Asu Ruffat once again walked into the office he was already very familiar with. As usual, the court director Scadra was flipping over documents there. The court director was actually a very busy position and needed someone like Scadra to take on it. Not to mention anything else, just looking through the information about the magical communications sent from all over the place every day is busy enough.

"Ashu Rufate," Scadra raised her head from a bunch of documents. "Don't rush to change clothes, I have something to tell you."

"Ah, of course, Mr. Scadra." Ashu Rufate now has a deep understanding of some of Scadra's words. When Scadra said "there is something to tell you", it actually means "there is a task to you."

"The three-year hunting event will start the day after tomorrow," said Scadra. "This is a routine activity. Originally, the hunting lasted for a week, but I used the difficulty of funding as a reason to shorten the hunting time to one day. Although it only lasts one day... but it is also quite dangerous for the queen." He looked at Asu Ruffat. "I want you to accompany her on this day and protect her. You must not make any money! Can it be done?"

"I believe it's no problem." As an escort, he could not refuse this mission.

"Be careful, don't be careless... Some accidents have occurred recently. I am worried that someone will take some measures and will be detrimental to Her Majesty the Queen." Scadra sighed softly. "Someone's long-term plans may fail. I am worried that he will take risks and things will become very troublesome."

Scadra did not explain, but Ashu Rufat knew exactly what he was talking about. It was no secret. Byron was dead, and the original plan of Duke Byron to marry the queen was failed. Although he could have an illegitimate child or a nephew or a relative such as a nephew, he was more than one step ahead of his own son and would definitely be at a disadvantage in future competition. In this case, Byron could take more direct actions.

Of course, it's just "possible".

"Very good... By the way, the Queen said that the last time you taught history, you showed rich knowledge in other aspects. She felt very good, so she thought you could temporarily serve as her tutor for Jana."

"Ah... in this regard..." Of course Ashu Rufate knew that these were pure nonsense.

"I don't think it's right, either." Seeing his hesitant look, Scadra said. "But don't worry, even if it's a temporary replacement, it's only a short time. I should be able to find someone to replace Jana soon."

"What's wrong with Jana?"

"I heard that her family was warned to resign from her position as a tutor in the Queen." Scadra's face twitched. "This is not a wrong choice." He said softly.

"It seems that I can't do it if I don't substitute..." Ashu Rufat murmured softly.

After a while, Ashu Rufate took over the shift. Unlike the bored guards in the past that had to be at the door, this time his task changed slightly, which was to give lectures to the little girl. But rather than saying that this was a lecture by a tutor to students, it was better to say that this was a chat. The little girl seemed to have endless questions in her mind, and Ashu Rufate turned dizzy when she asked.

Standing guard is boring, teaching is troublesome, and Ashu Rufate himself doesn't know which one is better.

"By the way, Ashu Rufate, why did you suddenly get a sword last time?"

"Ah, that's...a magical summoning." Ash Rufate said. "A pure magical skill..."

"Can you teach me magic?" the little girl asked curiously.

"That requires strict exercise, mental exercise... For example, a typical exercise method: meditation. You have to stand or sit for hours, and eliminate all the distractions in your mind, maintain a 'intentional' state, and feel the ubiquitous wind of magic."

"How many hours can't move?"

"Not only can't move, the key is that you can't think of anything. You don't think of anything."

"That's too difficult." said the little girl.

"So many people learn magic, but few people have achieved success. Magicians are the country's precious combat power and must be protected as much as possible. However, ordinary soldiers are just consumables on the battlefield."

"Can you summon your sword again?"

Ashrufate stretched out his hand and a long sword wrapped around the visible energy of the naked eye appeared in his hand. The last time he summoned this sword was not so much a result of deliberate preparation, but rather a subconscious approach. After that time, he completely recalled the method of summoning this weapon, as if he had practiced it countless times, so that he had practiced this technique into an instinct.

"What a beautiful sword..." The little girl looked at the sword and exclaimed. She couldn't tell what metal this magic sword was made of, but it looked rather than a weapon, a precious work of art, and every part looked perfect. Under the influence of magic energy, the sword looked like it was alive, shaking slightly and making a slight whistle.

"What's the name of this sword?" asked the little girl.

Ashu Rufate originally wanted to say "I don't know either", but at the moment he said that a name emerged from the depths of his memory, like a bubble popping out of the water. "The Sword of Withering." He said.

"What a good name." The little girl looked at the sword. The next moment, Ashu Rufate let it disappear from her hands. "It matches this sword very well. To be honest, it doesn't look like...human crafts."

"I don't remember who the sword was originally written by." Ashu Rufate tried hard to find something from his memory, but everything was just like the past, and he couldn't remember anything.

"By the way, Ashu Rufate... Have you heard of it? Duke Byron searched around the city for the murderer who killed his son." The little girl said. Ashu Rufate looked around instinctively - of course, at this moment he was in an absolutely safe place, and no one would hear anything he said.

At this time, he realized that the little girl had become very normal, and she was not as frightened as before. She was much stronger than he expected, at least beyond the level that she should have at this age. Of course, it may also be related to her previous experience. Before she started killing people, she had witnessed more than once bloody massacres.

"You did a good job." Asu Ruffat finally decided to comfort her. The little girl might not be as calm as she seemed. "Then she has a good grasp of the timing and location."

"But..." the little girl asked. "What will happen next?"

"I don't know," Ash Rufate shrugged, "human hearts are the hardest thing to guess. But since he is killing those rogues and rogues, it means he doesn't know what happened. In other words, this matter is completely out of our heads."

He actually remembered Scadra's previous instructions, but he thought it would be better not to mention this matter.

"I know this, but if Duke Byron loses his son, he can't let me marry his son." The little girl tilted her head, as if thinking. "What do you think he will do?"

"You... know this too?" Asu Rufat asked in surprise. He originally thought that the little girl was the only person in the world who didn't know about this.

"Why don't I know? Don't think I'm a child!" the little girl said dissatisfied. "Of course, I will never marry that pervert. I don't regret it at all if I can kill him with my own hands."

"Then, General Rafa…"

"I can't marry his son," the little girl said confidently. "They all hope to marry me, to get married when I turn 15, but they didn't expect that I didn't plan to get married at all."

Ashu Rufat chuckled and did not answer, but his smile was noticed by the little girl.

"What are you laughing at? Don't you believe it? I want to be a queen, not a queen!"

"I believe, I believe it completely." Ashu Rufate replied with a smile. "But this matter... is not something you can count if you say it."

"Why doesn't I say anything? I am the queen, and my engagement is of course arranged by myself. If I am a princess, then maybe I can't resist the orders of my father, but since I am the queen, who can force me? When I become an adult, my first thing is to rule myself..." She saw Ash Rufate's expression at the moment. "Why do you look like you don't believe it?"

"People don't necessarily do what they want to do!" Ashu Rufate picked up a book on the table with his hand and flipped it meaninglessly. "For example, I don't want to be your substitute teacher, but I don't want to be a person?"

"What, this is your duty. If you take this position in itself means..."

"It's very good. If you wait for you to become an adult, you may find that being a queen means that you have to marry someone else's booked."

The little girl blinked and didn't say anything for a long time. "What does it mean, I don't understand." She said in a low voice.

"Being a queen has to face many problems. For example, foreign invasions, financial difficulties, etc. Of course, as a queen, you must solve these problems because this is the natural responsibility of being a queen, right? But it may be difficult to solve the problem. Sometimes the only way is to marry someone else's marriage."

"Ah..." The little girl seemed to be thinking carefully because she didn't speak for a long time. "Ashu Rufate," she suddenly changed the topic. "Is it good if I ask Scadra to arrange a residence for you in the palace? In this way, we can meet every day and be together."

“Ah, why should I always be with me?

"Because you will be very happy if you are together. As for why you are happy, I don't know." The little girl replied seriously.
