After many years, I can't remember some details, but Prince Alfred and I met for the first time, and this was probably it.

In Priscilla's eyes, we are "two mysterious men, whispering and suspicious", but our conversation is not secret, but it is just a matter of Prince Alfred's secret schemes, which cannot be put on the table.

As His Royal Highness the Prince promised, I successfully became an apprentice in magic at Bromin's Academy, and started a new life with the new students who passed the entrance test.

To make it easier to communicate, I was placed in Adrian's dormitory. He was Caspar Williams' henchman, a red-haired, energetic lad, simple and unpretentious, loyal to Caspar, something that even Alfred envied.

Perhaps, in his mind, he hoped that my arrival would fill the void.

At the same time, the appearance of Priscilla changed the landscape of Bromin College to a great extent, making the atmosphere tense.

In her memoirs, Lemon and Hippomu went to great lengths to fight for the throne of Oxskin, and in order to avoid conflict with their two brothers, Alfred went to study at Bromin's College, and in fact, Alfred was as ambitious as his two brothers.

In addition to the Empire's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Le Monton had Colin as his back, Hippomu as his backing, and Alfred had to win over Bromin if he wanted to make a difference. This was the idea given to him by Casper's father, the Marquis of Quint, Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Unbeknownst to Priscilla, Duke Isaac did not mention it afterwards, Prince Alfred had secretly visited him and frankly expressed his wishes. At that time, the duke neither refused nor agreed, but only tactfully pointed out that his greatest weakness was his lack of connections and military exploits.

They are all smart people, and everything is in plain sight. If Alfred can change the status quo, then it is not impossible for Bromin to abandon Aiudin in favor of him. After all, Duke Isaac did not want to see Bromin remain in the shadow of Aiudin for so long that he became its vassal.

Lemon and Hippomu's wings are all over the imperial capital and beyond, and to some extent, His Majesty Kasiu can't do anything about them, in Oxskin, the only possible force is the generals stationed on the frontier, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and once Prince Alfred takes that step, it means declaring war on the two ambitious brothers head-on and killing himself.

Alfred's plan was to start with Bromin, far from the mainland, to gradually cultivate and absorb forces loyal to him, patiently wait for Lemon and Hippomu to clash, and then reap the benefits.

Over the past few years, Alfred has managed to take control of the Apprentices Guild at Bromin's Academy, and with a group of mentors secretly supporting him, even Dean Kozmo has turned a blind eye, most likely because Duke Isaac is angry with his old friend.

If the previous situation was basically under Alfred's control, then the current Bromin College has an unknown variable, a strong competitor, Priscilla Cacheley, who combines beauty and intelligence.

I never figured out why Duke Isaac sent his daughter to Bromin's Academy, and told her that "Oxskin has reached out to Bromin, and their ambitions are endless." ”

To create some obstacles for Alfred? In order to cultivate her daughter's talent for independence? Or is there some ulterior motive?

In hindsight, this move made no sense, and everything that happened after that also made Duke Isaac regret it.

Luo Li has said a lot of things, but he hasn't cut to the chase yet. Please don't worry about repeating the jump, I'm not writing a novel, I'm just annotating Priscilla's memoirs and taking the opportunity to reminisce about the past.

Those pasts buried in the depths of memory have become somewhat blurred.
