All students get their share. Not only Lina, but the coachman who picked up Lina and Hana also got his share.
"It's delicious."
"How about this?"
"What happen?" Seeing her classmates confused.
"If I choose one of the new teachers, I won't be able to taste the other teachers' cooking."
"If only the teacher marries me in the future, maybe I will be happy."
The women always gossiped about something unimportant, which made Lina laugh when she heard her students' conversations.
"Academy head, here is the soup." Vail handed Lina a bowl of soup.
"Thank you, teacher Vail." Lina accepted the food.
"There's something I want to tell you. This is about the tournament."
"Ah... you mean the existing inter-academy tournament," Cini remembered what Lina had said five days ago.
"But isn't that still eight months away? What does that have to do with the three of us." Rii wanted to make sure.
"The tournament this time is in the imperial capital, and they have such strict rules. Forbid all races other than humans from entering the imperial territory." Lina said again.
"You all already know, right, even though the imperial throne is still vacant. They have always maintained the regulations made by the emperor until now."
"So, what do you ask of the three of us? Head of the academy." Vail wanted to know and was so curious.
"The reason I accepted you guys is because you have so much power, I won't ask you to tell me the reason. But, I want you to keep an eye on the representatives from Startlight Academy." Lina told them what she wanted.
"Okay, we will accept it academy head." Cini received a request from Lina.
"…." Hana walked over to them.
Knowing that Hana had finished enjoying the small party, Lina immediately stood up and said goodbye to return to the palace with Hana.
Five months later. All students are being trained by several of their teachers, before being selected to serve as representatives.
"Haaa...so tired."
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult and tiring."
Hana, Tasya, and the others were very tired after finishing training.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting." Cini approached them carrying a waiter's trolley.
"…." Cini gave his students cold and refreshing drinks.
"What's wrong, you guys are such lackluster people." Cini was very curious about him tired students.
"Have you been able to master the magic taught by your other instructors?" Cini wants to be sure.
"We still have difficulty balancing, especially. We come from the lowest class, namely F," Maya said.
"Even though it's in the lowest class, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done." Cini tries to encourage his students.
"If we try, can we surpass class B?" Tia got excited and wanted to make sure.
"Haha...of course, you already know the answer, don't you." Cini raised their hopes.
"So, we can, if we want to?" Sofy confirmed and was so excited.
"You can't, what do you do? Impossible…" Cini dropped their spirits.
They all looked at teacher Cini, so irritated and irritated. Cini laughed, all the class F students didn't accept it and immediately went after their teacher.
"What happened?" Teacher Vail saw Cini being chased by some Class F students from a distance.
"Teacher—"
When Hana wanted to call the Vail teacher, she immediately stopped. Because she saw Teacher Sie following Teacher Vail in the academy corridor with both of them carrying piles of books.
"Do you guys have the same thoughts?" Just wanted to confirm with other friends.
"Teacher Sie, it's like she's approaching Teacher Vail." Tia also concluded this.
"I think it's not just Sie's teacher, Vina's teacher is also approaching Vail's teacher," Tasya told what she knew.
"Is it true?"
"Demon king Lina!" Tasya was surprised to see the head of the academy behind her.
"My apologies, it was not my intention to defame the vice academy head." Tasya is so guilty.
"No need to be stiff, but to straighten out. Miss Vina asked Vail's teacher for help for no other reason than for academy matters, especially since it's almost time for the match." Lina straightens out the misunderstanding that occurred between Vina and Vail.
"Moreover, the king and Neii will go to the Trus kingdom today. And that makes Miss Vina's busy schedule even more complicated and messy."
"You want to go to the Trus kingdom?" Maya was a little surprised.
"That's right, that's why Hana will stay temporarily in your dorm. Or you can stay with Hana in the palace." Lina informed.
"Especially Maya, isn't this a suitable time to be with your sister?"
"It's true that at the palace, sister Hana and I weren't as close as at the academy, but it was good. I will try to build a relationship with Hana's sister," Maya tells her destination.
Entering the afternoon, a soldier stopped a horse-drawn carriage that was about to leave.
"I'm sorry Mr owner, if only I knew we should have left in the morning." The man apologized for the problems that occurred.
"There's no need to apologize, Mr. Tobie."
"…." Tobie looked out the window of his horse-drawn carriage.
"Why did the royal carriage stop too?" Tobie was so surprised and very curious.
"Stop?"
"…." The door of their horse-drawn carriage was opened by a soldier.
"Who owns this horse carriage?" Asked the soldier who opened their door.
"I am the owner of this carriage," Tobie informed.
"Very well, at demon king Lina's request. Please allow her to join you." The soldier conveyed a message from Lina.
Tobie accepted, because he didn't want the person who had hired him and helped his family to wait any longer.
The soldier relayed Tobie's words, and not for long. The demon king Lina got out of the royal horse-drawn carriage and entered Tobie's horse-drawn carriage.
Tobie's horse-drawn carriage entered formation to travel to the Trus kingdom.
"Mr Tobie, could you cover your ears for a moment?"
"…" Tobie covered his ears without asking or saying.
"Demon king Lina, we shouldn't see each other. What made you come to me?"
"There's no need to be so stiff, Prince. I just came here to talk and spend my travel time with you." Lina told him the reason.
"Why did I suddenly…"
Tobie was unconscious, the masked man knew. If Lina had used sleep magic on Tobie.
"Mr. Tobie is not someone who likes to eavesdrop on conversations." Reprimanded Lina.
"No need to worry, I just put him to sleep for a while," Lina informed.
"The restaurant you bought has a piece of paper that can only be obtained by asking King Ligt to make it... only, you have it and even the symbol of the Gerna kingdom."
"From what I know, there are no traces of your magic to indicate you have ever visited the palace."
"…It's true that I didn't visit the palace, however. What if the king came to my restaurant and I used that opportunity to ask him to make paper as proof." The man put out a lot of speculation that had been prepared.
"I'm not satisfied with your answer, but I'll accept it." Lina didn't mind this weightless statement.
"Why are you heading to the Trus kingdom?" The man wanted to know.
"If you want to know, then come along." Lina didn't want to tell him.
Twenty days later, their horse-drawn carriage arrived in front of the Trus royal palace.
"…." Two soldiers from the Trus kingdom opened the door of the carriage belonging to the Gerna kingdom. And Tobie's horse-drawn carriage.
"Welcome to this kingdom. King Ligt, demon king Neii, and demon king Lina." A high noble greeted them.
"Are you the noble who leads this kingdom?" King Ligt wanted to be sure.
"That's right King Ligt, my name is William," William told King Ligt and confirmed his words.
"We brought two extra people without your knowledge, we're sorry," Lina said and apologized to William.
"No problem, demon king Lina. Please come in, into the palace." William asked them to come inside.
All the palace servants immediately served them all.
William asked the three demon kings to sit down and enjoy the dishes that had been prepared. Likewise, the mysterious man and Tobie received a banquet.
"Can we start a conversation?" Neii wanted to make sure no one had any objections.
"Please, master Neii." William didn't mind.
"We came to agree to the trade alliance, then. Are you interested in establishing political or royal alliances?" Neii informed and offered to William.
"For the first offer, establishing good trade relations, we accepted it. But for the second offer, I have to consult with the existing nobles." William accepted the first and obligingly rejected the second offer.
"No problem Mr William, we understand. Our kingdom is open to you if the Trus kingdom is ready to make a royal alliance." King Ligt understood William's situation.
"….." A teenage woman brought paper and an ink pen.
Both are placed on the table. William took the paper on the table, dipped the nib in ink, and signed the trade alliance.
It took until the afternoon to finalize trade agreements and alliances.
"Thank you for agreeing to our supply request, King Ligt." William finished checking and saw the document that had been completed by King Ligt.
"You're welcome, Mr. William, as long as this kingdom guarantees the safety of traders from our kingdom. With pleasure, the Gerna kingdom will help the Trus kingdom." King Ligt informed.
"…." Tobie whispered something to the masked man.
"Congratulations on the formation of this alliance, and I and Mr. Tobie will withdraw. Because I have other business to come to this kingdom." Said the mysterious masked man.
"And also, we shouldn't be in this royal palace."
"Thanks for the ride, Mr. Tobie." Lina expressed her gratitude.
"You're welcome, Miss Lina."
At the same time, a teenage boy looked at the masked person.
Tobie and the masked man walked out of the palace and headed towards the restaurant.
"Miss Lina, how is my daughter Vina there?" An adult woman asked Lina about her child.
"She's fine, she way of teaching is similar to her ancestors," Lina informed.
"Sorry if my question is rude, who is that man?" William was so curious.
"He a prominent merchant at the moment, it's just that we don't know that person's name," Neii informed.
"However, Lina calls himself a prince, Ligt and I are very curious about what Lina calls him," Neii said again.
"Prince is just like his nickname, he is very cold and difficult to approach, to the point where you have to use something to get close to him," Lina told him the reason.
"Moreover, he also bought all the restaurants owned by Miss Julian's descendants. At a fantastic price to Maya."
"As a result of this, the palace was made unable to sleep for five days to calculate the amount of gold given." King Ligt informed.
