Mathias woke up in the afternoon to find himself still in the room with Isabella. There was a knock on the door and he knew it was his butler, Edward. However, the presence of Isabella in the room caused Mathias some concern.

"Prince?" Edward's confused voice came from behind the door.

Mathias massaged his forehead as Isabella also woke up from the knock.

"What should we do?" Isabella whispered in Mathias' ear.

Mathias had also forgotten about Edward in the excitement of earlier. Suddenly, he remembered that his system might have rewarded him with something.

He opened his system interface and saw that he had indeed received three new skills:

Indeed, Mathias saw his reward which is:

"Blade Mastery": This skill allows the user to proficiently wield swords, daggers, or other edged weapons, delivering precise and deadly blows. The minimum requirements for this skill are a agility rating of 8.00 and a dexterity rating of 8.00.

"Unarmed Combat": This skill allows the user to fight effectively using only their bare hands, using punches, kicks, and other techniques to disable or defeat their enemies. The minimum requirements for this skill are a strength rating of 10.00, an agility rating of 12.00, and a dexterity rating of 10.00.

"Illusion": This skill allows the user to create complex and convincing illusions, tricking their enemies or allies into seeing things that are not real. The cost us 5 Mana per minute of use. The amount of Mana consumed depends on the number of illusions being created. Creating multiple illusions will consume more Mana than creating a single illusion.

Hoo! He earned a lot today!

Mathias smiled happily and illusion could solve his current predicament.

He stood up, naked, and walked to the door. Isabella's nervous face appeared as she said in a low tone, "Prince! I'm still here! Don't open!"

But Mathias simply said, "Haha, don't worry!" and used his Illusion skill.

Isabella felt a headache as she saw Mathias' naked body suddenly become clothed with Royal clothes.

She almost shouted in surprise, rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.

Mathias looked at her with an amused expression.

"Prince?" Edward's voice came from behind the door again.

Mathias nodded at Isabella, and then suddenly she disappeared, leaving only the bed visible.

Mathias had used an illusion to camouflage Isabella. Isabella couldn't see herself or her clothes and shouted in shock,

"What's happening?!" She wondered to herself where she was.

Mathias had expected such a reaction from Isabella and cast an illusion of sound near the door to muffle her voice.

Illusion magic could also trick someone's ears and block sound within a certain range, but it uses a lot of mana. Mathias added 10 points to his mana, increasing it by 100.

"Don't worry, Isabella. I just used a simple trick so Edward wouldn't notice you when you leave," Mathias said, dispelling the illusion on the bed and revealing Isabella again.

"Trick?" Isabella couldn't believe such a trick could be so shocking.

"Quickly get dressed and I'll cast an illusion on you so you can camouflage into the surroundings and Edward won't notice you," Mathias reminded her gently.

Isabella nodded, wanting to ask about the trick but deciding against it.

She got dressed and Mathias cast a camouflage illusion on her.

Mathias also got dressed, as constantly using illusion magic to imitate clothing is mana-consuming.

After he put on his royal clothes, he walked to the door and opened it.

Isabella, now seeming invisible, walked slowly to the door without being noticed by Butler Edward.

"Prince," Butler Edward said, bowing as he saw Mathias seemingly just waking up.

"Yes?" Mathias asked, frowning in confusion.

"Prince Mathias, I apologize for interrupting your sleep. I've been summoned by the head butler and have been ordered by Lady Julia to dismiss myself as your butler," Butler Edward said self-deprecatingly, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his tone.

"What?" Mathias frowned, although he didn't have much attachment to this butler compared to his predecessor, he still felt that this butler was acceptable and better than any of the other servants here, from his memories.

Butler Edward bowed his head, silent and helpless.
