before he was crowned king

"Xion, aren't you resting in His Highness's dormitory? How did you appear here?" Erics lowered his head, looking at the gurgling and tumbling liquid in the cauldron.

"Passing by, Professor Nick happens to be teaching here, and I'm here to deliver the research materials for these days." Sean held a small lancet and divided the blue petals into regular geometric shapes.

"So that's how it is." Alex stirred the boiling potion clockwise, feeling a little warm in his heart.Although Sean said that he was here to deliver materials, the other party also came out of worry.He knew very well that this friend of his had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Sean poured out the thick potion in the cauldron, glanced at Erics, and saw a silly smile on that handsome face, he was sure that the other party was thinking about endless things again.

Why do you want to help this person out?Such behavior is obviously redundant.

Reason began to urge him to reflect on himself.Sean couldn't ask and answer by himself, he thought about it, maybe it was out of a little guilt, so he showed kindness to Erics, which was barely a negligible compensation.

"Okay." Sean handed the sealed concentration potion to Alex.

"It's ready?" Alex shook the small dark blue bottle, his face full of disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." Sean rinsed his hands.

"Forget it, I don't have time to fall asleep right now." Alex shook his head, holding the small potion bottle and lined up at the end of the line, waiting for the professor's final inspection.

Sean sat in his original position and cleaned up the table, when two people walked towards him.

"Sean Miller."

"What's the matter?" Sean raised his head, and the two students who came to him were the two students who were playing tricks on Alex.

"Why are you helping Erics?" Perhaps because they were afraid of the rumors between Sean and His Royal Highness, the two spoke cautiously.

"Then why are you targeting him?" Sean did not give a direct answer, but chose to answer questions with questions.

"Of course it's for His Royal Highness Mars." One of them replied, "Mrs. Mary burned down the Falcon Club, obviously because of factional struggles. She looked down on us and wanted to disown us."

The flapping of a tiny butterfly's wings can wreak havoc.And Mrs. Mary's action, which was originally just to vent her anger, has long been over-interpreted as a fierce provocation between the two factions.

Sean lowered his brows slightly, understanding that the motive of the two people's actions was to support His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

"His Highness Mars has not given similar instructions." Sean said indifferently, "You will only damage His Highness's reputation for benevolence."

"But—" The two were a little unwilling.

"Thank you for supporting His Royal Highness Mars, but I hope you will choose a more superior method. An Eriks will not become a stumbling block in the future of His Royal Highness Mars." Sean said slowly, "Become the elite that His Royal Highness needs Talent becomes an indispensable force for the glory of the empire, and this is the direction you should work hard for."

"What did they tell you just now?" Leaving the classroom, Alex couldn't help asking.

When he was handing in the quest potion in front of the classroom, he saw the two troublemakers talking to Sean.He originally thought that the other party wanted to trouble Sean because he wanted to trouble him, but before he could walk over, the two of them would walk away with weird expressions on their faces.

"They came to ask me how to quickly prepare the medicine." Sean said casually.

"That's all you asked?" Erics looked puzzled, a little disbelieving.

"What's the result of handing in?" Sean changed the topic.

"Of course the grades are excellent." Alex smiled, "Thanks to you, Sean, you are simply my lucky star."

"Lucky star." Sean frowned.

"It just describes the person who brings you luck." Alex said, "Fiona said that everyone will have a lucky star in their horoscope. As long as you stay by his side, even if you don't do anything Unexpected good things will happen.”

Sean didn't speak. In his opinion, Alex's remarks were just words used by people for psychological comfort, but he did not deny that there was a destiny arrangement in this world, because he had become the special existence that broke the order.

What should be engraved in the future history depends not only on the rotation of the horoscope, but also on his choice.

"Master."

Alex and Sean turned their heads at the same time.Lao, the servant of Rose Manor, ran towards them.Sean withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, while Erics looked nervous.

"Nau, what's going on?" Alex asked.

"Master, the message from Baron Cister, the lady has come out of the dungeon, I'll pick you up." Lao said out of breath.

"You... said that my mother was released?" Erics was a little stunned. A few days ago, he couldn't even inquire about the news, but he was released today.

"Master, let's go quickly, the carriage is already waiting at the gate of the academy." Lao persuaded.

"Yeah." Alex was a little confused, he turned his head to say goodbye to Sean, but found that the other party was staring at him.

"Let's go together." Shane said.

"Ah? You...Are you going too? Are you serious?" Alex didn't expect Sean to make such a request. Although his mother's condition seemed to be under control, he almost went to pick it up in person. The person who killed him is released from prison... This scene is a bit too embarrassing.

Sean nodded: "Didn't you say that I am a lucky star?"

"That's right, that's right. But—" Alex's expression was tangled, and he didn't refuse. It would be great if Sean could resolve the misunderstanding with his mother.It's just that he feels that the development of things may not be as smooth as he thought...

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Sean glanced at Lao Lao lightly, signaling him to lead the way.

"Xion, do you really want to see... my mother?" Sitting on the carriage, Alex let out a breath.

The carriage stopped in the open space, and they had come to the exit of the dungeon.Sean was sitting by the window, and two ferocious stone statues of giant beasts looked at him. The crooked stone-step passage extended down into the dark underground, and the faintly flickering firelight presented a horrifying atmosphere.

"Ma'am, come out." Lao, who was driving, suddenly shouted.

The heavy iron chain door opened slowly, and the cold air was mixed with a faint smell of blood. A thin and pale woman slowly climbed up the stone steps.Alex and Law had already rushed out of the carriage, and Sean was still sitting in the distance quietly watching the woman struggling.

"Mother, how are you feeling now? You have compromised so early." The corner of Sean's mouth rose invisibly. He thought it would take a lot of time for the royal family to make the female mage willing to wear the monitor. Thinking of giving in to the other party's will in less than half a month.

The corner of Sean's mouth curled up in joy, and he stepped out of the carriage unhurriedly, preparing to witness the moment when a woman's self-esteem was completely shattered.

Mary Victoria raised her hand to cover her eyes. After staying in the dark and humid environment for a long time, she could not immediately adapt to the strong sunlight outside.

Grand Duke Henry asked her to follow the court's judgment first. The military has limited contacts, and will find a way to help her turn around after she is out of the dungeon.She has no choice, the time in the dungeon is extremely difficult, because she is a noble woman, the military did not use any harsh criminal laws against her, but as long as she does not sign the "Dangerous Magic Supervision Petition" ", the anesthesia injected into her body will not stop, and now she has no other way out except to believe in Grand Duke Henry's words and temporarily choose to compromise.

She put down her hand, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the black ring on her left thumb, and an uncontrollable sense of nausea surged from her chest.

Mary Victoria stopped, bent over and retched.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Alex's voice sounded from above.

"Arix." Madam Mary quickly covered her mouth, suppressing her vomiting, relaxed her expression and slowly raised her head.

Under the glare of the sun, there were two figures standing on the high steps looking down at her, one was her proud son, and the other was...

The nightmare she couldn't kill.

The blond young man stood quietly, without making a sound or moving, just standing on the steps and looking at her... She saw a hidden smile in that indifferent gaze.

He was laughing, he was laughing at the situation where she fell into the dust at the moment.

Mrs. Mary climbed up the steps step by step with trembling legs. Alex ran down to help her, but she pushed her away forcefully.

"Mother?" Alex stood there stunned.

Madam Mary's footsteps became faster and faster, her eyes fixed on the young man who should have died in the flames, she rushed in front of the man, and raised her hand to hit him on the left side of the face.

Snapped.Sean didn't dodge, he chose to bear Madam Mary's angry slap.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Alex rushed over, interposed between the two of them, and turned his head, "Xion, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Sean said softly, calmly wiping away the blood from the woman's fingernails at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Madam's spirit hasn't recovered yet."

"Sean Cabed, you are a waste, no matter what you become, you will always be a useless and defective product." Madam Mary cursed viciously, "You are as humble as that woman."

"Sorry, Sean, can you go back first..." Erics heard his mother's rude cursing, only shame and embarrassment remained on his face, "I..."

"Alex, you are my son, how can you apologize to this bastard." Madam Mary's voice was almost crazy.

"Mother! That's enough!" Erics couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his head and whispered, "Enough, please, mother, please...please, don't do this..."

Erics froze, his face was burning with pain.

His mother was looking at him with the eyes of the enemy.

"Mother...he is my friend." Alex murmured, he didn't know what he did wrong.

He watched his mother raise her hand high again, but this time the slap didn't land on his face, and Sean grabbed the woman's arm halfway.

"Release!" snapped Lady Mary.

Sean didn't seem to hear, and glanced at the woman's fingertips to remind: "Madam, you are still wearing a ring."

"Let go! Bitch!" Hearing the ring, Madam Mary's blood boiled and her voice became sharper.

"Just came out of the dungeon, don't you feel tired?" Sean glanced at the dense pinholes on the opponent's wrist, "You should have a good sleep."

Sean's voice was like magic, unbelievable, Erics watched his mother suddenly quiet down, and then lost consciousness and passed out as if drunk.

"Mother, mother..." Erics hugged the woman and looked up at Sean blankly, "What did you do to my mother?"

"It's just the concentration potion, I just made it." Sean was silent for a while, "I have something else to leave first."

Alex opened his mouth looking at the young man's back, and finally lowered his head a little lonely.In fact, what he just said didn't mean to question, he didn't think Sean would hurt his mother at all.He was just... frightened by the sudden change.

"I'm so stupid." Erics blamed himself, he was annoyed, but right now he couldn't find Sean to explain, and sent the woman back to Rose Manor with Law.
