"Good, that's my student."
The guards who stopped her earlier were in complete shock. They had heard about Anna's rampant behavior. She didn't care about other people's lives.
They thought she was just a typical noble miss, but there was a huge difference between Anna and her father, Kevin.
Despite having a powerful strength and influence, Kevin still treated his employees well. On the other hand, there were already a few people who had died because they made a mistake in front of Anna.
Now that they had seen what truly had happened, they realized Anna had become this way because of her teacher.
She was the one teaching Anna of her current mindset. They couldn't help but wonder if the marquis had tried to do something for Anna since they weren't at the level where they were aware of the conspiracy between the marquis and the royal family.
Still, their job was to remain silent since they would die if they spoke anything wrong.
They didn't know Anna was different from the past. She had to do this just to fool her teacher.
Though, Anna also had her fair share of surprises.
While bowing her head to greet her, Anna felt her body become heavy. It took a lot from her just acting . At the same time, she could say all this as if it was her second nature.
The nature that had been ingrained by her teacher.
'As expected, even with my past memory and stronger willpower, it's still not enough to erase the nature that has been ingrained in my body. My body feels like shaking and becomes weak just from seeing her alone.
'Well, both in my previous life and this life, I still remember her teaching and can understand why the body is reacting.
'If that's the case, I should keep her with me for the time being so that I can get used to this pressure. After my body has grown accustomed, I will completely break free from her brainwashing. And that's where I will get my revenge.'
Anna couldn't help but remember the time when her teacher stabbed her in the back. She couldn't forgive her teacher, but at the same time, she had learned the reason from Noel.
Though, it was still something that a teacher should do to her own student.
Coupled with the fact that she had been brainwashing her from childhood, Anna planned to get the best revenge in the near future. But for now, she still needed her to be a guarantee if she wanted to investigate the royal family.
Anna paused for a moment before asking, "May I know the purpose of your visit this time, Teacher?"
Jose glanced at Anna and said, "Follow me to meet your father."
"Understood." Anna nodded without hesitation, following her. She thought, 'This has never happened before. In the past, because of my aptitude, I was training around this time. Though, I have now become a Spirit Wielder, so of course, I can understand there is a change. Whether it's a good change or not…'
Anna didn't continue her thought. However, she would make sure she could meet Noel every three months as promised.
Because she had been teaching Anna, she was already aware of the layout of the house. So, it didn't take long for her to arrive in Kevin's office.
Both of them looked at each other without leaving any sound. It felt like they were trying to challenge each other.
Of course, her father wasn't afraid of her, considering her father was also one of the Arbiters. However, the royal family made him an Arbiter just to give him enough benefits to stay on their side while they maintained the surveillance due to the friendship he had with Luke.
If her father and her teacher fought, Anna couldn't predict who would win.
"So, for what reason do you come here with such short notice? You even rushed to this place…" Kevin asked with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Aren't you the one who is so slow? You couldn't even greet me at the gate."
"This is my territory. With such short notice, I can claim that you're invading my territory. Do you really want to fight me?" Kevin narrowed his eyes.
"I don't mind, but… that's not what I come for." Jose glanced at Anna before pointing at her. "The Crown Prince has taken an interest in your daughter. Present your daughter to the King right away!"
In that instant, Kevin's expression became extremely cold. "Hoh? I have set the limit beforehand, and all of us have agreed on that. So, are they going to break the agreement we made at that time?"
"If Anna hasn't shown such explosive growth, that would be the case. However, it's a different case when she becomes a Spirit Wielder at the age of 16. With her strength and the royal family's influence, the kingdom will flourish. This is a win-win situation."
"I don't see any winning here, especially when they're planning to break the agreement." Kevin gritted his teeth, growing even more irritated.
"I'm simply giving you their message."
Surprisingly, the one who stopped the conversation was not Kevin but Anna.
Her tone was filled with annoyance as she grumbled. "No one is qualified to marry me. Even if the God is the one trying to match me with someone else, I won't follow it."
"…" Josephine narrowed her eyes. "This is not a place for you to butt in."
Anna smirked coldly before releasing her killing intent. "Teacher, you're the one who taught me, right? I'm different from anyone else. They should be grateful when I kill them. That's why someone as special as me doesn't belong to royalty. Unless he can unite the four kingdoms, he is not qualified to be my husband!"
"You…" Josephine widened her eyes, never expecting Anna to talk back . She thought she had completely ingrained her teaching in her body and mind, but it seemed that the training in the Demon Banner Army had changed her a bit.
"I have told you that this is not your place to butt in. If you don't marry the Crown Prince, you only have one route."
"Are you insane?" Kevin slammed the table while gnashing his teeth. "You're going to make my daughter an inquisitor?"
