Chapter 148: The Chosen Candidate for the Main Palace
After having dinner, Rin hurried back to his room.
Looking at the few books on the desk, he felt somewhat relieved.
Not having read for several days, he surprisingly felt withdrawal symptoms. On the last day, he was really restless and uncomfortable.
He gently patted the cover of the book, Rin relaxed, grabbed his clean clothes and went to the shower to take a bath.
When he came out, he had already changed into his pajamas and pajama pants, sat on the chair in front of the desk, casually opened a book and a notebook that was only one-third used.
Honestly, he still felt quite tired mentally, even though taking a bath didn't provide much relief, but compared to the fatigue and days of abstaining from studying, it was incomparable.
Rin planned to review his knowledge of elemental reactions and go to sleep when he got too tired.
Also, he had a little bit of doubt in his mind.
When studying basic magic theory, it's well known that those in the Holy Light class, whether mage or therapist, cannot learn magic from other elemental classes.
Because light is the purest magic element in the world, having an affinity with the light element makes it impossible to communicate with other elements, which establishes the supreme status of the Holy Light class among all magical elements.
Another well-known fact is that fire mages find it difficult to learn water magic, although not impossible, just challenging, because elemental affinities are conflicting.
As a descendant of the Phoenix bloodline, Rin is not purely a fire mage. He can actually use some low-level earth and air magic, but water element is absolutely out of reach for him.
So, why did it feel a bit watery before?
Being a super curious baby, Rin decided to reinforce his knowledge and also solve his current doubts.
...
At this moment, Yuki had also finished her report, she lowered her eyes slightly, stood up, and checked the time.
Hmm, according to my little brother's habits, he should still be awake now.
She walked into the yard, glanced at Rin's room, and indeed saw the lights still on. She could clearly see through the window that her brother was studying attentively.
Seeing his thoughtful and focused appearance, Yuki felt a bit ticklish in her heart. She wanted to sit him on her lap, holding him while watching him concentrate.
It must be the happiest thing in her life!
Calming down her sudden desire, Yuki walked towards the window of Rin's room, wanting to get a closer look and appreciate it for a while.
At that moment, they saw a figure appear beneath the window. The figure looked up for a while, then leaped up lightly like a small cat onto the windowsill of the first floor, getting ready to climb up.
When Sword Saint noticed someone, they instinctively placed their other hand on the sword handle to activate alert mode. However, after seeing who it was, they put their hand down.
"Miss Emilia, it's late. What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Emilia, like a cat climbing a tree hearing a dog bark, trembled slightly and slowly turned her head.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Want... to find... Rin."
"..."
Yuki expressed that even though she held a rank closest to a hero, she still couldn't understand what this hero in front of her was thinking.
"Miss Emilia."
"Call me Emilia, Sister Yuki."
"Hmm, Emilia."
Yuki looked very serious, like teaching a younger person, "As a hero, you should have the qualities of a hero. If you want to see your brother, please use the front door instead of doing something like stealing jewels, okay?"
Emilia still stood expressionless in place, agreeing quickly, "Okay, I will use the front door."
"It's too late now," Yuki paused, "It's best not to disturb your brother late at night."
"Oh."
Emilia hesitated for a moment, probably feeling that it was not a good idea to act at night with Yuki around, as her brother would soon be asleep. With a bit of reluctance and helplessness, she nodded.
However, just as she turned around, Yuki's voice came again from behind, making Waste Hero feel slightly better.
"Also, I... I don't mind you and your brother being close friends. If possible, I hope that when I'm not around, Emilia can take care of him."
"Yes, I promise."
Miss Hero, who was praised, walked away with lighter steps.
After saying goodbye to hero, Yuki bit her lip, stood still for over ten seconds, then snapped out of it and continued towards her brother's room.
As she stepped onto the second floor and entered the corridor, Yuki had barely taken a few steps when a small figure from a nearby room opened the door and walked out, giggling, making her way to Rin's room.
"Your Highness Elise?"
Hearing Yuki's voice, the little princess shivered all over, then hesitantly turned around, showing a goofy smile at Yuki, saying, "Good evening, Sister Yuki!"
"Good evening, Elise. Are you looking for your brother?"
The silly elk rubbed its paws and the ahoge hair shook shyly, "Y-yes! I have something to tell Little Rin!"
Yuki remained serious, her voice flat, "Can't it wait till daytime?"
"Oh, um... sorry, I couldn't say it during the day, um..."
The silly elk then lowered its head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"If there's something on your mind, feel free to tell me during the day. You are my brother's fiancee, and we should have a close and trusting relationship where you can speak up about anything."
The silly elk girl jumped up and said, "Got it, Sister Yuki."
Yuki's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and she continued to encourage, "While I'm away, Little Rin relies on you. I can see that my brother really likes you. If it were Elise, she would definitely make him happy every day."
The Sword Saint didn't need to flatter anyone; she spoke the truth.
Though she felt a bit uncomfortable and bitter inside, she had to admit that based on what she had observed, her brother really pampered his fiancee. Whether Elise was acting cute or sad, he always comforted her.
The silly elk was really excited and happy, her smile looked even sillier. She said, "I will surely make Little Rin happy! And I will also protect him well!"
After saying that, the elk hummed a little song and happily jumped around.
"Hey!"
At that moment, Rin's door opened, his face showing impatience, and he grumbled, "Why is a silly elk and a foolish Sword Saint making noise outside my door? So annoying! Go away!"
