Chapter 377 : I'm Laying My Cards On The Table, No More Pretending.

The air froze.

Everyone present, except for Daiyi, wore the same expression as Dorothy.

Adeline couldn't comprehend Daiyi's words.

(What do you mean, I am the future Divine Child of the Church of Truth?)

(Aren't you Felyn's sister?!)

(Aren't you Daiyi Sorester?!)

"Wh-when did Felyn... join the Church of Truth?" Adeline stammered, unable to make sense of the situation before her.

"Felyn? He didn't. He's just an ordinary citizen of the Empire." Daiyi's hand trembled slightly. The thought of what she was about to say made her heart pound with nervousness.

"Then Miss Daiyi, you..."

"I am Daiyi Aurelian, daughter of the Elder of the Church of Truth, and of course, the future Divine Child of the church," Daiyi explained, she could clearly feel the other's body begin to stiffen.

Not just Adeline in front of her, but Viloti beside her also wore an expression of disbelief.

"Th-then... you're not Felyn's sister?"

"No, I'm sorry I deceived you," Daiyi said, bowing to the two in apology.

She hadn't intended to deceive them, but the circumstances at the time did not allow Daiyi and Felyn's identity as a fake couple to be exposed.

"Wait, Miss Daiyi. You're not Felyn's sister, th-this means that if you and Felyn are living in the same house, something might happen..."

Daiyi nodded, "Yes, logically speaking, something might happen."

Adeline could see Dorothy behind Daiyi, hands clutching the sofa, her body looking like it was about to melt onto the floor.

"But nothing has happened between us. Felyn doesn't like me right now."

This sentence managed to get Dorothy to stand up again, albeit shakily.

"But unfortunately, I like Felyn now."

Thump!

Daiyi quickly turned around to see Dorothy had fallen to the ground, hugging her body and curled up into a ball.

"Dorothy? What's wrong?"

The pinkish-purple long hair behind Dorothy began to float. She took a deep breath and squeezed out a sentence: "Why do you like Felyn too!"

From this moment on, Dorothy swore she would never make friends again.

The first friend she made was Daiyi.

The second friend she made was Zervanie.

Both of them wanted to snatch her big brother Felyn away!

(Why is it like this?)

(Why is it like this!)

Hearing Dorothy's question, Daiyi immediately understood what was going on.

(Oh?)

(An unexpected situation?)

(Felyn even managed to win over the princess?)

(Is there anyone he can't win over?)

(Right, the Divine Child of the Church of Order is also here tonight. That's a true Divine Child where man and god coexist.)

(Should Felyn challenge the limit and see if he can win over the Divine Child as well?)

"Daiyi, what on earth is going on?!" Dorothy struggled to her feet and took a few slow steps towards Daiyi.

"It's actually quite simple," Daiyi said, not beating around the bush and admitting it directly.

"I came to Seiva for some reason and have been living here. I wanted to annoy my father, so I just wanted to find someone to pretend to be a couple with."

Daiyi's gaze flickered towards Viloti. She tried her best to choose her words carefully, to avoid letting Viloti detect the existence of the contract.

"Felyn and I happened to know each other before. He was the only acquaintance I had in Seiva, so I asked him to pretend to be my lover." Daiyi altered a part of the truth.

But now, Viloti had no heart to care about these details. She just wanted to know how far this Miss Daiyi, with whom she had a decent relationship, had gone with Felyn!

Recently, when she visited Felyn's house, Viloti always felt that Daiyi's gaze would sometimes land on Felyn.

At the time, she just thought it might be the affection between family members.

But thinking about it now, what affection!

"At first, we were just pretending to be lovers to deal with my father. But one time I had a fight with my father, and he cut off my financial support, so I had nowhere to live."

"Felyn kindly suggested renting his room to me. To avoid causing any misunderstanding, I played the role of his sister in front of others."

"But as time went on, I found that I couldn't seem to leave Felyn. He would prepare delicious food for me every day, remember my taste preferences, and manage everything around me in an orderly manner."

"I found that I gradually got used to a life with Felyn. In the morning, I would deliberately check if Felyn had left me a note, and at night, I would leave a light on for him to come home. We would occasionally go shopping in Homhote, buying some couple's clothes or something."

"In this game of pretending to be lovers, I found myself becoming more and more addicted. Gradually, I started to take it seriously. Coupled with a series of recent events, I think I might have just fallen for Felyn."

After saying all this, Daiyi let out a sigh of relief.

Her purpose in saying these things was to provoke the young ladies around her.

It was also to participate in the war for Felyn, just like the young ladies around her.

But were these words her true feelings, or were they lies she had specially fabricated?

Felyn wasn't here, so no one knew.

Perhaps even Daiyi herself didn't know.

But what was certain was that when she said these words, the impression of Felyn in her heart deepened once again.

"B-but you're the Divine Child..." Adeline was the first to grasp the crux of the problem.

The Divine Child cannot fall in love and must be a virgin.

"That's right. So everyone, rest assured, nothing has happened between me and Felyn. Felyn probably doesn't know my feelings right now either. My progress is far behind yours, so you don't have to worry about me at all."

Daiyi didn't want to lie to the young ladies that she was already with Felyn.

She also didn't want to twist Felyn's meaning and let the young ladies mistakenly think that Felyn liked her.

That wouldn't be good for Felyn.

She just wanted...

"Daiyi, then the person you told me you liked before you came in, was it big brother Felyn?!" Dorothy was about to lose her mind. She dropped the pretense in front of Daiyi and called out the title "big brother Felyn."

Because this scene triggered a bad memory for her.

The person Zervanie and Daiyi said they liked in front of her, was it actually Felyn?

Who would have thought she could be backstabbed twice?

At the title "big brother Felyn," Daiyi's brow furrowed slightly.

(Felyn plays around that much?)

"Dorothy, I didn't know you liked Felyn too..."

Daiyi was telling the truth with this sentence. She hadn't expected the princess beside her to have a connection with Felyn.

"Th-then tonight, don't tell me you're planning to take Felyn back to the Church of Truth's parish?!"

Dorothy now wanted to slap her own mouth.

Why on earth did she give Daiyi such an idea in the first place?!

(Taking big brother Felyn to the Church of Truth's parish? Wouldn't that mean he'd never come back, and I'd never be able to find him?)

(Only I can imprison big brother Felyn, only I can hide big brother Felyn, no one else can!)

"Miss Daiyi?! Are you really going to do that?" Adeline was also somewhat surprised to hear Dorothy's words.

Even Viloti couldn't help but stand up, subconsciously reaching for her pocket.

"Huh? I didn't..."

Daiyi hadn't even thought in that direction.

But Dorothy gave Daiyi no chance to explain. She rushed to hold the door, afraid that Daiyi would grab Felyn and stuff him into a car to take back to the church when she left.

"I wasn't thinking that..."

But the development of events had already exceeded Daiyi's expectations.

It was clear that Viloti and Adeline were unwilling to believe Daiyi's words.

Daiyi felt a little helpless. She slowly stood up and looked at the people in the room.

She met everyone's gaze and said, word for word.

"That's right. That's exactly what I was thinking."

(Anyway, I'm leaving tonight.)

(Might as well just go with the flow and let the storm rage even more fiercely.)

(Right?)
