On how PhDs become human evil

“You deliberately went looking for him... So you were planning to do something with Katina I, huh?”

Elishad said with a solemn expression that if King Katina I fell into Kellysa's hands, she would become the strongest person in Britain, and even her knights would have unparalleled fighting power. If Kellysa wanted to do something, it would be a piece of cake.

With a wry smile, Kellysa nodded decisively: "Indeed, I originally planned to use King Katina I's power to launch a coup, but unfortunately, there's no need for that now."

"Oh? There's no need for that. Why?"

“I now have two identities: one is Princess Kellysa, the second princess of England, and the other is Bai Jie’s wife. Because of my second identity, sooner or later I will leave this world. In that case, even if I obtain King Katina I, it will be of no use. I might as well give it to you and let you use its power. It’s that simple.” As she said this, Kellysa leaned gently against Bai Jie. “Well, the excavation of King Katina I began a long time ago. I even devised a plan before, but it’s no longer needed.”

Hearing Kellysa's words, Elishad, Limeel, Livian, and the Knight Commander all felt their worldviews shattered.

Is this... is this still the Second Princess Kelissa they know, renowned for her military prowess? She looks like a carefree young woman, completely absorbed in love and oblivious to everything else! She so easily changed her original plans just because she got a man—is this the power of marriage?!

"I feel like I lost somewhere."

“Sister Limeel, I feel the same way.”

Limeel and Livian looked at Kelissa, who was snuggling up to Bai Jie, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in their hearts.

Limeel: He really did cheat on his sister after all.

Chapter 566, page 63. One update today.

Upon hearing Kellysa say that she would hand over King Katina I to her, Elishad rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a while, then suddenly threw King Katina II into her hands.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Master was immediately horrified, clearly terrified out of his wits. He rushed forward and caught Queen Katina II, completely disregarding the fact that the person in front of him was the Queen of England, and immediately began to berate her: "What are you doing! How can you just throw away something as important as Queen Katina II like this! You idiot, as the Queen of England, you should at least value your country's national treasures!"

“But if even King Katina I has been unearthed, then King Katina II is useless, right? What’s the point of keeping something useless?” Elishad said quite bluntly.

The Knight Commander was immediately speechless.

Just as Elishad said, now that Katina I has reappeared, it is only a matter of time before Katina II completely loses her power, so there is no need to keep her alive.

"More importantly, my son-in-law is here today. Should we have a banquet tonight, daughters?"

“Banquets? I don’t really like those kinds of occasions. Someone might try to assassinate me.” Limeel frowned, but quickly relaxed again. “But with such a capable brother-in-law around, even if someone tries to assassinate me, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

"Sister Wang, I remember you were the one who distrusted those who knew your identity the most, so why do you trust my husband so much?"

“What I don’t trust are those who know I’m the First Princess, but I naturally trust those who treat me kindly even if they don’t know I’m the First Princess,” Limeel said. “My brother-in-law happens to fit that description perfectly.”

"Honey, from now on you and Sister Wang must keep a distance of more than five meters. She has ulterior motives towards you."

"How did you figure that out?" Bai Jie was embarrassed.

Limeel looked at Livian: "Livian, what do you think?"

“If it’s going to be a banquet, I agree. My brother-in-law has come from afar, so we definitely need to welcome him.” Livia wisely ignored the deeper meaning in Limeel’s words.

Seeing that her three daughters had all agreed, Elishad turned to the Knights Commander. Without her needing to explain, the Knights Commander said, "I will lead the Knights to complete the banquet arrangements. As for the venue, is our usual restaurant acceptable?"

"It's alright."

"Yes, then I'll go down and make the arrangements."

The Knight Commander left the meeting hall, and before leaving, he forcibly placed Queen Katina II into Elishad's hands. It was clear that this Knight Commander was a very serious and law-abiding person.

Suddenly, Enterprise noticed that Bai Jie's gaze was fixed on the direction the Knight Commander had left, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Commander? Are you bothered by that Knight Commander?"

"I wouldn't say I care, but I just feel that guy is very loyal to England. It's a bit surprising that there are still such loyal knights these days."

“That guy is indeed a very loyal fellow. He’s not blindly loyal to his master, but loyal to the country of England. He joined my ranks because he thought I could bring the greatest benefit to England,” said Kellysa, the Knights Commander’s superior. “However, he can be completely unreasonable at times. If I act a little out of line in social situations, he’ll nag and fuss like a mother hen.”

“I feel the same way. I was thinking of wearing jeans to a meeting, but that guy just barged in and yelled at me.” Alissa rarely agreed with Kellysa’s opinion.

(Commander of the Knights, you've had it tough too.)

Bai Jie offered a moment of silence for the Knights Commander.

"Alright, everything's settled now. Let's go back to the room, honey, business."

Upon hearing Kellysa's words, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Limeel pushed up her glasses: "Thinking about being all lovey-dovey with men in broad daylight, and even dragging other women along, Kellysa, you really do something like that."

"Anyway, I won't take you, Sister Wang. With your awkward personality, you'll never find a man in your entire life."

"Ugh!"

Limeel clutched her chest and collapsed.

Indeed, given her personality, it would be virtually impossible for her to find a man she could truly love.

Ignoring her sister, Kellysa pulled Bai Jie and Enterprise towards the door.

Watching the three leave, Elishad gave a meaningful smile: "Youth is truly wonderful. It reminds me of my own youth. Hmm, looks like I can hold my grandchildren soon. Limeel, Livian, how about you two find men too?"

“Mother, please don’t joke around. Finding a man is too early for you.”

As Livia said this, the image of a man involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

(William...)

On the other side—

"So, I've been abandoned by them?"

Misaka Mikoto looked displeased.

What's with this awkward feeling of not being able to get a word in edgewise? Whether it's Bai Jie's side or her side, she doesn't seem to have a chance to speak. Could it be that she's superfluous?

"Ring ring ring!"

Suddenly, the telephone rang urgently.

It's Misaka Mikoto's phone.

"Sorry, I think I forgot to put it on silent." Misaka Mikoto hurriedly took out her phone and said to Elisa and the other two.

"It's alright, the meeting is over anyway."

Seeing that Elizabeth didn't care at all, Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was the Queen of England, and Misaka Mikoto still felt a little restrained.

Upon opening her phone, Misaka Mikoto was surprised to find that the caller was Shirai Kuroko.

"Kuroko?"

"My dear sister! What are you doing in England?!"

As soon as the call connected, Shirai Kuroko's mesmerizing shouts reached Misaka Mikoto's ears.

"Huh? How did you know I came to England?"

"I was just told by the dorm supervisor that you applied for an extension of your leave, and after some investigation, I found out you went to England! Weren't you supposed to be going to Venice? Why did you go to England? Does this mean Kuroko won't be able to see you for a long time?"

Even just hearing her voice, Misaka Mikoto could picture Shirai Kuroko's indignant expression. Her junior was perfect in every way, but unfortunately, she was a pervert.

"Well, a lot has happened to me too. I can't stay in Venice for the time being, and since Professor Kelly is in England, I came here."

"When are you coming back, my dear sister?!"

"Hmm...we'll see. Maybe I'll go back the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow—! NO—! I won't see my sister for two more days, Kuroko is going to die of loneliness!"

"You're so lonely. That's it, I'm hanging up."

Ignoring Shirai Kuroko's wailing, Misaka Mikoto hung up the phone.

P.S.: Although I escaped halfway through online classes, I still haven't had time to write. Only one update today, sorry.

Section 567, Chapter 64: The Knight Commander's Challenge

"You want to fight me?"

Today is Bai Jie's second day in the UK. Because the company and Kellysa had a great time last night, Bai Jie didn't wake up until noon today.

Incidentally, the company and Kellysa are still in bed.

After getting up, Bai Jie encountered the Knight Commander in the garden.

“That’s right. Although Her Majesty the Queen and the princesses have already acknowledged that you are Princess Kellysa’s man, I still want to personally test whether you have the ability to protect Princess Kellysa.”

"I see. So this was your decision as the Knight Commander and Captain of Kellysa's Guard."

The Knight Commander had always been the one protecting Kellysa, but now that Kellysa was about to leave his protection and enter the protection of another man, he naturally wanted to test whether this newcomer had the strength to take over Kellysa's protection from him.

If the person is weaker than himself, the Knight Commander will kill him even if he is dismissed from his post. A weakling who cannot protect Kellysa is not qualified to be Kellysa's husband.

If the knight commander is stronger than himself, he would be happy to hand Kellysa over to him, because Kellysa would be safer under his command than under his own.

Although Bai Jie felt a little conflicted about having such an overly loyal man by his wife's side, he knew that he was doing it for Kelissa's own good.

"Well, a match is fine. I haven't been active in a while, so it'll be good to stretch my muscles. But where should we fight? We can't just fight in the garden, can we?"

"Please rest assured on this point, I have obtained temporary access to the area surrounding Buckingham Palace from Her Majesty the Queen."

"It seems they were prepared in advance, but the Queen is quite carefree."

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

Bai Jie followed the Knight Commander to an open area outside Buckingham Palace. Perhaps because a barrier had been set up in advance to disperse onlookers, or for some other reason, only Bai Jie and the Knight Commander were in the open area.

With his hands casually in his pockets, Bai Jie looked at the Knight Commander ten meters away: "So, how are we going to fight? A simple swordsmanship contest? Or magic?"

"No need for such complicated procedures, let's just do it all at once."

The commander of the knights drew the sword hanging at his waist.

It was a longsword with a blade 80 centimeters long, designed for knights to fight while simultaneously maneuvering their warhorses. However, unlike other swords, its silver surface was roughly covered with a layer of reddish-black substance.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Bubbles appeared on the surface of the crimson-black longsword in the Knight Commander's hand.

These weren't simple chemical reaction bubbles; each bubble swelled to the size of a basketball, and dozens, even hundreds, of bubbles, significantly larger than the width of a sword, suddenly expanded. The next instant, the outlines of those bubbles shattered, and emerging from them was a brand new weapon.

Holding a giant sword over three meters long in one hand, the Knight Commander showed no sign of discomfort: "Florence, you should understand now."
