"What are you laughing at" Eliza started pouting at Raven.
"It's nothing Eliz" he didn't stop chuckling.
Seeing this her eyes started to tear up.
Seeing all this Leo started to chuckle "Your Highness don't make the child cry".
Hearing this Eliza's face turned red and she intensifies her pouting "I am not a child!".
"Yes your Highness, you are not a child but an intelligent child". Leo didn't stop chuckling .
Raven also didn't stop chuckling.
She stood up and started to turn away " I am not eating..!".
Leo's eyes glowed red causing the princess to float. "Princess we won't laugh, you can sit and eat now". He smiled at her.
Seeing all these from the sidelines emperor smirked glancing at Leo and Eliza.
All of them ate their dinner and went to their chambers.
Leo lay on the huge bed looking at the ceiling " I don't think there are going to be any children above A rank, then why does the Emperor want me to protect the princess"
" Is the princess threatened, or is it an internal conflict within the empire".
" I will see what happens tomorrow" Leo Closed his eyes and slept.
The sun rose and the light hit Leo's face waking him up.
Leo Stood up and went in the bathroom and after ten minutes he exited after taking bath and changing into red noble shirt and pants.
"This shampoo and body wash has quite the fragrance" Leo thought as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Leo looked towards his Left and muttered "So intuition was right, So the princess is being targeted."
Leo Extended hand towards the assassin and clenched his hands.
~thud~
[Ding.... Killed human stats acquired 285,000]
[ Stat multiply... 100]
[Stats acquired..... 28,500,000].
"Looking at the stat points I acquired they sent an S rank assassin". Leo looked at the system prompt as he thought.
"[System shop]".
The blue translucent panel appeared in front of him, he pressed the items option and browsed it. "I should promote Eliz if I can".
After browsing for sometime he saw a category 'Promotion dans'.
"So there is such items in this world , what rank is Eliza I don't even know I should ask her ,and get her one of these". Leo's thought's were interrupted by a knock on the door.
~knock~
"Come in".
The same maid that came yesterday entered the chamber and bowed respectfully "Sir Leo the breakfast is ready and everyone is waiting for you".
"Lead the way".
"Why is their movements visible even though an assasin entered the palace's perimeters, or is it they making it look like such a thing never happened". Leo thought as the maid led the way to the dining room.
As they reached a rich mouth watering steak smell came from the dining room.
"Hi Sir Leo" Raven and Eliza waved their at Leo.
The emperor looked at Leo and smiled.
Leo sat down at the seat facing towards Eliza and left side to Raven.
Leo looked at the emperor and spoke in a serious manner "it looks like an assassin entered the palace's perimeters".
"mmh". The emperor was solemn.
"So who is behind it" Leo's eyes glowed bright crimson.
"Leo that is for you to find, the moment you find the culprit you are allowed to kill them" The solemn Emperor's voice became domineering, his golden eyes glowed.
Suddenly the entire palace was enveloped in a thick killing intent, sensing this every knight came running in to the dining hall.
Raven face darkened and the emperor looked at Leo at him with a grin on his face.
Eliza looked at her brother and the knights whose faces were dark.
"what happened brother" her face saddened.
Leo retreated his killing intent, Raven Breathed uncontrollably, majority of the knights fell on their knees moment killing intent retreated back.
Leo waved his hand throwing all the knights out of the dining hall.
"This young boy has become even stronger compared to the last time". Emperor looked at Leo with a smile.
Eliza looked at Leo with her brows slightly raised and her head tilted. "What just happened".
Leo relaxed and started enjoy breakfast, after eating both of them departed.
In the Carriage----
"Sir Leo what rank are you" Eliza looked at Leo as her sparkled with expectation.
"You can say I am the strongest in our generation" Leo replied with a smile.
"What rank are you Eliz" He asked with a smile.
"I am not that strong compared to Sir Leo but I should be one of the strongest in our generation". She spoke as she put her hand on her chest with a smirk.
"What is your actual rank".
"B rank". She said proudly.
"[System shop]".
Leo fastly browsed through [Promotion Dan] and selected [Promotion Dan (Rank A)] (5,000 SP).
[Promotion Dan (Rank A): this pill helps a B rank to advance A rank with no side effects].
A blue pill appeared in Leo's hand and he handed it to Eliza.
Eliza tilted her head "What is this Sir Leo".
"this will help you advance to A Rank".
Eliza took the pill from Leo and carefully looked at it "will it truly let me advance".
Leo noded.
She looked at the pill and Leo taking turns from one to another.
She swallowed the pill instantly energy surged into her body engulfing Eliza entirely, it didn't stop until they reached four minutes away from the academy.
Meanwhile Leo Opened his status panel.

"I still didn't reach SSS RANK, so the threshold for SSS is even higher huh....".
Eliza opened her eyes " I actually advanced to A rank".
The carriage stopped and door opened both of them descended from the carriage.
"Look it's the princess, who is that with the princess" the people around started to chattering.
One of the boys in crowd said " I heard from my father someone our age was actually promoted to the rank of duke".
Hearing all the chattering Eliza's smiling face darkened "what a head ache" she was not like the cute princess but a cold ice queen.
Leo smiled at the crowd and whispered to Eliza "do you want to see something interesting".
Eliza nodded slightly.
Leo waved his hand paving a way like splitting up sea, and forcing them on their knees.
