Could I go to your box with you instead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all these people, Dorothy had to maintain her royal etiquette—it was exhausting. She longed for a quiet, private space where she could fully enjoy Zervanie’s performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the royal family, one must always remain poised, graceful, and dignified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi hesitated. She knew Felyn was a bit uncomfortable around the princess. Would it really be a good idea to let the two of them meet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Miss Daiyi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy gently clutched her hand, pouting ever so slightly. “Just for a little while, we’ll sneak out and sneak right back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi pulled out her communication seal and sent a message to Bernice, confirming Felyn’s current location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing that Felyn wasn’t in the box, Daiyi forwarded Dorothy’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the adjacent box—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bernice lowered the seal and stole a glance at Felyn and Adelina, who seemed to be in a bit of a spat. She couldn’t help but giggle to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes earlier—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had come to a sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling at another girl in front of a client—that was an inexcusable mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When on duty, the client should always be the center of his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clients were all difficult young ladies with delicate hearts. The more sensitive they were, the more careful he needed to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this wasn’t technically within contract hours, he had already decided to take care of Adelina tonight. That meant following his professional service standards to the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn reflected seriously on his slip-up, determined not to let it happen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adelina, would you like some water? Or maybe something to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Mr. Felyn. I’m fine for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was overly polite—far too formal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Felyn smiling at Zervanie, something inside her twisted. It made her feel worse than when she saw him with Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie’s a bad woman. Felyn, have you fallen for her charms too?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Adelina use such formal language, Felyn realized she was even more upset than he’d thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about a shoulder massage, then? Watching a concert like this can be tiring.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, Mr. Felyn. Miss Zervanie’s performance is more than enough to soothe the soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina sat perfectly upright, her back straight and her posture refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Felyn looked at her, she turned slightly away, letting her rose-tea-colored hair fall to cover half her face. All he could see were her trembling lashes and her faintly flushed cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And somehow… Felyn thought she looked a little cute like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so used to seeing her confident and capable that catching a glimpse of this more vulnerable side of her was unexpectedly endearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since the client was clearly unhappy, he needed to cheer her up—quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Felyn fall silent, Adelina grew more restless and stole a peek at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he mad at me? Does he think I’m being unreasonable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of unease washed over her. Her breathing grew shallow, her usual confidence replaced by the jittery nervousness of adolescence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still… I really do feel upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it have to be Zervanie? She’s obviously just a lying temptress—everything about her is an act!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina’s arms, which had been tightly crossed over her chest, slowly relaxed. Her body softened just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why isn’t he saying anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he think I’m childish? Or maybe… maybe he really does like Zervanie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lower lip. A hint of panic and frustration flashed across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to speak up and try to patch things over—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn finally said something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zervanie really is beautiful, isn’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina’s heart skipped a beat. She stared at him in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially when she’s on stage—she really shines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light in Adelina’s gray-blue eyes dimmed. She pressed her hands to her cheeks, blinking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Seeing her like that, Adelina, made me think of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn’s tone shifted as he reached out and gently took her hands, still resting against her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look at her expression—just felt the soft tremble of her fingers in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just like Miss Zervanie, you shine brightly in your own field. You’re just as dazzling, just as captivating. That’s what made me smile. Because in her, I saw a glimpse of you. When I looked at her, I thought of you—my Adelina.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina’s expression softened, like winter snow beginning to melt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stiff demeanor eased, and the tight lines between her brows gently smoothed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You always say the sweetest things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice no longer carried that cold formality—it was warm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Felyn had successfully coaxed her back to her usual self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t quite finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his eyes toward the stage, watching Zervanie perform, and murmured thoughtfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zervanie is a star in the sky, a gem that belongs to the whole world. But me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina tilted her head curiously, “Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn scratched his head, looking away shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I really have to say it? You better not laugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t laugh,” Adelina replied solemnly. “I swear on the name of House Claude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Zervanie belongs to the world. But I—I want to belong only to you, Adelina.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took her a few seconds to fully process what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to belong only to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words echoed through every corner of her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like someone had poured rose-colored paint all over her. From her cheeks to the tips of her ears, she flushed a deep, beautiful pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing grew visibly uneven, her chest rising and falling with each breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands hovered awkwardly in the air before flustering down to her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","d6ae48e6b273812b6740ada470ce728e97fc102491d055855c1966ca184211ef","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-187","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-185",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
