Karim was the king of the Kalo Kingdom, as well as Chen Heng’s ruler and Mary’s father.
If he really was controlled, then things would be quite troublesome.
If things went badly, they might have to face the entire Kalo Kingdom.
Even though Chen Heng did not think of the Kalo Kingdom as a big deal, it was best to avoid any conflict.
Of course, if Karim really was controlled, that would not bepletely bad for Chen Heng.
At the very least, he would have an excuse to act against the royal family and capture them.
Otherwise, with this world’sws, there would be no way of justifying it.
However, if Karim was being controlled, he would have a reason.
Sitting there, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought to himself.
“Viscount Hatim?” Mary’s voice once again sounded out.
Facing Chen Heng, she looked at him in concern.
“Please continue.” Chen Heng nodded.
“Very well.” Mary smiled and nodded, “After I suspected that father was being controlled, I immediately left Kalo Kingdom and hid.
“That was why I was able to make it to you alive.”
“You are very wise, Your Highness.” Chen Heng nodded in appreciation.
For Mary tod o this much under such dangerous circumstances, it was already quite good.
If it was Chen Heng, he might not have been able to do as well.
“The awakening of a Divine Bloodline not only brings about status, but also incredible talent.”
Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he looked at Mary and said, “Perhaps in the past, you were unable to walk this path, but that is not the case now.”
After awakening a Divine Bloodline, one’s talent would increase greatly.
However, meeting Chen Heng’s gaze, Mary gave a bitter smile and shook her head, “This is very difficult. Honestly speaking, back when I noticed the changes in my body, I felt some hope, hoping that I would gain great strength like you. However, reality is cruel.”
Mary sighed and said, “Even though I awakened a Divine Bloodline, I did not gain much power, and could not directly be a Second Ring Warlock like you…
“Only my body became a bit stronger, and I begun to be hunted down.
“If I had the choice, I would rather not awaken this Divine Bloodline.”
Even if it was awakening Divine Bloodlines, things would not always be the same.
After all, different people had different densities of bloodlines.
Compared to the Divine Bloodline in Chen Heng’s body, Mary’s bloodline could notpare at all.
Chen Heng was not too surprised by this.
After all, his situation was not normal at all.
His Divine Bloodline had not naturally awakened, but had been modified by the power of his Divinities, and had gradually awakened.
Following this, he had obtained much source energy through the simtor, causing his Divine Bloodline to be stronger and stronger.
This was not something that could be replicated.
For Mary, her Divine Bloodline had not brought her much benefits, and instead made her the target for the Dusk Church.
Looking at Mary, Chen Heng’s expression did not change as he said, “Now that thingsa re like this, there’s no use saying anything else. The most important thing is to make ns for yourself.”
“I would like to work together with you.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary fell silent for a moment before saying, “I want to use my everything in exchange for an opportunity.”
“Viscount Hatim…” She looked at Chen Heng earnestly, her cheeks bing a bit red, “Are you interested in bing Kalo’s new King?”
“You mean…” Sitting there and hearing Mary’s words, Chen Heng immediately understood her ns.
They chatted for a long time before Mary left this ce.
There, Orimo was already waiting. Seeing Mary walk out, he went up and asked in concern, “How did things go, Your Highness?”
“I was about half sessful…” Mary fell silent for a moment before giving a slight smile, “He is willing to work with us, but is not willing to marry me…”
“Why is that?” Hearing Mary’s words, Orimo felt quite surprised.
“I don’t know…” Mary shook her head.
Based on their n, she would work together with Chen Heng, and if he was willing she would marry him as the Princess.
Chen Heng’s status was not toocking—not only was he a descendant of a god, he was the sessor of the Hatim family.
Both of them had prestigious identities, and their marriage would be advantageous to them both.
From how Mary saw it, there was no reason for him to refuse.
However, in the end, he had rejected this proposal.
Thinking to there, Mary shook her head, feeling quiteplicated.
She was quite confident in her charms, and she had been the pearl of the Kalo Kingdom.
No matter if it was her status, bloodline or looks, she was someone desired by countless people.
Before today, she had never been rejecvted before.
“Fortunately, he still agreed to some of my proposals…” Looking at Orimo, Mary continued, “Even though he did not agree to marrying me, he agreed to help me be Queen. However, he expects an abundant reward.”
This at least gave her somefort—after all, Chen Heng had agered to help her.
With his power, she would not be so helpless.
It was just that it was a bit different to how she had nned it.
Thinking to there, she sighed and left this ce with Orimo.
Sensing that Mary and Orimo had left, Chen Heng silenltly got up and left./
Time gradually passed.
After that day, Mary would oftene to visit.
ording to their agreement, Chen Heng would be Mary’s teacher for now and teach her how to cultivate.
“You have Sorcerer and Knight talent, and you can choose either…” On a sparse field, Chen Heng looked at Mary as he spoke.
“How did you choose?” Mary asked Chen Heng in interest.
She had put on a close-fitting leather armour in preparation for training.
“How do you think?” Chen Heng aasked calmly.
“Based on what you know, you seemed to have chosen both…” Mary replied.
“Since you made this decision…” Mary thought for a moment, “Could I od the same?”
“Theoretically, yes, but I don’t rmend it.” Chen Heng said as he shook his head, “You have limited time, so concentrating your efforts will allow you to gain better results. This is especially given your current situation.”
Chen Heng looked at Mary as he reminded her, “For you right now, the most important thing is not to learn a range of things, but to gain enough power…”
The reason why Chen Heng could choose both paths was because he had experienced many worlds and lives, and had enough experience in both paths.
However, what was easy for him would not be the same for others, especially Mary.
“I understand…” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary’s expression became serious.
“I’ll choose the Sorcerer route then.”
“The Sorcerer route? That fits well with your identity…” Chen Heng nodded before walking to the side.
In this world, the Sorcerer route was the most noble profession, which suited Mary.
After all, she was a Princess, and having her swing a sword about did not seem right.
Following this, Mary followed Chen Heng to a certain room.
Within the room, Mary could see some young people diligently studying.
Many people held pen and paper in their hands, earnestly making notes.
What surprised her was that these young people all had a certain aura.
“These are all… Sorcerers?” Mary felt quite surprised.
Chen Heng only lightly nodded.
“This ssroom teaches the basics of Sorcerers. After you have finished studying here, I will take you elsewhere,” Chen Heng said softly.
“This is one ssroom… does that meant here are other ces?”
in this world, the nurturing of Sorcerers was extremely difficult.
If a noble wanted to be a Sorcerer, they would have to spend massive amounts of money to send someone to a Sorcerer Tower. Only after going through as a Sorcerer Apprentice for a long time would they be a qualified Sorcerer.
Without enough resources, a family would not be able to support one to be a Sorcerer.
However, what she saw waspletely different.
Sorcerers being taught in a ssroom like this was something that she had never seen before.
“If you have any questions, you cane and find me at lunchtime,” Chen Heng said calmly, “But take note, you only have 10 minutes of consultation time.”
This was already quite considerate of Chen Heng.
Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary nodded and slowly walked in..
