Meanwhile, at the Royal Academy of Saltstar City...

Vicente was now standing next to Nina, Eve, and Newton, but also a brown-haired young man the same age as Nina, who was a classmate and friend of hers.

Next to him was a well-dressed old man with High-level Mage cultivation, who was supposed to be this boy's uncle.

Shortly after attending the academy director's lecture on what the students' guardians should expect this year, they met while going to enroll the two in their respective electives.

When she met that young man, Killian Miller, Nina couldn't help but seize the opportunity to finally introduce her brother to her good friend.

"So you're the friend I've been hearing about more and more often?" Vicente looked the young man up and down while Eve smiled bitterly, seeing Vice's jealousy towards Nina.

Nina didn't understand what her brother was doing but stood silently behind him while Vicente squeezed one of Killian's hands.

Killian's old uncle understood the situation very well, but he could do nothing.

'You went to get close to a girl who is the sister of someone so strong and powerful... Now you can only take it, ' this old man thought to himself as he smiled. 'I can't protect you today. Even your father wouldn't do that if he were here.

"Yes, Nina and I are good friends," Killian said as he looked sternly into Vicente's eyes.

But while he seemed fine, he couldn't help thinking how strong this person in front of him was.

'What kind of monster does Nina have for a brother? He looks stronger than my father!' Killian thought to himself, for the first time having the opportunity to come face to face with Vicente Fuller.

"Is that so?" Vicente asked before adding. "Then let's hope you stay that way.

You know, Killian, Nina is very important to me. I would slowly flay and kill anyone who hurt her." He said. Meanwhile, the people on the outskirts of that area, where many young people and their guardians were doing their duties, turned their gazes to them.

"To be by her side, one must be committed to protecting and sacrificing oneself for her. One has to treat her like a queen and ask my permission before doing anything irreversible..." He said in a suggestive tone, imagining this young man would soon feel his hormones kick in and think the wrong things.

Vicente wanted Nina to have a family, but not just anyone could marry her. That didn't just depend on strength or talent. It had to do with commitment, loyalty, fidelity, and the ability to win his approval.

She would be free to choose her date, but Vicente would watch such an individual closely and not take him lightly!

"I understand. Nina deserves all this." Killian bitterly said as he looked into Vicente's eyes, not noticing the group that had just arrived in the area, attracting the attention of the people in the surroundings.

While Vicente only had Killian in his eyes, Lina Seidel and her group couldn't help but stare in silence at those two for a moment.

'Your Highness?' The old man next to her thought as he looked at Killian. 'Why are you being pressured by Vicente Fuller?

'Little brother...' Lina looked at Killian, who was actually the youngest prince of this empire, who was using a false name while studying in Saltstar City.

The old man, Killian's 'uncle,' noticed the arrival of that group and alerted his young master. "My nephew, Mister Fuller seems to have some people who want to talk to him. Let's not bother him anymore."

Killian looked back and saw his older sister standing there while several royal guards stood around.

"That..."

Vicente looked back, annoyed at having his moment disturbed by someone.

When he looked back, he saw the face of the beautiful princess, whom he had seen in Millfall before through the eyes of one of his men at the event where the Staples family had won the title of Viscount.

The old man next to Lina murmured to her. "That's the boy we saw months ago in the capital, Your Highness."

"Vicente Fuller..." She murmured as she looked at this tall, strong, and powerful man in front of her, momentarily ignoring her little brother to look at Vice.

"Your Highness," Vicente commented before using one of his hands to stop Killian from running away. "I was just finishing teaching this brat a few things. Can you give me a moment? You must be interested in talking to me, but I have serious business with this boy."

The royal guards there narrowed their eyes, watching Killian smile as Vicente touched the third in the line of succession.

Lina smiled and asked. "Has that young man done anything to you?"

"Not yet. But I'm making sure that doesn't happen." Vicente said as he looked at Nina.

Lina looked at the pretty black-haired girl, who was the same age as Killian.

She and most of her group understood what this was about.

'What are you planning, little brother?' She looked at Killian as the young man looked away.

"I understand." She closed her eyes and smiled as she approached Vicente and Killian.

But then Nina said. "Big brother, stop playing with this. Killian is just my friend."

"Is that right, Killian?" Lina asked.

"Yes, yes, I have no bad intentions," Killian said to Vicente.

"Then I guess that's settled, huh?" Lina patted her brother on the shoulder, slowly pulling him away from Vicente. "This young man doesn't seem malicious, Mister Fuller. Give him a chance."

Vicente ignored the princess and said, looking at Killian. "Kid, don't forget what I told you. If you touch what you shouldn't, I'll hunt you down anywhere and put you to honor my sister."

Killian ran off in a hurry, while Nina turned red with embarrassment, quickly hiding her face as she hugged Eve.

"You were too hard on him," Lina commented in a low voice as she stood next to Vicente. "Is there any need for all this, Mister Fuller?"

"Of course. Nina is not a girl without a family. That brat has to understand that. If he touches my sister, he'll either marry her, or I'll kill him. I'm doing him and my sister a favor by clarifying everything here and now." Vicente said, unaware that he was threatening the Third Royal Prince.

Lina smiled as she took it as a joke, even though she imagined this person would be capable of it.

"Then let's hope that doesn't happen... But that's just a teenage thing."

"That's how I got my first woman into bed," Vicente murmured, aware of what young men like Killian had in mind when they hit puberty.

Lina blushed a little before changing the subject. "Anyway, are you free now? I have important matters to discuss with you."

"Hmm." He agreed before looking at Newton, Eve, and Nina. "Carry on with what we were doing and wait for me in the academy garden."

With that said, he set off with Lina and her group.
