"...Ah, I'm ashamed to say this... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but Caroline is my ex-fiancée."

"Ex-fiancée?"

This sudden big news almost made him unable to recover. He quickly imagined a series of love, hate, and vengeance in his mind, which eventually led to the two people parting ways.

Suddenly, the fire called the Soul of Gossip burned fiercely, and it was almost as if a small stool was prepared to sit down and eat melons.

But in fact, it was not what he imagined at all, and it was even more outrageous.

"Well, yes, Caroline...she used to be my fiancée."

A wry smile played on Alvin's lips as he quietly told him about his past experiences.

Caroline, like Alvin, is also a descendant of the royal family, and the two are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

In order to consolidate their respective dominance over the land of Lienia, the two families decided to form an alliance through marriage early on.

But just two and a half years ago, news suddenly came from Caroline's family that they had rejected the marriage again.

The reason is that Alvin is no longer worthy of Caroline.

After making inquiries from many sources, we learned that Caroline showed outstanding talent in learning pyroxene magic, so the Caroline family sent Caroline to the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy to become an excellent pyroxene magician.

Although Alvin calls himself a pyroxene magician, the magical abilities of the royal nobles are not as strong as those of Queen Lenarra or [Moon Princess] Lani.

Only some simple pyroxene magic can be used roughly.

For example, he would not use any of the advanced Kalia sword magic such as Pyroxene Magic Gravel and Pyroxene Curve.

Because they don't need it either.

However, Caroline's family relied on Caroline's excellent magical talent to establish a connection with the magic academy.

After the transformation, the Rhea Lukalia School of Magic could be said to be the only dominant one, even surpassing Kalia's momentum, so it was no problem to cooperate with the School of Magic to consolidate its own rule.

What's more, even the [Moon Princess] Lani chose to cooperate with the academy and continuously supply talents to the magic academy, not to mention other royal nobles.

They all have their own little thoughts and hope to gain the favor of the college.

Thus, Alvin and his family were abandoned.

This sudden betrayal also caused Alvin's elderly father to suffocate and die.

After that, in the past two and a half years, Caroline displayed her outstanding talents in the academy, while Alvin took over his father's position and worked hard to make the territory bigger and stronger and fight for his reputation.

Until now, I wanted to go to the Magic Academy for further studies and discuss cooperation, and I met him by chance.

"Oh my God, this woman Caroline and her family are so ruthless."

After listening to Alvin's story, Reinhardt used his exaggerated acting skills to cover up his inner surprise and speechlessness.

What kind of bloody plot is this?

Did Alvin take the script from Mr. Xiao at the border?

Did you shout something like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the young and poor" when you broke off the engagement?

Do the two of them have a three-year agreement?

Then he would defeat his former fiancée with ease, kill all the demigods to seize the fragments of Elden's Ring, and finally sit on the throne of King Elden and unify the border area?

He said he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this ridiculous development.

However, Alvin didn't notice his abnormality and thought that he was sympathetic to him. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Caroline... is really too heartless."

"Even for the sake of our childhood friendship, she and her family shouldn't be so ruthless! They shouldn't humiliate my family like this!"

Having said that, Alvin's fists hardened again and clenched tightly.

Although the royal nobles and the likes of Lani and Lenarra are of the same origin, they are all descendants of stargazers.

But over a long period of time, this clan has branched out into countless families, so there is nothing wrong with Alvin saying that the Caroline family insulted his family.

Just like Cao Zhi's seven-step poem -

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Human actions are determined by desire and reason. Human instinct constantly generates desires, while reason suppresses these desires. However, if the ability to think, which is the source of reason, is lost for some reason, people will become animals driven by desire.

And now, the heads of those royal nobles are filled with desires, and the string called rationality can no longer withstand the oppression and is almost about to break.

Whenever they encounter an opportunity, they will never let it go and will hold on to it tightly.

Even if this straw called opportunity is covered with thorns.

"So, what are you going to do, Mr. Alvin?"

"...I have already made full plans for this matter."

Suddenly, Alvin's eyes became deep, as if he was looking not at the magic academy, but at the boundless sea of stars.

"I plan to assist Her Highness Lani in restoring the royal family of Kalia, restoring the name of Kalia to the land of Lienia, and making that woman Caroline regret her whole life!"

"Entering the Magic Academy, negotiating with the higher-ups, and cooperating is just one of my steps!"

Oh, what a good ambition, and a strong character!

But, in the end, your main goal is to make Caroline regret her whole life, right?

Just as he was secretly complaining, Alvin's gaze turned to him again, "...Besides that, I also hope that Mr. Reinhardt can help me."

"Of course, the reward will not be small."

"Helping you? Mr. Alvin, that's not a funny joke."

Alvin's sudden invitation made his smile gradually freeze, turning into a polite smile, and even his tone became flat.

Then he put on a bear-like expression and said slowly, "As you can see, I'm just an unknown faded person."

"And I am not interested in the rivalries and conflicts among your royal families of Kalia."

Are you kidding? It was these Kalia royal family members who drove him out of Kalia Castle and away from Lani.

They even went so far as to issue a warrant and prepare to take Godwin away.

Do you really think he has the memory of a fish, remembering nothing and knowing nothing?

Even though that was his and Lani's plan, and even though he had a good feeling about this man named Alvin, that was all.

He was not interested in the trivial matters between the royal nobles and had no intention of interfering.

Life or death is none of his business.

But the determination in Alvin's eyes remained unchanged, and he said firmly, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Reinhardt."

"Don't be so hasty to reject Mr. Reinhardt. I can see that you are different from the other Faded Ones. Miss Melina beside you and Miss Ashmi who has already left are also very powerful. I'm afraid they are no less powerful than the Knight Kalia who once served the royal family."

"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, you should be..."

"Hey, you guys, come over here and register!"

Once again, Alvin was interrupted at the most crucial point.

The lackeys who had escorted Caroline away came back and shouted at them, their voices even drowning out Alvin's voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Alvin, I'm afraid we need to wait until the registration is completed before we can discuss this matter." Reinhardt shrugged helplessly.

"Well then, I hope Mr. Reinhardt will listen to me after we register."

It was very rare. This was the first time he saw Alvin showing such a strong and serious side. He had been gentle and easy-going when they met yesterday.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it after we finish registering."

Reinhardt waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and followed the magic apprentices to the registration place.

The registration process is very simple, and it can be said that there is no difference from the past. You only need to report your name for record.

As for background, no one ever asks.

In addition to Alvin, his identity as a royal noble of Kalia was also recorded.

However, there was a small accident when it came to Reinhardt.

"Name." The magic apprentice in charge of recording asked in an emotionless voice.

"Escanor, he's my follower, Burke."

"Um...what about you?"

"...Melina."

"Okay, here are your registration cards. Don't lose them. Someone will take you to the academy for testing shortly."

The person in charge of registration handed over a few so-called registration cards.

Rather than calling it a registration card, it's more like a scroll-like application form.

In addition to the name, there are also items such as talent and quality assessment, which are probably the tests to be conducted next.

However, Alvin froze in place when he saw the registration card in his hand.

"Mr. Reinhardt, you..."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Following Alvin's gaze, he happened to see the name column on the registration card. He immediately understood and explained with a smile, "Oh, that's what you're talking about."

"My full name is Reinhardt Escanor. I usually call myself Reinhardt when I'm out there, but I only use the name Escanor when I'm registering like this."

Of course, this is a lie.

It was just something he made up on the spur of the moment.

When Alvin repeatedly showed that he wanted to confirm his identity today, I already knew what this guy was planning.

It's just that I somehow learned the meaning of the name Reinhardt and his deeds.

Since such a guy can be found, then others can be found too, especially some old guys in the magic academy, who probably still remember the name Reinhardt clearly.

After all, he was the one who broke out of the academy alone with Teacher Se Lian, and those old guys couldn't have forgotten it.

So, he suddenly came up with an idea and decided to change his identity.

That’s why it’s recorded like this on the registration card.

Although this name has been used in the college's records, it is estimated that no one will remember it.

And judging from the effect, it seems pretty good. At least Alvin was dumbfounded.

"But... you're not... no, aren't you from Lienia? Aren't you the last of the Knights of Kalia?"

"Hmm? Are you telling some new kind of joke, Mr. Alvin?" He looked at Alvin in surprise. "I never said I was from Lienia. I came from outside the Mist Gate."

Hearing this, Alvin was completely dumbfounded.

Melina on the side also turned her gaze to him with an expressionless face.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, his eyes said it all, as if saying, "You are really mean-spirited. You are about to cheat me out of my money."

In response, he just gave a helpless look.

Being deceived can only be attributed to desire being greater than reason. Who made him pin his hopes on him? Moreover, if he wants to sneak into the magic academy, his identity must not be exposed first.

Otherwise, what's the point of infiltration?

Just learn from the three red unparalleled assassin Wang Ha, pick up the knife and chop him in.

At this moment, that familiar mocking voice rang out again: "Huh? What are you talking about? He's the Knight of Kalia? If he can be the Knight of Kalia, then I must be Radagon, the husband of the [Full Moon Queen] Lenara!"

"With his virtue, does he deserve to have the same status as the great Lord Mugram? Don't be ridiculous."

Well, well said. Don’t say it again next time.

Hearing this, Reinhardt's fists stiffened.

He almost wanted to kill the magic apprentice who insulted his mother-in-law, but fortunately he controlled his temper at the critical moment.

However, he had already written this person down in his little notebook.

There is still a long way to go. He will settle this account together with the guy who insulted his followers after he finds out the situation inside the academy.

The main point is to protect one's shortcomings. No matter whether what you say is true or not, I will deal with you first.

However, this rude man also provided him with a piece of valuable information.
