“Resurrection with Dignity!” After a busy day, Young Master returned home, lying on his bed, reminiscing about the day’s gains.
In the morning, he eradicated a goblin nest, earning both rewards and loot, making a decent sum of money.
Back in the capital of Camella, Winnie went on to complete his daily tasks: three virtue points at the orphanage and two virtue points from prayers, totaling five points.
It’s worth mentioning that after clearing the goblin nest, Winnie was surprised to find that his virtue had increased by a whopping 10 points!
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Eliminating those wicked goblins accumulates merit, right?
In just one day, he boosted his virtue from 9 points to 24 points!
Only 6 points away from the 30 needed to awaken his bloodline!
Hehehe.
Looking at the money he earned through a day of hard work and then at the mithril mace hanging on the wall.
Numb, completely numb from the profits.
Money earned, virtue stacked, feels great!
Today, Winnie achieved immense spiritual satisfaction.
After a shower, he slept soundly until noon the next day.
Then, without losing enthusiasm, he dove back into his daily tasks, living a truly fulfilling life.
After another busy day of completing daily tasks, his virtue successfully rose from 24 points to 29 points.
Just one more point!
Winnie looked eagerly at his virtue count.
Tomorrow, as soon as the daily tasks refresh, he can finally unlock his family bloodline!
The Varelis family, resurrected with dignity!
Wait, did he forget something?
Slapping his head, Winnie remembered.
Tomorrow is also the day he’s scheduled to duel with the knight order.
Some clown wants to make a fool out of him.
“Tch, what a hassle.” If it weren’t for the forty gold coins, Winnie really wanted to slap Charon and tell him not to disturb his virtue stacking.
Winnie flipped through the [Lightweight Armor] he bought from the Soul Armament collection Shop in the afternoon.
This is one of the few universal-type skills for Armor.
As for whether he’ll go to the royal palace duel tomorrow.
Of course, he’ll go. Why else would he buy [Lightweight Armor]??
His compatibility with [Armor Fortress] is 100%. Although he still doesn’t understand where this 100% compatibility manifests, how can he not go?
Today’s goblin extermination battle boosted his confidence. He now feels incredibly strong.
However, he’s not getting carried away.
Even though his opponent is just a squire apprentice, at the same beginner level as him, his chances of winning aren’t high.
After all, he’s a squire apprentice from the Wrathful Dragon Knight Order.
Looking back at the [Lightweight Armor] Skill, it’s not useless, but its usefulness isn’t that significant either.
Half-lying on the bed, Winnie pondered his tactical plans for tomorrow. As he thought, sleepiness gradually took over.
—
Before dawn, while most of the capital was still asleep, figures were already moving in the royal training grounds of Camella Palace.
A stunning young girl, dressed in light athletic wear, tied up her golden hair that shimmered like flowing gold.
Wielding a sword, her movements were as graceful as a golden butterfly dancing.
This is the time when Mirexia practices her sword skills in the morning, a habit she’s maintained since childhood.
It’s the only time she can train, as her schedule is packed for the rest of the day.
Due to her mother’s difficult childbirth and early passing, the king had no intention of remarrying.
As the king’s only child and the first heir to the throne of the Camella Kingdom, Mirexia began assisting her father with official duties several years ago, taking on part of the royal family’s responsibilities.
Apart from magic lessons and various other courses, she also had to allocate time to fulfill her obligations as a member of the royal family.
Aside from sleeping, she hardly had any leisure time to herself.
Mirexia’s personal maid stood to the side, holding a towel and a water bottle, waiting calmly.
Just then, another maid quietly lifted her skirt and entered the training ground.
She approached the personal maid and whispered a few words.
The latter nodded, indicating that she would inform Her Highness later.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Mirexia finished her sword practice and walked over.
“Your Highness, Lady Aesphyra requests an audience with you,” said the maid, handing the towel and water bottle to the radiant golden-haired girl.
The maid slightly averted her gaze, not daring to look directly at the dazzling princess, whose glistening sweat made her even more captivating.
She was afraid she might be swayed.
To be honest, the maid had served as Mirexia’s personal attendant for quite some time.
The thought that the princess would one day marry seemed both unbelievable and unimaginable to her, as she felt no one in the world was worthy of such a perfect princess.
Having served Mirexia for so long, she couldn’t find a single thing the princess wasn’t exceptional at.
Magic, eloquence, etiquette, academics, swordsmanship, combat skills, professional competence—there wasn’t a single flaw to be found.
In the royal capital, some admired her beauty, others her talent, and some revered her status and authority.
Mirexia, who embodied all three, had suitors lining up from one end of the city to the other.
And that was just in the capital. If you included all the human nations and the Carillian Academy, the number of admirers could probably fill an ocean.
“Alright, I understand,” Mirexia nodded slightly.
Every subtle movement of the young girl exuded grace and elegance, showcasing the demeanor of a royal princess.
“Thank you for your hard work today, Kalin.”
“It is my honor to be of service to you, Your Highness,” Kalin curtsied, holding her skirt and stepping back with a respectful bow.
“Please have Lady Aesphyra wait in the garden for a moment.” Mirexia certainly couldn’t meet guests in her current state, as it would be quite impolite.
Before meeting any guest, Mirexia would always cleanse herself, change into appropriate attire, and apply a bit of light makeup.
Though in Kalin’s eyes, Her Highness was naturally beautiful and looked stunning even without makeup.
After bathing and changing, Mirexia donned her usual formal attire.
A white-and-gold-accented lace-trimmed dress highlighted the young girl’s perfect figure.
Milk-white knee-high socks and the hem of her skirt accentuated the alluring absolute territory, while her flawless, jade-like feet, shaped like perfect arches, stepped into crystal high heels.
Her voluminous golden hair, like the sun, was tied into flowing twin tails with a pair of ice-blue butterfly hairpins, cascading down to her calves.
The princess walked with elegant steps to the royal courtyard, a place often used for noble ladies to chat over tea.
As expected, the strikingly beautiful silver-haired girl was already waiting in the white stone pavilion.
Today, as always, Aesphyra’s captivating smile was like that of a fairy, yet friendly and humble, making it impossible for anyone to dislike her.
“My apologies for keeping you waiting, Lady Aesphyra. I took some time to tidy up my appearance,” Mirexia said gracefully as she sat down. A maid standing by poured tea for both of them.
“Not at all. If anything, I should apologize for my sudden visit. I hope it hasn’t caused you any inconvenience, Your Highness?” Aesphyra smiled gently, her expression deepening noticeably the moment Mirexia appeared in her sight.
