“You didn’t secretly teach her?”
“She said she self-taught.”
Garrett was astonished. “Seriously? Someone actually learned it? Since you becfamous with the twelve-hit

happens. No one ever had. Until Alice. The gaming world is still speculating about their relationship.
Jack tapped his fingers on the desk. She's smart and incredibly talented.” She’ll go even further than he did..
Alice arrived at the school gates after school. Her driver waited respectfully. She glanced at the infirmary before
getting into the car.

Entering the hall, Noah stood up. “You're back. Eat dinner. | had the kitchen prepare your favorites.”
‘T’ll eat in my room.”
Alice went upstairs. Noah told the butler to send a meal up.
The butler grumbled, “Sir, this shows Alice has something against Miss Chloe. People will think she doesn’t want

“Miss Chloe, you're too kind.”
Noah frowned. “Fine. If she doesn’t want to eat downstairs, then she doesn’t have to. As long as we keep quiet,
no one will know what's happening here.” The butler shut up. Chloe noticed Noah's change and grew more

Noah smiled, relieved. “The thought counts.” The porridge wasn’t as good as Alice's, but he ate sanyway,
missing Alice’s cooking.
Upstairs, Alice found her room had been rearranged. It bothered her, but she shrugged it off-she’d be moving

Alice’s patience had run out. She'd ignored things before, but speople pushed their luck. This
butler was one of them.
“Alice, what happened?” Noah rushed upstairs, seeing the spilled food. “Was the food not to your liking?”
The butler started to cry.“Sir, | tried to advise Miss Alice to eat with everyone, but she knocked. over the food
and said | wasn’t worthy to talk to her.”
Noah frowned. “Butler Davis, you weren't.”
The butler was shocked. Noah was actually siding with Alice!

She opened her gclient and saw the news:[Ball team invites King’s apprentice, Landing Team is stunned!]

Alice replied:[Master, is that you?]
[TStops]: “Whoa, my brother is playing with a girl?!”
John Wilson nearly fell off his chair!
