Chapter 24: Let Me See Your Loyalty


    Lashia couldn’t settle down her heart and couldn’t believe what had just happened before her eyes. The legendary Sir Cliff acted so intimately with that idiot and even fawned over her! Hatred, jealousy, unwillingness, Lashia was swallowed up by these emotions in an instant.


    “Master, what’s going on? Why is that idiot so close with Sir Cliff?” Lashia gritted her teeth, pushing down her emotions. If ire was in front of her right now, she might have jumped on her and bitten her a few times. She was supposed to be the talented genius girl! She was what the world revolved around! That moron had now climbed up on her head.


    “I’m not sure either. But the thing I do know is, Master has already taken her as his disciple and treats her very dotingly.” Mozart sighed lightly. He understood Lashia’s feelings, but ire bing his Master’s disciple was already uncontestable. He hoped this wouldn’t deal too much of a blow to his proud and arrogant disciple.


    “Impossible. She’s a man-chaser, and so stupid and ignorant.” Lashia’s mood was extremely agitated. How could she ept this situation?! This idiot man-chaser she looked down on and hated the most is now her revered master’s junior sister!!! What kind of bullshit joke was this, not even funny. This was the first time Lashia cursed so indecently in her heart.


    “Yeah, Master, how is it possible? She must have seduced Sir Cliff.” One of the other disciples said very certainly. His face was also full of wrath.


    “That’s right, master, you must figure out what really happened. Maybe that man-chasing ire drugged Sir Cliff with a love potion.” The other disciple added, undeterred.


    “Shut up!” Nobody expected Mozart’s face to change. He angrily reprimanded, “All of you shut up, you’re not allowed to talk rubbish.”


    They all quieted down. This was the first time they had seen their Master so angry.


    “Your jealousy has blinded you, making you lose all reason! Where did your self-restraint, your intellect go?” Mozart scolded angrily. “Do you think ire, who hasn’t even be a true magician, can drug a wizard sage? Master is perverted, but have you ever heard of Master doing irrational things or be muddleheaded due to feminine charms? You’re not just falsely using ire, but also dishonoring Master.”


    They all froze and felt fear, not even daring to breathe too loudly. None of them could afford to dishonor Cliff. Mozart’s words pricked their heart like a needle. Yes, not to talk about ire, but even their Master didn’t have the capabilities to drug Cliff. The truth really was merciless, that the legendary great Cliff really epted ire, the man-chaser, as a disciple.


    Mozart looked his three ashen-faced disciples and sighed quietly. These three were all very talented, but they were too young and too easily jealous. With that temperament their road would be a bumpy one. Maybe he had pampered them too much. Looking at it now, not letting them experience any setbacks was the wrong teaching method.


    “Master, I’m sorry.” Lashia apologized first. Her meekness was one of the biggest reasons that Mozart was so fond of her.


    “Master, we’re sorry.” The other two disciples also quickly apologized.


    “You are all too young. I hope you can be more mature, and not let your eyes, or here, be deceived by outside appearances.” Mozart said sincerely, pointing to his heart.


    “Yes, Master.” They all nodded in response, looking a bit ashamed.


    “Although I don’t know why Master would take ire as a disciple, it is now the undeniable truth. She is now my junior sister, and I expect you to have proper respect.” Mozart sighed, a little resigned. He knew that based on Lashia’s spoiled personality, she just might go pick a fight. He sighed again. “Lashia, do not do anything extreme, do you understand?” Mozart wasn’t worried about Lashia and ire’s sisterly rtionship, but that Cliff might get angry. Cliff was a very protective person, and from his attitude today towards ire he could tell that Cliff liked ire very much. If his precious ire was hurt, no one could bear his wrath.


    “Yes.” On the surface, they all promised, but Mozart couldn’t know their true thoughts. Lashia also agreed obediently, but inside her heart, jealousy and hate grew crazily like weeds.


    “Come on, one day we will know why Master has taken her as his disciple. Right now what we need to do is to continue our learning.” Mozart led them on. The three exchanged nces, and followed behind.


    In the Magician Council, ire observed the interior.


    She was on the first floor right now. It was like a big za with a few windows around. These were where magicians could apply for assessments. In the middle, there was a huge, round tform. Looking up, the ceiling above the round tform was empty. It was actually a huge elevator that went straight to the top.


    Getting onto the elevator, Cliff casually started chanting, and the round tform steadily ascended. When they slowly reached the second floor, ire was surprised to find that it consisted of shops closely lined together. Every shop had a shopkeeper, and judging by the style of their robes, they were all apprentice magicians. Why? ire asked herself. Didn’t magicians all hate those greedy merchants? How would they themselves open shops?


    Cliff seemed to see ire’s confusion andughingly exined, “These shops have all been created by magicians themselves, and are used to trade magical items, but not sell.”


    So it was like this, ire immediately understood. This was a great idea and made interactions between magicians easier.


    On the third floor were personalboratories of magicians, the higher up, the higher the status.


    Naturally, the top floor was Cliff’sboratory.


    “Ahaha, ire, look, how is my ce?” Cliff, exactly like a child showing off, pointed at his hugeboratory andughed, pleased.


    “I don’t see anything special.” ire indifferently responded. In fact, a magician’sboratory was iparably messy, with a certain order in the mess. Perhaps only the owner would know where his supplies were.


    “Wait.” A notebook suddenly appeared in Cliff’s hand and he handed it to ire, “Here, these are my notes when I first became a magician. They should be very useful.”


    ire epted it and flipped through it, raising her eyebrows. Sure enough, the views in this notebook were very unique and to the point. Can’t deny that this perverted old man is still very smart. As the only wizard sage in all of Amparnd, he did know his books.


    “Presently, you’re not ready to use too high level spells, I’ll teach them to you when the timees. The world of magic is exquisite and wide. You can’t be too patient on learning magic.” Cliff said seriously. This happened to coincide with what Emery had said.


    “Yes, I know, Master.” ire’s “Master” made Cliff ted again.


    “Next week is the princess’s birthday, you must arrive early.” Cliff suddenly changed the topic.


    ire was a bit puzzled. Based on Cliff’s character, normally he wouldn’t care about the outside world and wouldn’t attend this kind of boring banquet, but now he brought up this topic himself. How could it not be weird? Then ire saw Cliff’s evil grin, and her intuition told her that nothing good woulde out of this.


    “Master, did anyone ever tell you your smile is very obscene?” ire frowned at Cliff, who was stillughing evilly.


    “Really? Really?” Cliff immediately became serious and asked frowning.


    “What is your purpose?” ire didn’t trust her vulgar Master’s words. The more serious he was, the more suspicious.


    “It’s nothing, haha, ahaha~” Cliffughed so hard he couldn’t close his mouth. “Haha, it’s just that that old man will also go. Ahaha~~”


    ire looked at Cliff skeptically, curious about who the old man he was talking about was.


    “Well well, darling disciple, wait for me to finish this experiment and then I’ll go find you. In Duke Hill’s castle, right?” Cliffughed, obviously in a really, really good mood.


    “Yes.” ire nodded and didn’t ask anything. In any case, she would find out which old guy it was that her master mentioned on that day.


    “Remember, you must go early to the pce.” Cliff mentioned again just in case. Even if the princess didn’t invite ire, ire still would have gone as Cliff’s disciple, a status to which no one could object.


    “I know.” ire responded. Suddenly she remembered something. “Master, do you have any special wands or anything?”


    “What kind do you want?” Cliff blinked as he asked.


    “I want to give the princess a gift, but I haven’t thought of anything suitable. She must already have many jewels and whatnot.” ire didn’t show the slightest trace of modesty when revealing her intention.


    Cliff nced around, thought for a moment, and then suddenly a gorgeous wand appeared in his hand. It was exquisite, with many clear and beautiful jewels iid on it, reflecting the light perfectly, looking so pretty and useful. The antique designs on the wand made it look even more mysterious.


    “This really isn’t anything precious, but it’s enough to cajole a young girl who likes pretty things.” Cliff handed the wand to ire.


    Although Cliff said this, the wand was not a cheap thing. It was just that in Cliff’s eyes, it wasn’t much. After taking it, ire frowned slightly. She was thinking about how to trick this perverted master into giving her some of his treasures.


    “Yes. Good, I’ll continue on with my stupid experiment.” After sending ire off, Cliff went up again and immersed himself in an experiment.


    ire and Jean left the Magician Council and went on the carriage. ire leaned on the side of the carriage in the back with her eyes closed to rest.


    After the carriage traveled for a while, ire suddenly opened her eyes.


    ire looked towards Jean, a sh of coldness in her eyes. Jean’s eyes were also icy.


    The coachman wasn’t going on the right path.


    It wasn’t the path back to the Hill castle! Coachmen had to go through a rigorous selection, and were absolutely loyal to the Hill n. So who else could havemanded the coachman?


    An imperceptible callous smile emerged on ire’s lips.


    That over-pampered, silly girl, seems like the previous beating wasn’t enough for her to learn her lesson.


    Jean’s eyes werepletely cold. He slowly lifted his head towards ire and said steadily, “Anything detrimental to you, anything in your way, I will eliminate without any hesitation.”


    ire quietlyughed, “Even if it’s the Hill n’s second Miss?”


    “Yes!” Jean said decisively. His handsome face was as cold as ciers and his eyes were as frigid and deep as the night sky.


    ire smiled but didn’t speak and quietly looked at Jean.


    After a while, ire opened her vermillion red lips.


    “Good. Then let me see your resolution. Let me see your loyalty.”


    In the carriage, ire’s quiet voice was like a demon’s faint sigh.
