Just as Mina was about to call out the instructor's name, Leizel rushed towards the garden square in a flurry. He hurried along, his expression anxious, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, not even bothering to wipe them away.

Leizel had just finished the busy work of conducting talent tests for students at the academy. After testing the entire academy, only two students reached level eight talent, and only a dozen or so reached level seven.

This result made him feel somewhat heavy and under pressure.

Just then, he suddenly remembered the female disciple that Soren had found for him some time ago, who was also a noble princess.

Recalling their first meeting, he had keenly noticed the intelligence and agility in this female disciple's eyes, and that temperament foreshadowed her extraordinary talent.

At this moment, he became more and more convinced that, with that child's intelligence, her talent test results would not be bad.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Leizel became. He knew the complex situation in the palace and the thoughts of those concubines.

Once Mina's outstanding talent was exposed, she would inevitably become the object of everyone's contention.

"No, absolutely not! She is my student." Leizel muttered in his heart as he quickened his pace. His robe fluttered in the wind, and his rapid breathing was particularly clear in the quiet palace road.

Finally, Leizel arrived at the garden square, panting, his eyes eagerly searching for Mina's figure in the crowd.

Mina happened to see him and exclaimed happily, "Instructor, royal brother, the instructor is here!" Her clear childish voice rang out in the garden square, full of joy.

Hearing this cry, Leizel's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he quickly walked to Soren and Mina. He first nodded slightly to Soren as a sign, then squatted down to be at Mina's eye level, his eyes full of concern and protectiveness.

Leizel asked softly, "Good girl! Have you been slacking off in your recent cultivation?" His voice was gentle and full of expectation.

Mina shook her head firmly, her face full of seriousness: "Instructor, I have been practicing hard every day according to your lessons."

Leizel nodded with satisfaction. Mina suddenly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Instructor, royal brother said they all want to separate me and mother."

Her eyes were full of grievance and fear.

The gentleness in Leizel's eyes deepened. He gently rubbed her little head and comforted her, "I'm here!"

Then, Leizel stood up straight, his gaze firmly facing the imperial concubines and princesses, and said solemnly, "Mina is my student. Her future should be decided by herself and her family, not become a tool for your power struggles."

Then, he turned to the emperor and empress, respectfully saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, please give Mina a fair and proper arrangement for her growth." His expression was serious and sincere, hoping to win a fair future for Mina.

This time, Gustav could no longer hide quietly on the sidelines and watch the show as before. He strode out from his hiding place, his face instantly bursting into a hearty smile.

"Lord Leizel, you are overthinking it."

The concubines and head maids in the garden square respectfully saluted Gustav.

Gustav casually waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. He didn't even look at Emily, this mother, or rather, he never remembered this woman, naturally not remembering who her birth mother was. His eyes were fixed on Mina, his daughter, his eyes full of surprise and expectation.

This was simply an unexpected joy. At the thought that a saint-level powerhouse could be born into their royal family in a few decades, Gustav couldn't help but feel excited, his heart seemed to be burning with a raging fire, and his excitement was beyond words, even his body trembling slightly.

"Since Mina is your student, her future will naturally be the responsibility of you, her instructor. Mina will be in the care of Lord Leizel."

After Gustav finished speaking, he smiled and gently picked up Mina.

This was the first time Mina had been held in her biological father's arms since she was born. Her body trembled slightly, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Out of fear of the emperor's majesty, and the long-standing longing for the role of father, she was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do, her face flushed red.

Gustav's words set the tone for Mina's future.

When the other concubines heard this, they couldn't help but show regret, their original plans had failed.

Seeing that Mina was almost crying, Soren quickly stepped forward to take Mina back from the emperor's arms, gently comforting her: "Mina, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gustav was also full of embarrassment, clearing his throat to cover it up, and said: "Soren, you must take care of your sister in the future, just like Yasso and Corena."

Soren nodded quickly and replied solemnly: "Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Mina."

After that, he felt everyone's expectant gaze, they wanted to see his cultivation talent.

Soren whispered to Gustav, "Father, my talent and Corena's have been tested, but I don't want to expose it in front of everyone. Can we test it privately?"

Gustav immediately understood Soren's meaning and said, "Take Mina to the Holy Emblem Palace, I want to examine this little daughter well."

Mina was really about to cry now, Soren quickly coaxed her, Leizel and Princess Maria understood and let Soren take Mina to the Holy Emblem Palace.

Princess Maria looked at Soren's departing figure, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she didn't expect that Mina's cultivation talent was not inferior to her own.

"Maria!" Leizel asked softly, "Have you tested it?"

Princess Maria nodded gently: "About the same as the little girl."

Leizel's eyes widened, and the joy almost couldn't be concealed.

"Good, good! It's time for our Harun family to revive." Leizel said happily.

This sound was almost without any concealment, and almost everyone around heard it clearly.

Princess Nina curled her lips, not caring too much.

The rise of the Harun family is unstoppable, and the future situation may become more complex and changeable.

Or before Alonso has any accidents, they must restrain their edge and never show any desire for the throne, otherwise, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

Now, the Vella family and the Harun family are already on the same front, and the Cloto family does not have the strength to resist the attacks of the two families.

Once these two families join forces to launch an attack, the Cloto family may find it difficult to resist, and at that time, their position and interests in this court will be greatly threatened.
