name known. You can ask someone to go to other magician guilds in Petra's main city to issue a challenge letter, saying that a master has come to your guild, and ask them if they are willing to come and fight."

Lorien sorted out his thoughts and asked, "And then you go on the field and fight against the opponent?"

Cecilia nodded, "Of course, I will disguise myself and won't reveal my identity as a princess."

Lorian thought about the feasibility. The biggest question was, "Can you ensure that you will win every battle?"

Cecilia still replied affirmatively, "Of course, as long as the opponent does not use black magic, I can win every battle."

Cecilia's self-confidence is different from the arrogance rumored to be.

Lorian knew very well that Cecilia's strength was superior to his own.

But Lorian had no idea how strong he was.

To be frank, among the other magician guilds in the main city of Petra, there are only two that can stand on equal footing with our own guild back then.

One is the Ark Magicians Guild, and the other is the Ruby Magicians Guild.

The scale of these two guilds is comparable to that of their own Magicians Guild. They have their own branches all over the country, and the branches are also prosperous.

Even though our guild has been on the decline for the past hundred years, it is still a guild with a four hundred year history.

As for other guilds, their scale was not good enough for Lorian.

Lorian told Cecilia about the latest developments of the two guilds.

Cecilia listened and finally asked the same question she had asked that year, "I've always been curious. In the past four hundred years, has no guild leader ever thought of giving the guild a name?"

Lorian was stunned by the question, and Cecilia continued, "Don't you think the name of the Magician's Guild is more like a general term?"

Speaking of this, Lorian's tone was indescribably proud, "No, until a hundred years ago, we were the only Magicians Guild. Everyone has become accustomed to referring to us as the Magicians Guild."

The system provides more detailed information about other guilds than what Lorian introduced.

"I roughly understand. If you are in a hurry, you can arrange people to challenge us today. Remember, if you want to challenge us, you have to make it known to everyone, and to the extent that everyone in the country knows about it, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."

Lorian was able to become the guild president at such a young age, so he must have some ability. He wouldn't have to ask Cecilia for advice on how to promote the company.

Lorian already had an idea in his mind, and he told Cecilia about the plan, "I'm fine with it. If it's according to your idea, this blank time should be enough for me to get up and go to Clifton Harbor."

Clifton Port is the main city of Reynard's territory, and Reynard's manor is located in Clifton Port.

The divination prophecy of the black magician is the only clue related to the mission that Cecilia has encountered in this world. Regardless of whether there is a trap or not, Cecilia has to find out the truth.

Lorian frowned. If this plan did not require him to show up in person, he would have wanted to do Cecilia a favor and accompany her.

"Find some more people to accompany you before you leave."

Cecilia nodded. "I think that since this is my first time traveling far away, my father will not allow me to travel alone."

Lorian thought so too.

The king, who is ruthless in his methods, always gives in when it comes to matters concerning the princess.

If someone else had challenged the king's orders in public, I wonder how many years he would have been reincarnated.

After Lorian said goodbye to Cecilia, Cecilia got up and went to find Gallup.

The traces of black magic on Gallup have almost disappeared.

Black magic is different from normal magic. It has more powerful functions and powers, but the price to pay is also huge. The most obvious price is that black magic must rely on black magicians to maintain it in order to function for a long time.

The black magician has now left the main city of Petra.

Cecilia had a bad feeling.

She briefly explained the whole story to Gallup, even though she knew Valken must have reported it to Gallup yesterday. "Regarding the incident at the ball where someone identified me as not the princess, I conducted a follow-up investigation. The guilty minister Leonard told me..."

"I want to find out about these things myself. I hope that my father will allow me to leave for Clifton Harbor soon."

Gallup didn't look happy.

He saw his daughter's growth and transformation, but it happened too fast.

Gallup felt that he was still young. He thought he could still protect Cecilia from the wind and rain for another ten years, or even decades.

Cecilia saw Gallup's expression and said, "I will take your father's place in the future, sooner or later. I will have to go through this eventually."
