Great Nobleman

After taking a deep breath, he ate two more pieces of chocolate presented by Brand.

Sonia's depressed and complicated mood gradually calmed down.

She is only in her thirties.

Although it is true that in some backward countries, even children are as old as Brand.

But this is the Kaya Empire!

She is no ordinary civilian either!

Of course, this is not the main problem now.

After seeing his father's strange reaction, he recalled the specific content of the "situation statement" in his hand.

Sonia realized that something was wrong!

The fact sheet in his father's hand was written when she was still obsessed with Brand's beauty.

——Some of the words describing Brand above are "very misleading"!

Thinking of this, and carefully recalling the wording on the explanatory document, Sonia tried to redeem herself:

"Father, you misunderstood. I just admire Brand a little bit. It's too early to say whether I like it or not. After all, Brand is not yet an adult, isn't he?"

Hearing this, Bernhard frowned slightly, and then asked:

"You mean to say that I will go after Brand becomes an adult..."

"No."

After interrupting and denying Bernhard's words with a flat face, Sonia continued:

"I mean, wait till the day I really like Brand."

After seeing Sonia's usual indifferent expression, Bernhard unconsciously looked at the explanatory document in his hand that could almost be said to be "struggling for the rights and interests of his future husband-in-law"...

——He felt a little weird.

Logically speaking, with Sonia's character, if she didn't really like Brand.

The wording on Sonia's document should not be so... "full of admiration".

So is this shy?

After returning his gaze to Sonia's face again, Bernhard showed a kind smile and said:

"Okay, then I will wait for your good news. When you can't help but want to marry Brand, I will go to Viscount Holland to discuss marriage matters."

In order to take care of Sonia's rare shyness, the considerate Bernhard didn't say any more, and hung up the communication on his own initiative.

After that, Bernhard quickly began to think about the impact of this incident, as well as the countermeasures he needed to take.

Among other things, a good relationship with Viscount Holland is definitely a must.

Although Sonia wanted to marry Brand, this kind of thing definitely needed the consent of Brand's father, Viscount Hollander.

Brand is so outstanding, a father would definitely not want his genius son to suffer.

As far as he knew, all the great nobles in the empire had discussed with Viscount Holland about marrying Brand.

But Viscount Holland never gave an affirmative answer.

Even if Sonia has the bonus of being an imperial princess, she is still so many years older than Brand.

Compared with the young and beautiful daughters of the great nobles, Sonia actually doesn't have much advantage at all!

After sighing, Bernhard began to think about the specific method.

Thinking about it carefully, the main development direction of the Holland family has always been focused on knight inheritance.

——From the beginning of the inheritance of knights in the upper middle of the empire, it has evolved to the current top of the empire!

To make the leap, the Hollanders have been relatively mediocre in many areas.

This is also one of the reasons why the Holland family, which has been passed down for so many years, is only a viscount family.

Now, the Holland family has produced Brand, a top mage genius in the empire, and it is at the time of the last Northern Expedition.

If there is no accident, it is almost certain that the Holland family will reach a new level because of this.

Therefore, the Holland family was originally the object of his intention to establish a good relationship.

And before that, he had instructed various departments of the empire and the imperial legion to maintain friendly attention to the Holland family.

Now, since Sonia intends to marry Brand.

Then Bernhard felt that it was necessary for him to make further advances and let Viscount Holland see his sincerity!

Of course, considering the rare and shy Sonia, Bernhard also felt that this matter should not be made too obvious.

Sonia here.

Although she also knew that her father must have misunderstood.

But she really didn't know how to explain it.

After all, the fact sheet that was sent over was "evidence", and no amount of explanation would be effective.

After thinking about it and struggling for a while, Sonia finally decided to put it badly.

——After a long time, he will always find that there is a "great difference" between the facts and the imagination!

...

Since I went to the Department of Foreign Affairs and got the "Emperor Capital Permanent Land Purchase Permit" in my hand.

Brand's life became relatively peaceful and regular.

Because it is necessary to prepare for the battle with Lord Holland.

So although he goes to Celine's class every day, he only learns Elven language that doesn't take up too much time after class.

Only when he asks actively, Celine will tell the relevant knowledge related to rune circles.

If nothing else, this situation should continue until the duel with Lord Holland is over, or Brand thinks that he is ready.

Elven language is also an extremely tedious subject.

Perhaps it is because there is no language talent, or because most of the energy is placed elsewhere.

All in all, Brand was a slow learner.

According to Celine's estimation, with Brand's current situation, it may take a year or two before he can barely learn enough.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

Anyway, in the short term, Elvish didn't help him much.

According to Celine, the reason why Brand Elven language is taught is because many of the advanced classics of runes and circles of their lineage are written in Elvish language.

——It is difficult to restore the original meaning when translated into human words!

According to Celine's teaching sequence, there is also an estimate of Brand's estimated learning speed.

It will take at least one or two years or longer before Brand needs to use Elvish.

So the timing was almost right.

In fact, Brand was also a little curious about the fact that the advanced books of their lineage of runes and circles were written in Elvish language.

After all, this kind of thing sounds like their rune circles were passed down from the elves.

However, when he asked about this matter and expressed his guess.

Celine shook her head in denial, and said that she would explain it to him in detail later.

...

On this day, Brand took a carriage with Catherine to the Imperial Academy of Royal Mages as usual.

Although there is still more than half a month before the start of the college, the various facilities in the college are still not open to students.

However, the popularity in the academy has also increased a little bit.

——The instructors who left the academy during the break have returned to the academy one after another.

According to Celine, they have recently been preparing for exchanges with various foreign mage forces.

Celine also occasionally gets involved.

At that time, the Kaya Empire Royal Master Academy will be one of the places where the two sides will communicate.

After entering the academy and saying goodbye to Catherine who was going to the academy duel venue for training.

Brand came all the way to Celine's studio.

After cordially greeting his teacher, Brand took the prepared potion with a cheerful expression, and then drank it in a few sips under Celine's complicated eyes.

In fact, over the past few days, Brand also found that every time he drank this potion, his teacher's eyes were a little strange.

Once she even tentatively asked:

Would you like to exchange this potion for another potion that is less effective but tastes better.

After hearing such inquiries or suggestions, Brand did not hesitate at all, and even said righteously:

"The taste is secondary, but the actual effect is more important!"

From that time on, Brand felt every time he drank the potion.

Celine's mood is so helpless and complicated.

——Brand felt that this should be because his teacher couldn't bear to see him work so hard every day, so he wanted him to slow down!

If it was the past, Brand would definitely accept his teacher's proposal.

But there is no way, he can't relax too much until he really defeats Lord Holland.

So I can only decline such kindness!
