Upon hearing these heartwarming words, Alberto's eyes instantly reddened. He tightly clutched the bag of heavy Gold Coin, his voice trembling slightly with gratitude.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness! I... I am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!"
It seemed mere gratitude was insufficient to express the emotions in his chest. He paused for a moment and continued to speak with a voice so excited he was incoherent.
"Your Highness, I must say, you truly are different from the other professors in the academy! They mess things up and then try to push the responsibility onto those below them. Only you are willing to admit... Of course, I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that I want to express..."
Seeing Alberto fumbling for words, unsure of how to express himself, Luo Yan smiled and waved his hand, steering the topic away.
His gaze returned to that deflated hot air balloon, and his approving eyes were like those admiring a piece of art.
