The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing: "..."

The king kept smiling. If he told these to other eight-year-old children, they might not understand, but he believed that Jiang Liujing would definitely understand.

"Your answer is?"

Jiang Liujing stared at him with his dark eyes without answering, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became solemn.

Ignatius had no idea what they were talking about. He looked left and right, as confused as a goose shaking its head.

He was already shocked by his father's inexplicable proposal to leave him to Jiang Liujing, but now his father was actually talking to this child in an almost equal tone?

Ignatius vaguely realized that Jiang Liujing's identity was not as simple as it seemed.

After a long silence, a hint of helplessness suddenly appeared in Jiang Liujing's eyes. "Actually, whether I agree or not, it won't affect your decision."

"Oh?" The king looked at him.

"Helping him is not something I can do alone. There are many excellent teachers in the college who can play a much greater role than I can."

Jiang Liujing felt that the king's commission to him was more of a test of his attitude towards the Dawn Empire.

As for the question he asked, I'm afraid the king has already made up his mind.

From the king's initiative to contact him and try to establish contact, Jiang Liujing judged that he was probably not in the same camp as the Moon Shadow Principality.

After confirming this information, Jiang Liujing felt relieved. The Dawn Empire was the leader of the eight great powers, and their refusal to share a border with the Moon Shadow Principality would also influence other countries.

But while he was relaxed, he also felt helpless.

These people liked to beat around the bush when it came to things they could say directly, and they had to test the reading comprehension ability of an eight-year-old child.

"I can't teach anyone, and I can't guarantee that he will make any progress, but I can be friends with him." Jiang Liujing said with a blink, "He must be in need of friends right now, right?"

Ignatius inexplicably felt a sense of humiliation in his words, but he was unable to refute it.

He was in a truly awkward position within the academy. If it weren't for the fact that the roster for the freshman competition couldn't be changed once submitted, he would have been pulled off the team and replaced.

The king laughed out loud, "Hahaha," and then said, "That's fine."

In fact, his original intention in calling Jiang Liujing over was to find a partner for Ignatius.

Ignatius was his son after all, and the king was not at all angry when he saw his son being publicly excluded by his classmates.

Jiang Liujing was the most suitable person to accompany his son to school, according to his observations. Of course, given the other party's abnormal talent, the king could not be sure whether Jiang Liujing would actually be the prince's study partner or the prince would become his little follower.

But whether considering his status or talent, there is nothing wrong in letting Yiger make friends with this kid early.

The king and Jiang Liujing smiled at each other, both sides were satisfied with the deal.

Ignatius, one of the people being traded, felt completely invisible. He silently said, "What about me? Don't you even want to ask for my opinion?"

The king had been gentle in front of Jiang Liujing, but when he turned to Ignatius, his attitude suddenly became as cold and serious as an iceberg: "How dare you say that? You behaved so poorly. I'm too embarrassed to tell your mother when I get back."

Ignatius choked and was silent for a few seconds before muttering, "But she hasn't been back for half a year. Maybe she's found a new lover."

His voice was very soft, but His Majesty heard it anyway. His face suddenly darkened and he asked, "What did you say?"

Ignatius felt a surge of pressure all over his body, as if a thousand-pound rock was hanging over his head. His scalp tightened, knowing that this was a sign that his father was about to beat him.

The king usually doesn't care much about his two sons, but once it comes to the queen's affairs, he is like a stressed hedgehog, especially when he hears someone say that the queen doesn't love him.

However, all the royal family members and ministers knew that the current queen of the Dawn Empire was a free-spirited and unrestrained person who was keen on finding handsome men.

Back then, the Queen fell in love at first sight with the young King who was on a secret visit on the roadside. She completely disregarded her noble lady demeanor and dragged him home to get married.

Later, His Majesty the King had to go back for an urgent matter. When he hurried back two months later, he found that the Queen's family had taken in four new handsome men and there was no place for him as the main wife.

The first thing she said when she saw him was: "Ah, you're still alive? Go away, you're free, I already have a new male lover."

The king was not as steady as he is now when he was young. When he saw his "wife" surrounded by various handsome men, his blood instantly boiled.

After a series of stories of robbery, running away with the ball in anger, and chasing his wife to the crematorium, His Majesty the King finally brought back his queen with three huge slap marks on his face.

During this period, his edges and corners were completely smoothed out. He endured humiliation to the point that as long as the queen was still willing to stay by his side, he would occasionally invite a few handsome men into the palace to admire her, completely giving up the face of being the king of the largest country.

But the good times did not last long. After giving birth to two sons and a daughter for him, the queen lost love for the king who was entering middle age and was becoming increasingly unattractive. She finally ran away with her six-year-old daughter half a year ago.

Before leaving, she only left a letter warning the king not to look for her unless he wanted to lose his queen completely.

On the day the queen ran away, Ignatius watched his wise and brave father sitting motionless in the palace with the letter all night. When he came out, he seemed to have aged ten years. After that, he plunged into government affairs and worked hard to the point of sympathy.

From that moment on, young Ignatius knew that love, like desire, was a poison that could easily cause sudden death if touched, and he must not touch it at all.

At this time, Ignatius took a step back, his back pressed against the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

He looked at the king who slowly stood up grimly, swallowed his saliva, and said with tears in his eyes, "Is it not okay if I said I was wrong?"

The king said coldly, "It's too late."

He does not advocate corporal punishment, but sometimes it is indeed the most effective way to educate people.

A good son is born under the stick. The king believes that it is necessary for him to manage the parent-child relationship well while the queen is away.

Jiang Liujing felt that his eyes and ears were receiving information that they shouldn't be receiving, and it would probably be dangerous if he stayed any longer.

He said goodbye to the king with a smile, and without caring whether the king heard it or not, he hurried away with Chi, leaving space for the father who was about to educate his son.

After walking out of the formation and returning to the ground, he sighed, "How terrifying."

Fortunately, he had no father and his grandfather didn't teach him that. He didn't want to be beaten like Ignatius.

He glanced at Chi beside him, and suddenly remembered that Chi seemed to have no family either.

"Chi, have you recovered more memories these days?"

The naked figure paused slightly.

After a long time, a low voice came: "No."

Jiang Liujing said regretfully, "That's a shame. Didn't you say before that you wanted to visit the Orc Association? We should have a few days off after our freshman competition, so let's go then."

He still remembered what Chi had said a long time ago.

Chi, who always obeyed him, suddenly said this time: "No, Miaomiao, I will go by myself. Don't leave the academy in the near future."

Jiang Liujing was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he saw Chi suddenly quicken his pace and drag him to a secluded and deserted grove.

When Chi Shao was so serious, Jiang Liujing also became nervous and obediently let him pull him.

As he walked, he thought to himself, before the gray-robed man appeared, Chi did say that he wanted to give him a check-up. Could it be related to his previous battle with Guangyuan?
