Who’s right Who’s wrong

It must be said that Ryan was still very displeased with that old guy.

The normal start date for the Royal Academy was the first day of September, which was three days later.

In other words, the old guy had originally planned to send him to the Royal Academy regardless of what happened or how he performed. This had all been decided long ago.

This fit the old guy’s image in his heart very well.

Arrogant, self-important, and disrespectful of others.

But since things had already come to this, Ryan could only complain in his heart.

How to make use of this situation was what he should be doing now.

But he had already handed over political affairs, so he could only stay at home doing nothing until he officially started school.

Study the textbook knowledge in advance and prepare for lessons?

Don’t be silly.

Ryan also agreed with the idea that going to the Royal Academy would help him increase his network and achieve a relaxed mood.

He had no interest in the school’s outdated, theoretical, and impractical knowledge.

At this time, he thought of his plan just now.

‘Why not start observing now? Anyway, I’m idle.’

Leaving the study, Ryan soon saw the golden figure, but instead of going forward, he silently observed her movements from a distance.

Now was the time after lunch. Some of the maids would help with cleaning in the kitchen, while the rest would take a short rest before starting cleaning again.

This rest time was a benefit that Flora had specially set up for the maids, considering that it was the hot month of August.

However, through the letter that Annie had sent to Ryan, Ryan discovered that Flora had first reviewed the documents, and then found a quiet place where others could find her if they needed her, but where she could also concentrate, and started writing reports and plans.

When the rest time was over, she returned to her normal work like everyone else.

She would do what ordinary maids had to do, and she did it very well.

She would also help guide what others couldn’t do.

She would also help with what others didn’t do.

She wouldn’t just do her own work.

If she saw something that needed help, she would go and help.

‘What a workaholic?’

Ryan couldn’t help but complain in his heart, but thinking carefully, he usually had some work that he couldn’t finish, so he didn’t go over and forcefully ask her to rest.

What made him a little concerned was the clumsy way the golden-haired girl would almost fall every half hour, or simply fall.

He had initially thought that Flora knew he was observing, so she had started her performance again.

But after listening to Yuri’s report, he learned that this was the golden-haired girl’s normal behavior.

‘Why didn’t you report this earlier?’

“I’m sorry… Your Highness Ryan.”

Yuri replied timidly.

Considering that Yuri was the youngest of the secret guards and lacked experience, Ryan sighed and transmitted his voice:

“What’s in the past is in the past. Next time you see Flora showing any physical discomfort, report it to me as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir!”

Yuri didn’t think this was an important matter, and Ryan could understand that.

After all, the golden-haired girl would quickly get up strongly after falling.

Moreover, Flora’s falling posture was also very standard, and the guardian deity could heal her very well.

Normal people wouldn’t think that a small injury was a big deal.

But Ryan was very clear that healing magic was limited.

Although diseases such as those acquired by Grace and Flora could be cured, congenital defects, continuous curses, and the like were beyond their power.

After all, healing is essentially “restoration” and “accelerated regeneration.”

This is the most common practice for most magicians who use healing magic.

The principle is to speed up the body’s own recovery speed, so that injuries that would normally take a week to recover slowly would recover in half an hour or a few minutes.

But the nutrition, energy, and vitality that the body would normally consume in a week would not be reduced at all.

Magic power and the level of the caster could make up for some of it, but more depended on the individual’s physical fitness.

There was once someone who suffered serious injuries all over their body and received poor-level treatment.

As a result, the injuries were healed, but the person also aged rapidly by decades and died within a few days.

That’s why Ryan was so angry at Flora for not cherishing herself and thinking that everything would be fine with healing.

In the real world, there are similar genetic or infectious diseases or defects like Flora’s…

These cannot be cured with magic, but can be treated with herbal medicine to alleviate or improve them.

So when Flora fell again, he quickly walked over.

“Flora, what’s going on with you?”

After saying this, Ryan regretted it a little. The tone of his words was really not good.

“I’m sorry,” Ryan said softly, “But I’m not… I won’t delay work, please rest assured!”

Sure enough, Flora misunderstood and was busy defending herself, seemingly afraid that she would be picked on, and then a certain decision made not long ago would be called off as a result.

‘Am I that untrusted?’

Ryan was a little depressed, but he had to admit that his openly observing Flora was indeed suspicious enough.

He quickly explained: “What I mean is, why do you look like you can’t control your body balance every once in a while?”

“Ah… it’s actually because I’m quite clumsy, my body is fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”

Ryan wanted to ask her to see the herbal medicine specialist at the mansion, but seeing the girl’s forced smile, he quickly dismissed this idea.

This was the expression she would show when she had something she wanted to hide.

It wasn’t that Ryan’s observation skills were so outstanding, but that Flora was usually very straightforward and sincere in many things.

With the contrast, her few expressions of wanting to hide something became obvious.

And Ryan had already decided not to explore things that Flora was unwilling to be honest about, so naturally he wouldn’t ask more.

But not asking more didn’t mean that he wouldn’t pay attention to important things.

After all, physical problems could be big or small. Flora said she was fine, but who knew what the reality was?

What if there really was a problem?

He had to guard against the secret that only a few people knew.

Moreover…

Then he could also help her cover up.

When others also had similar questions, he could help Flora dismiss others’ suspicions.

In just an instant, he immediately thought of makeup, disguise, disguise magic, and other possibilities, and began to think about how to avoid these methods being exposed.

“Your Highness, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work first.”

It wasn’t until Flora said this that he returned to reality from his reverie.

“Be careful.”

“I will.”

Watching the golden-haired girl walk away, Ryan suddenly realized that he had really changed.

He could actually say words of concern for others.

‘Is this really okay?’

Remembering that old guy who was always so cold and ruthless, Ryan couldn’t help but ask himself.

His goal all along had been to surpass the other party.

At the same time, he also knew very well that the other party had achieved unparalleled success…

He just hadn’t been able to protect his mother well.

You can’t have both fish and bear paws.

Maybe if he went to do it, he would only be worse than the other party.

Maybe the other party’s approach was the most appropriate.

Maybe this world should be so boring and unpleasant.

But for some reason.

When he thought of the comforting smile that the golden-haired girl had shown when she left just now, he inexplicably felt that he had not done anything wrong.

At least… He didn’t hate this approach.
