I hope this isn’t what I think it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What worries you, Your Majesty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s violet eyes offered no answer, plunging the room into absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Elizabeth found herself alone with Thalassa in her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter looked noticeably nervous, but relieved to see that Adela had left without suspecting anything. Thalassa looked Elizabeth in the eyes, letting an almost imperceptible gleam cross her pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for trusting me in front of her, Elizabeth,\" murmured the mermaid in a voice that sounded strangely melodic and captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth blinked a couple of times, feeling an unusual warmth that clouded her judgment for a second before she regained her professional composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was the most logical thing to do, Thalassa. Your power is necessary for the plan against the Lothe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalassa smiled faintly—a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days after Cassane lost control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Elara was heading to a class when Valeria Astaford stopped her in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mother wants to see you. I think you understand why,\" Valeria stated in her usual direct tone. \"Sylvia and my mother have been friends for a long time. If she supported you, it’s not strange that my mother is interested in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden-haired woman tried to maintain her composure so her nerves wouldn’t show. She knew that facing the matriarch of the Astaford family was a trial by fire. If she managed to convince her, the throne of Demor would be much closer to her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go see her on Sunday afternoon,\" Elara replied, recovering her confident air. \"Tell her to expect me that day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valeria nodded slightly and looked at her, hesitating whether to say anything else. The silence stretched for a second before she decided to speak honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should bring the Marchioness Vane with you, or anyone else who supports you...\" Valeria warned in a somber tone. \"She won’t go easy on you, Elara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the \"Ice Queen,\" who was feeling much better now, stood in front of a certain someone’s door. She raised her hand to knock, but stopped right there, her fist hanging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Cassane... it’s just thanking him for the other day. It’s not that hard,\" she whispered to herself, trying to recover her usual coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm... but what if I’m bothering him?\" she murmured immediately, turning around ready to flee from the men’s dormitories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassane smacked both her cheeks with her hands to pull herself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I have to see him. Besides... he owes me a date,\" she added, while an intense blush covered her face, completely betraying her title as the Ice Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, before she could knock, Adela suddenly opened the door. She looked with deep puzzlement at the woman standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassane, upon seeing the woman who always followed Cassian, immediately tried to regain her untouchable appearance and asked with forced calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Cassian here? I wanted to see my fiancé.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adela shot her a sharp look; if that gaze could cut, Cassane would already be in pieces. The air grew heavy between the two, a silent friction that neither was willing to yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll tell him you came to see him,\" Adela replied in a frigid voice. \"If he doesn’t want to see you, don’t expect me to insist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for a response, Adela turned around, leaving the \"Ice Queen\" waiting in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Cassian, who was lying down, noticed that Adela had returned too quickly and frowned upon seeing her sour expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your little ice cube is at the door, Master,\" Adela said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassian raised an eyebrow, silently asking what exactly she meant by that nickname. But after a second of silence, he let out an amused laugh once he understood who was waiting outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell her to come in,\" he ordered calmly, \"and then come help me change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adela nodded, though she couldn’t hide the resentment in her gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the woman sitting in front of me, anxiously staring at her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is a woman whom fate seems to drag me toward constantly, no matter how much I try to ignore her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what did you want to tell me?\" I asked as I sat down relaxed in the chair opposite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped fidgeting with her hands and began interrogating me with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, I wanted to thank you for the other day... It seems I can control my attribute much better now. But... I can’t help but wonder: what level are you currently at? You can’t hide it from me anymore. You clearly used some kind of energy that day—whether aura or mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her with exhaustion, unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think I owe you any explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassane bit her lip, clearly annoyed by my response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you do owe me something, remember? You stood me up on Saturday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you know what happened that day, don’t you? And I also don’t remember promising I would go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s too late now. Since you don’t want to explain anything, at least come with me to do what we couldn’t do the other day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My face said it all: accompanying her on some boring outing was not on my agenda. She immediately noticed my contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you looking at me like that? Going out with me is not a waste of time. Anyone in this Academy, or any noble our age, would give anything to go out with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cancel the engagement, Cassane. I have no intention of playing house with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My words were the spark that ignited the fire. Her eyes shone with dangerous determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more you ask me to cancel it, the less I’ll do it. You’ll see; you’ll end up begging me to keep it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I watch her storm out of my room angrily, I start to have a bad feeling: this woman is going to bring me a lot more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone who would definitely fulfill those words arrived not long after Cassane left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman soaked by the early morning rain, wearing a black cloak and clearly showing urgency and anxiety in her posture, as if she were fleeing from something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, hidden in the shadow of her hood, locked onto mine with an intensity that left no room for doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cassian...\" she murmured, her voice broken by cold and exhaustion. \"I had nowhere else to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-05T23:28:49.074Z",1,"novelbin.me","400690ae9067ba88b0204a09251c0a2b7294e61c35a4d95bdff0e182c14927f4","absolute-god-an-immortal-soul-among-nobles-chapter-59","absolute-god-an-immortal-soul-among-nobles-chapter-57",97,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabsolute-god-an-immortal-soul-among-nobles-cover.jpg"]
