Chapter 440 : I-I Can Never Repay Dorothy's Kindness! \o/

It was raining.

Felyn stood in front of the giant floor-to-ceiling window, watching the raindrops converge into swimming dragons on the windowpane.

The lights of humanity resisted the endless darkness, and the interweaving of light and darkness formed a painting.

Standing in the banquet hall, one could overlook the entire Royal Capital district, with the view extending to the distant magic crystal city wall.

Beyond that city wall was Seiva.

Felyn took a sip of champagne and looked at his reflection in the window.

Behind him, Dorothy was chatting with the nobles who had come to greet her. From the looks of it, they were having a very pleasant conversation.

Dorothy was wearing a pinkish-purple puffy dress today, which matched her hair color very well.

Her eyes were currently curved into crescents like the moon in the sky, and her dimples made her smile even more infectious.

Felyn turned around and leaned against the railing, watching Dorothy, who was exuding the charm of a princess, converse with the nobles and ministers. He suddenly wondered what Dorothy would have become without him.

If he had ended the contract with her properly, what would she have become?

Would she have let go of him, stopped letting him delay her future, and then become king?

Would she have become the first queen of the Sivisius Empire?

Although the process would be difficult, Felyn felt that Dorothy would definitely succeed.

The hatred in her heart was stronger than anyone else's. Her childhood experiences would make her spend her whole life making up for it.

But now, Dorothy's goal seemed to have deviated a little.

She had given too much for him.

That time at the hotel, if he hadn't transferred the magical power to Dorothy in time, her frantic behavior would have really affected her life.

Without a doubt, such behavior would greatly affect her future.

Was it really worth it for her to do this?

Felyn's eyes began to dim.

Dorothy was still his client.

Did she clearly know that everything he had done for her before was because of the contract?

Did she clearly know that the love or obsession she had for him was because of the contract?

Dorothy could choose not to consider these things, but Felyn had to.

But... how could he bring it up with Dorothy? How could he remind her that she didn't have to do so much for him?

He wouldn't just leave Dorothy with the excuse of the contract ending; after all, he hadn't finished what he had promised her.

But every time he helped her, she would compensate him.

If this continued, he would never be able to repay Dorothy's kindness!

Thinking about how to bring up the matter of the past contract with Dorothy, Felyn thought of the little pink-haired girl.

This situation was a bit similar to Viloti's.

The difference was that Dorothy had ignored the existence of the contract.

And Viloti didn't even know the contract existed.

That young lady who would always silently follow him, that young lady who was very suitable for wearing white stockings or sandals, he still had an important matter that he hadn't told her.

He hadn't told her about the existence of the contract.

"Brother Felyn... are you thinking about another woman?"

Purple eyes appeared in front of him, and pink lips pouted slightly, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Dorothy had already finished greeting the others and had returned to Felyn's side at the first opportunity.

"Are you done with all of them?" Felyn, who had come back to his senses, looked around and saw that there were not many people left. He quickly changed the subject, "I didn't expect Her Highness Dorothy to be so popular. So many people came to see you."

Dorothy pulled Felyn to a deserted corner, stood on her tiptoes, and brought their gazes to the same level.

"Brother Felyn, no matter how popular I am, I'm not as popular as Miss Zervanie, and even less popular than the maid in the maid cafe that Brother Felyn went to."

Felyn scratched his face, feeling his cheeks become a little hot.

I just made a mistake that all men make.

And I really didn't do anything, after all, Eitani was still there.

"By the way, Brother Felyn." Dorothy took two steps back, lifted her skirt with both hands, and showed it to Felyn. "Since Brother Felyn finished the exam today, why don't I wear a maid outfit to reward Brother Felyn? Tonight, should we go to your room or my room?"

Felyn waved his hand, just about to refuse Dorothy's request, but his hand froze in mid-air, casting a small shadow on Dorothy's small face.

"Dorothy, why don't we do these things during the contract service time?"

"Eh~?" Dorothy dragged out her voice and said with some dissatisfaction, "What does it matter, Brother Felyn? You're in the Royal Capital district now, and Dorothy can see you at any time. The contract doesn't matter anymore, right?"

"But Dorothy..."

Felyn's words were interrupted by the vibration of the communication sigil in Dorothy's arms.

Dorothy looked at the sigil, then at the serious-looking Felyn, and bit her lip.

"It's a message from Father." She opened the sigil and looked at it, then said softly to Felyn, "Brother Felyn, I have to go over there now."

She took a step forward, walked to Felyn's side, and sniffed his scent. "Brother Felyn, while I'm gone, you're not allowed to talk to other women, okay? I can smell it all."

"Dorothy, I've always wanted to ask, how did you even smell the size of a girl's chest last time?"

Dorothy crossed her arms and puffed out her chest with some pride, "Brother Felyn, that's Dorothy's secret~"

As Dorothy walked away, the long, pinkish-purple hair that was hanging on Felyn's arm floated in the air.

She took two steps forward, turned her head slightly, and glanced at Felyn, who was standing there waving at her.

Dorothy sighed, a bad premonition in her heart.

It wasn't until the long, pinkish-purple hair disappeared from sight that Felyn breathed a sigh of relief.

Now was not the right time, and it wasn't so urgent that he had to bring it up at the banquet.

His thoughts were in a mess. Felyn scratched his head and decided not to think about it for now.

Let's have a good meal first!

This was the royal palace, after all. There was a lot of good food, and it was all free.

Felyn left the corner and appeared in the center of the hall.

"Um... hello."

Just as Felyn was about to start feasting, he was suddenly called out by a girl from behind.

"We met today, during the exam." The girl seemed a little nervous. She had one hand on her chest and the other clutching her skirt.

Her brown curly hair swayed with her movements, drawing the shyness of a young girl in the air.

"I just wanted to get to know you. I think you... I think you have a very outstanding temperament, so... so I wanted to ask if you have time now? Can we dine together?"

The girl finally managed to say this under the encouraging gazes of her female companions behind her, and her cheeks began to turn red.

She lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look into Felyn's eyes.

The girl in front of him was very beautiful, and from the style of her clothes and her speech, it was clear that she was also a noble young lady.

Just as Felyn was about to refuse, his arm was suddenly held tightly by someone.

The scent of cedar entered his nostrils first, followed by those captivating dark green eyes.

A cool voice sounded from beside his ear, "I'm sorry, miss, but can I borrow my boyfriend for a moment? You can continue chatting later."
