You’re out and about today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Out and about? That sounds kind of weird.” Zervanie adjusted her hat, revealing her pale pink earrings to Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just happened to be out for a little human expression observation today, and—what a coincidence—I ended up observing you. Imagine that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidence did exist in the world, but it certainly didn’t happen this often. Running into Felyn wasn’t a coincidence at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finding out that Felyn was a student at Saint Andros Academy, Zervanie would hang around the nearby streets whenever she had free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were only a few roads leading to the academy. Eventually, she'd run into him one way or another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What were you just muttering about, saying it’s hard to find the right person?” she asked, having overheard his grumbling. Naturally, she was curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Felyn looking for the right person to marry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I meant for team-building. I was talking about forming a team,” Felyn quickly explained, feeling it might be a bit awkward to talk to Zervanie about his frustrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A team? For what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing. Just talking to myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Zervanie wore a cropped long-sleeve top that exposed her waist, paired with a black leather mini-skirt and brown knee-high boots. Her slender legs looked even more enticing in that outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you wearing that today?” Felyn pointed at her exposed waist, clearly trying to change the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you like it?” Zervanie tugged at her top nervously, watching Felyn’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks good.” Her perfectly pale waist seemed to glow, and Felyn couldn’t help stealing another glance. “But with weather like this, wearing a cropped top? You’re going to catch a chill. Aren’t you cold?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t catch anything!” Zervanie stomped her foot defiantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s freezing out here! If it weren’t for you, Felyn, there’s no way I’d dress like this in this weather!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn looked down at his own school jacket, then back at Zervanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement caught her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze. Could it be—was Felyn worried about her? Was he about to offer her his jacket?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn! My sweet, sweet Felyn! You do care about me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already cold even for me in this jacket. Zervanie, you’re really something. Built different,” Felyn said, giving her a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie stood frozen, at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, realization struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn just said I’m resistant to cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had no idea Zervanie was a lost cause already. All he knew was that he was running late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zervanie, I’ve gotta run. Let’s talk another time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he jogged off toward school, leaving Zervanie standing there, still glowing from his “praise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… Felyn said I’m awesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People nearby, witnessing the scene, all made a point to walk around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they saw was a girl in the middle of the street acting strangely while wearing a mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem.” Zervanie coughed twice, clutching her exposed waist. Okay, maybe itwasa bit cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Felyn had said about finding “the right person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did he mean by that? Why wouldn’t he tell me? Could it be… Felyn is trying to find a girlfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed and guessed, but couldn’t pin down what was really going on in Felyn’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the direction he had left in, Zervanie soon arrived at the gates of Saint Andros Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched the bustling crowd pass by and suddenly had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I sneak into the school and ask around, I can find out what Felyn meant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, a masked figure moving stealthily appeared inside the academy grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top idol, Zervanie had fan clubs in all the elite schools. Getting the Saint Andros fan club president to sneak her in wasn’t hard at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the school was massive. Where should she start?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She headed for the area where Felyn’s year was located. Someone as good-looking as him surely wouldn’t go unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough—bingo. Everyone knew him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s a follower of some seductive evil god. You should stay far away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn? Oh, everyone knows him. He’s Miss Viloti’s boyfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You like Felyn too, don’t you? Wait… Are you Miss Bernice? Oh, you’re not? So now there’sanothergirl who likes him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single answer felt like a dagger to Zervanie’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She came for answers, but didn’t get a single clear one. Instead, she got her heart shredded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also…Who the hell is Bernice?!Why does another new girl suddenly like Felyn now?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I keep setting myself up for disappointment? Asking around won’t get me anywhere like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhausted from questioning people, Zervanie sat on a bench and rubbed her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there’s anyone in this school who really knows Felyn… it’s that one girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Viloti Silafiel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was basically Felyn’s little shadow these days—always sticking close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could just ask her!” Zervanie sat up excitedly, then sat right back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What am I thinking?! Like Viloti would tell me anything. She’d probably throw me out on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie buried her head in her hands, frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m justtoocurious about what Felyn meant… It’s driving me crazy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t thereanyoneelse in this school who had a good relationship with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, you really should try making more friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. Where’s your uniform?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask, and you shall receive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie looked up to find a blonde girl standing in front of her. She looked familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Linda, the student council president. I noticed you weren’t in uniform and were sitting here alone with a mask on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda sat beside her and gently placed an arm around her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did someone bully you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie had heard of Linda, the council president. She was also known to be on good terms with Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she knew Felyn too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you heard of a student named Felyn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn? Of course! Did he bully you? Wait… don’t tell me you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie glanced at the large clock hanging on the academic building. Lunch break would start soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once lunch ended, she’d have to leave for her next event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one else was around, she slowly pulled off her hat and mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda reacted like a boiling kettle, letting out a high-pitched shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Zervanie! I—I didn’t expect it to be you! I-I-I-I—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda was completely starstruck upon seeing the empire’s most popular idol. Her face turned bright red, and she could barely speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shh!” Zervanie pressed a finger to her lips, urging her to keep quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing here? Oh my god, I can’t believe this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to observe student life—to gather inspiration for my new song.” Zervanie offered a simple explanation before smoothly steering the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just happened to hear some rumors about a student named Felyn and got curious. Do you know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do! He just came to my office yesterday to get a stamp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s nothing confidential about Felyn’s situation, so Linda didn’t hide anything from Zervanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, she was completely mesmerized. Whatever Zervanie asked, she answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A stamp? For what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the early examination approval form from the Capital. Felyn qualified for the early testing round yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie felt like she was getting close to the truth. “Does that have anything to do with forming a team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team?” Linda thought for a moment. “Probably for dungeon monster hunts. That boosts favorability with the gods, which helps with entrance assessments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie finally had her answer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Linda. I’ve got something to do, so I’ll head off now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lunch bell rang just then. Zervanie didn’t have much time left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Felyn was in trouble, then she had to help him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—Lady Zervanie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda watched as Zervanie dashed away, her voice growing fainter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something didn’t feel right. Lady Zervanie seemedreallyinterested in Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was way too specific with her questions… almost like she wanted to know his entire schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way… no way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… the empire’s top idol, Lady Zervanie, also has a crush on Felyn?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linda suddenly went limp and collapsed onto the bench, her vision going dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been anyone else, she would’ve laughed at the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasFelyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy who had Viloti and Adelina completely head over heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it washim, then… honestly, anything was possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I have to tell Adelina right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with a choice between her idol and her best friend, Linda chose Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her Communication Seal and tapped on Adelina’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ca1c822f704ea3504df35fd4e34ce05fb1a0e06b40a3f6b0a3d223b53d756fe","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-219","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-217",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
