Chapter 606 World 64
Catherine's face darkened: "The Erskine family treats magicians as servants. Don't assume that everyone is like you."
“Magicians have always been guests of the Eugene family, and the Eugene family has always upheld the will of their ancestor, the God of Magic, to support ordinary people with magical talents.”
“Miss Erskine has a beautiful mouth, but if she always says unpleasant and malicious things, she might get into trouble at any time.”
"you!"
“Alright, cousin,” Miss Erskine wanted to argue with her further, but was stopped by Prince Xue’an.
This time, he kept a straight face, and Miss Erskine lowered her head, took a step back, and truly stopped talking.
Prince Xue'an said a lot afterward, but Stella didn't take it to heart. However, Catherine had no choice but to dismount and see the prince off.
Just as Catherine's face fell and she was about to turn back, Stella finally called out to her.
"Catherine."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Catherine thought she had misheard. But when she turned around and saw Stella being blocked outside by her own guards, her eyes lit up. Forgetting her anger, she went up, took Stella's hand, and went inside.
Ignoring the stares of passersby on the street, Catherine said, "Stella, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"
“I missed you too, so as soon as I left home this time, I rushed to the capital of the Xuean Empire using the teleportation array,” Stella said, taking off her hood. “I was worried about how to get in to find you, but luckily, I was fortunate.”
“Stella, you’ll be beautiful when you grow up too,” Catherine complimented, then covered her face. “You must have seen it all just now, right? Ah! You rarely come here, why did I have to let you see such an embarrassing side of me?”
“I only noticed one thing,” Stella explained earnestly, “Why would she say that about you? Didn’t you say before that she had given up targeting you after the engagement was broken off?”
Catherine chuckled softly, then pulled Stella to her room before saying, "It's not His Majesty and the Queen yet."
"My family followed the Queen's wishes and dissolved my engagement with the Crown Prince, but they regretted it."
"But this time, they are reluctant to give me the position of Crown Princess, and want to make me the First Concubine."
Catherine rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "A concubine? Who cares!"
"However, they didn't say this out loud, so that idiot Erskine only knows that the Queen and the Crown Prince regret it and are afraid that I will take her position as Crown Princess, so he's come after me again."
Stella frowned: "None of her family members know about this?"
“Of course there are, but the Erskine family isn’t all of one mind. There are always those who don’t want their branch to stay on good terms,” Catherine’s expression turned strange. “Stella, you heard the last few sentences, you should have heard her mention Duchess Tommy?”
After Stella nodded, Catherine continued, "His Majesty's new choice for daughter-in-law is this very woman. Otherwise, why would he have sent her all the way from the Duchy of Dumi to the capital of the Xuean Empire?"
"Erskin is still treating her like an honored guest. When the news is announced... it's a pity I'm going to the Holy Magic Academy and won't be able to see her expression."
Stella feigned shock, then quickly said to Catherine, "Then just stay out of it like this. When the new Crown Princess is announced, you'll be far away at the magic academy, so they won't be able to find you."
"Moreover, with your talent, you will definitely become a high-level mage or even a great mage very soon."
"At that time, everyone will only see your magical talent, and no one will mention your engagement with the Crown Prince."
“I think so too, so now I can’t even get angry anymore,” Catherine stood up and looked in the direction of the palace. “Stella, you see, Erskine has been competing with me since we were little, but she has never gotten what she wanted. Now she has to compete with another woman.”
“And I,” Catherine turned back, holding Stella’s hands in her own, “because of a good teacher, I can finally be free from these days. Thank you, Stella.”
Stella feigned shyness: "The method to break the curse was found by Robert, and you gathered all the items yourselves. I can only be considered as the catalyst for you meeting Robert."
“You can’t say that,” Catherine said. “Because Stella, you are my teacher, and that’s how it all started. Don’t argue with me about that.”
“Alright,” Stella said, “then I will take on the responsibility of being a teacher.”
"Catherine, didn't you say you were going to surprise me? Come on, let me see what you've got."
“Okay,” Catherine was more than willing to listen to this. “Come on, I’ll take you to the training room. My recovery isn’t something that should be known to too many people right now.”
Stella got up with her and watched as she manipulated all the basic magic in the training room with ease, admiring her in her heart.
As expected of the female lead, she is loved by the world.
It's only been a short time since the curse was lifted, yet he has already learned and mastered all the basic magic systems.
Judging from this magical skill, it has at least reached the level of an intermediate mage.
Stella showered Catherine with compliments until Catherine's ears turned red, and then quickly pulled Stella out to eat.
"These past few days, the Emperor has been frequently sending my father to the palace to strengthen our relationship. He won't be back until before dinner, but when he returns and sees you, he'll be very happy. He's been wanting to thank you properly for a long time."
“No need to be so polite,” Stella said. “As you just said, you are my disciple, which is why you met Robert. But on the other hand, I am your teacher, so why can’t I help you lift the curse?”
Catherine was touched and held Stella's hand tightly: "Okay, then I'll tell my father later, but you must accept what he gives you. They are all good things that I personally selected."
"But Stella, are you really not planning to go to the magic academy with me?"
"There are good people like my family among the human race, but there are also many bad people."
"You treat people with such sincerity and ask for nothing in return. I'm really afraid you'll suffer losses outside."
Stella wasn't sure if Catherine was being sincere: "It's just because it's you."
"If it were someone else, I would still be able to calculate it very clearly."
"Back in our tribe, our teachers repeatedly emphasized in class that we should never trust cunning humans!"
“You’ve been taught correctly,” Catherine said, not believing that the word “cunning” could describe her at all. “Anyone but me could deceive you or plot against you.”
"So Stella, you must be careful of humans, no, you can't easily trust non-humans either, understand?"
Stella blinked, about to nod, when she heard a maid knocking on the door.
"Miss Catherine, the Third Prince has come to visit. Would you like to see him?"
