She often asked, “Do you like me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he’d always throw the question back at her, which would usually make her blush and stop asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think… you said it for my sake. That way, you could help shift Adeline’s anger onto you instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes or no. When given that choice, picking “or” was always the safest bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti nodded, half-understanding, but didn’t argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now I owe you one again… Feels like I’ve been troubling you a lot lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, when someone does you a favor, you have to repay it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn went quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did Viloti become so forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti gently tugged at Felyn’s sleeve, her eyes dodging his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this time, the favor I did for you… was really big. So this favor… is huge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any clear-headed person could see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Felyn didn’t handle this right, Adeline and the powerful Claude family behind her would scatter his ashes to the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A big favor, huh… then I should return it with an even bigger one. Do something huge for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Felyn didn’t pull her hand away. He let her tug on his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the troubled look on Viloti’s face, and the way her eyes avoided his, Felyn assumed she hadn’t yet figured out what favor to ask for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still thinking? No need to rush. You can take your time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti shook her head, her earrings chiming softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve thought it through… I just don’t know if you’ll agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as it’s not ‘go fight Adeline,’ I’ll probably say yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti burst into laughter at that. Her lips curled into a shy yet sweet arc. Her eyes bent with warmth, softening her otherwise cold and refined face, like a towering iceberg beginning to melt, sending cool meltwater crashing into Felyn’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t her usual polite smile for the public. That was a smile from the heart, a smile that belonged only to Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the kind of smile only gods could make?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti’s smile… Was it always this beautiful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Felyn frozen stiff, Viloti tilted her head. Her long pink hair slipped from her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She touched the corner of her mouth, realizing she was smiling, she quickly hid it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I look weird when I smile?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti, even someone as beautiful as you has this kind of anxiety? Not weird at all. I think it’s really pretty. Why would you think that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I don’t smile much… I feel like smiling doesn’t suit me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn looked at Viloti’s solemn expression and couldn’t help but pat her head gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t like smiling, then don’t smile. You still look amazing without it. There’s no need to care what others think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti’s amber eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt the soft warmth of his hand on her head, a comforting, peaceful warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And honestly, you look great when you smile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A recluse’s ultimate fantasy, but it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Felyn’s words, Viloti swayed side to side slightly, trying to shake off the overwhelming shyness and joy in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers curled nervously, first gripping her skirt, then brushing her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you thought about what you want me to help with?” Felyn reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm, I’ve thought it through. But when I say it, please don’t get mad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’m ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn steadied himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why am I… a little nervous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti’s serious face..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she about to ask him to take down House of Silafiel’s enemies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, tonight… I want you to listen to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sentence hadsomuch room for misinterpretation it shook Felyn to his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti… just to be sure, where exactly are we going tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just around the school—like the little grove, or the wishing fountain. Those kinds of places are fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…We’re not going to bed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn’s lips twitched. He really didn’t think Viloti was that kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… was she this bold because of Adeline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Bed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti finally realized what she’d been implying. She gripped Felyn’s collar even tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, it’s not what you think… I—I won’t ask you to do anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I also won’t ask you not to do anything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t say that last part out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it? Then that’s actually kind of a relief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do have a small request though.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti blinked, looking a little embarrassed, then leaned close to Felyn’s ear and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope… tonight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything you say to me is the truth. Okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried Felyn might say no, Viloti hurried to add:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you find the topic embarrassing, you don’t have to answer. I won’t force you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that’s fair. I don’t think it’s a problem. Is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti’s smile bloomed again, like a rare night flower that blooms for only one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far off, Linda was sneaking around, under orders from Adeline to check if there were any new developments between Felyn and Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline had told Linda everything, almost made her brain explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn likes Adeline?
