“You’re a remarkable tea sommelier, as well as an eighth–grade ballet
dancer, not to mention the fact that you’re a poet…” Magnus went on to list
Claudette’s strengths. “Thus, if you don’t think you’re smart, I don’t think
anyone else is in this world.”
It was then that Claudette smiled. “The skills that I know aren’t anywhere near
yours, Mr. Magnus. They’re pretty much useless. You’re the outstanding one,
considering the title that you just earned–Magnus, the Genius!”
If the title was given by some other party or person, it would not have carried
so much weight. After all, Magnus‘ title was given by a prestigious society
from Chanaea known as The Great Minds. Since the society was
acknowledged to be one of the best in the world, the fact that Magnus
received the honorary title made him even more famous, cementing his
place as one of the most influential figures among Zovince’s Four Geniuses.
Furthermore, while Zovince was populated with wealthy people, there were
only a few who were actually talented and influential, which was what made
Magnus‘ capability even more convincing.
Upon hearing Claudette’s compliment, Magnus was happy, but he didn’t get
carried away because of that. “Zovince is just a small place. Let’s take
Chanaea as an example. Countless young people are talented throughout
the country, just like Mackenzie and Gautier from Yeringham. Their
capabilities are nowhere far behind me. Thus, I doubt I actually live up to my
reputation as you said.”
Claudette let out a sigh when she heard Mackenzie’s name. Although she
had been trying to prove that she could match Mackenzie in every aspect,
she still couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of inferiority deep inside of her. I
don’t deserve the love from so many men, especially Magnus. Why didn’t you
woo Mackenzie instead?
“Well, why don’t you woo Mackenzie, then? After all, she is a lot more
outstanding than I am!” Claudette spoke her mind.
“A true knight will always be loyal to his princess.” Magnus smiled.

“Talking to you is really awkward!” answered Claudette directly, but in truth,
she had goosebumps that ran all over her body. Deep down, she was afraid
that she would feel embarrassed if anyone familiar overheard their
conversation. Unlike Magnus, Claudette preferred talking to Emmanuel more,
feeling more comfortable when getting along with him because he always
sounded sincere whenever he talked. On the other hand, Magnus seemed
more like a man wearing a mask whenever she talked to him.
Magnus didn’t feel awkward. Instead, he smiled and said, “You’re the first
person who talks to me like that. While the others may think that way, they
have never said that to me before.”
Of course! Who’d dare do that?! It’s not like nobody knows who you are!
Claudette ignored the man and entered a milkshake store.
Every store along the street was crowded with people, especially after the
evening. After all, most of the people who visited the place were young
people. With a straw in their mouths as they sipped their drinks, they enjoyed
their hotdogs and chicken wings with their phones in their hands. As soon as
they noticed Claudette and Magnus coming in, they were immediately
stunned by their presence, wondering if they had come to the wrong place.
However, Claudette decided to ignore the attention from the others around
her as she sat down at a table and said, “Somebody! Please! I’d like to place
my order!”
Since Claudette was required to place her order at the counter, she
approached the register to do so. When the waiter took a closer look at her
face, he was immediately spellbound by her appealing appearance, not
knowing what to say.
Oh, my god! She is so beautiful! After all, the waiter had never seen anyone
so pretty in his store before. Compared to the other ladies there, Claudette
was deemed to be so gorgeous that she was far beyond comparison with
them. I can tell that she must be from a rich family, but why would she visit a
store like ours? I can’t believe someone like her would come to a place like
this.
