The music that flowed elegantly in the room had gradually stopped.
Rebecca took a deep breath and felt that she had completely calmed down.
At this moment, she was calm and her mind was completely soothed. She was going to tell her aunt that she had just blown up the largest set of crystal resonators in the Institute of Arcanotech.
"Ugh …"
Rebecca, who had just stood up, could not help but rub her head again. She felt a headache coming on.
But she did not sit down again (although she wanted to) because she had noticed that strangers had entered the lounge, which was theoretically only for the use of the internal staff of the institute.
Fendill saw the girl who played the piano stand up. She first looked calm and confident, then suddenly rubbed her forehead in distress. Her facial expression changed a few times in five seconds. Fendill could not help but be curious. But his good upbringing prevented him from speaking rashly. Instead, he stood quietly where he was.
Then he saw the princess turn around from the piano and looked at the three of them curiously. She then asked in a crisp and energetic voice, "Who are you?"
Fendill immediately reacted and bowed with a polite smile. "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness. Please forgive us for intruding …"
In front of the royal family, Fendill and Erawin did not continue to hide their identities. They frankly said their surnames, and this strange way of meeting was quite interesting to the two dukedom heirs. There was no cumbersome introduction process, no attendants and etiquette officers loudly announcing their titles and honorary titles. There was not even a butler who was responsible for handing in documents. They just walked in, said their names, and greeted the princess of the Empire …
Everything was simple and plain like … ordinary people.
This was a very normal visit, but in the eyes of the two young nobles, it was a rather novel experience.
Rebecca did not think so much. She was just surprised for a moment. Then she looked up and down at the three strangers in front of her. In this place, no one would be so whimsical as to pretend to be the heirs of the Duke of the North and the West, right?
"I heard that you're coming. Aunty told me when we were having dinner two days ago." She scratched her head. Her action, which could be described as "rude" in the aristocratic etiquette, left Fendier and Erawen a little stunned. The two young nobles' impression of her playing the piano quickly faded away. "But I've never heard of Firm …"
Hearing his name being mentioned, Firm, who had been nervous since just now, suddenly woke up. The 'solemn process of meeting a member of the royal family' that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind was now useless. Things had developed beyond his imagination. He could only let his muddled brain drive his body to respond. After a somewhat clumsy bow, he picked up the box he brought.
"Rebecca … Your Highness, I'm Firm from Barron. I … I brought something. Mr. Codd wrote a letter of recommendation for me. He said that you might be interested in my idea. It's here … Please wait a moment, it needs to be assembled …"
Firm's words were a little incoherent and stuttering, but Rebecca was not impatient at all. She had noticed that there were some magical components in the box. Although they were very common, even very crude and backward in shape, they still aroused her interest.
Firm began to assemble the components quickly. It seemed that it would take some time. Erawen did not want the atmosphere to cool down, so he took the initiative to break the silence. "Your Highness, it may be a little presumptuous, but your performance just now was very good. I was almost mesmerized … I'm afraid that even the most outstanding court musician could not do that."
Appropriate compliments to women, taking the initiative to adjust the atmosphere, and using topics such as music and art to communicate with the more superior nobles were all skills that nobles had to master. It could even be said that it was a kind of responsibility. Erawen remembered his role here. He hoped to build a good relationship with the princess in front of him. Even if he could not build a friendship, he wanted to leave a good impression.
Rebecca did not think so much. She just looked at Firm and said casually, "Ah, I learned the skills of playing the piano from my teacher, and so did the fighting skills. In fact, I don't know if I played well. I just used it to adjust my mood. After all, I just blew up something … "
Erawen, "Ah …?"
Rebecca did not care about the slightly stunned expression on Firm's face. She just continued casually (after all, Firm had taken the initiative to speak, and it was basic courtesy to answer questions and answers). "Speaking of which, you are all here to study, right? To Imperial College? "
"Yes." Fendill nodded and said with a smile. "Aunt Victoria thinks that I should learn something that I can't learn in the castle. She gave me the task of entering Imperial College as an ordinary student. Aunt Victoria also mentioned you. She said that you are a very special and outstanding princess, and that I should learn more from you. "
"My father also said something similar." Erawen adjusted his expression and said with a smile. "You are so young, but you are already a 'master' in the field of magical engineering. This is really admirable. I hope that I can learn something from you."
Obviously, after the advent of the magical engineering industry, Fendill and Erawen, a pair of "other people's children" friends, now welcomed a common "other people's child".
Rebecca did not think much of it. She just looked at Fendill and Erawen and scratched her chin. "Learn from me … It's not a problem. But how is your foundation?"
"Foundation?" The two dukedoms were stunned at the same time. They did not seem to understand what Rebecca meant.
"It's the basic subjects. Are you good in mathematics?"
"Not bad." Although Fendill did not know why this polite topic suddenly became so serious, she still replied in a reserved manner. "I'm good at Frost spells. Of course, I've mastered the basic formation and calculation skills …"
Erawen followed up. "I'm good at arcane magic. I also know a little about mathematics."
"Not bad, but not enough. I'll give you some introductory papers later. But I don't think you can keep up with the current rune course," Rebecca said as she watched Firm put the crystal on the rune substrate. "Have you ever learned about rune logic?"
"This … I've only heard about it. I've never actually learned about it."
"You can't keep up with this either …" Rebecca scratched her head. "Then do you know mechanical principles and mechanics?"
"This …" Fendill's expression gradually became awkward. "Do we still need to learn these?"
"Of course you need to learn! If you don't know mechanical principles and mechanics, you won't be able to keep up with my class! " Rebecca's eyes widened. "You're lacking a lot in the basic subjects. I thought you had at least taken some tutoring before coming here … Then you should at least know a little about basic physics, right?"
Fendill and Erawen were at a loss at the same time.
Rebecca understood everything as soon as she saw their expressions. She put her hands on her waist and could not help but sigh. "If you can't even do this subject … then can you take a beating?"
Fendill and Erawen: "…?"
The topic came to an impasse, and the atmosphere began to become strange. But just before this topic full of misunderstandings, stubbornness, euphemisms and straightforwardness continued, Firm finally finished his preparation work. "I'm done, Your Highness. Please take a look …"
Rebecca instantly dropped the topic of "forming a study group" and looked curiously at the holographic image that Firm had made.
As the short film played, Firm also explained what the "magic movie" he had created was, the source of his inspiration, and the help and evaluation of the great merchant Coade.
Rebecca stared at the holographic image for a few minutes. When she finally understood Firm's idea, she opened her mouth. "… Wow."
"Your Highness, do you think …"
"This thing is nothing in terms of magical technology, but I'm sure my ancestor will definitely be interested in it!" Rebecca raised her head abruptly and said to Firm excitedly, "That's an interesting idea!"
"Ancestor …" Firm was startled by Rebecca's enthusiasm. It took him a while to realize what she meant by ancestor. "You mean, His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Pack up … Hey, don't use this set of parts. Just take this crystal. I'll give you the latest magic network terminal." Rebecca had been completely ignited by the new thing. Before the three young people in front of her could react, she had already begun to prepare. "And a magnifying unit … You don't have a project book or something like that? That's right, the other side hasn't been formalized yet … Then I'll just take these with me. Come on, I'll take you to see my ancestor. Oh, this thing is very good! "
…
"They went to the Institute of Magical Technology?"
After returning to Cecil Palace, Gwen soon received the latest news from the Military Intelligence Bureau and learned the latest movements of the two young people.
After all, they were the heirs of the two dukes in the North and the West. He had always asked Amber's men to keep an eye on them.
Amber nodded. "A young man named Firm went with them. Firm seemed to have brought something interesting. The president of the Calor Business Association personally wrote a letter of recommendation. The three of them went directly to Rebecca."
"So it was Rebecca who 'received' them first." Gwen could not help but want to laugh. "I don't know if that girl will make trouble."
"I thought you would be worried … What was that saying again?" Amber said as she recalled the dirty words Gwen had instilled in her when he was bored. "Oh yes, you're worried that a foreign pig will eat your cabbage. After all, they are all young people, right?"
"… I'm more worried that my cabbage will eat someone else's pig." Gwen's mouth twitched. "The young man named Firm is fine, but I'm afraid that Fendill and Erawen will be polite to Rebecca according to aristocratic etiquette. You know, which one of Rebecca's friends is not well-versed in both the pen and the sword? And now she has the title of princess … I should educate her in advance. "
Amber was speechless.
While they were talking, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, abruptly interrupting the conversation between Amber and Gwen.
The footsteps were slightly messy, as if there was more than one person.
One of them was Rebecca.
At that time, Gwen had almost finished the draft of the apology letter to Victoria and Bai Dewen.
The next moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open by the excited Rebecca. Gwen looked up and saw a bright smile on her face. "Ancestor! I have something good to show you! "
"Something good?"
Gwen asked curiously. Then he saw three figures appear behind Rebecca.
They were three young people. One had silver hair, tall, and had a northern-style face; one had short brown hair and was shorter; and the last one had short blond hair and was well-proportioned.
The three looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that they were brought here by Rebecca in a hurry and did not have time to mentally prepare themselves. The blond young man looked particularly nervous and reserved.
The three of them did not seem to be injured.
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief. He put down the draft of the apology letter and looked at Rebecca. "At least remember to knock."
Rebecca exclaimed softly. Then she closed the door under the blank gaze of the three young people and knocked on the door. "Ancestor, Ancestor, I'm knocking!"
"Come in." Gwen's tone was full of helplessness.
"Ancestor!" Rebecca excitedly pushed the door open and came in front of Gwen. At the same time, her other hand was holding the box in the blond young man's hand. "Let me show you something very interesting!"
