The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

Su Yao: “?”

Su Yao was about to be confused.

What is he doing? Drinking?

So he's still drinking to drown his sorrows?

Su Yao: "... That's good, but you still have to take care of your body?"

Kyle: “?”

However, before he could ask, Su Yao said that she really wanted to switch lines.

Kyle responded solemnly.

Then he felt for the umpteenth time that he should have killed Crown Prince Ole before.

On the other side, Su Yao finally answered the call from the Crown Prince.

"Good night, Your Excellency. Ah, I suppose it is night time there?"

A pleasant male voice came from the optical brain.

"Sounds like you're busy?"

His pronunciation was very standard, his tone was elegant, and his pauses were rhythmic, as if he was not chatting but giving a speech.

Su Yao immediately knew who this was.

"Ah, Your Majesty, long time no see. I hope everything is well. And, I am indeed a little busy, but I think canceling the engagement is worth my time."

The other party chuckled. "Thank you for your greetings. It seems that I disturbed you. Moreover, I think I need to apologize for another thing. I heard that the trainer I sent offended you?"

Su Yao also laughed, "Some of their words and actions caused my house and furniture to be damaged, but they paid compensation, so the matter is over."

The king was not in a hurry. "I chose the wrong person. Those two people usually have a good relationship with Ryan. I thought you two could get along well."

"Oh? So they have a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Yao pretended to be surprised. "I didn't expect it. After all, I have already told His Highness that I want to cancel the engagement, but they seem to have no idea. Their attitude is also confusing. His Highness the Crown Prince actually has such a bad character, self-righteous, and maggot-eyed friend... Wait, no, it doesn't seem strange. After all, birds of a feather flock together."

There was a brief silence in the channel.

Although she didn't hear any change in the king's breathing, Su Yao knew that he must be very unhappy.

How should I put it? The king knew his son very well, and in the original book he scolded his son very mercilessly.

But this kind of person is like this when he is a parent. He can scold his own child, but if someone says something bad about his beloved child, he can't stand it.

Besides, at least for the king, in addition to maintaining the royal bloodline and face, he is also afraid that his son will be deceived and hurt, and hopes that he can be more sober and mature.

That's why I curse.

"… Your Excellency the Duke," the king said calmly, "After all, your marriage involves the entire royal family. Even if we have a good personal relationship, it is not appropriate to discuss it before the matter is decided. Moreover, they are not friends, but people we hired. If they do anything inappropriate, I should terminate the contract with them."

Apart from anything else, at least in terms of the legal provisions, even the royal family cannot force others to sign a permanent indenture.

The team of trainers and divine healers maintained by the royal family were all recruited and hired, and everyone was a free man.

As for those trainers and spiritual healers who are more capable, they are not short of money and do not want to be ordered around by members of the royal family, so they will not work for them.

"Your Excellency, the Duke, you are all still young, and you have just reached adulthood. You are young and impulsive—"

Su Yao rolled her eyes silently.

My predecessor had met the king once, but that was at a dinner party in the royal palace. Although it was a family dinner and there were not many people present, it was still a public occasion.

His Majesty the King was quite arrogant at the time, and his words were all about you not being worthy of my son, but since you two are a good match, I just had to accept the loss.

It's not surprising at all that he's being sarcastic and weird now.

In the novel, his attitude towards the heroine is a hundred thousand times worse than this.

Of course Su Yao doesn't think there is any comparison.

She didn't expect them to help her get revenge.

"Yeah," Su Yao couldn't help interrupting him, "I thought so too. It hasn't been long since I turned 18, and I haven't had time to experience more love and have more dates."

The king's words stopped abruptly.

"Originally, I think that although getting married early is disadvantageous, it is worth it if you meet the right person—"

The predecessor did think so.

Su Yao sneered, "Now it seems that my decision was wrong. You are right. Because I am young, I don't know people well, and I can't tell good from bad. I bring all the rotten and smelly things home."

Before the king got angry, she added slowly: "He drinks my wine and scolds me behind my back. I actually invited such a person to be my guest——"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was listening in the study, was stunned when he heard the words and looked thoughtful.

The king immediately thought of what happened at the banquet.

In addition to the conflict between his son and the Duke, when his son was not present, his classmates also had conflicts with Su Yao and Dylan, and were even beaten.

The king had no objection to the fact that Ryan made friends with some of his non-aristocratic classmates, as it helped establish the crown prince's image as a person who was approachable.

However, although those classmates were not aristocrats, they were all second-generation rich.

Perhaps it was because he came from a wealthy family and was spoiled by his parents since childhood that he dared to get drunk at the Duke's banquet and even speak nonsense.

For people of lower bloodline, if they drink a few more sips of the exotic wine served at the banquets of the royal family, they might get into all kinds of trouble.

"But I guess they paid a price, didn't they, Your Excellency?"
The king said slowly, "Or do you think that's not enough?"

Ryan turned his head sharply, "Dad, they are all my friends!"

In fact, he could roughly guess how they had offended Duke Su. It was simply because they were angry with him, or perhaps they had said something that his fiancée was not worthy of him.

Apart from this, there is no other possibility, after all, there is no grudge between us.

Their behavior was indeed wrong, but in his opinion, since Su Yao had hit them, the matter should be ended.

The Crown Prince's voice was cleared by the ambient noise reduction function.

Therefore, Su Yao did not hear it, but the king, who was in the same room with his son, heard it.

However, he acted as if he was deaf. "Let them drop out of school? Let them serve their sentences? Will that satisfy you, Your Excellency?"

Many times, the details of things can reveal information.

Just like the two trainers, they didn't dare to complain or make up lies, they just gave a brief and vague account of the process.

The king knew that they had been beaten, but he didn't know exactly how badly they were beaten. Anyway, they all recovered soon.

However, he was somewhat curious about how Duke Su did it, so he found a way to "see" the relevant memories in the trainer's mind.

Therefore, the king also "saw" the scene where his nominal daughter-in-law picked up a table and smashed someone, and "saw" how she became furious because of hypnosis.

So even if he didn't see how his son's classmates were beaten, he could imagine it to some extent.

——Also, the one who was beaten the hardest was only a D-level. If Su Yao hit him with the same force as she hit the trainer, his entire head might have been smashed.

So obviously she has some points too.

The king didn't have any feelings about her temper, S-class people were easily affected by the beastly nature in their blood, and he had seen many people who were crazier and more cruel than this.

But no matter what, this is definitely not a suitable marriage partner for my son.

Perhaps he could persuade the Crown Prince to find more lovers in the future, as Duke Su would most likely do the same anyway.

—— Countless noble parents would also tell their children this, asking them to accept marriages that they were not particularly satisfied with just for the sake of compatibility. After all, compatibility does not prevent the birth of unhappy couples, and the initial impression it affects can be changed by various factors, not to mention that the value between many people and their partners is not that high.

However, James II also knew that his eldest son was not that kind of person.

Take Ruan Jiao for example, the initial source of their good impression was their compatibility, which is normal.

The same would happen if it happened to other members of the royal family, but after those people got to know Ruan Jiao, their good impression of her would gradually fade, and it would never come to this.

"In fact, all these things have only made me want to break off the engagement with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even more."
The king heard Duke Su's reply, "Besides, nothing good has happened to us since we got engaged. For such a party, I went to Redion-XIII and was targeted again. I still can't remember what happened on the satellite of Thyos-VIII."

This sentence hit the nail on the head about what the king was worried about.

He didn't care if the other party was insinuating that she was being retaliated against by the king's enemies as a member of the quasi-royal family.

The king was concerned about something else.

In the S-level classification, different races have different strengths. The thing that James II is most dissatisfied with about Duke Su, the Crown Prince's fiancé, is her race.

Even during the heyday of the Federation, these highly poisonous S-class races, of which Su Yao's bloodline was one, could still release deadly toxins.

Targeted antitoxin serum has never been successfully developed.

The mechanisms of those viruses are complex and unstable, and will only bring irreversible destruction time and time again.

Later, wars broke out frequently, the federation collapsed, and many precious research materials were lost. People today are unable to make any breakthrough progress in this area.

In James II's opinion, S-class with poisonous bloodline, or honest and simple, or docile and weak, or calm and introverted, are all easy to deal with.

This is not the case with Duke Su.

Maybe she finally couldn't bear it anymore after enduring for several months, maybe she was stimulated by the rumors, or maybe she was not opposed to awakening in her heart and was therefore influenced by some instinct.

Either way, it means she is dangerous to the Crown Prince.

In a fair one-on-one fight, Ryan could easily win, but being a couple sleeping in the same bed together was another matter.

If she holds a grudge, there will be plenty of opportunities to hurt him.

Even if it is an accidental injury caused by anger, it is troublesome.

Of course, both of them are S-level, so in comparison, this poison is not absolutely fatal.

But the king would not use the excuse that "death is a low-probability event" to let his eldest son take the risk.

"Your Excellency the Duke."
James II's tone changed slightly, sounding a little more relaxed, perhaps he finally came to terms with it.
"…How is your spiritual body training progressing?"

Su Yao was stunned when she heard this, "Uh, is it okay?"

The king laughed. "So how should I understand your answer?"

Su Yao quickly started thinking, wondering what he meant, "What if I say I can condense a spiritual body?"

"Oh?" The king seemed a little surprised and was silent for a few seconds. "Then I have to congratulate you."

Su Yao suddenly understood.

The royal family will give a legitimate reason for breaking off the engagement that does not tarnish the crown prince's reputation, while secretly putting the blame on themselves.

At that time, they will announce to the public that the two of them are not in a good relationship, and spread some rumors that "Duke Su cannot provide spiritual comfort", so that people will think that everything is her fault.

...Similar tactics had been used in another prince's wedding hundreds of years ago.

In fact, among the royal family members, it is not the first time that not only engaged couples break off their engagements, but even married couples get divorced.

The public doesn't take it that seriously, it's just a topic of fun after dinner.

But the king obviously wanted to protect his son's reputation and not let him suffer any loss.

However, this world has a large population, so there are many extreme fans. Some of the crown prince's admirers are even trying every means to find out information about the new Duke Su.

Unfortunately, this is not something they can know even if they want to know.

After the call ended, Su Yao looked at the computer and was shocked to find that Kyle did not hang up, so she quickly switched over.

"Kyle? Are you still there?"

"Ah."
A teammate's deep and rich voice came from the channel, "Here."

Su Yao was a little surprised. She thought the guy was drunk and might have fallen asleep with the voice chat still on.

"Sorry, I just talked for a long time. Actually, you don't have to wait all the time."
Su Yao whispered, "You can rest if you are tired or sleepy."

Kyle wasn't sure what she had misunderstood. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He just replied solemnly: "I don't need to rest."

Su Yao did not insist. After all, some people just couldn't stand hearing others say they were drunk. "Okay, well, I actually have something else to do--"

and many more.

Su Yao blinked, "Are you married?"

Kyle: “?” Kyle: “No.”

Although there were indeed many people who tried to force him to get married.

Someone who was looking at the scenery at the garbage disposal base was recalling some unpleasant experiences with an expressionless face.

Su Yao: "I mean, can't you be fully awakened? If you don't have a fixed object to comfort you...then I guess you are also good at mental power?"

Although the awakening burden for people of lower levels is not that great, it is unlikely that the spiritual body will be in a mess when it reaches the full awakening stage.

Su Yao paused, "Or did you also ask those divine therapists to comfort you?"

"I haven't seen a divine healer."
Kyle responded, "You and I are...different races, and my methods are not suitable for you."

"Oh, I don't really want anything, I just want to condense a spiritual body as soon as possible, at least to the extent that I can show it to others?"

If she could create a spiritual body and then parade it around the school, the royal family would not use this as an excuse.

"Besides," Su Yao was a little distressed, "I have tried almost everything I found on the Internet."

You can find some training methods on the Internet whose authenticity is unknown, but considering safety issues, no authoritative and formal website will publish those more effective methods.

After all, if a person is doing mental training alone at home, if there is danger, it is difficult to get treatment in the first time.

The most reliable way is to find a trainer.

But when she checked, she found that those companies that provide mental training services, whether they charge a one-time fee or develop medium- to long-term plans, actually have a variety of different styles and schools.

Some use external stimulation to stimulate mental power, while others guide mental power. The training programs of different plans are different.

At the same time, some people say that the higher the bloodline level, the more difficult it is to train.

Su Yao sighed, "I originally wanted to ask you, if you have been trained, what kind of school you follow, but if you have not been trained and you have learned it yourself, then forget it..."

There was silence in the voice channel for a while.

It probably took a few minutes.

"I'll contact someone for you."
Kyle said, "He has the most spiritual bodies and the strongest spiritual power among all the humans I have ever seen. He also has teaching experience, so he should be more able to prescribe the right medicine for the condition."

Su Yao: "Is it a professional trainer?"

"...He does have the qualification certificate, and his younger brothers and sisters, as well as the children in the family, have all been taught by him. I have seen them, and in comparison, the mental strength of these people is not bad."

Su Yao didn't know what the standard of this so-called "okay" was, and who she was comparing herself with.

But she always felt that Kyle would not praise anyone casually, so even if these people's bloodline level might not be high, their mental strength should not be bad.

It's definitely more than enough to at least teach yourself a beginner.

She didn't find the human range strange. After all, there were many non-human intelligent races in this universe.

Su Yao: "Is he free now?"

Kyle didn't answer right away.

Su Yao guessed that he might be contacting the master of mental power.

……

Kyle returned to the palace gardens.

Not long after, a tall figure appeared in the courtyard.

The white-haired, blue-eyed man leaned over to greet him. His handsome, stern face looked like a stone sculpture. "Good day, Your Majesty."

Kyle looked at him calmly, "You said before that you were willing to do anything for me."

"Your Majesty saved my family from the war."
The white-haired man said solemnly, "Fenrir will always be at your service."

Kyle nodded. "Next, I will send you to Dorne. If anyone asks, you have to claim that you were originally nearby."

White-haired man: “?”

Kyle ignored his reaction, "There is a person who needs spiritual guidance. Her understanding of spiritual power... just think of her as a one-week-old baby, but with the mind of an adult."

The white-haired man listened in silence.

Even when the other party said something that seemed outrageous, he did not question it.

……

Su Yao heard the reply from the optical brain.

"You can meet."
Kyle put it this way, "It's convenient for him to go to Dorne."

Su Yao: "Ah?"

The pastries I sent out myself had the shipping point written on it as a logistics station in the orbit of Dorne.

If Kyle had checked the courier number, he would have been able to get the corresponding information and believe that she was a native of Dorne.

Su Yao didn't mind exposing her planet, because her properties were all over Outlet, she was just temporarily living in her own territory.

I won't be here forever.

But she was still a little surprised. "I thought the person you recommended to me would be someone from the Empire? Or maybe he just happens to be in Ole right now... Is it convenient for him to come over? How convenient is it?"

Kyle: "It's an Imperial. When is a good time for you to meet him?"

Su Yao looked at the navigation, "An hour later?"

This was enough time for her to go to the capital city, find the apartment she owned that was closest to the airport, and have the robot clean it.

Kyle: "Send me the address and I'll send it to him."

As he said this, he also issued her a spiritual body trainer qualification certificate.

Su Yao looked at the qualification certificate, which was the highest level certificate issued by the Imperial Education Department.

The names above are hidden as abbreviations, which is a common way of presenting them to customers.

Su Yao: "Wait a minute, this kind of professional talent should have a high praise rate, why did you only mention that he taught his family?"

Kyle: “He just has the certificate, but he doesn’t have the profession.”

Su Yao: "..."

In theory, meeting online friends, or meeting people recommended by online friends, requires careful consideration.

However, Su Yao no longer cares about these.

If someone else comes along who can teleport her a million light years away, then she'll be unlucky. It would be better to die early than to live in fear every day.

Having said that, the bodyguard team still did their duty and came up with a solution.

They had learned from their last lesson and had now figured out a variety of ways to deal with the attack, and several of them had even planted counter-attack abilities on her.

Su Yao thanked them, and the bodyguards felt very guilty, thinking that the last incident was their negligence.

Leaving the mansion in the outer city, Su Yao drove the wing car to the airport in the city.

Entering the inner city of the capital, she saw the tangled skytrains and the curved and straight elevated roads that formed a complex and orderly transportation network.

If it weren't for the vehicle's built-in navigation system, she would have definitely gotten lost on these roads and ended up being fined for violating the rules.

Beneath the layers of network is a huge multi-level airport.

Countless shuttle bridges and docking platforms extended and retracted, and robots rushed around in the aisles.

Industrial-grade transport ships and large passenger ships sailed into different areas, making the private spaceships that were rising and falling look particularly small.

At the exit of the airport, Su Yao met the person she was waiting for.

Amidst the noisy and crowded crowd, a white-haired man stepped out of the terminal corridor.

Tourists were shoulder to shoulder, robots were shuttling back and forth, and in the bustling crowd, his tall and majestic figure and snow-like curly hair were particularly eye-catching.

Suddenly, the man turned his head and looked over.

He has a pair of deep, cold, intimidating blue eyes, and his sight is extremely penetrating——

He crossed a distance of more than ten meters, passed through the dense crowd, and locked his gaze on her.

Su Yao was shocked.

The man was very tall and his appearance could be considered handsome, but he was not particularly outstanding. In this world where the average appearance is relatively high, he did not stand out at all.

Yet his manners were perfect.

When standing still, the lines from the neck to the spine, and the way he looks back sideways, all have an indescribable elegance.

For a moment, Su Yao remembered the etiquette course that her predecessor had taken when she had just inherited the title.

She was also a noble lady before, but her family had never had strict requirements and just let her do what she could to cope with the situation.

At this moment, the person he saw had a posture as standard as those sample bionic people, but was more beautiful than the cold machine.

"..."

The white-haired man walked up to him.

A large shadow suddenly loomed.

Su Yao looked up at him, and even subconsciously straightened her back, "Hello, did Kyle introduce you?"

The white-haired man paused, then nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Su Yao blinked, "What did Kyle tell you about me?"

"You're a feline."
His voice was deep and rich, a mellow and soft baritone, "It requires mental training."

Although he looked unapproachable, his tone was not arrogant, and there was no trace of irritation or impatience between his brows.

Su Yao nodded, "Okay."

There were no subtitles above this guy's head. She had tried to read it before, but couldn't see even a single letter.

This means it is most likely Class B.

Su Yao thought about it, but couldn't help it. "Kyle showed me your certificate. I heard that you didn't become a trainer?"

"I took the test when I was in college," the white-haired man said slowly, "and then I was too busy and had no time to work."

Too busy to work?
Su Yao blinked, "What are you busy doing?"

The white-haired man glanced at her, with an indescribable subtlety in his eyes, "Inherit the family property."

Su Yao: "..."
It seems that birds of a feather flock together.

Su Yao was silent for a moment. "I have an apartment nearby. I'll drive you there."

The roads nearby were congested and the Wing Car could only be driven automatically. If she didn't want the temporary teacher to know who she was, she had to drive slowly.

Perhaps because the previous voice message mentioned the empire, news big data also began to push information related to the empire.

Su Yao casually scanned some imperial news.

"The first family under the royal family: the imperial family with the largest number of S-level bloodline heirs, the Fenrir family..."

She originally wanted to clear it, but she accidentally clicked somewhere and touched a keyword, and a new page popped up.

"The golden bachelor of the empire: Fenrir's Wolf King, Lord of the Managar Galaxy, Prince Helot, a fully awakened four-winged wolf..."

Su Yao didn't have time to read these, so she quickly closed the page and replied to Kyle that she had picked up the person.

"Speak of it."
She looked at the white-haired man in the passenger seat. "I have a piece of artificial skin on my face now. I haven't shown my entire face. Does that affect the training?"

The white-haired man shook his head slightly, "It doesn't matter, this is not my true appearance."

Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "So...what is your bloodline, sir?"

The white-haired man sat upright, his handsome and stern profile framed by a golden glow in the dusk, revealing a sense of nobleness and arrogance for no reason.

"Canines."
He answered like this.
