Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 391 - 371: The Change in Sigrid’s Mentality_1

At night, the streets of the North District of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy were enveloped in tranquility.

In the living room of Gloria’s mansion, the heavy curtains next to the floor-to-ceiling window remained closed, separating the night sky of the garden outside from the vibrant interior of the room.

"Let’s watch his program."

Sigrid, relaxing and looking forward to it, leaned back on the sofa and turned on the projection screen on the wall of Gloria’s living room.

"Mr. Bishop, has he done anything to you along the way?"

Gloria asked with concern and a hint of trepidation.

"What are you thinking?"

Sigrid looked at Gloria coldly, causing Gloria to shrink back, and stop asking such questions rashly.

Gloria always felt that the relationship between Mr. Bishop and the Saint Heir was somewhat different from before they left for the north, or it was the Bishop who had changed, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Last time when the Bishop sat here watching the Saint Heir’s monthly assessment, he seemed indifferent as if he was watching a show.

Now, as she sat in front of the screen waiting for Saint Heir’s program, it seemed more like she simply wanted to watch.

Gloria also glanced at the screen, which was still showing previews for this period, as well as character introductions and pre-interview content about Rocky McCarthy, who was invited for a celebrity interview by the Herram Broadcasting Company.

In the scene, Rocky McCarthy talks about how he built his educational model at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, which received a 100% approval rating, as well as his success in the education industry.

Then, in a brief interview, he expressed his views on the overall situation of the Protoss Empire as the Provincial Governor, particularly on the trade policy and foreign relations.

"Wait, how is he the Provincial Governor now?"

Gloria in the living room asked in surprise.

"...It’s a long story."

No matter what Lanci would talk about in the interview today, Sigrid would not be surprised. He is now a political figure in the empire, not just a headmaster.

Sigrid just stared at the screen as she responded to Gloria.

"My Lord, he doesn’t intend for you to infiltrate the prison in person, does he?"

Gloria looked at Sigrid’s composed demeanor and grew even more worried.

Given Sigrid’s condition, she was unfit for such dangerous territory, with a high risk of death. Even Sigrid at her peak might get permanently locked up due to a single misstep.

"Logically speaking, I’d be the best choice since he needs to keep the prison director busy at the academy."

Sigrid pondered before replying.

She remembered Lanci mentioning in Xue Yuan Province that he invited the director of Herram Prison to the Protoss Royal Magic Academy to discuss campus plans and collaborative projects with Xue Yuan Province Prison, so he could keep track of the director’s movements.

Gloria was taken aback.

"No, absolutely not. You cannot risk it. The demons certainly wouldn’t listen to you."

Gloria realized that if the Protoss Royal Magic Academy could secure the allegiance of three eighth-order Great Demons, regardless of their exact level within the eighth order, their influence would be equivalent to any branch of the Rebirth Church, even the worn-out Hegemony Branch. The Saint Heir would possess ample resources to counter Asksan.

However, the plan seemed impossible to succeed.

"Let’s see how he arranges it. I already have enough on my plate just following his lead."

Sigrid simply shrugged, giving up thinking in favor of the eased sensation provided by sharing a mental network with Lanci.

"Oh? The show has started."

Noticing the opening scene on television, Sigrid instantly forgot the weighty conversation she’d been having with Gloria, focusing solely on the show.

Gloria watched as a smile adorned Sigrid’s face. She exhaled in resignation.

If this man could do as he said and defeat Asksan, she would support the Bishop being with the Saint Heir and even try to persuade the Grand Priests of the Hegemony branch to push these two together.

The Saint Heir was a simple-minded individual whose complete focus was his work, with little to no interactions with women. The Bishop was the only one who got along with him. Even if they botched things up, it wouldn’t escalate into a complete farce, leaving the Bishop and Saint Heir unable to face each other.
