Chapter 708 Saintly: Has the Princess Taken a Fancy to Me Too?

Princess Emerald had long harbored the idea of ​​recruiting Seiya.

After all, a mage who can withstand "magical spirit power" is, to some extent, a strategic weapon to deter other kingdoms.

After a brief exchange, Princess Emerald was captivated by Seiya's knowledge and elegance, which led her to decide on a whim to have Seiya stay and become her court magic teacher.

One reason for this idea is that Princess Emerald wants to build a good relationship with a powerful mage like Seiya.

Secondly, Princess Emerald was genuinely interested in the Star God Magic that Seiya had mentioned.

After all, according to Seiya, the so-called Star God Magic is completely unique in this world except for Seiya, and should be considered a lost magic.

This is a magical world where everything in life is closely related to magic. Who would refuse to learn a powerful spell?
This is a lost magic even rarer than ancient magic, so even though she is a princess, she would naturally take action because of it.

Unlike other mages, the upper limit of a Celestial Spirit Mage's power depends on how many Celestial Spirit Keys they possess.

If you hold all the keys to the Zodiac in your hands, then you can confidently claim to be the strongest Celestial Spirit Mage!
The strength of the Celestials also has a certain upper limit. The only difference is that the Celestial Mage has the magic power to summon several Celestials at the same time.

Princess Emerald is considered a Celestial Spirit Mage, but due to the numerous lessons she had to learn from a young age, such as internal affairs and etiquette, her strength can only be considered that of a third-rate Celestial Spirit Mage.

The zodiac star spirit keys have long been claimed by their respective owners. Even though she is a princess, the keys she possesses are only those of silver star spirits.

"Although in theory others can also learn my Star Spirit Magic, and it is easier for Star Spirit Mages to master it."

However, this magic is not easy... and although I am grateful for Her Highness's favor, I have no intention of leaving Fairy Tail to serve in the royal palace for the time being.

When he left the palace, Seiya let out a deep sigh.

Meanwhile, Princess Emerald, who was in the palace, watched Seiya's departing figure through the floor-to-ceiling windows and said with the same regret, "Seiya Lanza seems to be different from ordinary mages. His strength is also quite good. It's a pity that he is unwilling to stay."

Upon hearing Princess Emerald's words, Arcadios, who was standing behind her, also spoke up: "It's not just magic. Judging from his actions just now, I can tell that his martial arts skills are also quite remarkable."

Furthermore, Lord Seizai is quite handsome, with a noble demeanor and speech; it's understandable that Her Highness would be attracted to him.

Arcadios was not only a confidant of the Emerald Princess, but also someone who had watched her grow up. That's why he, as her guard, made that half-joking remark.

To his surprise, his teasing did not provoke any embarrassment or anger from Princess Emerald. Instead, she nodded seriously.

"If you don't have anyone else you like, he's definitely a good choice."

Compared to those useless nobles in the kingdom, Lord Saint Zai is indeed far superior.

As the heir to the Kingdom of Fiore, I will inherit the throne sooner or later, and offspring are essential for the continuation of the royal bloodline.

"Lord Seiya is exceptionally talented and handsome. If we were to marry him, we could surely produce an even more outstanding heir, wouldn't we?"

Hearing the Emerald Princess's emotionless voice, Arcadios sighed deeply.

Their princess is impeccable as a princess of the country, and she is almost always thinking about the country.

However, as a young girl, she was quite cruel to herself.

However, Arcadios couldn't say much, after all, there's a saying: "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown!"

As the heir to the Kingdom of Fiore, it's unrealistic for Princess Emerald to pursue love like an ordinary young girl.

Moreover, Saint-Lansa is indeed a very suitable marriage prospect for Princess Emerald.

The Kingdom of Fiore may seem to be ruled by the royal family, but in this magical world, whoever has the biggest fist is the one who truly holds power.

Since the emergence of powerful mage guilds among the common people, the status of the royal family has actually been gradually declining.

The Dark Guild has become increasingly active in recent years. Imagine if Jellal and his group's goal this time wasn't the Tower of Paradise, but the Kingdom of Fiore.

Are they really capable of withstanding the "magical spirit power" that has fallen upon the royal capital, Crocus?

"What! You're saying that the Emerald Princess of the Kingdom of Fiore plans to hire you as her court magic tutor for three months?"

After the awarding of medals concluded, Erza and the others, who had also toured the royal capital, prepared to return home.

After all, as guild mages, they also have jobs to do, and they can't just waste their time here.

Especially after the Magic Council was disbanded, the dark guilds in various places have become unusually active again. Makarov seems to be assigning them some work and keeps urging them to go back.

"Yes, I originally refused, but this is already the result of a compromise."

"She's a princess, after all, and her request followed proper procedures. Going back to take on other work is still work, so I've decided to stay and be a teacher for now."

Hearing that Seiya was going to teach Princess Emerald the magic of summoning stars, Lucy, who was standing nearby, was filled with envy.

Although she already has quite a few keys to the Zodiac, how many Celestial Spirit Mages can refuse to master another powerful Celestial Spirit spell that doesn't require a Celestial Spirit key?
Not to mention anything else, Lucy has been eyeing the golden dragon summoned by Seiya for a long time.

Not only is he strong and handsome, but he's also obedient. If I could learn such magic, wouldn't I be able to take off on the spot?
"Seija, may I stay and be a classmate with Her Highness the Princess?"

Lucy was truly tempted, mainly because she had never imagined that she would have the opportunity to learn Seiya's magic.

"Your Highness's tuition is one million J per month, which is three million J for three months."

"Since we're partners, I can give you a 50% discount as a friend's price."

Even at half price, it's still 1.5 million J...

Seiya: "(▽｀) What? You think you can get something for free from me?"

Is the price offered by Seiya expensive?
Honestly, not at all? In fact, it's almost like getting it for free.

The price of 1.5 million J wouldn't even buy the key to the Zodiac, but here in Seiya's place, there's a chance to learn lost magic comparable to the Zodiac Star Spirits.

"Natsu, let's go back quickly. Didn't the chairman say he found us a well-paid job?"
I need to save up 1.5 million J as quickly as possible, Seiya, you can't regret it then!
