Chapter 614 World 72
“The Elf King?” Catherine’s eyes widened. “Alright, alright, I should have thought of that. Elves and fairies are all followers of the Elf King. You wouldn’t place any other creature in your favorite position besides the Elf King.”
"But Stella, liking and being there for someone are different things; they can be completely separate."
"You may like the Elf King, but you can't have him. But it's different for others."
“Catherine,” Stella reminded her, “shouldn’t we be leaving?”
Stella's attitude was so obvious that Catherine wisely stopped talking.
They quickly packed up and left the town.
Compared to when they first arrived, there was one more carriage in the procession, and inside, besides the siren Romeo, sat Charlie, who had volunteered to be Catherine's bodyguard.
In fact, Charlie wanted to sit with Catherine, but Catherine had no intention of introducing Stella to them and directly rejected Charlie.
Therefore, Charlie was very curious about Stella.
However, Stella wore a robe and a wide hood the whole time, and gloves on her hands, so not a bit of skin was exposed, and there was nowhere for him to decipher the mystery.
Sitting in the carriage at the back, Charlie asked Romeo, "Have you seen that hooded man? Do you know who he is? He looks more like a vampire than I do."
Romeo closed his eyes and turned his head away, ignoring him.
Charlie wasn't angry at being treated coldly; he still had a smile on his face, but the words he said were rather unpleasant.
"We're all in the same boat now. If we can win Miss Catherine over, you might still have a chance to go back to your teacher."
Seeing that he still refused to open his eyes, Charlie coaxed him gently: "Your teacher made such a decisive decision for your own good. After all, you failed your mission and ended up in Miss Catherine's hands."
"Your group took this opportunity to switch sides to Miss Catherine's side in order to save you, and also to follow the trend of the times."
"But there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied because of this. If you go back and they punish you, your teacher alone cannot protect you."
Romeo only stirred after Charlie said that.
He glanced at Charlie, his tone still indifferent: "I've never seen what she looks like, I only know she's a woman, and her name is Stella."
"She was also the first to recognize my siren identity and break my control over those guards."
“Stella?” Charlie murmured.
Hearing him recite it so fluently, Romeo became curious: "You know her?"
“No,” Charlie said, “I was just thinking that five hundred years ago there was also a Stella who had a good relationship with the Eugene family.”
"But that Stella is a fairy, yes, the one you're thinking of."
"The fairy most favored by the Elf King."
"I heard that even the Archmage Eugene had to treat Stella with great respect. The later head of the Eugene family, Daniel Eugene, was her pen pal for a long time, and she had no further contact with the Eugene family until after Daniel Eugene passed away."
Romeo asked, "You mean, this is the fairy Stella?"
“I didn’t say that,” Charlie shrugged. “I just think that someone who can recognize your race at a glance and knows how to dispel the Siren’s Voice must be no ordinary person.”
Charlie looked ahead: "If it really is her, then this is going to be interesting."
"Even the Elf King, who has never interfered in the affairs of the continent, has sent his most favored elf to approach Miss Catherine. Doesn't this prove that Miss Catherine's future achievements are remarkable?"
Charlie's heart skipped a beat: "When we rest in the next town, I'll send a message to have someone investigate Stella's identity. If Miss Catherine comes looking for me, remember to cover for me."
"This is not only helping me, but also helping your teacher."
After a moment, Romeo gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.
"Achoo!" Stella's nose was a little itchy, but luckily she reacted quickly and pulled out a handkerchief.
"What's wrong, Stella?" Catherine asked worriedly. "Did you catch a chill last night?"
Stella touched her slightly burning ears: "No, I think someone is probably talking about me."
Her clothes were specially made by Damian, with a magic circle woven into the inside, making them warm in winter and cool in summer, and also having an automatic dust-proof function.
Aside from the fact that the material is too expensive, costing an inch of gold, it has no shortcomings.
Given what happened last night, it's impossible for him to catch a cold.
“It must be Charlie and his group,” Catherine said without even considering other possibilities, immediately concluding.
“You didn’t have this problem a few days ago.”
Catherine frowned slightly: "Charlie is very smart. I called your name in front of Romeo yesterday."
“Stella, I think your identity may soon be exposed.”
At the end, Catherine showed a hint of apology on her face. It was she who wanted to travel with Stella, but it was also she who caused the crisis of Stella's identity being exposed.
“What does it matter?” Stella said dismissively. “I think they are very possessive of you. We’re so close, they’ll find out who I am sooner or later.”
Hearing the words "possessive" made Catherine somewhat unhappy, but not towards Stella.
She leaned close to Stella's ear and said, as if complaining, "So what if they're possessive? I am who I am."
Stella nodded firmly: "That's right, Catherine, you are your own person, and no one should or can control you."
Catherine felt relieved.
She sat close to Stella, playing with her hand in hers. She was somewhat unhappy with the gloves Stella was wearing, but in the end, she compromised and intertwined her fingers with Stella's.
"Once I get to the Holy Magic Academy, I will definitely study hard. Maybe before Stella finishes her travels, you will be amazed by my progress once again."
“I’m really looking forward to it,” Stella said. “I hope you become a God of Magic soon, so I can have a God of Magic disciple.”
"At that time, I should become the most powerful teacher in our clan besides the king."
“That’s not all,” Catherine now used Stella’s various praises and adoration for the Elf King as prefixes and suffixes in her sentences, the kind that remained silent without meaning.
“Even if we look at all races, Stella, you will be ranked at the top, because you will only have me as your disciple, and I represent the upper and lower limits of your teaching level.”
"In this way, no one will be able to surpass you in the future."
"Because it's impossible for all the disciples they teach to become Dharma Gods."
Stella tilted her head, easily discerning the stubbornness in Catherine's eyes.
She was very familiar with that kind of gaze.
As a child, she often saw that same stubbornness in Lucas's eyes when he looked at Damian, but she never imagined that now it would be someone else looking at her like that.
Stella thought for a moment and then solemnly promised Catherine.
"If that's what you want."
“Catherine, from now on I will only have you as my disciple.”
