Chapter 411 Kaka's Partner

When he first saw Princess Kaka up close, Renn had to admit that she was completely different from the arrogant noblewoman he had imagined.

It was a sunny afternoon. The princess was practicing card manipulation alone in the rose garden. She had no followers, no gorgeous dress, and was only wearing a simple white training uniform.

She tried to revive a withered rose using the Eye of All Things card, but seemed to encounter difficulties.

"Damn it, I failed again." Kaka muttered in frustration, not at all like a dignified princess.

Ryan pretended to be trimming bushes nearby, observing from the shadows.

He saw fine beads of sweat on the princess's forehead, her brows furrowed, and her eyes fixed intently on the golden card in her hand.

Suddenly, the card shone brightly, and a golden light shot towards the withered rose—but instead of reviving, the rose instantly turned to ashes.

"Ah!" Kaka exclaimed in surprise and fell to the ground.

Ryan instinctively rushed over: "Are you alright?"

Kaka looked up in surprise at the unfamiliar servant who had suddenly appeared.

Rein then realized his rudeness and quickly took a step back to bow, saying, "I apologize, Your Highness, I came as soon as I heard the sound."

"It's alright, thank you." Kaka patted her skirt and stood up. "Are you new here? I've never seen you before."

“Yes, Your Highness. My name is Renn, and I am an apprentice at the blacksmith's shop in the south of the city. I am temporarily working at the palace.”

"A blacksmith's apprentice?" Kaka's eyes lit up. "Then you must know a lot about the properties of metals? I'm currently researching the impact of card carrier materials on energy conduction. Perhaps you could give me some advice?"

Renn was stunned.

He had imagined all sorts of ways to get close to the princess, but he never expected that she would take the initiative to ask him a question.

What surprised him even more was that Kaka's enthusiasm and focus when talking about cards didn't seem like he was showing off his power, but rather that he genuinely loved the art.

“I… I don’t know much about cards,” he replied cautiously.

“It’s alright, we can learn from each other,” Kaka said with a bright, almost blinding smile. “You know, while the Eye of All Things is powerful, it’s difficult to control precisely. I’ve been wondering if the card material affects the energy output or if there’s something else at play.”

And so, Renn was drawn into the conversation with the princess.

This is the first time that Raine has truly begun to get close to the princess.

At this time, Lin Liuyi also found her new reader. She never expected that she would meet another princess.

"So you're from another world, but not from the world in the book? Sigh, I thought you wrote the book to ask for help." Princess Kaka was a little disappointed; she genuinely wanted to help the people in the world of the book.

Lin Liuyi was somewhat amused and exasperated. It seemed that the more worlds she encountered, the fewer people wanted to help her, and in most cases, she was the one helping the readers.

Now that Kaka genuinely wants to help her, Lin Liuyi felt as if she had returned to the time when she first met Princess Mingyue and the others.

At that time, she had just obtained the system, and it was Princess Mingyue's reward that helped her escape from her hectic life. Therefore, Princess Mingyue always held a very high position in Lin Liuyi's heart.

Princess Kaka is as kind as Princess Mingyue was back then, which makes Lin Liuyi treat her even better.

She even provided some items from other worlds for Kaka to study.

Kaka was also extremely excited. She had recently been researching how to control the Eye of All Things, and the materials Lin Liuyi gave her were ones she had never seen before, which aroused her strong curiosity.

Of course, she didn't take Lin Liuyi's things for nothing; she gave Lin Liuyi a bunch of cards she owned as well.

"Will these things affect you?"

"No, apart from special cards, we have plenty of these ordinary cards here. Besides, these cards are all made from trees in the forest outside the city, so we can't possibly use them all." Kaka shook his head, indicating that their Card Kingdom had plenty of these.

In their card kingdom, everyone can control ordinary cards, 66 low-level cards, 22 medium-level cards, 11 high-level cards, and the number of special cards is unknown.

Therefore, they have all kinds of common cards available in their country.

After Kaka's explanation, Lin Liuyi was no longer worried, and both of them got what they wanted.

After receiving the materials from Lin Liuyi, Kaka devoted himself to studying them.

To everyone's surprise, this greatly worried Renn, whose slight liking for Kaka vanished in an instant.

Hmph, as expected of nobles, they don't care about commoners at all.

Renn's jealousy resurfaced. Since the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.

In the days that followed, Renne frequently found various excuses to "bump into" Kaka and discuss the details of card making.

However, he was surprised to find that the princess's knowledge of commoner crafts far exceeded his expectations, and she had none of the airs of a nobleman.

Renn's resolve began to waver again.

One evening, as Ryan finished work and was about to leave, he found Kaka sitting alone in the garden gazebo, an old book open in front of him, his brow furrowed.

Kaka researched a lot of information and finally found an ancient book in the royal palace's library. She had a feeling that the book was useful, but she couldn't understand it.

"Your Highness?" he greeted tentatively.

Kaka looked up, a weary smile on his face. "Rain, perfect timing. Can you read the ancient card text? There's a passage in this book about energy conversion that I just can't understand."

Ryan walked over and was surprised to find that he could indeed read some of the text, which his father had taught him.

His father was a scholar who was later exiled for publicly questioning aristocratic privileges.

“This refers to the possibility of energy flowing in the opposite direction,” Raine explained, pointing to a passage of text.

Kaka's eyes lit up. "Fantastic! This is exactly what I need!" She suddenly grabbed Ryan's hand. "Ryan, would you be my research assistant? A formal, paid one."

Ryan's heart skipped a beat.

This was precisely his purpose in approaching the princess, but at this moment, a strange sense of guilt welled up inside him.

Kaka's sincere gaze reminded him of his plan: to expose her "true colors" and prove that the power of the nobility was nothing more than a result of privilege.

“I’m afraid I’m not qualified,” he said in a low voice.

“Nonsense!” Kaka shook her head. “Your understanding of card materials far surpasses that of those old scholars in the court. Besides,” she lowered her voice, “I need someone who won’t be overly deferential to me, a partner who dares to speak the truth.”

partner.

The word echoed in Renn's ears.

He had thought he would be happy to have gained the princess's trust so easily, but now he felt a pang of pain.

“If you insist, I would be honored.” In the end, he agreed.

In the days that followed, Renn officially became Kaka's research assistant.
