Chapter 378 Who Is Your Mentor?

Wendy never planned to refuse the offer.

When everyone saw James approaching, they all stood up from their seats. "Your Highness!"

Wendy gently bowed. She put her hands together in a respectful gesture.

James raised his hand slightly. He held a drink as he walked over to stand in front of Violeta. "I've got some

things to discuss with her privately. You all can leave for now."

Wendy was momentarily stunned and said, "Alright, | won't interrupt then."

The others followed suit and left.

Aster looked at Violeta with a worried expression. Violeta turned her head and patted Aster's shoulder, saying,

"Don't worry, it's just a chat. He's not a match forin combat anyway."

Since Violeta was still able to joke in such a situation, Aster playfully scolded her, "Ms. White!"

Violeta smiled and urged, "Go on now."

Aster sighed and said, "Alright then. If anything happens, just smash your wine glass as a signal."

Violeta chuckled and said, "Do you think we're in a movie? Smashing a wine glass? Even if he attempts

something, there are numerous people present. It's just the two of us, and you're just extra baggage. Won't we

be at his mercy?" Aster pouted and reluctantly left.

After Aster left, James placed his glass down and took a seat on the couch. His posture was as calm and

composed as ever.

Violeta turned to look at him, then switched to Elic. She asked, "Your Highness, what can | do for you?"

James smiled and replied in accented Elic, "I understand your native language perfectly."

What the...?

Violeta was visibly stunned.

So, he understood everything | just told Aster.

Royalties are indeed extraordinary.

Violeta pursed her lips. She couldn't grasp James's intentions for a moment.

James fiddled with the ring on his finger and spoke slowly, "Relax. | won't do anything to you. | just cto ask if

you know about Harmony Flow." Violeta asked again, "Harmony Flow?"

"Yes, Harmony Flow is a mind-body practice from your country, known for its health benefits. Your people are

very knowledgeable about this." Violeta said, "If you have any specific requests, feel free to speak directly."

"Alright, I'll be straightforward. | want to learn Harmony Flow."

Violeta said, "Harmony Flow is a profound combat technique, but there are many who can teach it. If you want to

learn something, you can find a master skilled in it'

James shook his head and said, "I don't want just any beginner-level instructor. | want a true master.

"When you fought with my men earlier, you used the Harmony Flow technique to redirect their force. But the

moves you used to dodge their head attacks didn't quite fit. Violeta, | want to know who your teacher is."

So that's what this was about.

He wanted to know who my mentor is.

Violeta lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is a different matter from earlier. | am not Glorian,

nor am | a prisoner." Why should | tell him?

It's something personal.

During the tJames had disappeared, he had likely investigated Violeta.

Even a quick check would have revealed that Violeta was a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry.

She wasn't an ordinary person who could be easily manipulated or made to disappear.

Earlier, James acted on impulse out of ignorance.

When he admitted he knew about this, he had a different plan in mind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have cto ask Violeta alone; he would have used more persuasive methods.

Violeta smiled at him; her expression was polite yet cold.

"Your Highness, if you don't tellyour true purpose, | won't tell you who my teacher is."

James narrowed his eyes. He knew this woman was smart.

Since he couldn't hide it, he decided to be honest.

He used a respectful tone and said, "My father loves Harmony Flow."

Oh!

Violeta understood when he said it this way.

Royal affairs were not something she wanted to delve into.

Wherever there were people, there e were fights. Even wealthy families were rife with internal strife, not to

mention the complexity of royalty.

"| practiced in a hermitage in the mountains for a while. I'll write down the address. You can find a master there."

Violeta agreed straightforwardly.

James couldn't quite read her.
