Sold to a Prince!-Chapter 204 Did I pass?

"So has she permanently moved here now?" Isaac grinned wildly.

"Shut up. Why do you have too much time on your hands anyway? Do I need to make a visit to a certain someone?" Roman rubbed his temples.

It has been two weeks since Sylvia agreed to train with him and ever since then he has not been able to shake off this persistent pest.

The worst part was that he didn't even have a valid reason to drive him away as he was only barely involved with the girl's training.

She was a natural at everything and the most he needed to do was maybe say a few things or point her to the right resources.

And with just that, she had already improved by leaps and bounds.

Sylvia sensed the presence of the two figures lingering near her and her eyes flashed open, her elegant and mesmerizing face revealing a brilliant smile like the bright sky after the parting of the rain clouds.

"Good morning, Lord Roman." She stood up. She was drenched from head to toe and the sweat was making her clothes stick to her slender figure, revealing all her curves.

Roman gulped and the next instant he turned to look at Isaac. "I think the council called you."

Huh? Isaac was confused but then he understood what was going on. He could barely hold his laughter in.

"I didn't hear anyone call me? And since when did your hearing become better than mine?" The man mercilessly chuckled.

Sylvia, however, had no idea what was going on but she was amused by the duo's bickering which happened almost all the time.

When she looked at them, she couldn't help but feel a bit lonely.

"How is the training going, princess?" Isaac bowed and asked.

"Lord Roman is a good teacher." Sylvia smiled. Her eyes flickered, changing from a luminescent silver to a bright golden, finally settling into their typical clear blue ocean color.

This time even Isaac couldn't help and the knot in his throat moved up and down. He had to physically shake himself out of the trance and move away.

"I think the council is calling me after all. Aha ha ha." He muttered something awkwardly and ran away.

"Hah?. Lord Roman, did something happen to Lord Isaac?" Sylvia chuckled softly. The man seemed to be very intent on bolting away from them as fast as possible.

"No. Nothing like that. He is just an idiot." Roman as well looked away and mumbled.

"Ha Ha. You both are very close."

"Ahem. I guess so? Cough. Cough. Shall we talk about your progress?" Google search f𝘳𝚎𝗲𝘸e𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃𝘦𝚕. co𝚖

"Yes!" Sylvia replied, barely containing her excitement. She had been waiting to show this to Roman as well.

She turned around to face the huge fountain beside which she had been meditating and then as her eyes flickered, she muttered a spell under her breath and the next second the entire fountain froze.

Water droplets that had been splendidly reflecting the light of the sun suddenly turned rock solid and dropped down as hailstones.

"So? So? Did I pass?"

"Umm..." Roman was speechless.

The truth was that she had passed in the first couple of days and her mana core had already achieved absolute saturation, pushing her to the peak of her strength.

She was now almost as strong as him in terms of raw strength and power. However, her magical knowledge was lacking and her physical combat needed to be honed.

And this had to be done whilst engaging in actual combat. Otherwise, she would never improve. The issue was that Roman was slightly hesitant to take this step.

He felt as if he was overstepping and doubted if his strength was sufficient in case something prowled into their path.

More importantly, the old man who was unwell right now might just come out of his dormancy and kill him in one hit.

But how much longer could he possibly hold back the draconian princess? Besides, she had taken a leap and trusted him and he didn't want to betray that trust at any cost.

"Yes, princess... but..." He racked his brain to come up with something more difficult for her to accomplish.

He paused for a moment as he didn't want to touch this particular topic, but it looked like he had no other option.

"Are you able to shift completely yet?"

Sylvia's bright face instantly wilted as this was the one thing that she hadn't been able to make any headway in. She didn't know why but her body was just not able to handle her shifting.

"No." Sylvia frowned and let out a small sigh. "Is it possible for me to learn stronger spells instead? I wouldn't need to shift anyways when I am using powerful spells."

"That is indeed correct, but princess, you are forgetting about your physical defense and your physical strength. Unless you shift, it would still be dangerous for you to head out."

Hearing Roman's explanation, Sylvia did not stress the topic any further. She went back to her secluded place to once again train and strengthen herself.

"Arise..." She muttered and her slender figure lifted up the ground, as the wind obeyed her command and swirled around her.

She then cast another spell, the fountain un-froze, and once again gushed like before, alive and radiant.

"Just a little while longer grandpa." Sylvia took a few deep breaths and this time she sat down in a cross-legged pose. However, she still remained afloat.

Massive amounts of mana swirled around her body and her mana affinity was no longer the same. Sylvia then silently continued training for the rest of the day as she had been doing for the past few days.

The process was somewhat dull and monotonous. Nevertheless, she wasn't bored for even a single second. She had yearned for this kind of strength and power for far too long to think of training as a mere burden.

Roman lingered around, watching her progress for a second and he then turned to walk away. He knew that it was time to have a conversation with the King himself.
