Felyn didn’t say a word, simply focused on making dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was moving much faster than usual. Even the tips of his ears were turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi smiled contentedly at the awkward atmosphere between them. The only thing she regretted was that Viloti never actually managed to say the wordMaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had tried several times, but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to say it. Covering her face, she quickly fled back to the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, maybe it was better this way. Getting what you want too easily makes it dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when youcan’tget something does it become truly irresistible. Felyn would no doubt be haunted all night by the thought of Viloti whispering that word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like with clothing—what you don’t fully see is always more enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Felyn kept cooking in the kitchen, only two people remained on the sofa: Viloti, hugging her knees with her head buried between them, and Daiyi, stretched out sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right—poor Hermie had long been forgotten. It lay bored on the carpet, sleeping by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bond between those two was clearly growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as an outsider, Daiyi found herself thinking about the issue they wouldn’t be able to avoid forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as she knew, Viloti still had no idea that Felyn had approached her because of a contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their entire relationship was built on a fabricated lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And based on what she knew about Felyn, if he truly intended to be with Viloti, he would one day have to reveal everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That… wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, the contract likely included a clause forbidding Felyn from revealing its contents to Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he did find a way to tell her—how would Viloti react, knowing Felyn had been lying to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Felyn clearly had no intention of getting too close to Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sooner or later, he would have to choose between sticking to the contract and cutting things off, or coming clean and trying to start over honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either choice would come with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi rubbed her temples and shook her head. No point overthinking. There would be a way—this was Felyn, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti still hadn’t recovered from her earlier embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti… you don’t need to force yourself. I might’ve gone too far earlier…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Daiyi began to question if she’d crossed a line. She felt like she’d turned into some kind of villain, luring a naïve girl into temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-It’s fine… As long as it makes Felyn happy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You like him that much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti paused for a moment, then nodded with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…That’s really sweet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Daiyi watched Viloti’s eyes follow Felyn’s every move, her own smile slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is love…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I weren’t chosen as the Divine Child… if I hadn’t lost my consciousness… would my life be like hers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting at home for Felyn to come back and cook dinner, whispering “Master” in his ear while watching his face turn red—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That actually sounded kind of fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up Hermie and gently brushed its fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That she could even imagine such a thing surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she started her research into“the gods do not truly exist,”she had sworn to abandon all human emotions and close herself off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after meeting Felyn, that rational wall had slowly started to melt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like all the other heiresses Felyn had dealt with, Daiyi too had come to see him as her one and only link to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Love really is something…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She murmured again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But feelings like that shouldn’t belong to someone like her. They were meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she became the Divine Child, the so-called god—that thing—would never allow her to have personal emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No desires. No emotions. Only actions carried out according to some prescribed “law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could something like that really be called a god?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, Daiyi had noticed something odd about the concept of divinity in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no believers remained, gods would fall into slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not a single record of their existence was left behind, they would die completely—forgotten by all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So which came first? The god or the believer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were gods born of the human psyche, or did they precede it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the core of Daiyi’s research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying something like“gods exist only because we believe in them”was considered the ultimate blasphemy among the faithful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is why she’d always kept her distance from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she was unshakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hated the alienation, the judgmental stares, the sharp voices of rejection, even insults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only Felyn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Felyn treated the gods with little reverence. Only he didn’t scorn her research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn, like her, was… different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could stay with someone like him—what would her future look like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Felyn and Viloti together made her consider this for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the contract went on forever, would her life change?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she live a life like that, too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a purely rational perspective, all such speculation was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no abandoning the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Church would never let her refuse the role of Divine Child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the god… it wouldn’t stop just because she resisted. It would still overwrite her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever tiny spark had ignited in her heart—she smothered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hated hope. Hope brought emotions one shouldn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And hope always led to disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if gods existed, the world didn’t bend to human will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner began quickly and ended just as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how the sun rises… and falls. How hope appears… and disappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Daiyi returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only Felyn and Viloti were left in the modest living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, Hermie—less important tonight than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Daiyi had predicted, every time Felyn looked at Viloti’s lips, he couldn’t help but imagine the words she hadn’t finished saying earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti could clearly feel his gaze lingering more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The genius girl’s learning instincts kicked in—she now understood that her earlier action had drawn Felyn’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if she repeated it in the future… Felyn would react the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the classic theory of conditioned reflex—Felyn Edition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-Yes?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn took a sip of water. Did she somehow catch on to what I was thinking just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can help tutor you for the Royal Capital entrance exam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti still hadn’t forgotten what Adelina said earlier that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I think I’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“B-But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti didn’t want Felyn spending more time with Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of them alone together—unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even thoughshe herselfwas now alone in Felyn’s house, if the other girls found out, they’d probably go crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. I’m confident I’ll pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn lied again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t confident at all. He just… didn’t want Viloti to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how firm he was, Viloti didn’t press the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what about your divine affinity score…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti was well aware of his affinity score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also knew that if it was-1, no academy would accept him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That… I have a plan for that too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right as he said it, Felyn’s communication spell lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Felyn! I’m free this weekend. Want to go to the dungeon together?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Or maybe we can browse the dungeon-side shops Friday night? I’d like to—】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was suddenly retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【White-Haired Diva (Former Client) has recalled a message.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I still haven’t bought any gear… How about you come with me Friday? I’ll cover your equipment too. That way we’ll be safer in the dungeon, right?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","904a4ce2d8c538dfbebee3139a2b715d77535fa915afe3171c4b4f8c149494fb","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-233","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-231",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
