Rhine and the 12 Witches, accompanied by Princess Aurora, traveled to a small town outside the capital.
Using an illusion spell from one of the Witches, they subtly altered their appearances to avoid being recognized.
Time flew by, days passed one after another.
The Witches took turns caring for the Princess, while Rhine remained by Aurora's side, occasionally listening to wishes from afar, either teleporting to fulfill them before returning, or summoning birds and nature spirits to complete the tasks for him.
During the day, Rhine was the Princess's tutor.
In the evenings, the Witches took turns instructing the Princess.
Princess Aurora grew older day by day.
She was unaware of her noble and distinguished status, yet all blessings manifested in her.
She was intelligent and beautiful, loved by all; her learning speed was astonishing, and she had a photographic memory.
Her body was always healthy, as if a gift from the gods, tireless.
—To maximize the potential of this blessed body, Rhine specifically designed a set of "scientific" exercise routines.
After seeing Rhine's training plan, which was centuries ahead of its time, the Witches also expressed sentiments centuries ahead of their time: "This is child abuse!"
"She doesn't get tired or sick anyway. What's wrong with exercising 12 hours a day? I've already deducted time for eating and sleeping."
"Why are you looking at me? Wasn't 'perfectly healthy body' the blessing you bestowed?"
Rhine tried to defend himself.
Even in magic, Princess Aurora also showed some talent. Although not as gifted as Rhine, she truly surprised the Witches.
In this world, people with enough talent to learn magic are one in a million!
Most people, even if they studied hard their entire lives, could not cast the simplest spells.
From time to time, Rhine and the Witches would (using funds provided by the King) hire teachers with expertise in different fields to teach the Princess knowledge in astronomy, geography, mathematics, history, natural history, and more.
Every teacher was at least once startled by the girl's almost photographic memory and intelligence.
Of course, even the most imaginative teacher could not guess:
This clever, polite, well-behaved, and lovable little girl in front of them was the Princess from the bards' legends, the one who was supposed to be "forever imprisoned in the deepest part of the palace"!
During the teaching process, this young girl displayed an adorable sensibility beyond her age—
Though she was very young, she seemed to possess an enchanting charm; every rise and fall of her voice evoked pity and made one want to impart all knowledge.
Several times, teachers would rather not charge—and even offered to pay—just to get another chance to teach Princess Aurora.
After the little Princess with the photographic memory successfully completed a course, how to politely dismiss the corresponding teacher became a headache for Rhine and the Witches.
"Please, your child is a mathematical genius. I don't want money; please let her be my sole disciple."
"Go, go, go. Don't think I don't know you taught everything you could last week and dragged it out for a whole week. Now it's more like the child teaching you."
"Alright, alright. It's fine if your child becomes my teacher!"
"Scram!"
"…"
After sending off another hired private tutor, Rhine covered his forehead and sighed:
"Is this the extraordinary charm bestowed by the blessing? It's too terrifying; this captivating allure is completely on the level of an anomalous meme."
Indeed, Rhine had to admit that his current appearance also possessed an ethereal beauty. But Princess Aurora's extraordinary charm came directly from the dual blessings of "appearance" and "voice," which was almost supernatural and something he could not simulate at all.
Princess Aurora is only 7 years old now, and her extraordinary charm has already reached this level.
What will happen when she grows up!
Compared to the native Witches, Rhine, who came from another world, could most profoundly understand the terrifying power contained within Princess Aurora.
On the internet, this power is often called "Succubus," primarily characterized by captivating everyone regardless of gender or age, and commanding universal response in desperate situations."
"King, your kingdom has an heir! With such a commander, how could the army not be victorious? With such a monarch, how could the nation not be prosperous?"
…
Many days later, Rhine decided that Aurora had undergone sufficient training and her body was strong enough, so it was time for her to formally learn combat techniques. Thus, he hired a Master Swordsman for the little Princess.
On Earth, swords were not particularly excellent battlefield weapons; their reach was inferior to long weapons, and their armor-piercing capability was inferior to blunt weapons.
But in this extraordinary world, swordsmanship was the strongest and most versatile martial art!
The Master Swordsman, the most famous Master Swordsman in the kingdom, served as the little Princess's sword teacher.
His martial arts were unrivaled in the kingdom, and he naturally held himself in high regard.
If not for the help provided by the King, it would have been impossible to invite this Sword Saint, renowned throughout the kingdom, with money alone!
"I never expected that the King himself would summon me and command me to teach swordsmanship."
"The King's expression is so solemn; I wonder which brave warrior requires my guidance?"
Upon receiving the King's secret appointment, the Master Swordsman couldn't help but fantasize.
Could it be a courageous general commanding the kingdom's army?
Or a formidable figure in the King's guard?
