Chapter 249 - The bet

As soon as the queen left, Khufu looked at the girl again. He was noticing every minute detail of her beautiful face. Miso was aware of his constant gaze, once again making her uncomfortable and unhappy.

"You are truelly a spell- caster. You can bewitch anybody just by your face." Before Khufu even realised, the words had already left his mouth.

Miso was stunned at his words and frowned looking at him. "Is this how you treat your teacher?!"

Apart from the king, the priests and teachers were given the highest reverence. Since Miso was Khufu's teacher, she was furious at his unexpected words.

"Hmm..My apologies!" Khufu folded his hands and bowed in guilt, realising his mistake. The girl was making him say stupid things.

Miso looked at the gulity man and calmed down a bit. "Ok! What do you know about magic and medicine?"

"Nothing! It doesn't interest me at all."

"Why?"

"I think for an efficient ruler, his physical power and mental agility is enough. He doesn't need such spells and magic."

Miso frowned again in anger. "Then why do you want to learn magic, if you don't think its essential? Why did you even call me?"

"My mother forced me into this. I could not refuse her."

"First rule! Magic and Medicine can only be learnt with full heart and willingness!" Miso was beginning to get more irritated now.

"Ok teacher! Then what can be done with that? You can change people's hearts easily. Just change my heart!" Khufu walked closer to her, looking deep in her eyes.

Miso did not move back, but now she was starring at him narrow-eyed. "Why don't we go an tell her highness Dalilah, that her son is not talented enough to learn such a precious art? This way you can get rid of me!"

Khufu gapped at her in surprise. Nobody had ever dared to talk to him like that.

"You don't trust my talents? Ok! Beat me. Bring your weapons! If you win, i will learn from you but....if i win....." Khufu paused and gave her a wicked smile

"Then?" Miso frowned in confusion.

"Then you will marry me!"
