Imperial capital, Duke Tulip’s residence.

Hughes got up early in the morning.

After passing the third elemental baptism, Hughes’s physical fitness had already reached a formidable level.

Even though he had been practicing magic last night and went to bed very late, he still got up early this morning and was even more energetic than usual.

“Tomorrow is the theory test. I wonder what trouble those people will start next.”

“I’ll stop thinking about it. I’ll take Audrey out to play for a day first.”

After sighing to himself, Hughes packed his things and headed for the courtyard door.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard door, Hughes saw Audrey, who was dressed beautifully, standing at the entrance of his courtyard, waiting for him.

“Brother, guess what I’m here for.”

Audrey placed her hands behind her back and slowly walked towards Hughes. As she walked, she winked at Hughes.

“Breakfast?”

Hughes smiled calmly and replied gently.

Audrey shook her head and said playfully, “No, no.”

“Why would I prepare something that isn’t new for you, brother? Guess again.”

Hughes narrowed his eyes and began thinking.

This sister of his has always been very quirky. It was impossible for her to give him something like breakfast.

Think about how tomorrow was his magic theory test day, a plausible answer sprang to Hughes’s mind.

“Audrey, don’t tell me you have the test material. I don’t need it.”

Hughes waved his hands repeatedly, using his body language to express his absolute confidence.

“Of course it’s not the test materials. My brother is so smart and hardworking. Why would he need those things?”

Audrey pouted proudly and said in an extremely serious manner,

“My brother is the best. If even you need to hurry up and revise the materials before the test then no one in this world will be able to pass a theoretical exam like that.”

Hughes blushed. Audrey had praised him too much. It was like he wasn’t even a person, but a god.

However, the feeling of absolute trust from his sister still made Hughes feel a strong sense of happiness.

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch his sister’s head.

But Audrey jerked back and refused coquettishly:

“No, no, no, you can’t Peek!”

Hughes thought to himself, I didn’t mean to peek, but looking at Audrey’s angry face, Hughes didn’t say it out loud.

He knew that his sister, who was very playful, would never believe that he had not done that just to peek.

“Sigh, big brother can’t guess it. Tell me.”

Hughes raised the white flag high and surrendered. Audrey’s eyes cracked into a smile.

“Hehe, looks like I’m the smartest in the family. Ta-da.”

Audrey took out her hands from behind her back.

“You didn’t expect it, right? It’s breakfast that looks like an exam paper. Aren’t you surprised?”

Audrey looked like she had succeeded in her scheme as she looked at Hughes sneakily.

Hughes slapped himself on the forehead.

He was very regretful now. Why did he play such a childish game with a fourteen-year-old girl like Audrey.
