Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 915

Kevin immediately knelt and hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'll make sure to learn well from my mentor. I won't slack off or be lazy. As for anything I shouldn't do, I promise I won't do it."

He had attended Violet's large lectures twice before, but had missed the others due to his duty shifts. Violet didn't teach him one-on-one whenever he was free, which left him feeling quite despondent.

When he returned home, he had told his parents several times that if he could be personally taught by Violet, it would be a dream come true.

To his surprise, after all the bad luck he had suffered during the Victory Pass campaign, he now had such good fortune. He knew his actions weren't exactly noble, but he also understood that if he let this opportunity slip through his fingers, he would never get another.

The Crown Guard, soon to be the Nightsteel Guard, would soon separate from the Mystic Army, and Violet was only teaching the Mystic Army troops in consideration for Carissa. After the Nightsteel Guard became independent, things might remain the same way. Even if the king allowed Violet to continue training them, Kevin would probably still miss the classes like he had before.

Kevin's wife, Odette, who had been kneeling alongside him, also stood as part of the ceremony. If her husband was to be accepted as an apprentice, it was only right that she also kneel and show her respect.

After Violet drank the wine as part of the apprenticeship ritual, she gave Odette a bracelet as a gift. Odette recognized the value of the bracelet and immediately tried to refuse, saying it was far too precious to accept.

Violet smiled. "Take it. I don't give cheap gifts."

Odette hesitated for a moment, then glanced at her mother-in-law, Pauline, for guidance.
