Right now, all he could think was—Zervanie's really become this popular?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the number 150,000 turned into a real sight before his eyes, Felyn realized that Zervanie’s influence was far greater than he’d ever imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her autograph must be worth a fortune now. Maybe giving all fifty autographs to the princess was a bit of a loss...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Felyn wore a deep navy-blue suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and lean frame. His hair was neatly styled, with a few loose strands casually falling over his forehead. A silver brooch on his chest glimmered under the evening light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t lined up with the crowd in the plaza. Instead, he rode in a carriage with Daiyi, avoiding the sea of people as they made their way toward the VIP entrance behind the theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While most of the students present were children of high-ranking clergy or elite families—people who would be considered VIPs anywhere else—in the Siveshus Empire, only royalty and a select few nobles had access to tonight’s true VIP passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the carriage turned a corner, the enormous crowd finally disappeared from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn leaned against the door, eyes sweeping past the heavily armed guards lining the streets. From behind him, the faint fragrance drifting off Daiyi made the space feel like a bamboo grove after a spring rain—light, fresh, and sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Daiyi was stunning. So beautiful, in fact, that Felyn found it hard to look directly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bathed in the golden sunset, she looked like a goddess stepping out of a shattered fresco. She reclined lazily by the window, the dark velvet gown tracing the lines of her graceful figure. Her usually loose black hair had been swept up into a high bun, with a few strands trailing elegantly along her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her emerald-green earrings swayed gently with the motion of the carriage, accentuating a face already flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t put me on the list tonight, darling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi noticed Felyn’s gaze. She tucked her hair behind her ear and teased him playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m here with you tonight, won’t the gods get jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn’t answer immediately. The wind stirred his hair as he leaned on one hand, gazing out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi’s curious voice echoed softly within the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jealous I’ve changed my faith.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn turned toward her slowly, his gaze gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From faithfully worshipping the gods… to now worshipping only you. You’re the one I believe in now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi’s words caught in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Felyn with wide emerald eyes, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she quickly turned her head away, awkwardly avoiding his gaze as her eyes dropped to the carpet beneath her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Saying stuff like that again… seriously…” she murmured, but the flush creeping up her ears betrayed the ripple in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Daiyi flustered for once instantly lifted Felyn’s mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, he’d been worrying about running into Princess Dorothy at the concert, and about how to face Daiyi’s father afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Felyn, this concert was far from carefree or enjoyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage rolled down a long avenue and finally reached the security checkpoint for the VIP entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handful of nobles were already lined up for inspection by the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn stepped out first and turned back, extending his hand to Daiyi, palm up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi hesitated for a split second, but before she could place her hand in his, Felyn gently wrapped his warm palm around her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with careful grace, he helped her down from the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even after she landed, he didn’t let go. Instead, he naturally intertwined their fingers, walking hand in hand as if they truly were lovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F-Felyn…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi stared at their clasped hands, her voice a quiet murmur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all her usual teasing, physical contact between them had been rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could feel the warmth of his hand and the slight dampness of his palm—perhaps he was nervous too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a line here too?” Felyn looked ahead at the long queue. The people in front were all young and clearly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re the delegations from Saint Andros and Lanchester Academies. You didn’t know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Delegation? Wait, wait, wait—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn’s eyes widened. He frantically scanned the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough—at the very front stood a girl with radiant rose-tea colored hair—Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are they here?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely thrown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her Highness invited them,” Daiyi replied calmly. “She said luring the next generation of nobles with VIP seats to a concert was a great deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Her Highness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn immediately pictured the clingy, slightly delicate, pink-and-purple Princess Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s trying to recruit nobles? Isn’t that a royal affair? Are you even allowed to be telling me this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn led Daiyi to the back of the line, still scanning for Viloti’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the big deal? Aren’t we… lovers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because he was holding her hand, but this time, Daiyi stumbled over the word lovers—a word she normally said without the slightest hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s building her own faction,” Daiyi added. Then her tone shifted. “Right, about that plan I mentioned to seduce the demon witch… Have you changed your mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I still don’t want to be a Hero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the three main Churches in a power imbalance, the Siveshus Empire had become a target for outside forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan was to seduce the Demon Lord’s daughter and awaken the Demon Lord, making him side with the Empire—thus deterring the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made logical sense, but it was utterly insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reward? Not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No amount of money could justify saving a morally bankrupt nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Alright, that’s fine too,” Daiyi murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her eyes followed Felyn’s gaze forward, and she spotted Adelina among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, gently, she slipped her hand out of Felyn’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I… squeeze your hand too tightly?” He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Her jade earrings gave off a soft chime as she turned, “That girl with the rose-tea colored hair—she’s your client, isn’t she? Adelina?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at Adelina. The two of them had briefly met at Felyn’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the conversations they’d had, it wasn’t hard to guess that the Claude family heiress was one of his clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If she sees us holding hands, she’ll be heartbroken,” Daiyi whispered, leaning close to his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she was closer than ever before—close enough that Felyn could feel her warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We shouldn’t let her see us like this. If we’re going to hold hands… let’s do it where no one can see. I mean… isn’t that the considerate thing to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Daiyi say something so unexpectedly thoughtful filled Felyn with an odd sense of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey—don’t make it sound like I’m some two-timing scumbag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just two clients crossing paths—why did he feel so guilty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn… you’re so clueless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she watched him struggle with his feelings, the corners of Daiyi’s lips curled ever so slightly—revealing a tiny, victorious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a954316454e547df479a2bc1e5581f413f4f7e9195c036117611c3f9732d944","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-182","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-180",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
