"Rody Academy is doing well, but with this, the temple will hate you to the bone." One day, Chris secretly met with Rody again.

"Sooner or later, I will confront the temple anyway. Besides, I enjoy seeing them in a state of frantic frustration," Rody laughed heartily. He wanted to get closer and kiss Chris, but she pushed him away because of the presence of a maid.

"Don't touch me!" Chris had, of course, heard about the Night Prince and the escapades with the Duchess, but that wasn't what angered her the most. She was more upset about the appearance of Annabelle and Pandora. Although Annabelle's involvement was inevitable, Chris was still irked that she had successfully attracted Rody's attention. As for Pandora, although she wasn't as big a threat as Annabelle, her backing from the entire Mire Empire, along with the god-like elves, also unsettled Chris... Rody was originally hers, along with Jill and the female boss, and at most, the succubus sisters. And she felt she occupied a larger part because she was with him every day.

But later, not only did the Queen of the Netherworld join, but there were also several 'daughters' who were willing to serve their 'father' during his bath.

If they had been waiting for Rody for thousands of years, it would have been understandable.

And those Starlight Girls, who knew nothing but wanted to take care of Rody in place of their mother, were not too excessive, so Chris couldn't be angry with them.

But now, the appearance of Annabelle and Pandora truly displeased Chris. They were all in Camaron and could find opportunities to get close to Rody at any time, especially Annabelle, who had successfully attracted Rody. Chris heard that Rody had even kissed her, which made her exceedingly jealous. It took her more than a year to barely get a kiss from Rody, and this woman got close to him in just two days?

So, Chris was very angry.

Rody, however, was delighted. He guessed that if it weren't for this reason, Chris wouldn't have sneaked out to meet him today! He hoped that the more jealous Chris was, the more she would stay by his side.

"Linenessia, Lineliria, I'm going to discuss some trade conditions with Mr. Chris," Rody waved his hand to send the sisters out.

"Young master, let us stay to record for you!" The younger sister felt that Chris was somewhat different from other nobles and was reluctant to leave.

"We need to discuss some secrets…" Rody, of course, was making an excuse.

"Let them stay!" Chris was furious. It turned out that not only the Duchess was stealing kisses, but even the two maids by his side were the little lambs of a certain wolf, which deeply upset her. Pretending to be anything but chose to be a playboy, now surrounded by women, was really hateful. Chris glanced at the Linenessia sisters and suddenly smiled, "Night Prince, I like your personal maids. Give them to me!"

"No! Young master, please, don't!" The two sisters were startled and immediately begged pitifully.

"Chris, why don't you move in with me? I'll agree to whatever you say," Rody whispered through magic, though he outwardly appeared to be deep in thought. He said, "If Mr. Chris is willing to open up Rody City, then I can consider it."

"Who cares!" Chris snorted coldly. "Don't I have personal maids too? If you're so reluctant, I might as well give you two!"

"No, if you send Dora to serve me, you might as well kill me!" Rody had now understood that the little girl, Dora, was actually Chris's personal maid, and the Miss Betsy he had always been curious about was another identity of Chris.

Just thinking about Dora's service still gave Rody shivers.

The Linenessia sisters watched Chris and Rody argue curiously, finding their interaction strange. They were both clearly male, and Chris was the miraculous child Rody's assistant, but now he seemed very familiar with the Night Prince. The more perceptive older sister even suspected Chris might be a woman, and felt there was a deep connection between her and their young master. Despite their constant bickering upon meeting, they could be a couple.

However, they didn’t know who Dora was, maybe a great beauty and a key figure in their argument.

"She'll be here tomorrow, of course, you can refuse," Chris decided abruptly, giving Rody the feeling of being sent to the stake.

"I'll say welcome," Rody said, sweating inwardly but still smiling.

Since Chris had decided, there was no point in arguing further, and it would make her feel better. Although the polite little girl Dora was very obedient, with some training, she could be manageable.

Rody wouldn't tease Chris like a little maid. His wish was to see Chris happy every day, with a beaming smile on her face.

"Tommy and the others will sign up as volunteers. They'll be able to gather some people in the future, otherwise what's the point of running an academy? Opening Rody City is also okay, but the dark specialties must be prioritized. If you don't strengthen your own city, are you just making a wedding dress for others? Fool, one last thing, be careful. Those waiting to skin you will come soon, don’t expect me to save you!" Chris warned huffily.

"You will come," Rody chuckled, holding Chris's hand and not wanting to let go. "I'm glad Mr. Chris is fully opening up Rody City. To celebrate, I think we should have a drink. Ah, right, would you join me for dinner with this prince?"

"Stop pretending, look at their eyes, they're looking at you like you're a fool!" Chris slapped Rody's hand away irritably.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Mr. Chris is a girl, right?" the older sister asked cautiously.

"She’s my wife, ah, fiancée," Rody corrected quickly after Chris stepped on his foot.

"But aren't you the assistant of Rody, the child of the elves, Chris?" the younger sister was a bit confused, wondering how their relationship had changed so quickly from their polite entrance.

"You're smart, aren't you? Take a guess!" Chris suddenly hugged Rody, gave him a quick kiss, then stepped hard on his foot and left.

"She, she, she just kissed you, no, I mean, she just stepped on you, no, I mean, you, you actually, ah what I want to say is, are you the miraculous child? Young master, you are the miraculous child Rody, right? You're not the Night Prince but the miraculous child Rody, I'm so happy..." The sister who believed in the Holy Mother had always found it hard to accept that the man she admired was the Prince of the Abyss, because he wasn't evil, but he never belonged to the light. So, the thought of her young master being the miraculous child Rody made her extremely happy.

"Sister, I told you he's not a bad person," the younger sister didn't care whether he was the Night Prince or the miraculous child, she just knew she liked this man.

"Today's weather is so nice!" Rody felt elated after Chris had just kissed him as a show of defiance.

"Dizzy, it's raining outside..." The two sisters saw the sweet look on Rody's face and realized how much their young master loved the fierce, unreasonable Chris. They exchanged glances, boldly hugged him from both sides, and kissed him on the cheek. Before Rody could react, they ran out hand in hand, delighted.

At that moment, they too felt the weather was nice.

Mitty, the little fairy peeping secretly at the door, was utterly confused. She knew the dark-haired brother was a powerful person, as he had removed the magic restrictions on her. He also had delicious honey, but he was a strange man. Even with the succubus bracelet to guide him, he didn't know how to go to the Seven Clans' land, a hundred times dumber than her.

Is kissing that enjoyable?

Mitty suddenly thought of her mother's kisses on her little face, and seemed to understand a bit. Kissing made people happy, but her longing for her mother surged up, and she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

"Don't cry, little baby, don't cry, brother will give you candy," Rody was more like a nanny than a prince at that moment, and not a very competent one at that.

...

The prosperity of the Camaron Empire and the establishment of the free civilian academy earned praise from countries around the world.

The Peaceful Nation, the largest magic empire in the world, Mire, was the first to make a statement. Her Majesty the Empress of Mire highly praised the actions of William II and the Night Prince. She met with the Speaker and members of the Parliament, agreeing to their near-unanimous new resolution, deciding to aid Camaron. The Mire Empire would send 500 magicians and 3,000 volunteers to Camaron, along with a donation of 500,000, with the Empress personally donating 50,000, to fully support the establishment of Rody Academy.

The only condition of Her Majesty was that she hoped Rody Academy would open a branch in Mire within three years.

William II and the Night Prince were very happy to agree. The emissary of Mire also signed a trade agreement with the Night Prince, welcoming the specialties of the Underworld to be officially sold within the borders of Mire.

Compared to William II, Her Majesty the Empress of Mire was more assertive and prestigious. She disregarded the temple's warnings, which had always been her attitude. The Pope also gave her some respect. In the face of Mire Empire's assertiveness, the temple could only turn a blind eye. They only warned Noren and Galle, the two great empires, and of course, all other countries in the world, prohibiting the sale of dark specialties on the human continent.

The temple attempted to counteract their declining influence with the 'Angel Fountain', but people soon discovered that the effects of the Angel Fountain were far inferior to those of the Dark Magic Spring.

Transforming human forms was not the forte of angels; it was a specialty of the abyss...

Following Mire, the two great empires of Noren and Galle also sent emissaries to express support for Rody Academy. The Noren Empire pledged a donation of one hundred thousand gold coins, to be paid over three years, while the Galle Empire donated fifty thousand gold coins at once. Each sent groups of three hundred and two hundred swordsmen, respectively, to support the teaching at Rody Academy. However, they also indicated that in the coming years, at least fifty thousand commoner children would come to study and requested Camaron to be prepared.

Countries around the world donated funds, with the most significant support being the number of commoner children enrolling for education.

Despite Camaron's appeal to stagger the influx of students, the count of eligible commoner children seeking education still exceeded one hundred thousand.

All these individuals were over fifteen years old. If they didn't receive education and training now, it would be difficult for them to make progress. Faced with an overwhelming number of students, His Majesty William II could only call upon the nation's commoners to volunteer as laborers and expedite the construction of Rody Academy. The Night Prince also revised the curriculum, aiming to reduce the initial three-year learning period to one year, ensuring that the first batch of commoner students were educated swiftly and prepared for various social occupations after graduation.

Sages and magicians from around the world gathered in Camaron's capital, Blaye.

Never before had so many sages been willing to serve as professors at a magic martial arts academy. Twenty sages and great sages came together, not only offering their services for free but also donating much of their collections to Rody Academy as teaching materials or research tools for students.

Over a thousand magicians came forward to serve as teachers.

Additionally, more than two thousand swordsmen and knights took up positions as coaches at Rody Academy. Except for a few, most of them did not charge any fees, selflessly imparting their combat skills and experience to the commoner students.

Rody Academy, at present, did not have a single building.

There were only grasslands and woods, but this did not hinder the sages' teachings or the commoner students' eagerness to learn. They sat on the ground, surrounding the group of teachers in the center, reminiscent of the legendary 'Sage's Academy', where nothing existed but teaching and learning. Anyone who saw the commoner children's thirst for knowledge would be moved to tears.

Rows of commoner children practiced under the command of the swordsmanship coaches.

In their hands, there were no swords, spears, or armor; only branches. Yet, this did not impede their swordsmanship learning or their determination to become stronger.

Magic journalists captured these scenes and broadcast them repeatedly to people all over the world.

Everyone watched with tears in their eyes, not tears of sorrow, but of joy and delight. Hope and miracles were finally emerging in the world... Neither the scorching sun nor the pouring rain could dampen people's eagerness to learn, nor could it obscure the light of their hope. After many years of anticipation, a tuition-free magic martial arts academy had finally been established.

On the construction site, thousands of poor and common folk worked tirelessly.

They were weary and exhausted, yet they worked cheerfully, with laughter frequently erupting on site. Those who volunteered to participate in the construction were poor people who had not even discussed wages with the Night Prince. Although the Night Prince's servants had recorded their working days and prepared adequate wages, they were unaware of this.

The Night Prince was eager to mingle among the people, but each time he appeared, he was surrounded by crowds.

If he attempted to pick up a hoe to help, thousands would dissuade him from the labor.

People were happy to see him, but also worried about his safety, as various rumors were greatly detrimental to the Night Prince. They preferred him to stay in the city, protected by the royal guards, safe from the attacks of dishonorable assassins. They would rather cheer for him on the streets than see him endangered by ill-intentioned villains during his site visits.

His safety was of utmost importance.

Even if the Night Prince did not personally inspect and direct the construction of Rody Academy, people were committed to fulfilling his objectives flawlessly.

The common people wholeheartedly supported Rody Academy, though few donated money, mostly offering goods instead. Some donated half a bag of flour from their homes for the students' meals, others gave clothing to ensure the students stayed warm, and some supporters sent a family member to help build the academy.

Regarding Rody City, the city of evil, although there was still some resistance to the image of the Night Prince, appreciation was expressed for Rody Academy.

More than a hundred elite teams, under the leadership of Tommy and Keli, came to train the commoner children, teaching them warfare experiences and jungle survival skills. With the elite teams' participation, the commoner students who admired them were even more spirited and motivated.

"I find the temple's protest utterly baffling. What's wrong with erecting a giant statue of the miraculous child Rody in the center of Camaron city? People need an idol, they need hope. Do they still think they haven't destroyed our hopes enough? Apart from urging us to donate and preaching about light and justice, what else can the temple offer us? I, of course, believe in the greatness of the God of Light, even without their constant repetition. But how many truly great and kind people are there in the grand and majestic temple? At the very least, we haven't seen them donate a single coin, yet they always have ‘compassion for all, treating all beings as their children’ on their lips..."

Mike Bourg-Anton, a renowned magic journalist from Camaron, published an article criticizing the temple, the first of its kind in the world.

Although the language and content were somewhat reserved and not too radical, people still cheered for his courage.
