Chapter 122: A New Outlook

Well, Serveyia’s single sentence left Liuli speechless.

To be honest, she had thought Serveyia’s plan meant visiting every single race.

Instead, she was told she only needed to visit the races that had invited her.

However, if that were the case, how could it be considered spreading peace?

“But, Serveyia, didn’t you say we were going to visit different races to connect them all? If we don’t visit every race, how can we complete that connection?”

“Little Fox, there is one thing you haven’t realized. Those races that didn’t take the initiative to invite you are sending a message from the very beginning: they aren’t interested in peace talks. If you don’t understand that and insist on visiting them anyway, it will only put your safety at risk.”

“Is it really that serious?”

“Of course, Little Fox. Not to mention you currently have no way to protect yourself. No matter what, we won’t take you to a dangerous place.”

“In other words, once I have enough power to protect myself, you’ll take me to those dangerous places, Serveyia?”

“Why do I get the feeling you’re so eager to go to those dangerous places, Little Fox?”

“It’s not that I want to go, I’m just curious.”

Liuli looked at Serveyia, speaking with some uncertainty, “I just feel like fighting and killing isn’t good. If possible, I’d still like to avoid conflict as much as possible…”

“If conflict were really that easy to resolve, people wouldn’t have been fighting for so long. Little Fox, some things aren’t achievable just because you want them to be.”

“I suppose…”

To Liuli, the official visit was essentially a trip abroad on public funds.

Although she had certain official duties, she figured it wouldn’t be too much trouble.

Naturally, she wanted to see as many places as possible.

“So, do we need to start preparing now?”

“Not much preparation is needed, at least not for the Elf Race. With Principal Kaili around, you can treat the Elf Race as your second home.”

“Does Principal Kaili really have that much influence among the Elf Race?”

“Being the Principal of Saint Laia is a point of pride for any race. Not to mention, Principal Kaili herself is an outstanding Mage. She is someone highly respected for both her reputation and her strength.”

“Well, I should probably still learn some etiquette and things like that, right?”

“A specialized teacher will come to teach you when the time comes. There’s no use in rushing now, Little Fox. Besides, since when did you become so fond of learning etiquette?”

“Uh…”

How should she put it?

Liuli had never actually liked learning etiquette, but the act of learning it made her think of the upcoming tour.

‘Actually, I don’t really like it, but if it’s for the upcoming visit, I might not mind as much…’

“Is that so? It seems I’ve found a trick to keep you full of energy, Little Fox.”

Serveyia’s words made Liuli blush.

What did she mean by a ‘trick to keep her full of energy’?

It sounded far too much like flirting.

“What do you mean by full of energy? Serveyia, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?”

“Why should I be embarrassed? As long as I give you a few foreseeable benefits, you’ll be motivated to complete your tasks. No matter how you look at it, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

Well, Liuli didn’t know if it was a good thing, but she was certain that Serveyia was definitely taking this opportunity to tease her.

Absolutely!

However, now that her next steps were clear, trying to learn new things to become a better Princess didn’t seem like a bad idea.

“So, will Lien be the one teaching me etiquette this time as well?”

Liuli felt a strange sense of curiosity toward Lien.

Someone who could serve as Serveyia’s Maid certainly couldn’t be an ordinary servant.

Not to mention, Lien had specifically taught her etiquette before opening the Maid Café.

Being able to master so much etiquette meant she could have been an excellent Young Lady in a normal household.

Even if she couldn’t become a true Young Lady due to bloodline reasons, she would certainly be highly sought after in the marriage market.

Yet, such an outstanding person served only as Serveyia’s Maid, which surprised Liuli.

“No, Lien isn’t very familiar with the etiquette of the Elf Race, so it’s necessary to find someone else to teach you.”

“A different person?”

To be honest, Liuli was a bit scared.

What if the new teacher was incredibly strict?

She didn’t have much resilience; if she were scolded harshly, she might actually burst into tears.

“Even with Principal Kaili, an official visit is a very serious matter. If possible, you should study your etiquette well. It would save others from thinking our Saint Laia Academy lacks manners.”

“So, who will be teaching me this time?”

Although it would likely be someone she didn’t know, knowing the name in advance would at least give her some peace of mind.

“It will probably be someone Principal Kaili found, but I’m not sure myself.”

Serveyia shook her head.

“But you don’t need to be too nervous, Little Fox. Considering your status as a Princess, they probably won’t make things too difficult for you.”

‘I hope that’s true.’

After all, learning etiquette was much harder than learning Magic.

Though, the most important factor was that her interest simply didn’t lie there.

Come to think of it, the study of etiquette always felt forced from the start.

When would she ever be able to learn it willingly?

“Don’t think too much about it for now. Your top priority is to learn enough Magic so you can better protect yourself.”

As expected, Teacher Lin Ya launched a comprehensive training program for Liuli over the following period.

Although the test results showed she excelled at [Auxiliary Magic], Teacher Lin Ya didn’t let her off the hook regarding other spells.

Some of the most basic attack spells were included in the lesson plan.

However, compared to [Auxiliary Magic], the names of the attack spells sounded a bit plain—things like [Fireball] and [Thunderbolt].

But these spells, which sounded simple and direct, were not easy to learn.

There were too many variables in attack Magic.

One had to consider the target, the power, and the timing of the release.

It was completely different from the [Auxiliary Magic] she usually used, making her learning process full of hardships.
