I'm really not a top magician

Aigo Sajo quickly cleaned up the documents on the coffee table and handed Luna a cup of tea.

Luna took a polite sip, then her face suddenly darkened and she asked seriously:

"Is there no one else here?"

"No." Sajo Aika noticed her serious expression.

"Actually, I came here today because I have something else to tell you."

Luna came close to Sajo Aige and said seriously, "It's about Fareus."

"What do you mean?" Shatiao Aige had a vague guess in her mind.

"I recently found something strange between Fareus and Leif."

Luna recounted to Aika Sajo the conversation between Leif and Fareus that day.

She also deduced that Fareus intended to assassinate Aika Sajo.

But she doesn't have enough evidence to remove Fareus from the team.

After listening carefully to Luna's description, the first thought that popped into her mind was that the two of them had quarreled again.

Why say it again?

Because Fareus has been Leif's apprentice since the beginning, but Fareus himself has a strong talent for magic.

After studying under Leif for three years, he surpassed his teacher and became a famous genius in the Clock Tower.

However, I heard that after Fareus became famous in the Clock Tower, he severed his master-disciple relationship with his teacher Leif. The reason seemed to be that Fareus looked down on Leif.

Well, from this perspective, Reus seems a bit ungrateful.

Then in the next few years,

You can often see it in the clock tower.

Phareus and Leif were always arguing with each other.

But every time, Leif seemed to give in to Fareus, perhaps because of their friendship in the past.

This kind of situation often occurred when the few people handled Nalandril's commission before.

This was the first time that Aika Sajo had seen the relationship between the master and the disciple become so bad.

Originally, Aika Sajo was planning to answer, wondering if Luna was overthinking it. After all, this kind of thing had become a daily routine and was not surprising.

However, seeing Luna's serious and solemn expression, Sajo Aika nodded.

Keep Luna's words in mind. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry...

Seeing Aika Sajo nod, Luna finally felt relieved.

Just as she stood up to leave, she suddenly saw Lorelai pause at the door, then left without a word.

"Is there something wrong with her?"

Thinking of this, Luna quickly chased after him.

ps: There are still some chapters that need to be checked. I will update them once today and will probably resume updating tomorrow.

Chapter 74 Because We Are Free!

a few hours ago,

6:00, get up for a morning run, run five kilometers.

6:50, go home, wash up, and brush teeth for three minutes.

7:00, Breakfast, a nutritious meal provided by the family, cannot be changed.

7:15, go to school, fixed route, no stopping at will.

Every minute, every hour, is planned, and my life is just a repetition of the past, day after day.

Lorelai got up, finished her morning exercise, went home to wash up,

She turned on the faucet, splashing water on her face. Then she faced the mirror, trying her best to put a smile on her stiff face and practiced the lines she would say to her father later.

She plans to participate in the king selection competition with Aika Sajo.

In fact, the reason is not very complicated.

On the one hand, seeing that Luna had participated as a thug, Lorelai always felt that as a good friend of Sajo Aika, she should also do something.

On the other hand, compared to staying in the Clock Tower and with her father, she felt more comfortable staying with Aika Sajo.

When everything was almost done, Lorelai slowly came out of the bathroom and went to the living room to have breakfast.

"Good morning, father."

Lorelai looked over at her father, who was sitting at the dining table, staring at the thick papers.

"Ah."

My father answered succinctly as always.

Lorelai sat down. The Barthemero family's education must have been very strict.

Even the sitting posture must be kept standard without any deviation.

Lorelai looked at her father in front of her. The words in her heart were about to come out, but they seemed to be stuck in her throat.

The courage I had prepared while washing up seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

"Father...Father, I have something to tell you..."

I finally said it, even though it was a bit awkward, but it was a good start.

"Um,"

The old Barthemelo monarch simply responded, then put down the documents in his hand and looked at Lorelai and said, "I have something to tell you too."

"What is it?" Lorelai asked.

She originally planned to speak first, but the etiquette education she received over the years made her give up the initiative to speak at the first moment.

My father placed his hands under his chin and said with deep emotion and seriousness, "I intend to have you succeed me as the monarch of Barthemelo in the near future."

Hearing this, Lorelai stopped what she was doing and looked at her father across the table in surprise.

She simply couldn't understand why her father made this decision.

Although her father was over fifty, Lorelai knew very well that he still had enough energy to stay in this position for a long time, at least another ten years.

On the other hand, I am the same age as Sajo Aika and am a minor.

I am not yet proficient in many matters concerning the monarch,

If he abdicated after he came of age, Lorelai could understand.

But why choose this time?

After receiving Barthemelo's elite education, her brain began to work, but she still asked in surprise:

"Why... why?"

"As for the reason, I can only say that I've recently started to feel overwhelmed."

Old Barthemelo Monarch said, but Lorelai knew the lie well enough;

"Lorelai, your current strength is second only to one person, so I am very confident in handing the Barthemelo family over to you. If you have any questions in the future, you can always come and ask me."

"However, in order to help you better adapt to the duties of a monarch, you don't have to go to the king selection meeting."

Hearing this, Lorelai's heart almost skipped a beat.

The uncontrollable fire deep in her heart suddenly surged up, and she went against the etiquette taught in her mind, slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "Why!"

"Because your energy right now should be focused on your position as monarch." The father drank his tea indifferently, seemingly unconcerned with Lorelai's anger.

"But...but if I go to the Kingsmoot, I can help Sha Tiao eliminate other potential rivals!"

"But you lost to Richard."

"that is because……"

Lorelai was about to say something in her defense when she heard a loud bang and her father slammed the teacup onto the table.

"I've already made arrangements for the Kingsmoot."

The father explained in a cold tone, "The head of Nalandril will help Shatiao Aige eliminate the other enemies. You don't need to worry. Your task now is to become an excellent monarch! You won't disobey my orders, will you?"

Lorelai clenched her fists. If she overturned the table and challenged him,

My father can never beat me.

That's right,

As the finest creation of the Barthemello family, if Lorelai wanted to, nothing here could stop her.

but,

Lorelai's clenched fists slowly loosened. She looked up at her father, and the expression she had practiced in the bathroom returned to her once-angry face. She smiled and said,

"Yes, Father."

……

After leaving the Barthemero family, Lorelai arrived at the villa of Aika Sajo's family according to the previous schedule.

Although he agreed with his father on the surface,

But after leaving home, she still wanted to go to the king selection meeting with Aika Sajo.

She walked to the door of Shatiao Aige Villa,

I saw Luna and Sajo Aika standing at the door.

The two seemed to be discussing something about the list of the king selection meeting.

"Can you confirm this candidate?" Luna handed over the list.

After carefully reading it, Sajo Aika nodded in confirmation and said, "No problem, let's do it this way."

If she asked for sand bars, she would definitely bring her own.

but……

She can't help me forever!

Lorelai stopped, then turned and left.

……

Inside the training ground of the Clock Tower.

"Cough cough!"

Lorelai said to the dummy in front of her:

"Father, I have thought about this for a long time."

"If I may... No, if you agree..."

"Still not right... do it again!"

Lorelai has been taking the training ground, repeatedly trying various words,

But every attempt seemed to be ineffective, and was easily dismissed by my father's excuses.

After trying for a long time, she finally lay on the ground exhausted, covering her face with her hands and muttering:

"If it was Sha Tiao, what would she do?"

At this moment, Luna's voice came from behind:

"So you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time."

Luna walked up to Lorelai, "They said you've been here mumbling to a dummy for a long time."

Lorelai stood up and nodded.

"Well, I want to convince my father to let me go to the kingsmoot."

"Oh, good job!" Luna made an encouraging gesture.
