Professor Phil said helplessly, "If you're the only one in the class with a perfect score, others will be jealous of you."

"Then let them be jealous. Why should I care about the feelings of such lowly people?"

"Axina, this is not Yate," Professor Phil said diplomatically.

She was just a princess of the Yate Kingdom, and the King of Yate didn't rule the entire Western Continent. Citizens of other countries wouldn't fear her power.

Axina understood his implication, but she still sneered, "Even if this isn't Yate, it would still be child's play for me to finish them off."

Professor Phil felt a headache coming on, "Don't say such things so casually. You know that internal conflicts are forbidden at Siria Magic Academy."

"Uncle, one must know how to be flexible. Who said I was going to finish them off inside the academy?"

"Axina, the King sent you here precisely because he doesn't like you killing people. He hopes you'll learn to be merciful and loving."

"Huh, he doesn't like me killing people? More like he doesn't like me killing his pregnant mistresses," Axina said cruelly. "Who told those bitches to dream of becoming queen? I just dug out the little bastards from their bellies and fed them to the dogs, and they wanted to fight me to the death."

"I didn't want to kill them originally, but they kept throwing themselves onto my sword."

Professor Phil felt chilled to the bone hearing this, "Axina! How can you be so cruel? Those were real human lives!"

"Shut up, uncle," Axina's eyes were cold as ice. "If it weren't for mother and me firmly guarding our position in the palace, do you think you'd still have everything you have now?"

"Without our cruelty, the Phil family would have been stripped of their titles long ago. Could you still be comfortably enjoying your noble status?"

"Don't stand here preaching to me. You've been comfortable for so long that you really think you're clean? I didn't see you hesitate when framing Queen Isis back then."

Professor Phil fell silent. After a long while, he said, "That was done by father and sister. I only helped deliver a message."

Axina said sarcastically, "If you could help them deliver messages back then, why can't you help me now?"

"I don't need you to do anything, just turn a blind eye. Don't worry, I don't have so much free time to pinch those little grasshoppers. I'll only crush the biggest one."

"You want to kill Luo Wei?" Professor Phil felt anxious inside. "But her identity is still uncertain. She might not be Queen Isis's daughter. What if we kill the wrong person—"

"Better to kill the wrong person than let the right one escape," Axina said coldly. "I tested her the night before last. That little bitch thought I had mistaken her for someone else and was so happy she walked right into the trap."

"Do you know what this means?"

Professor Phil was puzzled, "What does it mean?"

"It means that her current identity is just a commoner pretending to be a noble. Even if we kill her, it won't cause any serious consequences."

"What do you plan to do?"

"I heard there are many thugs in the city. They should like that seductive whore face of hers."

Professor Phil felt this was inappropriate, "The thugs don't know she's a commoner. They probably wouldn't dare to... touch her."

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Uncle, you're so stupid," Axina curled her lips. "We can just have someone pretend, can't we? My guards will be back soon."

Fake thugs raping and killing a fake noble—this play should be much more interesting than torturing those weeping pregnant women.

"Luo Wei," a dark storm brewed in Axina's deep blue eyes. "I gave you a chance to leave before, but now you'll never be able to leave Siria."

You can only die here.

Who told you to be so excellent?

If you were stupid, even if you knew your identity, you wouldn't be a threat to me. I could let you leave after I've had my fun.

But you just had to learn everything, be good at everything. If those bastard ministers in the capital, who fantasize every day about a perfect heir appearing, found out about you, how could mother and I survive?

On the other side, after finally shaking off the enthusiastic noble classmates and promising to treat them to a meal next time, Luo Wei fled from the school.

Tom's carriage was waiting at the school gate, and not far from the carriage, behind a tree, stood Troy in all black.

Luo Wei sat in the carriage feeling completely safe, and was taken back to the small courtyard by Tom.

The moment she got off the carriage, a sour liquid surged up in her stomach, which she forcibly swallowed back down.

Riding in a carriage indeed freed her feet, but it tormented her poor stomach.

She wondered how those nobles could endure it, not feeling carsick at all.

Luo Wei pinched the pressure point between her thumb and index finger for quite a while before the dizzy feeling subsided.

"Master, shall I serve the meal now?" Bella came running over to ask.

"Yes, please."

She was hungry, not having eaten breakfast.

Bella brought to the table the bread and small cakes she had just learned to make yesterday, and as instructed by Luo Wei, also prepared a tomato beef brisket soup and a vegetable corn salad.

"Are the others not here?"

"Miss Rossetti and the two knight gentlemen went out to look at houses. They won't be back for lunch."

Speaking of them, Bella felt a bit resentful.

Before leaving, the two knights had raided the kitchen, taking away more than half of the bread she had baked.

Although they paid a lot of money, they almost ate the portion she ha

They have money, why can't they just buy food outside? Bella grumbled inwardly.

Luo Wei took a sip of the beef brisket soup, "Bella, go see if Troy is still outside. If he is, invite him in for a meal."

With Lilith and the others not here today, Troy should not feel constrained.

"Ah, but the swordsman has already eaten," Bella counted on her fingers. "Last night he snuck in and ate eight loaves of bread and seventeen cakes. This morning he jumped in through the back window and ate two pounds of beef, eight braised eggs, and five loaves of bread."

She finished counting and her shoulders slumped, "Master, I'm so tired. I made bread all night last night, and it's not even enough for one of their meals."

Luo Wei: "..."

Is Troy a pig? How can he eat so much?

Doesn't he worry about bursting from eating so much!

Doesn't he know how expensive meat, eggs, and milk are? Eating and drinking wildly here on just one gold coin a day, what a glutton!

Seeing the dark circles under Bella's eyes, Luo Wei said sympathetically, "Bella, don't stay up late making bread anymore. From now on, you'll be the housekeeper here. Your salary will be doubled to one silver coin a day."

"Go hire two more maids, ones who are diligent and kind-hearted."

Bella's face fell, "I understand, master."

Luo Wei saw her expression and asked curiously, "Why aren't you happy?"

"I am happy, so touched I could cry," Bella wiped her eyes. She felt that her master was not far from bankruptcy.

Is she really that moved? Luo Wei was a bit shocked.

"Next time Troy goes to the kitchen, tell him that from now on, his food expenses will be deducted from his salary."

"Yes, master!" Bella immediately cheered up. The master finally knew how to save money!

After finishing her meal, Luo Wei returned to her room and began today's divination.

She had a question in her heart that she had wanted to ask for a long time, and she hoped to get an answer today.

Entering her mental world, Luo Wei looked at the star chart.

"Can I still return to my original world?"
