Transmigration: Step Into The World of Books And Become The Strongest!-Chapter 60: Accepting the Offer and Sharon’s Gratitude

Arthur looked deeply at Sharon and asked again, "So, what is your decision, Princess? Will you accept Sage Rudolf’s offer?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He had to make sure Sharon agreed. Only then could she grow stronger, much faster than in the original storyline.

At the same time, his affairs in this world would be perfectly resolved.

That way, he could earn the S-level reward, which would be crucial for his future awakening.

Sharon fell silent, staring at his hopeful expression.

To be honest, she didn’t want to part with Aron. Without him, she would feel lonely.

But she knew Aron only wanted the best for her. If she accepted Rudolf’s offer, she could become stronger and protect not only herself but also Aron.

Recalling the incident last night, when assassins had targeted her, her expression slowly hardened.

"Then, I’ll accept it," she said, her voice filled with determination.

She refused to remain weak or be a burden to Aron. She was sick of the ridicule from the queen, the concubines, and her siblings!

She was determined to grow stronger and stand on her own two feet.

Arthur let out a breath of relief and smiled warmly.

"Well done, Princess. You made the right choice."

With Sharon’s decision, everything was falling perfectly into place, just as he had planned.

Of course, the happiest person with Sharon’s decision was Rudolf. He burst out laughing and nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you’ve decided to accept my offer, that means you’re officially my student," he said excitedly, reaching into his robe pocket and pulling out a star-shaped badge.

"This is my badge. It also identifies you as my disciple. Take it." He handed it to Sharon.

Receiving the badge, Sharon smiled and grasped it tightly.

"Thank you, Sage—no, Master," she said respectfully, bowing her head.

Rudolf nodded in approval at her polite and gentle demeanor, so different from Clareth’s before.

He then turned to Arthur and smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Aron. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know if Princess Sharon would have accepted my offer. If there’s anything you want, just say the word. As long as I can, I’ll fulfill it."

The promise of a fifth-level mage was something truly valuable—far more valuable than any wealth.

Nathan couldn’t help but feel jealous of Arthur. Had he known Sharon possessed such extraordinary talent, he would have treated her far better in the past.

Arthur responded with a slight smile. He knew Rudolf very well through the memories of this world’s storyline.

Rudolf was a kind man, but only to those he recognized. To everyone else, he remained indifferent and distant.

Since he had helped convince Sharon, it meant Rudolf now regarded him as someone he recognized.

Therefore, his promise wasn’t just empty words. Of course, Arthur had already thought about how he would use that promise.

"Thank you, Sage Rudolf. For now, I don’t need anything from you, but in the future, I’ll collect on that promise," he replied bluntly.

Rudolf was slightly surprised and looked at him deeply. "Alright. I’ll wait and see what you ask for in the future."

Afterward, he and Catrine walked over to Nathan and cupped their hands respectfully.

"Thank you for allowing us to conduct the tests for the princes and princesses, Your Majesty. The Celestial Academy owes you a favor," Catrine said with a faint smile.

She hadn’t expected that their journey to the Magic Kingdom of Valdom would lead them to meet the one who awakened the golden light attribute. It was an extraordinary blessing.

Nathan smiled and nodded slightly. "You’re welcome, Sage Rudolf and Miss Catrine. They are my sons and daughters. I hope you will take good care of them at the Academy."

Rudolf, who was usually calm and indifferent, nodded firmly and reassuringly. "Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The Academy’s students are directly protected by our most powerful teachers. We guarantee their safety."

"Good!" Nathan nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he turned his head toward Sharon, only to find the girl not even glancing at him.

It left him feeling both annoyed and helpless.

"I should apologize to her before it’s too late..."

...

"Hahaha! Since you’ve become Sage Rudolf’s student, let’s celebrate, Princess."

Arthur laughed happily, holding two plates in his hands and setting them on the table.

Sitting in the dining chair, Sharon rested her chin on her palms, frowning as she looked at Arthur.

"Aron, will you be happy if I go to the Academy and don’t come back for six months?"

Her voice carried an irritation she couldn’t quite hide.

Arthur paused for a moment before chuckling softly.

"Happy? Of course I’m happy," he answered honestly, gently patting her head. "But my happiness isn’t because we’re parting ways. It’s because you’re finally getting the chance to rise."

"I know you’ve had to overcome many obstacles, Princess. So cheer up and prove to those who hate you that you’re not who they think you are!"

His words seemed to reach deep into her heart, causing it to skip a beat.

Staring into the sincerity in his eyes, tears welled up at the corners of her own.

"Aron, thank you..." She bit her lower lip, her voice trembling as she fought back a sob. "If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how I would’ve lasted this long. Thank you, once again."

Her fingers clenched as she bowed her head slightly, tears falling down her cheeks.

Moments later, a system notification rang out in Arthur’s mind.

"[Ding! Sharon Valura’s affection increased by +8 points.]"

"[Ding! Mission progress ’Help the main character (Sharon Valura) experience the warmth and care she longs for’ increased by 10%.]"

Arthur was slightly surprised but couldn’t help smiling. He hadn’t expected Sharon’s affection to increase so dramatically.

Her affection level had now reached sixty points, leaving only forty more to complete the mission.

The mission to provide warmth was a difficult one, with slow progress.

Still, this result was already quite good. After all, it had only been two days since he arrived in this world, and the progress so far was more than satisfactory.

"Alright, don’t cry like that," Arthur said gently, moving his hand from Sharon’s head to her chin and lifting it slowly.

Her face was flushed, tears still rolling down her cheeks. Arthur gently wiped them away, continuing in a playful tone, "Now you’re a great figure who has awakened the golden light attribute. Your future is limitless. If anyone saw a future powerful mage like you crying like this, it would be embarrassing, right?"

At his words, Sharon pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied.

"Humph! I don’t care. It’s just you here, and no one else is watching," she said in a forced, arrogant tone.

Arthur burst into laughter. "Alright, alright. Let’s eat first. In a few hours, you’ll be heading to the Academy with Miss Catrine and Sage Rudolf."

Sharon’s smile returned as she nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

With that, they began enjoying their lunch.

However, not even five minutes had passed when a knock came at the door, followed by a man’s stern voice.

"Princess Sharon, sorry to interrupt your time. His Highness wishes to see you."
