Chapter 34: The Hard-Working Princess Wei

Translator: editor3 

At night, in the king’s bedroom.

“Is Wei not back yet?”

The king and the queen were playing chess.

Compared to before the Lord’s Rebellion, the king looked much older. The aftereffects of the poisoning were gradually starting to reveal themselves.

“If she is determined to stay in the library, no matter how hard I try to persuade her, it will be useless. I haven’t seen her for a long time. I don’t know what has gotten into her.” Queen Lina sighed and said. Compared to her daughter’s rebellious behavior, the prince had become much more sensible. He already had the demeanor of a king.

“This girl, forget it. Just let her be.” The king shook his head and smiled.

“Your Majesty, she is a girl. She will eventually get married. If we allow her to act like this, what will happen in the future?”

The queen said, “Moreover, it is not a good thing to always stay with that student from Hiro Academy.”

“If I have time, I’ll go over and take a look,” the king said after a moment of contemplation.

It had been a long time since he had gone to the library to read.

“Your Majesty, you must persuade this girl to come back.”

“I’ll try.” The king nodded.

He doted on this daughter of his and had almost never been fierce.

…

In front of the library, the sun was shining brightly.

Two people were sitting on chairs, each holding a book and reading.

“Your Highness, how can you learn from me?”

Lei Luo glanced at Wei beside him and couldn’t help but ask.

“Senior, I think your reading posture is relaxing. Learning today is really a kind of enjoyment.”

Wei said seriously, “Usually when I see a book, I just glance at it, but today I’m actually reading it. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“Is that so?”

Lei Luo did not know what to say.

“It’s true.”

Wei nodded.

At this time, a few white horses stopped at the entrance of the library. There were only a few old mages accompanying them, but the person who had come was the king. He had come to see his daughter.

On the white horses, the king suddenly saw a very special scene. He saw two chairs and two people at the entrance of the library, reading books. The brilliant sunlight penetrated through the leaves and scattered on the two people’s bodies as if forming a wonderful artistic conception.

“Father.”

It was not until the clear voice was heard that the king was awakened from his reverie.

“Wei, are you reading with senior Lei Luo?”

The king got off the horse and walked over with a smile.

“Your Majesty.” Lei Luo got up and bowed.

“Father, why are you here?”

Wei hugged the king with both hands, looking very happy.

“I’m here to see you, to see how you are doing.”

The king rubbed Wei’s head lovingly and smiled.

“I’m doing very well, father. You don’t have to worry.” Wei laughed.

“You really make me worry,” the king said.

The king did not stay in the library for too long, nor did he read books. After talking for a while, he left.

During this period of time, he was extremely busy with government affairs. After the Lord’s rebellion, there were too many things waiting for him to deal with, but the effects of the poison had caused his energy to be greatly reduced.

The king still remembered what the mysterious pseudo-ultimate mage who had saved him had said.

“Although I have already expelled the poison from you, it has damaged your nerves and internal organs. You must recuperate carefully. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to live past five years.”

In other words, even if he recuperated carefully, he would at most live for five years.

He did not have much time left.

The prince was still young, so he had to clear all obstacles for the prince to become the king in the limited time he had.

Fortunately, because of the deterrence of the invincible pseudo-ultimate mage, the five transcending powers no longer dared to challenge the kingdom’s prestige.

The five great lords’ influence had also been swept clean. The current situation in the Faroe Kingdom was basically stable. In addition, the king had issued many excellent policies, allowing the people to gradually become rich. It was believed that it would not be long before the Faroe Kingdom would rise again.

…

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.

It was already fifteen years since the King had ascended the throne.

Lei Luo had been in Hiro Academy for a full twenty-four years and stayed in the library for eighteen years.

He was now thirty-four years old, but his face was still young and very handsome.

In these past four years, his cultivation had risen to a sixth-level ultimate mage.

Even if he had sufficient cultivation resources, the cultivation of an ultimate mage was becoming more and more difficult.

But he did not care. He had plenty of time.

To practice magic was to enjoy life.

But with the addition of Princess Wei, the library was much livelier. It was not as quiet as usual.

This girl was really persistent. She had stayed in the library for a full four years.

In the blink of an eye, she was already a sixteen-year-old girl.

She usually practiced very hard. In just four short years, she had broken through four ranks in a row and reached level-9 mage.

In other words, she was only one step away from becoming an elemental mage.

The reason Wei had improved so quickly was not only because of her hard work, but also because of Lei Luo.

As long as she was by Lei Luo’s side, Wei would be particularly motivated. It felt like she was by the side of someone she liked, trying to prove herself.
