Verna was the third in line to the throne, as well as the current King’s youngest daughter.

It was said that because of certain reasons, Princess Verna did not go out much and often stayed within the palace to keep her father company.

Moreover, because she shared both the same father and mother with Princess Olivia, they were quite close.

Chen Heng thought to himself.

From this, he suspected that Princess Olivia had invited him to this banquet not to test him but to see if he and Verna could get along.

“What are you thinking about?” Looking at Chen Heng, Verna felt somewhat curious.

“It’s nothing,” Chen Heng came back to his senses and looked at Verna with a slight smile on his face.

They continued to sit there and talk.

During that time, other women came up, hoping to interact with Chen Heng or dance with them, but they were refused by Chen Heng.

Chen Heng and Verna continued to chat, and they seemed quite happy together.

As Princess Olivia danced and chatted with other nobles, she continued to watch.

She did not do anything about this; she did not send anyone over to interfere and allowed them to do as they wished.

She had seen Chen Heng’s performance before, as she had been secretly hiding.

He was an absolute genius, and he was just a single step away from awakening a Life Seed at such a young age.

An ordinary Knight naturally was not good enough for the royal family, but Chen Heng was not a commoner.

His father was a noble in the south, and adding on the fact that he was Corripo’s student and could influence Corripo to a certain extent, which made up for his shortcomings in status.

If Knight Kailin did not have any other problems, then he would be a good match for Verna.

At the very least, things would not be too complicated.

Of course, this was still early on, and there was no need to make a decision so quickly.

Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the lively atmosphere died down and the crowd gradually dispersed.

“Looks like this banquet is about to conclude.”

Chen Heng looked around and looked at Verna as he smiled, “It’s getting late, I should be leaving too. I hope that we can still meet in the future.”

“You’ll come to visit me, right?” She bit her lips and lightly asked Looking at Chen Heng, Verna evidently looked quite reluctant to see him go.

Chen Heng stared for a moment before smiling, “Of course. I’m very happy when I’m with you, so I hope that I’ll still be able to meet you in the future, like I met you tonight.”

He gave a cheerful smile, “I will be thinking of you until our next meeting.”

“Mr Kailin…” hearing Chen Heng’s words, Verna paused for a moment and lowered her head, her face becoming red.

Even though those words sounded quite ordinary, to her, they sounded like a confession. They were like a beautiful poem that could move people’s hearts.

“I’ll also be thinking of you until we next meet,” she mustered up her courage and said shyly while looking at Chen Heng’s face.

……

“I hope that day won’t be too far away.”

Chen Heng smiled before giving a gentlemanly bow, “It’s getting late, so I’ll be leaving now. I hope you have sweet dreams tonight.”

…

“Are you alright?” outside the manor, Kelly walked with Chen Heng out, and looking at Chen Heng, he could not help but ask.

“I’m fine,” Chen Heng said as he smiled, “Even though Mader has a frank personality, fortunately, he did not go too hard on me. Otherwise, I’d be lying down right now and would not be chatting with you.”

“That wasn’t going too hard on you?” Kelly thought to himself hearing Chen Heng’s words.

The scene of Chen Heng fighting with Mader was still flashing in his mind.

In that terrifying fight, if it was him instead of either of the two, he would have been instantly sliced in half, and he would have had no chance at survival.

However, thinking of that battle, he remembered something and looked at Chen Heng as he asked, “Kailin, are you already… at that stage?”

“At that stage?” Chen Heng asked before realizing what Kelly meant.

He did not hide anything and lightly smiled as he replied, “Yes. Mr Corripo said that I’m able to awaken a Life Seed now and can try awakening it…”

Hearing this, Kelly could not help but give a light gasp.

“So it’s true…”

He felt incredibly shocked and did not know what to say.

A Knight was not as simple as just having a title.

During these times, when there was chaos and warfare everywhere, what determined a family’s power, apart from riches, was the number of Knights they had.

Only families that had true Knights could be counted as a true noble family.

That was the standard among noble circles.

As for noble families without Knights, they did not have any protection and could disappear at any moment. Often, they were destroyed by bandits who seemingly came from nowhere.

If Chen Heng could awaken his Life Seed and become a true Knight, his family’s standing would also soar.

Moreover, considering his age, it was not impossible for him to go even further in the future.

If he could become a Great Knight, then…

Just thinking of that made Kelly tremble

Great Knights already surpassed the bounds of the ordinary.

Even though ordinary Knights were powerful, facing the top-tier noble families, their statuses still paled in comparison.

However, Great Knights completely surpassed them.

Chen Heng’s teacher, Corripo, was a Great Knight.

According to what Kelly knew, in the entire Kutu Principality, Corripo’s status was second only to the King’s.

As for everyone else, he did not take them seriously at all.

It was said that back then, Corripo had once killed a thousand soldiers in a single night and slaughtered a Count’s entire family.

This matter still spread among the nobles, and no one dared to forget it.

If Chen Heng also became a Great Knight…

If Chen Heng really could do this, Kelly’s investment would greatly pay off.

Even his father and the rest of his family would take him more seriously.
