Chapter 268 A Request



Arthur had a slight smile on his face as he walked towards Damien. Everyone else in the queue hurriedly gave way to him while greeting him.

The girls couldn\'t stop fantasizing about him from the sidelines but didn\'t dare to talk to him and waste his time.

They knew that if the crown prince was here, it meant he was here to cultivate in peace in his designated cultivation chamber.

Damien wondered why Arthur wanted to talk to him, seeing him coming towards him. He already had a lot of guesses in his mind and wondered which one was the right one.

However, Damien greeted Arthur when he stopped beside him, "Senior brother Arthur was looking for me?"

Arthur gave a breezy smile as he said, "Yes. I actually wanted to request something from you, if that\'s okay for you."

Damien raised one of his brows, "Oh, what could someone as exalted as you possibly request from me?" He said with a light chuckle.

Arthur smiled and said, "Nothing much. Actually, I wanted to use your connection to Alchemist Azrael and ask him whether he could treat someone related to me. I was planning to visit him anyway and explain things in detail after a week, but I hoped you could drop in a word about my matter so that he would know in advance."

Arthur had already tried talking to Leon Xeton about Alchemist Azrael. But he still wanted to give it a try on his own and see if Alchemist Azrael and suggest other ways to cure his mother. Since he was going to cultivate, he also wanted to make sure Alchemist Azrael would save some consultation time for him.

"Oh, I see," Damien was a bit surprised that someone close to Arthur needed medical attention. He could notice the worry in his eyes and felt that someone close to him must be sick.

Damien nodded with a smile, "Sure, I will tell Senior Azrael. You can rest easy."

Arthur\'s lips arched into a relieved smile, "Thank you, junior brother Damien. It means a lot."

Seeing the two conversing in a friendly manner, the others in the hall envied Damien for getting into the good grace of the crown prince so fast.

Arthur was someone one can hardly see in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation since he was quite busy most of the time. So, even if they wanted to, they weren\'t able to strike up conversations with him and become friends in name, at least.

Since they knew how kind and friendly Arthur was, they didn\'t feel much intimidated by his status, thinking that he was a down-to-earth guy.

"I heard you are quite good at alchemy as well. How are your alchemy classes going on? Is my sister teaching well?" Arthur asked casually after talking about some everyday things.

Damien replied straight away, "Teacher Reva is quite an excellent teacher, and I guess everyone, including my classmates shares the same opinion. Alchemy doesn\'t seem boring when she explains it to us. I wonder who taught her alchemy for her to become such an expert at such young age."

Arthur softly chuckled, "Yes, she is quite a genius in more than one area just like you. And it makes me wonder if Reva is keeping these extra classes for you as punishment, haha. After all, extra classes are the last thing one has to endure for an alchemy genius like you."

A subtle, contemplative light flashed in Damien\'s black eyes as he said, "Haha, not really. The last student she ought to punish would be me, just joking. But I would say that these extra classes are for my benefit since I want to go even deeper than the syllabus that\'s taught here. I also want to become a young expert in alchemy like her. So, who could be a better teacher than her?"

Arthur nodded with an approving look, "No wonder, you really are on another level. Reva must be feeling glad to have a student like you. I didn\'t know she was into teaching as this year is the first time she even started taking classes. In fact, no one would think that someone as young as her could be a teacher. But hearing how good she is from you makes me feel proud that she proved herself to everyone else. Anyways, I won\'t keep you from cultivating any longer as I also have to go and cultivate. See you around later, junior brother Damien or do you mind if I call you just Damien? You can address me by just my name as well."

If anybody else heard how Arthur was allowing someone to address him by his name, they would wonder if they heard things right since the imperial family would never allow someone of lower status to address them by their name only; of course and unless they knew each other for many years and if they were conversing in private.

But Damien barely knew Arthur, and here he was telling him that he can address him casually like equals.

Even if Damien was the best of the best or even if he was way more powerful than Arthur, he would never have the right to address imperial family members casually unless they allowed it.

This was why Reva was at first piqued when Damien addressed her casually, but of course, she didn\'t pursue it because she knew she fell into his trap unknowingly, and Damien knew she wouldn\'t go back on her words.

Damien was also surprised seeing the crown prince being so friendly. After everything he had experienced, meeting someone down to earth was like fresh air to him. He even lost count of the number of arrogant young masters he had met after waking up in this world. And the typical pattern he always noticed was that the more powerful their family was, the more arrogant these young masters were.

The others were not able to hear the conversation between Arthur and Damien, so they had no idea about all this. Otherwise, Damien would be the envy of the school for even receiving the favor of the crown prince.

And that means, in the future, since Arthur was meant to be the emperor, Damien\'s life would surely be a breeze and the immense benefits he would receive by being in good graces with Arthur.

Everyone already knew Damien had Reva\'s favor which was quite evident from how she defended Damien when the patriarch and matriarch of the Dawson and Alston family came to cause trouble. So, befriending the crown prince as well was like overkill in their perspective.

And now that Damien has even entered the Eternal Hall of Fame rankings, there was no doubt that in the future, his name would resound throughout the continent and be marked in the history of the Xeton Empire.

Damien nodded with a smile, "Sure, Arthur," He didn\'t feel much about addressing Arthur casually, and in fact, he didn\'t mind getting close with Arthur since he wanted to know more about the crown prince of the Xeton Empire and find out if he was an obstacle in his path.

If he weren\'t, then Damien would leave Arthur to his own devices, but if he were, then things would be a different matter altogether. So far, on the outward, he had a good impression of him, but he, of course, wouldn\'t believe anything at face value and decided to dig more, especially by helping out Arthur with his request.

Arthur was inwardly surprised that Damien didn\'t hesitate or reject him modestly out of respect for his status. It was like Damien wasn\'t really seeing him as the crown prince but a fellow disciple.

However, Arthur wasn\'t bothered by it but instead felt that Damien was quite an interesting guy who seemed quite different from the rest.

After taking his leave, he wondered why he even asked Damien about Reva and criticized himself for being so narrow-minded.

From Damien\'s words, all he understood was that Damien was a diligent student trying to learn more about alchemy from Reva, which was a far contrast to what Sven implied.

But for a moment, when he thought about Reva really falling in love with Damien, he felt as if his heart was being pulled down and controlled his emotions before his thoughts were led astray.

Finally, after seeing that a cultivation room got free, Damien was still deep in thought as he walked towards the room.

Even though Arthur only asked him about general stuff, he felt that Arthur was trying to discern something from his answer. But thinking about it, he just couldn\'t put his finger on it, especially when he didn\'t know Arthur much.

After cultivating for a few hours and letting his ethereal core adjust to his new cultivation level, Damien came out when it was almost evening.

He smiled, thinking that it was time to have his extra class with Reva, and was looking forward to it, especially when he had something to anticipate for.
