"Grand Duke Kenser, Your Royal Highness Princess Ophelia, I am Dylan Nande Bathory, son of Count Carroselle Nande Bathory. Allow me to introduce you to my teacher, Audrey Tanlyan. ”

Dylan gave the Grand Duke of the Duchy and the princess standing behind him a perfect otherworldly etiquette, and then introduced them to the two. Although the words are respectful, they also carry a sense of confidence and pride. He also has the capital of pride, and a while ago he has proven himself to be a rare genius in swordsmanship.

"Oh? I didn't expect His Excellency Thanrian to be in Galimbun, and it was my father's mistake to not be able to send you an invitation letter, so please forgive me. ”

Kenser didn't know Dylan, but he knew Audrey behind Dylan. To be honest, he didn't really want to deal with this famous powerhouse, after all, he had heard about the deeds of this platinum, "Toslan Viper", "Greedy Heart", "Yin Wind", no matter which one, it was definitely not a positive title, coupled with the terrifying events he did, he was almost not welcomed by everyone. If it weren't for his excellent strength, he wouldn't have lived to his current age.

Last year, when Audrey approached him to take Ophelia as a student, he refused on the grounds that Ophelia was out. He really didn't want his daughter to study under this guy with a very bad reputation, although he did have a high level of swordsmanship. Later, when he heard that he had gone to the Eastern Continent, Kenseh did not take it to heart anymore. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, he accepted Dilan as a student.

He had heard of this Di Lan, and it was said that he had passed the silver-level strength assessment of the Adventurer Guild a while ago. At his current age, this talent is indeed remarkable, and if it weren't for Ophelia, he would probably be Galea's most potential genius.

However, since Audri has already accepted Dylan as a student, what is the matter with coming to him now? Is it possible to find Ophelia as a student again? Let's hope not, let's take a look first.

"It's okay, the old man's whereabouts have always been erratic, and it's normal for the Grand Duke not to get the news, as long as the Grand Duke doesn't dislike me, an old man, and spoil your banquet."

"Haha, how can it be, Your Excellency said with a smile. It is a great honor for you to be here, and I think all the nobles here will want to get acquainted with the famous 'Eye of the Storm'. ”

As the Grand Duke of Galea, Kense's man was not a man of pleasure, and although he was just as unkind as everyone else, he kept his negativity under the cover of the powerhouse who had once competed for the name of the Sword Master.

"I wonder if His Excellency Thanrian is satisfied with the banquet held by this father?"

"It's good, it's good, I can taste the high-quality Lorens black tea, and the old man is already quite satisfied."

"Haha, that's good, change the Japanese minister to send some to Bathory's territory, and please don't refuse."

"Then the old man has thanked the Grand Duke here first."

"Your Excellency is gracious."

Kenser and Audrey were friendly and polite, and Ophelia stood quietly behind Kense, holding a goblet of pure red wine. She wore exquisite makeup tonight, wore a fiery red dress, and her long hair was carefully braided, although she was still a little green, but the temperament on her body was quite fascinating, and Di Lan next to her didn't know how many times he peeked at her.

Ophelia also noticed Dilan's gaze, and she still smiled, apparently surprised by the situation.

On one side, the conversation between Kenser and Audri continues.

"Boy Bathory is so lucky to have such a good teacher to teach, and I think in many years, I Galea will have another platinum. I would like to congratulate you in advance on the receipt of a good seedling. ”

"Haha, the old man just saw that he had a good talent and reluctantly accepted it. Although Dilana is a bit talented, he is still far from Princess Ophelia. ”

Although he was polite, judging from the curvature of the corners of Audrey's mouth, he was still very useful for Kese's flattery.

When people are old, they will think about their descendants in everything. It's like grandparents hearing their grandchildren compliment them on being good, and they are just as happy when they praise them.

Looking at Audrey's smile, a bad feeling rose in Kense's heart. Sure enough, the next moment his premonition came true.

"I wonder how the Grand Duke thinks about the old man's matter?"

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Kense's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Oh? You mean to take Ophelia as a student, right? ”

I didn't expect the Grand Duke to remember, which made the old man a little flattered. That's right, that's what the old man said. ”

Although Kense's displeasure was quickly hidden, Audrey saw it. He knew he had a bad reputation, but so what? In this world, as long as the news that he wants to accept students spreads, there will be countless people who sharpen their heads and want to come in. But not everyone can be his student, at least they have to have Dilan's level, and if they can accept his daughter as a student, they can also afford him! How many people want him to be a nominal teacher, but he refuses!

As for Ophelia's opinion, presumably this kid wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse. This kind of opportunity doesn't happen all the time.

"Of course, you remember what your Excellency explained, but this matter cannot be decided by my father. Ophelia is now an adult, and it's up to her to decide what matters about herself. With that, Kenseh turned to Ophelia and said, "Ophelia, come, Lord Tanrian has something to ask you. ”

"Your Excellency." Ophelia greeted Audrey at Kenser's beckoning, and with a perfect courtesy, asked, "I wonder what Lord Thanrian wants to ask?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, I just want to ask you if you want to be a student of the old man. The old man values your talent and intends to teach you carefully and train you to be a real strong person. The old man asks your father, and your father looks at your opinion. The old man wants to know, what do you think. ”

What do you think? Of course, don't think about it.

There is probably not a single person in the whole of Aram who doesn't know what kind of person you Audri Thanlian is. Although you are strong and skilled in swordsmanship, I will not choose you as a teacher no matter what. Besides, if you really want to choose a teacher, there is a more suitable person by her side. Ophelia naturally heard from Kense's about Audrey's previous search for her, and also knew that this seemingly gentle and kind old man was actually unscrupulous for his own ends, and even if she rejected him today, he would use other ways to achieve his goals.

Ophelia had to take some steps to get him to break the idea, and while she was a little sorry for him, she believed he would understand.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency. To tell you the truth, Ophelia already has a teacher. ”

Ophelia bowed slightly, expressing her apologies.

Hearing this answer, Kenseh breathed a sigh of relief, although his daughter yearns for strength, she is still sensible and knows who she can't be.

And Audri was angry in his heart, old man, a strong man who can compete for the name of the Sword Master, don't you want to go to find a guy who came out of nowhere?

This time, Audrey made up his mind to take Ophelia, and he held back his anger and asked:

"I wonder if Your Highness can reveal which strong man it is?"

She naturally felt the anger that Audri was hiding in it, but she was not afraid.

"It's him."

As she spoke, Ophelia pointed to the black figure who was enjoying her meal around the table.
