Chapter 410 : A Somewhat Carried-Away Zervanie

The incident of showering with a beautiful girl was over.

Zervanie, beside him, was already dressed and drying her wet hair with a towel.

She stood in front of the mirror and patted her face. Even without makeup, Zervanie's looks were still top-tier.

"Sigh, I've been getting pimples lately," Zervanie muttered, gently poking her own cheek with her finger.

The slight bump wasn't unsightly; instead, it gave that patch of Zervanie's skin an alluring pink hue.

"You stay up late every day, you should be content with a pimple this small."

Felyn appeared in the mirror, also leaning close to Zervanie's face to take a look.

"Felyn, it feels like... we're a bit like a couple."

Washing up at the sink like a couple, drawing on the steamy mirror like a couple.

The only thing missing was hugging like a couple and whispering secrets here.

"If it weren't for the handcuffs." Felyn shattered Zervanie's fantasy. The handcuffs on their wrists were also covered in a layer of steam.

That Dorothy, causing trouble for him even after she left.

Is it proper for a princess to carry handcuffs around?

But according to Veranoica, Dorothy was summoned by the King.

Thinking of Dorothy's desperate and angry expression when they parted...

He could only wish the King and the royal family good luck.

The current Dorothy was no longer the Dorothy who would let the royal family bully her.

Growing up did have its benefits.

Felyn had promised Dorothy he would do his best regarding the matter of the royal succession, but he felt he probably wouldn't be of much help.

It was hard to imagine that the King's choice of an heir could be influenced by a small-time commoner like him who sold his services.

If that were really the case, the Sivisius Empire would be finished!

After Zervanie finished everything, she turned to walk outside.

Felyn looked at the door in front of him, seeming to see Adelina's figure behind it.

His hand trembled in the air as he slowly placed it on the doorknob.

Why did he have a sense of danger?

"Zer-Zervanie, why don't we just spend the night in the bathroom..."

"Eh?"

Zervanie was about to say yes, but she saw Felyn staring intently at the door and followed his gaze to see Adelina's figure outside.

So Felyn was afraid of Adelina.

"Felyn, I'll protect you." Zervanie gently patted the back of Felyn's hand, comforting him.

"Zervanie, you won't say anything strange after we go out, right?" Felyn turned his head to look at Zervanie, a little worried.

"Of course not. Felyn, I'm not that kind of person."

I'm relieved to hear that from Miss Zervanie!

She should be a good girl now, right?

"Click."

The door slowly opened, and the warm air from the bathroom escaped through the crack.

Felyn saw Adelina's legs pressed together, not daring to look up into her eyes.

"Zervanie, you really won't say anything reckless?" he confirmed again in a low voice.

He was afraid Zervanie would add fuel to the fire like Daiyi.

He had to live with these young ladies tonight; if the conflict escalated now, he would be the one to suffer.

Zervanie winked at Felyn, signaling that everything was under control.

"Okay."

Felyn took a deep breath and stepped out, leading Zervanie.

Grayish-blue eyes appeared before him, clear and captivating.

"Fe...lyn."

Adelina smiled at him, as if she had no idea what had just happened.

"Adelina, wha-what is it?"

Adelina slowly raised her hand. When her fingertips touched Felyn's collar, it made his body tremble involuntarily.

"Did you catch a cold? Really, Miss Zervanie is a bit too willful, not even considering if you would get wet."

Adelina used a handkerchief to wipe Felyn's collar, trying to remove the water stains.

This unusually calm behavior left Felyn at a loss for a moment.

He had expected Adelina to be more agitated.

Adelina wasn't stupid; she knew she was at a disadvantage.

Felyn had just showered with Zervanie, and that girl had been smiling nonstop ever since.

Clashing head-on with a triumphant Zervanie at this moment would only put herself at a disadvantage.

Rather than making a scene in front of Felyn, it was better to show concern for him and do some damage control.

Felyn spoke up, "It's fine, there was a shower curtain between Miss Zervanie and me. The water was blocked by the curtain."

He was implying that he hadn't peeked at Zervanie, hoping to quell the chaos.

"That's good, that's good."

All was calm.

But Zervanie wasn't happy.

Adelina! Why aren't you attacking!

Hurry up and cry, say something like: My Felyn actually showered with Lady Zervanie, Felyn is going to be stolen away by Lady Zervanie, wuwuwu! Say it! Hurry up and say it!

You're not taking the initiative to attack me?!

Then watch me take the offensive!

"Adelina, be careful of the slippery floor when you go in later," Zervanie said, linking her arm with Felyn's right in front of Adelina.

"Hmm?" Adelina's gaze shifted to Zervanie, not understanding her meaning.

"I came out to get something while I was showering, and the water from my body accidentally wet the floor."

Came out to get something.

Wet the floor.

Doesn't that mean...?!

Doesn't that mean the damned Zervanie came out from behind that damned shower curtain?!

Adelina's grayish-blue eyes went blank for a moment, then were filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

The smile on her face didn't even have time to fall, remaining frozen in the air.

Felyn could feel Adelina's fingers gripping his collar tightly; she seemed to want to strangle someone.

"It's... it's okay, Miss Zervanie." Adelina's voice was still gentle.

But anyone could hear the... unusual emotions buried beneath that voice.

"It's all because of the handcuffs. I don't blame you, Miss Zervanie."

Adelina's hand finally released Felyn's collar. She turned and patted Miss Zervanie's shoulder.

Zervanie nodded, meeting Adelina's gaze with a hint of arrogance, "Mhm. Because of these handcuffs, Felyn and I even fell, but luckily Felyn caught me."

Doesn't that mean the completely naked Zervanie and Felyn actually had physical contact?!

The light in Adelina's eyes vanished, leaving only the stiff smile on her lips. "These handcuffs have certainly caused a lot of trouble for everyone. It seems we'll have to force them open now."

"Force them open?"

"Don't be afraid, Miss Zervanie. I will be very gentle, and this will all be over soon." After speaking, Adelina's hand gripped Zervanie's wrist tightly.

Women who smile are all terrifying.

Zervanie's eyes narrowed slightly. Even though she was the one who started the conflict, she was intimidated by the look and smile in Adelina Claude's eyes at this moment.

"A-Adelina, actually, Felyn and I didn't do anything..."

Zervanie was getting scared. She quickly tugged on Felyn's sleeve, asking him to help her out.

The current Adelina was too scary!

Felyn sighed softly. Who told you to provoke Adelina?

Don't be fooled by Adelina's gentle demeanor; she was the eldest daughter of the Claude family, a family that revered martial strength.

Felyn pretended not to know anything, even turning his head to the side and whistling.

Zervanie, don't blame me.

You promised me you wouldn't say anything reckless, but you still had to provoke Adelina.

Adelina's voice remained gentle, "Miss Zervanie, it seems a little late to be saying this now, don't you think?"

The smile at the corners of Adelina's eyes did not ease Zervanie's inner tension. Instead, it forced Zervanie to take two steps back, whimpers escaping her throat.

"Felyn, Felyn, save me... Ahhhhh!"
