Chapter 768: Queen's Day Off

Chapter 350 – Queen’s Day Off

(MC POV)

Guiying returned with a face full of smiles a while later with Alpha behind her, looking quite refreshed like she had just received some really good news.

"I'm assuming you got some good news? I asked, careful to keep my voice low since my girls are still having their hangovers.

My cute disciples finally recovered enough to start on their breakfast so I didn't want them to be disturbed too much. I wanted them to learn a lesson here, not suffer more than necessary.

The Queen grinned at me, "Yes Master. I figured out everything including what really happened that day!"

"Oh? Do tell."

"Hehe~ That was my uncle alright. It seems my family really is just a whole rotten bunch, I'm actually a little glad that they're all gone now."

I raised an eyebrow at her while lifting a cup of water to my lips, "That bad?"

"Mmhmm. Did you know my uncle cut off his own head and sent it to my mother to make us think he was dead?"

I almost choked on the water I was drinking.

"He what?"

The Queen nodded, "Oh I was surprised to hear it too. He managed to get a Practitioner to implant his soul in an innocent's body and switch places with him, then chop off his original body's head before sending it to us to make us think he was dead. What he didn't know was that his new body would eventually metamorphosize into his previous appearance anyway so he still needed to hide himself."

"That sounds incredibly convoluted for something that didn't work that well," I pointed out.

"Oh yes, that's because the Practitioner who helped him just wanted to scam uncle of his money before running off."

Huh… Kind of anticlimactic reason if you ask me. I wonder which guy had that much guts to try and scam a Royal?

The Queen continued, "Then uncle got himself and his few retainers involved in banditry to survive, forming their own group of them at the edge of the country. When he heard about the crisis the country had just gone through, he thought he could take over this place by force and establish a new base here."

I frowned," Wouldn't that bring even more attention to him?

Guiying poked her hands together, "Well… The truth is… No one from the Royal Family really uses this villa anymore… If uncle's plan had went the way he wanted, it might be a good long while before we even knew of what happened here. He could have also just used the ship to escape if we tried to come here and apprehend him."

Ah… No wonder she did not mind us using this place for as long as we wished and why the place kind of felt understaffed.

I frowned, "You're saying we invited bandits in here?"

She nodded, "Not to worry Master, he did not count on the fact that I had granted new staff here for your stay and each of them were proficient enough to double as both bodyguards and house servants. Alpha was key to subduing them."

I looked at the wolf yokai who had her head bowed to me, "So when all the staff were gone…"

"Apologies, Master. We did not want to alarm you but we needed everyone to subdue those bandits. Please forgive this one."

"What happened to them?"

She smiled at me, "They are unharmed, Master. Merely tied up and locked in the stables."

For them to do that against armed bandits so easily and without the rest of us knowing, this group of servants must be especially skilled. To think the very same people who had been serving us hand and foot all this while were also trained fighters, how interesting.

Brendan must be thinking the same thing since he gave me a look similar to mine.

My other disciples don't seem to be paying much attention since they were still stuck with their hangovers, their heads mostly bowed down and groaning to themselves.

Cai Hong was, of course, not interested in what Guiying was saying and instead handed me an unbuttered toast with sparkly eyes.

"So what do you intend to do with them?" I asked, helping my loli dragon butter her toast before handing it back to her.

"They will be arrested, naturally," Guiying stated calmly. "Probably either executed or banished since uncle is no longer considered a noble and will be treated like a common bandit. What's more, he technically 'posed' as a noble too, so I would say the sentence for him would be execution."

"Interesting… This basically means there's no other person related to the Royal Family aside from your Highness, am I right? No more long lost cousins, siblings or other relatives?" I pointed out.

The Queen actually blushed, "Umm… If… If Master… I mean… If Master would like to and my senior sisters don't mind… Marriage is too presumptuous of me… But maybe if I could formally indoctrinate Master as a member of the Royal Household?"

I shook my head quickly, "I apologize your Highness, but I am happy where I am now. Even being called a Royal Tutor is a little excessive to me when I can claim no credit for teaching you."

She bowed her head slightly, "Master truly is too humble."

"Not at all," I denied. "Now I'm sure you are hungry so why not join us for breakfast?"

"Oh! Don't mind if I do, Master!"

Alpha immediately set up the table for our new guest, the Queen choosing to sit next to me right beside Lian Li with a contented expression on her face.

At this point, she finally decided to address the elephant in the room.

"Ummm… Master? What happened to them?" She inquired, not at all holding back her voice.

Lian Li hissed at her before going back to clutch her head, groaning in pain.

"Don't mind them, they're just learning about the consequences of their actions," I grinned.

"I… I see…" She muttered, a little surprised at how Lian Li had reacted.

I reached over to pat my golden haired disciple's head, Lian Li purring slightly at the touch and leaning into it.

At the same time, I turned asked the Queen, "Would you be staying for long here?"

"Mmm… I made preparations to be gone for the day, but I'm afraid that I would need to return back with my uncle when tomorrow comes. As much as I would like to get better acquainted with Master, I'm afraid fate does not allow it at this time."

"That's alright," I consoled her with her own headpat. "We'll just have fun today. Just see it as a day break from your work."

"Ehehe… Of course Master! What would Master like to do? Admittedly, this is also my first time here in a while too, so Master would be more familiar with this place than I am."

"Hmmm… I guess we could decide that after breakfast."

"Yes Master!"

I guess I should also probably heal my disciples after this, no need to prolong their suffering more than they need to.

Then we can start enjoying the rest of the day with our plus one.

It's kind of weird to think the Queen is actually on vacation with us right now.
