" Leo you are going to the magic academy alongside Eliza Rainheart, I am personally giving you the task to protect the princess. The choice is your's accept it or deny it". The emperor looked at Leo with a serious expression.
"What a sly old man"
"Alright your majesty".
" your majesty I would like something in return for protecting her highness". Leo looked at the emperor with smirk.
"hahahahaha, what bold young man. Speak what is it that you want".
" I don't expect to do any political work so your majesty don't drag me into politics".
Emperor's face lit up in amusement "your wish is granted ".
"what a cunning young boy, he stopped if any involvement about him comes then that could be realized as fake" the emperor smiled looking at Leo.
"Then when are we departing your Majesty" Leo asked with smile.
"You would be departing with Eliza tomorrow morning". Emperor said as he looked at Leo with a smile.
"Yes your majesty"
"you may leave now" the emperor Leo as he smiled.
Leo turned and left.
Looking at the fading figure Raven asked Arthur "father what do you think about Duke Leo".
"He is strong but not strong as me or the commander ,but I had this feeling both of us can't even land scratch on him". His face darkened.
Hearing this Raven's pupils contracted.
"father is an Peak EX rank powerhouse and the commander is a intermediate EX rank powerhouse, yet both of them couldn't even land a scratch on him". He gasped in a cold air.
Leo entered the Guest chamber and lay on the bed.
"Status".

"So to reach SSS one million stat points are not enough". Leo thought as his eyes met a Young girl looking at him from under the table and smiling at him.
"Your Highness what are you doing here".
Leo stood up looking at her with smile.
Eliza came out from under the table and replied "Sir Leo we are going to be class mates, so you can just address me as Eliz".
"Yes your Highness Eliz" Leo replied with a smile.
Eliza looked at him while pouting "no need for 'Highness' ".
"Okay your-" seeing her eyes tear up Leo changed it in split second "Okay Eliz".
"What were you going to do Sir Leo". Eliz asked with playful tone.
" What is Sir Leo gonna do, is he going to study magic or practice magic or martial arts". Eliz eyes sparkled with curiosity as her beautiful lip curled up into a crescent.
Seeing Eliza's smile Leo's heart fluttered and faces turned crimson "Wow!, what cute child".
" I was going to sleep" Leo replied as he looked at Eliza's smile.
Hearing this Eliza's Eyes started to tear up but she tried to hold back.
Seeing that Leo immediately replied " I will play with Eliza tomorrow".
"but aren't we going to academy tomorrow".
"It's no problem, we can play at the academy right" Leo winked at her with a smile.
Eliza's face turned bright crimson .
Leo Used mana and lifted her up to air "I will teach you many things so don't worry".
He landed her on the ground the next moment she ran away without even looking back.
"what a cute little girl". Leo looked at the fading figure and thought with a smile on his face.
Leo Lay on his bed and slept for eight hours.
~knock~
Leo opened his eyes answered "come in ".
A maid came in she had short black hair fair skin she looked to in her early twenties and she had black eyes.
" What is it". Leo asked the maid with a solemn expression.
"My Lord his majesty has summoned you for dinner". The said as she bowed a little with a poker face.
"lead the way" Leo ordered as he stood up.
They took 5 minutes to reach dining hall.
Dining was covered in painting and statues , and the table was so big that more then twenty people could dine at the same time and at the center was the emperor to his Left was Raven and to to his Right Was Eliza.
Leo sat opposite to Eliza and near Raven and said "Thank you majesty for inviting me for the dinner."
"This is Eliza Rainheart, she is the one you're looking after at the academy". Emperor looked Leo as he introduced Leo to Eliza.
"I know your majesty" as he said Leo looked at Eliza who was staring at him to suddenly get Eliza to flustered and her face turned crimson like an apple.
Seeing this emperor thought while eating "Is Eliz interested in Leo".
Raven looked at Eliza with a playful expression.
"Leo what are the subjects you are gonna take Magic, swordsman, archery, hand to hand...." Emperor looked at Leowith expectation in his like a father looking at his child.
" I was thinking of taking swordsmanship and magic". Leo replied with smile.
"Sir Leo is going to choose magic and swordmenship". Eliza's Eyes sparkled as she looked at Leo.
"Tomorrow we are going to take test at the academy, to determine our classes I am sure with my B rank strength I should be able to get to The highest class in the academy".
Eliza clenched her fist and with a look of determination in her eyes.
Seeing Eliza like that Raven started chuckle.
