Felyn. Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew every word. So why did putting them together feel so… wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be fake. Definitely fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she’d misread it. Or maybe the person who sent that message was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Viloti—the owner of the Communication Seal—returned, responding to Adelina’s earlier call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina quickly averted her gaze, pretending to fiddle with the documents on the table, clearly guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the others from St. Andros Academy, Viloti was wearing a white-and-red uniform today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a stranger were to walk into the crowded classroom, their eyes would land on her first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was simply that dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why didn’t their eyes land on Adelina? Because at that moment, she was hiding behind a stack of files, stealing glances at Viloti’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Viloti glance down at the seal, tap it once… and then freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long pink hair draped gently over the glowing artifact, hiding her face from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it mattered. Viloti rarely showed emotion anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I say something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina hesitated. But the answer came swiftly—no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it would be rude to admit she’d read someone else’s message. Second… she had no right to interfere with the people around Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adelina, break time’s over. Let’s begin,” said Linda, pulling her attention back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Oh—right, okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was growing late, but the classroom buzzed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal capital’s sponsorship had come through, and preparations for the academy’s centennial celebration were officially underway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was busy assigning budgets, defining responsibilities, and debating the event’s theme, contents, and format.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was also fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing things with classmates that went beyond schoolwork—those were some of the happiest moments of student life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if someone you liked happened to be there too? That happiness multiplied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me now share St. Andros Academy’s proposed schedule—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Adelina had presented Lanchester Academy’s plans, it was Linda’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina watched Linda’s mouth move, but didn’t hear a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was filled with the image of a dungeon—not a dark, terrifying place filled with monsters and traps, but one bathed in sunlight, with a cool breeze and a gentle grassy slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake in the distance sparkled, a fine mist softening the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there, sitting together on the grass… were Felyn and Zervanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie, with her perfect acting skills, would no doubt charm innocent Felyn step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F-Felyn, I can’t open this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, Felyn! You’re amazing! How did you do that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie would cradle her cheeks in her hands, flashing an enchanting smile with that bright, bubbly expression of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d listen attentively to his answers, nodding along sweetly, inching closer all the while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d pretend her legs were sore, then slyly lift her skirt under the guise of massaging them, revealing just enough skin to tempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, my legs are a little sore… I’m sorry, I’m such a burden. Could you rub them for me? Boys are stronger, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, acting completely nonchalant, she’d grab his hand and place it right on her thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina slapped her palms on the desk, jolting herself out of the daydream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adelina? What’s wrong?” Linda stared at her in concern, thinking she was upset about the event planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-No, sorry! It was… a bug. You can keep going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blushing furiously, Adelina gave a flustered excuse to calm the situation down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way. She couldn’t let Zervanie be alone with Felyn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wicked woman would definitely chase after Felyn, play with him until she got bored, and then toss him aside like garbage—poor Felyn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina thought back to the countless romance novels she’d read in preparation to get closer to Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were always evil love rivals like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Viloti again and saw that the girl still showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t she care?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I overthinking it? Am I just being too sensitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, I really don’t have the right to interfere with Felyn’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I show up in front of him, he’ll probably just hate me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina sighed softly, resting her cheek on one hand and turning her gaze away from Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouldn’t have read that message…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not like I can do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around her, the student council members continued presenting their reports, full of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the student council president sat there, silently sulking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by in the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, everyone. Take the weekend to rest. Next week, we’ll be very busy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina closed the meeting, watching Linda and the others file out one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was still filled with the cheerful chatter of people excitedly discussing the celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Adelina and Viloti remained still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina could feel it—that chilly young lady beside her clearly had something she wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed like she didn’t know how to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti… do you have any plans for tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she wasn’t saying anything, Adelina decided to take the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she didn’t, she felt like the two of them would be stuck like this until morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.” Adelina didn’t get the answer she wanted. She rose from her chair and began packing her files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t go tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti’s voice came from behind, making Adelina’s fingertips tremble as they gripped the papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti? What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, Felyn and Miss Zervanie are going to the dungeon. You can’t go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took two steps forward. The words were firm, but her tone carried a hint of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina’s hands stopped moving. Her rose-colored hair cascaded down her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-I know that, but I just… I just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath and tilted her head back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Felyn will hate you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn hated people who tried to meddle in his private life—especially “contract clients” like her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing up uninvited, trying to control who he spent time with—how laughable was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just worried Zervanie might pull something… play dirty tricks. I’m afraid Felyn might get hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that’s his choice. I don’t want to interfere.” Viloti placed one hand on the desk and met Adelina’s eyes. “Besides, Felyn isn’t so easily fooled. He’s smart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if he ends up with another girl, you still wouldn’t interfere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina suddenly wondered if maybe she was just being narrow-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she was overreacting—maybe Felyn and Zervanie really were just teaming up to clear monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. Felyn might be pure, but that Zervanie woman? Definitely not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl knows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina could sense all of Zervanie’s little tricks and schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she had shoved down all those complicated feelings about Felyn and Zervanie, she still genuinely worried for his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a dungeon, after all. Could Zervanie really protect him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if Felyn hates me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His safety is more important than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina packed her bag. Under Viloti’s quiet gaze, she walked toward the door and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just so happen to be training my seal skills in the dungeon tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Viloti could say anything, she raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know what you’re going to say. I won’t interfere with Felyn. But this kind of thing… it’s hard to prove. It’d be great if someone could keep an eye on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina figured—since she had learned about the situation by peeking at Viloti’s message, sneaking around behind everyone’s back would only tarnish her name further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets of the Mist District were nearly deserted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi opened her bedroom window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a girl with black-and-red streaked hair sat casually on the ledge, swinging her long, divine legs—legs that could only be described as miracles in themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything was normal today. No issues,” reported Bernice, her tone relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi nodded, her fingers pinching the corner of a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bernice, I have something to ask of you tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had already prepared her meals for the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And tonight, he’d gone out with Zervanie to shop for dungeon supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi didn’t need much effort to guess what he’d be doing tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? A request from the young lady herself? I’ll agree to anything. What is it—want me to spy on which girl Felyn’s flirting with this time?” Bernice joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Daiyi didn’t reply, she realized something was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi quietly put away her book, carefully hiding her notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...It’s him. Felyn’s going into the dungeon tomorrow. I want you to watch over him, make sure nothing bad happens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he going alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Zervanie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.” Bernice stood, her whole body lifting effortlessly into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll make sure the songstress doesn’t get too close to him. Unless… youwantto see them get close?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women were impossible to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a girl herself, Bernice still felt that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no idea what her young lady was thinking anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if I go to the dungeon, what about you? You won’t have anyone by your side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anything happens to me, just rush back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi rested her chin on her palm and finally showed a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow… now I’ve got to babysit your boyfriend and protect the delicate young lady? What am I, your couple’s personal concierge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1539,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","70c0ff2e71c7fd535312566c60bee95999516b1fc990ebbee1a2103eef065c6d","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-238","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-236",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
