I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 86 I see you have extraordinary potential!

Lana quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Sword Saint, would you like a snack?"

As he spoke, he winked at Diana.

"no need!"

The Sword Saint's calm voice rang out.

Diana looked back at the Sword Saint with a hint of helplessness.

"What did you ask me to do?"

The Sword Saint coughed lightly.

"Child, I see that you have extraordinary bones and are destined to be a sword prodigy. The important task of upholding justice and peace for humanity will be entrusted to you in the future. You only need to become my disciple, and I will teach you the strongest sword technique in the world!"

Everyone was shocked. The Sword Saint actually wanted to take Diana as his disciple. The Sword Saint had never taken a disciple before. Even with the hero's talent, the Sword Saint had only given him some pointers on swordsmanship!

Diana was taken aback; she felt like she'd heard this tactic somewhere before.

The Sword Saint, seeing Diana's stunned expression, assumed she was frightened and felt a surge of secret pleasure. However, this pleasure lasted only a second before he was rendered speechless by the three words Diana uttered.

"Not interested in!"

Diana turned around, grabbed the last pastry on the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and looked completely satisfied.

"It's so delicious!"

Everyone stared blankly at Diana, even Lana's smiling lips twitched.

So many people are desperate to become the Sword Saint's apprentices, and he's offering to take you on as a disciple, and you just say you're not interested? Do you even know how to speak like a human being? Where do you think those who want to become the Sword Saint's apprentices put their faces?

Diana noticed that everyone was staring at her, and glanced at the few empty plates on the table.

"Ugh~ there's nothing fun here~"

Do you have to make your little scheme so obvious?

Lana immediately instructed the maid to prepare some snacks, and then advised:

"Anna, the Sword Saint's swordsmanship is unmatched. If you can become his apprentice, you will not only learn powerful swordsmanship, but with his status, no one will dare to bully you!"

Diana clenched her fist.

"My magic is already very powerful, who dares to bully me?"

"No matter how powerful magic is, it's not as convenient as one's own strength!"

Diana pondered, "Indeed, swordsmanship is useful against magic-restricting barriers! The key is, knowing some swordsmanship looks really cool!"

Seeing that Diana seemed somewhat interested, the Sword Saint pressed his advantage, saying:

"Diana, if you are willing to become my disciple, I guarantee that within five years, no! Within three years! I will bring you to my level!"

Diana tilted her head, looking at the Sword Saint with a puzzled expression.

"Reach your level? What is that?"

The Sword Saint looked smug, and with his wooden sword, he flicked it towards the open space. An invisible sword aura sliced through the air and cut a deep gash in the ground!

"Control your inner energy with your sword!"

Diana looked at the scene before her, her eyes sparkling.

"So cool! I want to learn this!"

The Sword Saint suddenly felt a sense of triumph, 'If I had known she liked these things, I should have used them sooner!'

"This child is teachable. Rome wasn't built in a day; to reach my level, one must..."

Just then, a maid came over and announced that lunch was ready and invited the group to eat.

"Yay! We can finally eat!"

Diana jumped off the chair and left with her maid.

······

They all fell silent.

Seeing this, the second prince also quickly stood up, bowed slightly to the Sword Saint, and followed Diana.

Caroline secretly followed them.

Lana stood up, glanced at Diana as she left, and then said with a smile.

"It's lunchtime now, Sword Saint, Hero, would you like to have lunch at my place?"

Enoch was overjoyed and was about to agree when he was interrupted by the Sword Saint's voice.

"No need! Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

He then turned and left.

Enoch looked regretful, took Lana's hand, and the moment he did, he seemed to hear a sound.

Looking up at Lana, who still had a gentle smile, he thought he had misheard.

"I'm sorry, Princess Lana, we'll see you next time!"

"Okay! Lord Brave!"

Then Enoch left with the Sword Saint.

Sora, looking on with a gossipy expression, nudged Lana.

"When are you two going to... hehehe~"

"It's not what you think, Sora~"

The two joked as they returned to Lana's residence, where a maid had already prepared food for them.

Sora was clearly not a first-timer; he was very casual.

"Sora, you keep eating, I'm going to the washroom!"

"Okay, Lana, hurry up, or I'll finish it all!"

Lana smiled and left the restaurant, then went into the bathroom alone and closed the door.

Her smile froze instantly. She poured a basin of water and vigorously scrubbed one hand until her fingers turned red, but she didn't care at all.

The sound of teeth grinding rang out, and Lana's gentle face now appeared somewhat ferocious.

"Damn it! How dare that filthy thing touch me!"

After scrubbing her fingers for a while, Lana looked in the mirror and rubbed her fair face with both hands until the face in the mirror regained its gentle smile.

Lana couldn't help but recall the scene with Diana just now, her cheeks flushed, and her legs involuntarily tightened slightly.

"Anna~ You're so cute~"

······

On the way to the restaurant, Diana asked the second prince, puzzled.

"Your Highness, isn't Lana your family? Why don't you eat together?"

The second prince was pleased to find Diana talking to him, but felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing her question.

"Lana is just an illegitimate child of my father. She went through a lot before she came back to reunite with him, but she is a very good person!"

Diana nodded.

"So that's it~"

The group arrived at the restaurant soon.

A very long table was placed in the middle, filled with exquisite food, and two rows of maids stood around it.

A dignified woman sat on one side of the long table, her jet-black hair piled on top of her head and adorned with sparkling gems. Beside her sat a young man with similarly black hair.

Adolf sat on the other side.

The second prince explained quietly beside Diana.

"This is my mother, and my eldest brother."

Diana nodded.

Caroline immediately went around the table to the Queen's side and gave Diana a provocative look.

Before Caroline could even feel smug, the Queen grabbed her ear.

"Caroline, did you go out to play again during etiquette class today?"

"It hurts so much! Mother, I know I was wrong~ Second Brother, save me~"

The second prince, looking helpless, went over to plead for Caroline, and only then did the empress spare her.

Diana was led by her maid to sit down next to Adolf.

The Queen looked Diana up and down.

"Aeroy, is this the girl you like?"
