"Your Highness, when you and Teacher A Ke go exploring the new archipelago, can you take my sister and me with you?" Ruth asked, blinking her adorable big eyes.
Lucy hurriedly rebuked her. "Ruth, you mustn't make such an impertinent request of His Highness!"
Though Ruth was rather bold, she did not dare defy her sister. She could only bow to Liszt in grievance and apologize. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. Ruth was too rash. Please forgive me."
Liszt waved a hand. "Don't be nervous, Lucy, Ruth. If your Teacher A Ke does not object, there's no reason you can't come along." Having two adorable little girls for company on a sea voyage would be quite a pleasing and interesting thing, not to mention that they could operate the magic platform.
Thus, A Ke, who had come from Dragon Turtle Island to investigate the project of "how an individual dragon turtle mutated into a Lightning Dragon Turtle," quickly agreed to the sisters' request.
At Liszt's urging, she had already taken Lucy and Ruth as her magic apprentices—Chris Truth, the twins' former teacher, had not objected in the slightest. She had even envied the twins greatly for being able to listen to a Magician's teachings whenever they wished.

Chris had thought too much into it. A Ke was the twins' teacher in name, but privately, she had no intention of teaching them at all. She only enjoyed researching magic by herself, or assigning research tasks to mages. She did not like interacting with others, much less teaching.

"Thank you, Teacher! Thank you, Your Highness!" the twins cheered excitedly.
Liszt nodded. "Go pack your luggage.
