Lynn waved his hand decisively, abruptly ending this absurd topic.
"I came to see you for two main reasons," Lynn said while pacing with his hands behind his back.
"First, to help repair you, so you don't actually fall apart."
"And second..." Lynn looked up and said, "Regarding that foolish girl Vivian, who is my descendant, I plan to tell her my true identity directly to prevent her from developing any more unrealistic ideas. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the Sword Puppet was instantly overjoyed.
Was the master finally going to reveal his identity to his descendant?!
He also thought this was a very sensible idea.
After all, just thinking about what happened last night gave him a headache.
But if the ancestor revealed his identity...
If he told her directly that he was the Great Lord of Violet, her ancestor...
Then that budding feeling of affection would surely be nipped in the bud.
"Master, have you finally decided to reveal your identity?"
Lynn nodded, saying, "I didn't think it was necessary before, but after consideration, this seems to be the quickest way to make that blonde girl abandon those thoughts. Such ideas are better cut off early."
Indeed.
Being confessed to by your own descendant was already absurd enough.
If she were to continue pining...
That would be truly disastrous!
After a while.
The Sword Puppet coughed and pondered, "Well... Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."
"Say it!" Lynn glanced at him.
The Sword Puppet said seriously, "You know what they say, after three generations..."
"..."
Bang! Crash! Boom! Clang!
"Master, stop! Stop! I was just joking, please put down that chair!"
"Stop hitting me! Please stop!"
Several minutes later.
Lynn looked at the Sword Puppet, who was crying o(╥﹏╥)o and nearly falling apart, and calmly said:
"Don't ever try these ridiculous jokes with me again, understand? Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
The Sword Puppet replied tearfully o(╥﹏╥)o, "Yes, Master."
Lynn shook his head.
Then Lynn extended his hand, his fingertips flickering slightly.
The space around him slowly split open in several places.
Under the Sword Puppet's astonished gaze, blocks of top-grade mithril and divine gold gradually appeared.
"Let me renovate you first, so you don't actually break down one day."
Lynn focused his thoughts.
The mithril and divine gold immediately began to transform, gradually taking the shape of various components and structures.
After his reincarnation, he hadn't lost the resources he had hidden in his inner space.
And now they could finally be put to good use.
Watching this scene, the Sword Puppet was both shocked and delighted.
Without any forging process...
Being able to change the shape and structure of objects with just a thought...
This was definitely not something ordinary people could do.
Clearly, Master's current power, even if not at his peak from back then, must be close!
Seeing such a powerful master return...
He was almost moved to tears!
Instantly.
His mind flashed back to a thousand years ago, when his body was still that of a child, looking up at that magnificent and towering figure with admiration.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"Damn, I..."
In the castle, Vivian's bedroom.
Vivian sat dejectedly in front of her easel in her nightgown, staring at the handsome young man in her painting.
Just thinking about last night made her feel waves of regret.
She had been too hasty.
Losing her composure as soon as she saw her prince charming, making the foolish mistake of confessing in public.
"I really should have waited for a private moment to knock him out!"
Vivian clutched her hammer pitifully.
With so many people around, even if she had managed to knock out her prince charming, it would have been very difficult to carry him away.
But what she hadn't expected was...
That her prince charming would turn out to be Nanako's disciple.
This must be a disguise to hide his true identity.
"Too impulsive! I was really too impulsive!"
Vivian whimpered, propping up her cheeks and pouting while blowing at her bangs.
"I wonder if I'll ever get another chance to see my prince charming."
Dejected.
All her energy suddenly drained away.
Vivian stood up glumly, gently pulling down her shoulder strap, preparing to change clothes and go out to apologize to her prince charming.
But at that moment...
Suddenly...
A spatial disturbance rippled through the room.
The next moment, under Vivian's stunned gaze, two figures slowly materialized in her room.
Seeing Vivian in her state of undress...
Lynn immediately closed his eyes and coughed, saying, "Vivian, I have something..."
"Pervert!" Vivian screamed instantly.
Instinctively grabbing her hammer, she immediately threw it straight at Lynn.
Bang!
Caught off guard...
The hammer flew over and hit Lynn squarely on the head.
"..."
"..."
A brief silence.
The Sword Puppet immediately cried out in alarm: "Master!!"
Vivian also froze, then suddenly recognized his face and exclaimed in shock:
"My... my prince!"
The hammer clattered to the ground after falling from Lynn's head.
Lynn took a deep breath and said, "Vivian, that hammer... maybe don't aim for the head in the future, it could really kill someone..."
Vivian swallowed and said dazedly, "Your Highness, are... are you alright?"
Lynn gave a faint smile and said, "Heh, how could anything happen to me?"
Hiccup—
Lynn's head tilted backward.
The dizziness rune activated, foam formed at his mouth, and he passed out again.
"Master!"
"My prince!!"
Vivian screamed.
About ten minutes later.
Lynn opened his fish-dead eyes, with bandages wrapped around his head, sitting in a chair, having regained consciousness.
If it weren't for being knocked out earlier, which had made him specifically increase his resistance to dizziness...
He probably wouldn't have woken up now.
Vivian lowered her head, her face burning red, fidgeting with her skirt like a child who had done something wrong.
"My prince, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to."
Lynn took a deep breath and said, "It seems you've had special training... The first time you knocked me out was bad luck, but I never expected to be knocked out by you a second time..."
Vivian blushed and said:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but mother said we shouldn't lose our ancestral skills, so our aim must be good... Vivian has been practicing since childhood!"
Damn, she really did train for this!
Lynn was thoroughly exasperated.
What kind of ancestral skill was this anyway!
How come I, the ancestor, didn't know about this!
Vivian's face was red, her heart pounding as she asked, "My prince, did you come specially to see Vivian?"
Then she turned her head in confusion to look at the Sword Puppet beside him and asked, "And why did Grandpa Sword Puppet come too?"
Lynn took a deep breath, knowing it was time to tell her the truth.
He sat up straight, looking seriously at Vivian, and said:
"Vivian, you don't know my name yet, do you?"
Vivian was startled, her little face immediately turning red.
My prince suddenly became so serious!
So handsome!
So handsome!
(✪ω✪)
Speaking to Vivian in such a serious tone, could he be about to make some formal announcement?
Like:
"Remember my name, Vivian, from now on, your heart will belong to me!"
Or maybe:
"Well, can't help it, since you've knocked me out twice, I'll have to be with you."
Countless romantic lines from romance novels flashed through Vivian's mind, imagining what the male lead might say to the female lead.
But in the next moment...
"My name is Lynn, Vivian."
