79- The shy princess

“How could they do something like this after you helped the academy?” Ner clenched her fists angrily when she heard about the fine the council had imposed on Alexander

Alexander lowered his head sadly and did not speak

Ner hesitated for a moment. “Do you want me to help you raise money?”

Alexander shook his head in response. “No, I can't ask you to do such a thing.”

"but!-"

Alexander interrupted her by raising his palm. “This is my own problem, and I will solve it myself. You should focus on training.”

Ner nodded sadly

She wanted to help Alexander get out of his predicament

She couldn't believe that the Academy Council would do something as cruel as forcing Alexander to pay for the damages, even though he did all this for the sake of the Academy.

If they had done their job correctly, Alexander would not have had to create this chaos to cover up their negligence and failure

She began to prejudge the instructors and the academy principal. Her evaluation of them dropped to rock bottom

Ner said in a low voice. "I think I can convince Mr. Biko to help you forgive these debts."

" no." Alexander flatly refused

He would be more than happy to receive help from Ner

But he knows very well that the vile Biko will definitely intervene and stop Ner

There is no need to do this at all

A feeling of guilt rose in Ner's mind

Alexander's insistence on taking charge himself even though he was not the culprit made her even more impressed with his character

Ner stood up from her seat. “It's getting late, I have to go.”

Ner left after putting on her mask and glasses

Alexander sighed and went to sleep

------------------------

" I refuse."

Alexander sat in front of Eric

Alexander went to Eric's office early to find out what he wanted from him

He prayed that he would not get involved in one of this crazy man's plans

He soon learned why Eric had called him.

Eric asked him to help a student who was having difficulty talking to strangers

Eric said that this would be a rare opportunity for them to get to know each other and form a friendship

Alexander refused immediately

I am a busy man collecting money to pay my debts

And I have to train in my free time

Where will I have the free time to play with an autistic student?

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

" Why?." There was a sad expression on Eric's face. "You did not see that student's face. She was very sad. She reminded me of you when you came to ask for my help."

Yes, I remember this

It is not impossible to say that it was one of the gravest mistakes made by Alexander

Alexander was firm in his position. “I'm busy training and I have to find a job to earn money. I'm sorry but I can't help.”

Eric thought for a moment before opening his mouth. “I think I can help you find a job at the hospital. It will fit in with you being a student here.”

Alexander became interested upon hearing Eric's words.

He needs to make money

The only way to do that in the academy is by finding a job

The academy provides part-time work for students

But rarely did anyone apply for these jobs because students were busy studying and training

Alexander heard that the hospital pays staff and temporary workers generously

" Alright." Alexander answered after some hesitation

“Awesome.” Eric’s eyes lit up. “Now I will tell you the identity of that student who asked me for help. But remember, no one else should know about it.”

" I understand." Alexander nodded boredly

“The person who asked for my help is Apprentice Diana.” Eric said excitedly

Alexander showed no reaction

Eric raised an eyebrow. “Is it possible that you don’t know her?”

Is she an idol or something?

Alexander remained silent

Eric continued after seeing Alexander silent. “I'm talking about Princess Diana.”

Princess Diana?

Who is she?

Alexander's face froze when he remembered the identity of the owner of this name

Diana was Layla's younger sister

Does the little princess suffer from social disorders?

Eric was satisfied by Alexander's shocked reaction. “That's right, she's the one we'll be helping to overcome her shyness toward strangers.”

Alexander swallowed his saliva

He thought he would help an ordinary student

He didn't expect the princess to engage in this

Everyone knew that Diana was the emperor's spoiled daughter

Despite her beauty and elegance, no young man dared to approach her

Because they have to face the wrath of the Emperor personally if they want to win the beauty

Alexander was sweating at the thought of this

Can I withdraw from this?

I'm still young and I don't want to be executed for such a trivial thing

But when he thought about it deeply, some plans began to appear in his mind

What if I could use this opportunity to get some money from this princess?

In Alexander's eyes, the amount of fifty thousand coins was enormous

While Diana was getting many times that amount in pocket money

This is your chance, Alexander

Alexander smiled and said straightly. “I cannot stand idly by while one of my colleagues has a problem. I will participate in this.”

Eric jumped up from his seat and pointed his finger at Alexander happily. “This is the spirit.”

Alexander got up and started walking without delay. "I'll go think of a plan to help the princess."

"Don't worry, I've already prepared a plan." Eric smiled subtly

Alexander's steps stopped and he looked worriedly at Eric

Why did he have a bad feeling?

Eric took out an envelope from his desk drawer and handed it to Alexander

" this?." Alexander examined the envelope questioningly

"You will give this letter to the princess."

Alexander still could not understand the point of this message

But delivering a letter to a girl he had never met before seemed a little strange

If a stranger came and handed Alexander an envelope suddenly and for no reason, he would immediately suspect him

This envelope must contain a bullet and a threatening message...this is the first thought that will come to his mind

Eric clasped his hands and said solemnly. “I think you know that there are a lot of bad rumors spreading about you among the students.”

"..." And who do you think is the reason for all this?

Alexander pursed his lips so as not to scream at Eric

Well...actually I was partly to blame for what happened, but Eric also bears some blame as the instigator of what happened.

Eric adjusted his round glasses. “So, I thought we would do a little trick to make you look polite in front of her.”

Eric was silent for a moment

“Please continue.”

Alexander became increasingly annoyed

Why don't you say everything at once?

Do you have to create some suspense?

Eric continued. “I wrote this letter for Diana to come to my office. You are the one who will deliver this letter to Diana, and you will try to appear nice and polite in order to leave a good impression—”

Eric stopped talking when he saw Alexander staring at him with his mouth open

Eric touched his face. “Is there something on my face?”

" no." Alexander looked at the ground

He was very shocked when he heard Eric's plan

Eric was able to find a way to help Alexander make money

Now he thought of a good plan to achieve this goal

Is this really the Eric I know?

For a moment, Alexander suspected that the person in front of him was impersonating EricThis is your chance, Alexander

Alexander smiled and said straightly. “I cannot stand idly by while one of my colleagues has a problem. I will participate in this.”

Eric jumped up from his seat and pointed his finger at Alexander happily. “This is the spirit.”
