Lucika looked at Sino with an extremely annoyed expression.
"I am Princess Alexia's secretary; I can command the Daybreak Knights. Do you believe I can have you arrested!"
"No!"
Lucika became even angrier at his words.
She had only intended to scare Sino into apologizing.
She hadn't expected him to completely disregard her.
"You! You! You!"
Lucika wanted to say some curse words, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any.
Lucika was the second daughter of a marquis's family, similar to Christina, and was strictly disciplined, completely unfamiliar with curse words.
Sino reached out and patted Lucika's head.
"You're finished! I'm going to tell Princess Alexia, and you're doomed!"
"Really? You seem to have forgotten something?"
"Oh no, Princess Alexia asked me to call you over. Will Alexia be angry if I'm late? Come with me quickly!"
Lucika reached out and pulled Sino, wanting him to follow her.
But she couldn't move him at all.
"I'm not going!"
Sino suddenly felt no desire for Alexia today, so he didn't plan to go find her.
"How exactly can I get you to come with me!"
"Call me Daddy!"
"Impossible, you're too much!"
"Too much? Not really! Alexia has called me that before!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could Princess Alexia call you that?"
"These days, no one believes the truth anymore!"
"A plain Magic Swordsman like you only has an overly vivid imagination! Hurry up and come with me, or else..."
Lucika wore a mischievous smile.
"You wouldn't want others to know what you just said, would you!"
Lucika pulled out a recorder.
"In case you haven't seen one, I'll tell you! This is a recorder made by Mitsugoshi Company; it can record any sound nearby. What you just said has already been recorded by me."
"If you don't want others to know what you just said, then do as I say!"
Lucika believed she had gained the upper hand.
At this moment, she suddenly saw Sino holding and fiddling with a recorder as well.
Lucika felt the recorder in her hand had lost its weight at some point.
She turned her head and saw that she had no recorder in her hand; it had disappeared at some point.
"Give it back to me!"
Sino played the most recent recording on the recorder.
"Lucika, you did very well!"
Princess Alexia's voice came from the recorder.
"How do you know how to use Mitsugoshi Company's advanced recorder?"
"I participated in its manufacturing, so of course I know!" Sino replied.
"Bragging. How could an ordinary-looking man like you be involved in Mitsugoshi Company's creations! Give me back my recorder quickly!"
Lucika looked very anxious.
"I feel like you just changed the subject. Why is Alexia's voice here?"
"It's Her Royal Highness Princess Alexia! You are not allowed to call Her Highness by her name."
This was a recording Lucika had made when Alexia praised her.
She had recorded an entire day's worth of audio and then used another recorder to capture this specific sound bite.
When night fell and all was quiet, this sound would accompany Lucika through a wonderful night.
Because Lucika admired Princess Alexia so much, she cherished even a single compliment from Princess Alexia.
Lucika would never tell Sino about such a thing.
"Didn't you just say you recorded something? Where's the recording?"
"None of your business!"
Lucika had completely lied to Sino just now, believing that with her intelligence, she could easily deceive him.
"Lying and getting angry! Never mind, I won't bully you anymore!"
Sino clicked the record button on the recorder.
"Alexia called me Daddy!"
Sino turned off the recorder and handed it to Lucika.
"I've given you the evidence; do whatever you want! I'm going back to the classroom first!"
Lucika stared blankly at Sino, who was about to leave.
She didn't understand why Sino would do that.
"Could it be... he's not very smart?"
For a moment, Lucika had guessed that Sino and Alexia had some special relationship.
But the next moment, she dismissed it.
She would rather believe Sino was a girl than believe Sino had a good relationship with Princess Alexia.
As Alexia's personal secretary, Lucika had never seen the two interact.
Since she hadn't seen it, it meant it didn't exist.
But then she remembered why Alexia had called her over.
"Wait, don't go!"
Lucika blocked Sino's path.
"Be a good boy, come with your big sister! Big sister will give you candy!" Lucika said to Sino in a coaxing tone.
Sino's recent actions made her think he wasn't quite normal.
"Are you treating me like an idiot?"
"How did you know... No, I'm not."
Lucika accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
Lucika and Sino were currently at the east staircase of the academy building, where most students rarely went upstairs.
Now, there were only Sino and Lucika.
"I think I should teach you a lesson!"
"Don't come any closer! I am Princess Alexia's secretary!"
Lucika retreated step by step, suddenly bumping into something soft behind her.
She turned her head and saw it was Princess Alexia.
"I bumped into Princess Alexia's..."
Lucika's face flushed crimson just thinking about it.
"Lucika, what's wrong?"
Alexia gently shook the rosy-faced Lucika.
"I'm fine, just too happy!"
"Then go rest for a bit!"
Alexia's gaze turned to Sino.
"That Lucika, you must really like Princess Alexia, right!"
"I, I, I... I don't!"
Lucika's ripe red face already revealed everything.
At this moment, Alexia also looked at Lucika.
"You really don't like her?" Sino asked again.
"I like her..."
Lucika said very softly.
"That's good then!"
Lucika looked at Sino, not understanding the meaning of his words.
"Alexia! Call me Daddy!"
"Now? Here? My subordinate is still here; it's not appropriate, is it?" Alexia said with some hesitation.
Sino said nothing, only looked at Alexia.
"I..."
Lucika watched the scene unfolding before her, completely unable to understand why her most respected Her Royal Highness Princess Alexia would respond that way.
