Sia wanted to continue arguing, but in the next second, she saw a big snake with black scales and a touch of vermilion on its head suddenly appearing at her feet.
It was hissing with its forked tongue, staring at her.
A shrill scream rang out in the magnificent hall.
The big snake wriggled its body, which was as thick as a human leg, climbed along the tables and chairs all the way, and half of its body stood upright.
Seeing its crimson snake pupils narrowing dangerously, Sia's heart almost stopped beating.
She collapsed in a faint.
She was terribly afraid of snakes!
The incident occurred so suddenly that Eli quickly drew his sword and was about to slash at the big snake—
At the critical moment, Eli's sword that was about to fall was blocked by an ice wall and stopped in mid-air.
"Lancaster! Keep your pet in check..." Gwen's eyes were burning with a sharp light as she said in a deep voice.
She recognized this big snake.
It was the tyrant's pet, "Big Snake" Lucifer.
Although its size was already terrifyingly large now, it was still in its infancy.
When it grew up, it would be more than two people tall.
On the battlefield, it could open its big mouth and bite countless soldiers to death.
"Finally, it's quiet."
Lancaster was unperturbed.
With a flick of his finger, the big snake slowly swam towards Gwen.
Its cold scales brushed against her arm.
Then, she felt a hand gently placed on her shoulder, accidentally rubbing against her neck, causing a ticklish sensation.
The table was so big.
Did he have to make Lucifer crawl over her?
Gwen bit her lower lip gently.
In the end, she still didn't say anything and forced herself to stay calm.
"Be good." Lancaster led the snake onto himself.
Lucifer affectionately wrapped around his arm.
Its black and red body color matched the uniform of the knight corps quite well.
Keeping such a pet and carrying it around with him, it was no wonder he was called a tyrant…
"Is this how you tolerate her offense?"
Lancaster whispered to Gwen.
He didn't even glance at the fainted Sia.
"Meryl, take Miss Carlyle to be treated immediately."
After giving the order, Gwen glanced at Lancaster and pulled him by the cuff and left the hall.
"What are you doing?"
Gwen turned around and stared at Lancaster expressionlessly.
"Don't you think it was too noisy?"
Lancaster leaned lazily against the wall.
"Of course I thought it was noisy, but…"
Gwen was at a loss.
"She's the young lady of the Carlyle family after all."
Didn't he think that what he did was a bit inappropriate at all?
Gwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She had witnessed Lancaster's moodiness before, but she didn't expect that he would compete with Sia, a half-grown child.
Although, just based on Sia's disrespectful remarks, even if she punished her severely, the Carlyle family wouldn't dare to have any objections.
But she just wasn't used to such a rough way of handling things.
Lancaster and Lucifer both turned their heads to stare at her at the same time.
At the same time, Lancaster and Lucifer both turned their heads to stare at her.
The expressions of the man and the snake were surprisingly consistent, both wearing an arrogant look as if to say, "I just scared her. What can you do about it?"
Moreover, Lucifer even proudly raised its head.
Well, the pet really took after its owner.
Lucifer: I'm so scary and awesome (`h′)
"Have you ever thought that I'm also afraid of snakes?"
Gwen took a few steps back, rarely showing a hint of panic.
The calmness she showed just now was only because if she showed the slightest panic, Eli would have killed Lucifer on the spot.
Lancaster and Lucifer looked at each other.
"Get down."
Who would have thought that after receiving its master's strict order, this black and red big snake actually lowered its head pitifully, and then quickly crawled away in a huff, just like a child throwing a tantrum.
This snake was quite intelligent.
Gwen still had a lingering fear in her heart as she looked at the snake's trail left on the velvet carpet.
"Let's go. I have something to discuss with you."
Lancaster took her hand without asking.
"But I still need to say goodbye to the Marquis…"
Without looking back, Lancaster just pulled her towards the room.
"He's a grown man. You don't need to worry about him."
Forget it… Gwen compromised.
She hoped that Eli and Meryl could handle things over there well.
After all, this guy simply wouldn't listen to her!
-------------------------------------
"You want me to teach you magic?"
Lancaster nodded and frowned.
"Wasn't I clear enough?"
Gwen waved her hand.
"Well… not really."
She just wanted to say that what qualifications did she have to teach Lancaster magic?
In her past life, Lancaster's magic teacher was Katina, the most powerful witch in the Kingdom of Salir and one of the greatest "The Three Holy Mages" in the world.
Katina was not only extremely powerful but also had eternal beauty.
Rumor had it that there was an ambiguous relationship between her and Lancaster, which provided a lot of help for Lancaster's conquest of the world.
And she considered herself just an "A"-level ice mage who had learned some magic in the noble academy.
Although her level was far ahead among her peers, compared to Katina… there was a huge gap between them, like the difference between heaven and earth.
However, it was true that someone needed to teach Lancaster magic.
Since she had stopped Lancaster, who was about to flee to Salir, she had to provide him with better conditions than those in Salir.
If they returned to the capital, she would be seventy percent sure that she could control Lancaster, but the situation was different now.
They were still not far from the border between Linsey and Salir.
With a slight negligence, no one could guarantee that Lancaster wouldn't defect to Salir again.
So, she could only try her best to meet Lancaster's requirements and stabilize him for the time being.
It seemed that she could only bite the bullet and do it.
The next day.
Gwen took out the highest-level magic textbook from the storage magic device, flipped to the first page, and decided to start with the theory of magic.
Just as she was about to start talking about "the essence of magic," Lancaster reached out and closed the book with its densely packed small words.
"I don't want to learn theory. I want practical combat."
He said it firmly.
Gwen's heart trembled, and she nervously looked up at him.
Was Lancaster going to beat her up in the name of practical combat?
She knew that for now, Lancaster's magic was not as powerful as hers, but when it came to physical skills, he was extremely strong.
Once he got close to her, she would only be beaten.
The two-handed sword "Stormbringer" passed down in the Garcia family was still on Lancaster's back.
That legendary sword had claimed countless lives since the time of Emperor Norman.
Lancaster noticed the worry in her eyes and slightly curved the corners of his lips.
He wondered why she had been so confident just now, but now she seemed so wilted when facing him.
She always seemed to be afraid of him.
Lancaster couldn't figure it out.
…Of course she was afraid.
Gwen still remembered the intense stinging pain of her skin being burned by the raging fire.
Her beautiful and dazzling golden hair had been burned and curled up, turning black in the fire.
Before losing consciousness, through the surging heat waves of the fire, the last thing she saw… was these emerald green eyes in front of her.
Looking down from above.
Cold.
Without a trace of emotion.
It was as if she was just a speck of dust on the ground.
After disappearing, it wouldn't have the slightest impact on this world.
What the heck!
After being reborn, she was clearly the one in the dominant position.
Why did she always have to indulge this tyrant and let him boss her around?
She was the teacher, and Lancaster was the student.
The student should listen to the teacher.
Where did all these demands come from?
"No way."
She slapped the textbook in front of Lancaster.
"I don't even know your magic level yet. Even for practical combat, theory is the foundation. Don't expect to reach the sky in one step."
Her pink and white cheeks puffed up with anger.
"I'm the teacher, and you have to listen to me!"
"Okay."
Suddenly, Lancaster moved closer to her side.
With one hand, he obediently opened the book, looked up at her, and smiled with a charming curve of his lips.
"Continue, teacher?"
Whether it was on purpose or not, this guy deliberately dragged out the tone of the word "teacher" especially long, with the ending tone rising, carrying quite an ambiguous meaning.
He was so close that his hot breath blew on the tip of Gwen's ear.
Gwen was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Lancaster, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Don't get distracted. Concentrate on reading the book."
