Chapter 68 The Real Teacher
With a puzzled look, Spitz asked Daisy, "Daisy, is this true?"
Daisy replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Schertz wondered to himself, "With her skills, why would she need someone else to protect her?"
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed, but he still decided to go find Qiao Xiao to find out what was going on. So he turned to Hai Rui and said, "I'm going to find the Queen." Then he left in a hurry.
Harry watched as Spartz walked away and called out anxiously, "Prince, come back! Your training isn't over yet!" But Spartz did not stop.
At this moment, the strong and robust Kaiya walked over, frowned, and said to Harry, "Harry, you are too harsh on the prince. You should know that this is not something a 13-year-old child should bear."
Hai Rui, however, insisted on his point of view and retorted, "But I am the prince's only teacher, and what I teach is correct."
Kaiya was a little angry after hearing this. He said arrogantly, "Don't talk about this. Hai Rui, you are only a level three swordsman. Do you dare to have a match with me?"
Hai Rui glanced at Kaiya with disdain and coldly replied, "You are not qualified and do not deserve to duel with me." After saying that, he ignored Kaiya and left alone.
Spartz stood in front of Qiao Xiao's door, raised her hand and gently knocked, "Your Majesty, may I come in?"
A gentle voice came from inside the door, "Please come in."
Schuberts pushed open the door and went in, seeing Qiao Xiao sitting at her desk flipping through documents. He walked over and sat down beside her, asking softly, "I heard you're going to select knights, why?"
Qiao Xiao smiled and explained, "Sipoz, my identity as a knight is a secret. Apart from you, no one in this country knows the truth. Therefore, I need a powerful knight to cover for me and protect me."
Spitz nodded in understanding, but couldn't help asking, "So this knight isn't your personal knight, right?"
Qiao Xiao found his nervous expression somewhat amusing and patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Of course not, Spitz."
Spoelstra was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "That's good."
Qiao Xiao smiled and said, "I haven't visited you at the training ground recently. Has your master arranged some kind of grueling training again?"
Spoelstra quickly shook his head, "No, I've been listening to you and taking good care of myself."
Qiao Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "Well done, Spitz."
Hearing Qiao Xiao's praise, Shi Boz felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face. "Thank you for your praise!"
For Spoelstra, praise and compliments were as unattainable as stars in the sky; they were the things he most desired but could never reach.
However, for Qiao Xiao, these kind words were as commonplace as everyday food. She always generously encouraged and praised Shi Bozi, making him feel that his efforts and contributions were seen and recognized.
Each word of encouragement was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating the dark corners of Schubert's heart and helping him regain his confidence and courage.
Qiao Xiao rubbed her temples wearily and said softly to Shi Bozi, "You can go now, I need to rest."
Schuberts replied respectfully, "Then I'll take care of my official duties now. You should get some rest."
Qiao Xiao nodded, then sighed and replied, "Okay, go ahead."
After Shi Bozi left, Qiao Xiao sighed softly and took out a picture from the book.
The figure in the picture is Eric—the hunter in "Snow White".
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What should I do? I don't even have a magic mirror anymore..."
Over the past month, her relationship with Spartz has gradually improved, but she still doesn't feel qualified to get close to her mother's belongings.
She knew that only with the passage of time could their feelings for each other deepen.
She secretly plotted to send a hunter to kill Snow White after his coming-of-age ceremony. All of this would ultimately lead to the prince's revenge. It was destined to be a tragedy.
But before that, the king must die.
Qiao Xiao sat there quietly, her expression complicated. She couldn't help but ask herself, "Am I really a completely bad woman...?"
The afternoon sun streamed through the window into the study, where Schubert sat at his desk, intently handling official business. Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence.
"Your Highness, someone requests an audience?" a male guard said.
Without looking up, Sporz replied, "Who?"
"Lord Hai Rui."
Spoelstra frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face, but he still calmly replied, "Let him in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Hai Rui walked in. His eyes held a hint of doubt and worry.
"Your Highness, why didn't you come to see me today?" Hai Rui asked bluntly.
Schuberts put down his quill, looked up at Harry, and said slowly, “Teacher, I need to handle state affairs. Although I long to be a knight, first and foremost, I am a prince. When my father goes on a tour, the queen cannot handle everything alone, and I must do something for her.”
Hai Rui's expression turned serious, and he said anxiously, "But the knight selection will begin in two months. With your current abilities, you are far from being a qualified knight!"
Spoelstra narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of threat and dissatisfaction: "I think whether I am qualified to be a knight is not for you to decide, Lord Harry?"
Qiao Xiao's care and guidance for Shi Bozi over the past month has been enough for him to understand what real training is.
The man standing before him at this moment, Hai Rui, was a man with strong selfish desires.
It's quite possible that he never truly loved himself.
Spohr: "My most respected teacher, you were the only one who reached out to me when I was in my most difficult time. Although you reprimanded me severely many times, I always believed that you truly wanted to help me."
Hai Rui's voice trembled with excitement: "Yes, Your Highness, that is indeed the case!"
Schubert nodded, then said calmly, "Well then, Lord Hai Rui, please return now. We'll discuss the training later. Soldiers, please see Lord Hai Rui off."
Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged Hai Rui out of the study.
As Hai Rui was dragged along, he shouted, "Your Highness, please don't forget your original intention! Don't forget that you wanted to become a knight!"
He didn't even glance at him; at this moment, his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness were on full display.
At this moment, in his heart, only Qiao Xiao was his true teacher.
