Weapon seller in the world of magic Chapter 196

Just like every day, at 8 a.m., Allen had visited the Lin Mansion, although this time, it wasn't for a sparring session.

Usually, he would be allowed to get in but today, he was stopped by one of the guards, stating that the young miss is currently busy.

Allen was a little bit surprised and enquired with them.

The gatekeeper named Wan Fa was acquainted with Allen, and he knew the relationship between him and the heiress. So, he didn't dare to ignore him and replied in rather a polite tone, "Master Allen, earlier, a while ago, the princess had stopped by and both of them were busy with sparring. So, it might take a while. Should I go and inform the young miss?"

Allen nodded, "please do so. I cannot afford to spend time waiting. My master doesn't like it."

"Alright," The guard also knew that this master he was talking about is the mysterious owner of Genesis, the Cerberus Slayer, and the hater of nobles. Even if it appears like Allen is bragging about his background which he doesn't, the guard didn't mind his tone and went into the residence to inform them.

Roughly, after a minute, he returned and informed him that he can go. The gates were opened and Allen stepped in.

Soon, he reached the training ground where both of them appeared to be waiting for him as they stopped their spar.

"Greetings, Sister Xue" "Greetings, Your Highness"

He greeted them with a bow while cupping his fists, following the etiquette of a martial artist. It was actually taught to him by none other than Lin Xue.

"What brings you here, Brother Allen? I told you that today's sparring session is canceled, right?" Lin Xue asked him in curiosity.

"I'm here with a message sent by my master," Allen replied to her before he glanced at the princess and said, "I was supposed to visit the Imperial Palace to give a message to her Highness too but since you were here already, I will pass the message and return."

"What is it?" asked the princess.

"First, to Sister Xue." Allen shifted his attention to Lin Xue and said, "My master invites you to our home for lunch."

"Eh? Lunch?" Lin Xue was a little bit taken aback by Mark's lunch invitation. But, isn't it inappropriate to accept it from an unmarried man if the location is his home? Does this mean Lu Zhen is trying to woo her? Since when did he develop an interest in her, anyway?

If he was, he wouldn't have rejected the deal proposed by her. Wait for a second, the deal…

For a second, she misunderstood Mark's intentions but then, something clicked on her mind. First of all, it might not be a one-on-one lunch. Second, Mark seemed like the type to use that time to make some sort of deal.

Lin Xue then wondered whether he plans to talk about how to save Song Yue.

After thinking briefly, she nodded, "Alright, I will be there but Princess Jiao will also join me."

Allen stayed silent for a while, informing Mark about it. After he received a reply, he nodded, "My master says that he accepts the condition."

As Lin Xue was satisfied with his reply, the princess was surprised, "since when did you talk to Mr. Lu? I didn't see you taking out any communication talisman."

Lin Xue explained to her right away, "Brother Allen has some sort of telepathic connection with Owner Lu. Maybe, it's part of their soul contract. I don't know many details about it but they can converse without the need of external talismans."

"I see… no wonder," Shang Jiao glanced at Allen once again and thought of Alina. She felt like that busty woman also made a soul contract with her brother and became his servant. That is probably why this pair of siblings will never object to Mark's decision.

But then again, unlike Lin Xue, she didn't think it was too much or anything, not because Mark is her brother but it is because she is a member of the Imperial family and even her family has imposed such contracts on some imperial guards to ensure their loyalty.

However, even in such contracts, it is next to impossible to communicate telepathically. It was only possible with the beasts. Of course, this was the case with normal people. So, she was curious about how her brother achieved it.

Just when she was impressed by the advantages brought by telepathic communication, Allen looked at her and gave her a shocking message.

"Secondly, my master wanted to remind the princess about her training with Chimera SGM. As she didn't take permission for absence and failed to attend the appointed time, she has to carry the Chimera SGM and run 20 laps around the Genesis training ground without the usage of ether energy. I was ordered to monitor the punishment."

These words once again hit the princess about the reality that she was currently living in. She remembered Mark's words and realized that he really meant it when he said he won't treat her like a princess.

As a spoiled princess, she grew up being pardoned for most of the mistakes she had done.

The death of her subordinates isn't a small thing. So, she was ready to take the responsibility but getting punished for not attending the training?

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

Shang Jiao's face reddened in anger.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't displeased but what can she do? She promised her mother that she'll put up with Mark and try to get closer to him before telling him the truth.

Shang Jiao clenched her fist and released it. After doing it a few times, she calmed herself and said, "Alright, I will do it."

"Are you serious?" As a trace of surprise appeared on Lin Xue as she looked at the teenage princess, Allen continued, "And also, the princess had to attend to her duties as a part-time employee of the store. She had to complete the punishment and start working from 9 o'clock. So, there are only 42 minutes left. Coming late to the work is the same as insubordination and my master warns that there will be an extra punishment if the princess won't show up to work in time.

In case the princess isn't interested to accept the punishment given by her superior, she doesn't need to learn anything or work in the store any longer."

After passing the respective messages, he didn't wait any longer and excused himself to return home. After all, he needed to assist Alina to make a variety of dishes for the lunch.

Once Allen is out of sight, Lin Xue patted her shoulder with a sigh, "Of all the people, you had to work under that demon. Your father has indeed given you a cruel punishment."

She was usually cold to everyone but as she treated Shang Jiao like her younger sister, she sympathized with her but the latter didn't take her words kindly.

Shang Jiao swatted her arm and defended Mark, "It isn't your business, Sister Xue. So, stop judging my situation with your personal feelings involved in it. Mr. Lu might have shown unrestrained behavior towards the nobles but he is a hundred times better than a person like Uncle Song who is using his own daughter for his political ambitions."

"Well..." Lin Xue was stumped for a moment.
