Princess Alice was an exceptionally brilliant top student. Despite being the daughter of a Duke, she was also a powerful witch with extraordinary spiritual power.
At the tender age of sixteen, she was recommended to be the Speaker of the Sage Council.
It’s safe to say, she was an erudite individual.
She was a beautiful Caucasian woman with shining blonde hair.
Her calm tone, perfume-like aura, and elegant white coat were complemented by black boots.
Underneath her coat was a short knitted dress and a pair of slacks.
The elegant young lady was currently lying on a long bench in the garden, enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and taking a leisurely break.
On the white round table beside her, delicate red tea and pastries exuded their enticing fragrance, making Alice slightly close her beautiful eyes.
Now in her twenties, she had shed the immaturity she had when she first became Speaker. Her mature aura and physique, perfectly adorned, accentuated Alice’s alluring charm, like a bottle of fine perfume.
But just then, the sound of footsteps approached.
Even without opening her eyes, Princess Alice could easily discern the identity of the person from the sound of their footsteps.
And there was probably no one else who would bother her at this particular time.
“Oh, my dear～I told you not to disturb me at this time! This is a rare chance for me to relax, and I just lay down for a while! It’s rare to have such lovely weather today, don’t always wear that frown, Ms. Erikson.”
The woman called Ms. Erikson had her hair tied up, wore thin-framed glasses, and looked to be around thirty years old.
She stood beside Princess Alice with a serious expression.
“Your Highness, I don’t want to disturb you either, but this report needs your review. And don’t think I don’t know about your sneaking around using astral projection. It’s quite troublesome, you know.”
Ms. Erikson’s rigid tone lacked the softness typical of women. It was tiring just listening to her. After adjusting her glasses, she handed a stack of documents to Alice.
Before she could speak, Alice, with a smile, asked, “Oh, come on, no rest for the wicked, huh? Can’t a girl get a break? So, what is it this time? Has one of those “Kings” stirred up trouble again, or is there another Unruly God showing up?”
“Actually, strictly speaking, both… a new ‘King’ has been born!”
Ms. Erikson pushed her glasses up while speaking coldly. It was truly the kind of behavior one would expect from a “strict and stubborn female tutor.”
It was no wonder that she would sneak away to sign up for matchmaking services. Humans were indeed fascinating creatures.
As for why Alice knew about this, she had accidentally glimpsed into Erikson’s heart while using her spiritual power, uncovering her little secret.
But she was truly a teacher, responsible for Alice’s education, only she also doubled as the housekeeper.
The young woman, who had been squinting her eyes, suddenly opened them wide. After a moment of contemplation, she immediately took the documents from Ms. Erikson, slightly frowning and tilting her head.
“Oh my, this is truly a remarkable event. It has been quite some time since a new ‘King’ emerged.”
Although she was speaking seriously, Alice showed no sign of solemnity.
Then, seemingly nonchalantly flipping through the documents Ms. Erikson had given her, Alice’s eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an expression reminiscent of a child discovering a new toy.
“This is quite interesting! Oh, I have to go out.”
“Princess!”
The noble princess had a frail constitution, so she couldn’t go out at will.
However, whenever a “major incident” related to God-Slayers and Unruly Gods occurred, she couldn’t resist going to the front line to solve problems or gather intelligence.
Here it comes!
The person she had been waiting for finally appeared, and this time it was a long-awaited God-Slayer. This was a perfect opportunity to take a long trip!
In fact, this was what the young woman was thinking deep down.
Although it was a bit unfair to Ms. Erikson, this pattern would probably continue for a while… no, it would likely last indefinitely.
Moreover, constantly traveling around might make her spiritual power even stronger.
Perhaps even her weak body would get stronger too. Alice held onto this speculative hope and continued to ponder.
“Sorry, Ms. Erikson. I appreciate your concern, but something urgent came up. My body is feeling a bit unwell, so I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
She made the request with a gentle smile, not accepting any objections, because it was essentially a command.
“What in the world is so urgent, Princess?!”
“The usual, a world crisis. And Ms. Erikson, you should try smiling occasionally. You’ll never find a husband if you keep that frown on your face all the time!”
Erikson, who was entirely in line with the image of a strict and straightforward female tutor, finally revealed a troubled expression.
She had been secretly signed up for matchmaking services without anyone’s knowledge.
However, every potential partner had withdrawn due to her stern personality, leaving her constantly frustrated.
Now that Alice had unintentionally exposed her vulnerability, Erikson nearly went completely dark.
But before she could speak, Alice used her astral projection ability.
Her spirit, separated from her body, soared into the sky, leaving behind a lifeless shell that was promptly embraced by the helpless Ms. Erikson.
“Nice, just like my tutor.” The White Witch Princess’ astral projection, admiring Ms. Erikson, quickly flew out of the Sage Council headquarters.
A gentle breeze blew across the table, scattering the documents Alice had left behind.
The first thing that caught the eye was the bold headline: “Luo Chen Investigation Report!”
