Hilda would also go to the imperial capital with Helia this time. First, she would represent the Antonio family to attend Helia's 18th birthday party, and at the same time officially announce the restoration of the relationship between the two families. Second, she would report to Claude on the specific situation during and after the war. As the newly appointed marshal, she naturally had to be recognized by the king of the empire.

And Cheko's investigation mission in the North was about to come to an end. After the hidden assassins were arranged, he began to prepare for Helia's return to the imperial capital. He also had to keep discussing with Hilda. It felt like he was almost exhausted from this long journey.

Ronniesi also changed from her personal knight to Chike's assistant. He was so busy that he was rarely seen every day, which made her very dissatisfied.

"Why are you so sad?" When Blot walked in, he saw Helia reading a letter with a frown on her face. He couldn't help but rub her head, even though Helia had warned him many times not to rub her head casually, otherwise he would not grow taller.

"Dramon wrote to me, saying that he had discovered the traces of the black magician coming to Bellman again, and asked me to be careful." Helia raised her hand and slapped Blot's hand away, complaining: "Brother, I told you that you won't grow taller if you touch your head!"

Drummond and his father Brahiri have been chasing the black magician for almost two years, but the results are not very obvious. They have caught many, killed many, and let many escape. Drummond complained in a letter that he felt like a dog, and the black magician was holding a bone in his hand and walking them all the way.

He also said that he would find a way to rush back to attend her 18th birthday party, but it depends on the specific situation. After all, this black magician is elusive, and they never know when he will show up again just when they withdraw.

In addition, he also congratulated Helia on passing the assessment and becoming a fifth-rank magician in the letter, and secretly expressed his envy, as he was still only a fourth-rank magician.

Of course, there were some ambiguous words expressing longing, but Helia skipped them. At this age, if she didn't work hard on her career, why would she fall in love? What a waste of time!

"Xiao Ya, you are already tall enough. You are almost as tall as my brother." Yoliv appeared at some point and joined their conversation.

Helia has been living in Marquis Frank's mansion these days. All matters at the academy have been dealt with. Now she just has to wait for Hilda to finish her preparations so that she can set off for home at any time.

"They all say that my mother is 1.80 meters tall. I will definitely grow to be 1.80 meters tall too." Helia said confidently.

"The black magician came here because he probably knew you were going back, and he probably wanted to attack you on the way." Blot analyzed, "But since my sister is with you, nothing should happen."

"They dared to stop the Marshal's troops. They really don't care about their lives to do so." Yoliv continued.

"That's right." Helia was no longer worried. She put the letter away, feeling a little bored and not knowing what to do. "Are you two really not going to the imperial capital with me? My eighteenth birthday party should be very, very lively."

Blot and Yoliv looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do. Business in the bazaar is really complicated. Yoliv and I are so busy, both overtly and covertly, that we have no time to rest." Blot complained, "Aya, you don't know, those people will do anything to make money!"

Helia didn't respond, but her eyes said a lot: How could I not know? Brother, are you stupid?

Yoliv patted Blot's arm and said with a smile, "How could Xiaoya not know? She had just arrived in Berman and destroyed a human trafficker's den! Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"When Xiaoya came to tell me about this, I was almost scared to death. A little girl went to such a cruel place. If anything happened to her, I don't know what to do!"

"Yes, when I sneaked in with teacher Britney, I saw Xiaoya holding a magic wand and killing a magician on the spot. I thought it was some vicious person, but I didn't expect it to be my sister whom I haven't seen for more than ten years!" Blott was also deeply touched. He and Yoliv started talking about what happened that year, not caring at all that Helia, the person involved, was right next to them.

Just as Yoliv and Blot were about to burst into tears, Helia interrupted them and said, "My two brothers are incompetent. The human traffickers were trafficking people right under your noses, but you couldn't do anything about them. In the end, I had to take action to solve the problem."

A single strike is a kill, ending the battle instantly.

The next morning, the Ronniesi she had been thinking about was finally released by Cheko. The two of them chatted about recent developments during breakfast time, and today she planned to check on Philodosiya's learning results.

The weather has warmed up recently, and the snow on the ground has melted, and the courtyard looks thriving. On the open sandy ground nearby, two figures, one large and one small, were fighting back and forth, and the clanging sound of wooden swords hitting each other could be heard frequently. Helia stood not far away, watching Philodosia and Ronnishi fighting.

In fact, it was not fair. After all, Ronishi was a mercenary and had a physical advantage. It was impossible for Philodosia to beat him. But Helia did not need him to win. She just wanted to see how much he had improved.

If it weren't for Levita who was still clinging to Lydia, saying that the experiment couldn't do without her, and if Lydia hadn't developed feelings for Levita over the years and was reluctant to reject her teacher, she wouldn't have had to wait until Ronnie came back to start the acceptance.

Although Ronishi had let her off a little, she could feel that Philodosia was making rapid progress, whether it was because of her talent or hard work. And what satisfied Helia the most was that this little girl was not bound by rules and regulations. Although the teachers she invited were all the best swordsmanship teachers, they only taught her serious swordsmanship.

What does it mean? It looks like a piece of fancy stuff, but it looks good in appearance. But it is not completely useless. It has been passed down for a long time, so it must have its rationality. It's just that Helia unilaterally looks down on it.

But maybe it was because Ronishi had taken the time to teach Philodosia, she had the tenacity of a wild grass. Even if she was being suppressed all the time, she would not give up any opportunity to attack Ronishi, even if her attack was like a tickle to Ronishi.

Her moves were not standardized, but they were flexible. Although others might think she was hitting randomly without any plan, Helia felt that as long as she could hit the target, no matter what method she used, it would be useful.

Just when Helia was about to call for a stop, Philodosiya twisted around and slipped under Ronishi's crotch, then very immorally aimed the wooden sword at Ronishi's buttocks and poked it hard -

"Ah!" After a scream, Ronnie jumped away, covering his butt, and looked at the "murderer" with horror and disbelief.

While Ronishi was distracted, Philodosiya flew up and hit the opponent's wrist holding the sword with the wooden sword. The pain made Ronishi let go of his hand and dropped the sword.

The little girl raised her hand and fiercely wiped off the dirt and grass on her face, turned her head to look at Helia, and said seriously: "Your Highness Helia, I won."

The rule of this competition is that as long as Philodosiya can knock the sword out of Ronnishi's hand, she wins.

"Your Highness! This is too shady! How can you attack someone's back door!" Ronnie protested loudly. The little girl really used all her strength. The buttocks are such a vulnerable place. If they were suddenly attacked, even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't bear it!

Helia couldn't help laughing out loud. No, hahahahaha, she never thought that Philodosiya would attack Ronnish's anus, hahahahahahaha! No, this is too funny, hahahahahahaha! She should have taken out the imaging stone to record it just now! If you miss it, you will miss it for a lifetime, hahahahahahahaha!

The chrysanthemums are withered, your buttocks are bruised, and your smile has turned yellow~

Ronnie watched Helia holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she was almost out of breath. Although he was very angry and depressed, he still took two steps forward and tried to help her up.

However, Philodosiya was faster than him. He had just taken a step when the little girl dropped the wooden sword in her hand and helped Helia, who was about to vomit from laughing, to a chair on the side. She also patted her back gently to prevent her from laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Ronnie Sidney: The world is complete only when I am hurt.

"Your Highness, she can't do this." Ronnie walked to Helia with a sullen face. It was still a little painful because a certain part of her body was pulled when she walked.

"Why not? I want her to be a swordsman who can protect me, do you understand?" Helia patted his arm, but when she thought of his broken chrysanthemum, she couldn't help laughing again.

"Your Highness, we taught her lessons based on the content of training a proper knight. Look at what she has learned so far," Ronishi complained. "Besides, there is no swordsman like her who has no martial ethics!"

"No, no, no, you're wrong. The essence of a swordsman lies in the sword! You know, it's the sword! And it's mean!" Helia explained, "As long as she can protect me, no matter what method she uses, even if it's low-class means, so what!"

"I want people who can fight and resist, who can hold up the front and do the dirty work, not those who only know fancy moves and break the rules."

Helia pulled Philodoxia into her arms and rubbed her face twice. Now that the child had enough nutrition and was almost in puberty, she began to grow. She looked a lot more energetic and well-behaved, so she liked her very much.

"But, Firodoxia, you should know that you will live in the palace in the future, right?" Helia praised when necessary, but she was not the kind of person who doted on her children. "That is not my territory, but you are mine. Your every word and action represents me."

"So, you'd better follow the rules and don't cause trouble for me, but don't be afraid of trouble either. You'd better get familiar with which rules you absolutely cannot break and which ones you can use flexibly. Do you understand?"

Firodosia nodded seriously, "I understand."

Luo Nixi looked at the way these two got along and felt a little confused. It felt like Her Royal Highness the Princess was not raising a child, but more like training a killer...

Moreover, Helia had never told him these words. It was unclear whether it was because Helia felt that he understood and didn't need to be told, or whether it was because Helia didn't think highly of him.

"After we return to the palace, I will have someone teach you all kinds of etiquette. You will be a maid who serves me personally in the future. When I don't have any instructions, you can act freely. You can do some small things at your own discretion, but you must be sensible and tell me first if you are unsure about something."

"After I return to the palace, I won't have much time to watch over you and teach you, so you must familiarize yourself with the environment as quickly as possible, find out as much information as possible, and then write down your daily actions in a diary and put it on my desk every night. Do you understand?" Helia continued to instruct.

Philodoxia nodded.

"If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved and you can't find me for a while, go find Ronnie. He's an old hand." Helia smiled and pointed at the man who was acting as a stump nearby.

"Your Highness." Roni said helplessly.

However, His Highness did not mind him saying these things next to him. Does this mean that Helia also trusts him very much? She believes that he can control his mouth and believes that he has the ability.

Helia raised her hand to help Philodoxia remove the grass debris from her hair and patted her clothes. "Okay, now go back with Ronnie to pack your luggage and get ready. We are going to move to a new place to live."
