Chapter 482 : No. 25 Laurel Road

~9 min read 1,765 words

Ilias Royal Academy, Residential Area.

The schools in the Royal Capital District were, strictly speaking, all aristocratic schools. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for the residential areas to have large communal rooms or the inhumanity of a six-person dorm.

In order not to keep Seraphina waiting for too long, Felyn painfully spent 500 crowns to take the Elven Dream Float with Eitani.

Eitani was well-behaved this time, not saying things like "elves are completely useless."

She was a little scared.

"Felyn, are you going to live here from now on?"

There were no tall buildings here, but a large area of villas.

The surrounding streets were like an exquisite chessboard, each one paved with moonstones that emitted a soft glow.

Due to the magic in the air, the stardust trees on both sides of the street stretched out their silvery-white branches.

The leaves swayed in the gentle breeze, scattering purple specks of light that flickered like breathing.

"What about me?" Eitani pointed to herself, looking forward to living here.

Living at school, waking up with friends every day, what a wonderful thing that would be!

"Didn't the royal family arrange a place for you to live?"

Eitani shook her head. "Lecia told me to live with you."

"Live with me? Besides, why don't you go back to the dungeon to sleep at night? What are you doing sleeping in the human world?"

Eitani patted Felyn's shoulder, feeling that he was being a bit of a killjoy. "It's your honor to live with this Demon Lord's daughter. Maybe you'll even secretly steal my under... under..."

The Demon Lord's daughter fell silent.

She blinked, her misty eyes under the sunlight turning elsewhere.

"Mr. Felyn, you have arrived at your destination, No. 25 Laurel Road."

The Elven Dream Float slowly descended. Felyn stood at the entrance, gazing at the residence he would be living in for the next few years.

It was a two-story villa.

Ivory-white stone walls intertwined with ebony beams. There was a small balcony on the second floor, entwined with some unknown blue vines.

Underfoot was a path paved with bluestone slabs. Moss that emitted a soft blue light grew in the cracks between the stones, which would surely look even more beautiful at night.

There was a lawn in the small courtyard, and one could get seeds for flowers and trees from the school's planting department to customize it.

Right now, the lawn was surrounded by Crystal-Glow Flowers.

In their normal state, Crystal-Glow Flowers appeared pale silver. But once they collected enough magic, their petals would become iridescent, like a seven-colored nebula in the night sky.

Although this was the Royal Capital District, filled with the magic of Siveshus, it would still take about twenty years for a Crystal-Glow Flower to collect enough magic to truly bloom.

Therefore, a fully bloomed Crystal-Glow Flower was extremely rare.

Eitani followed behind Felyn, looking around curiously.

"Felyn, how about you get a dog here in the future? I really like dogs."

"I have a cat. It's not suitable to have a dog."

"A cat?! You have a cat? Where, where?" Eitani's eyes instantly lit up.

"I haven't brought it over yet. I'll bring it over after I've settled in."

Felyn pushed open the heavy oak door, and the scent of wood rushed to greet him.

Sunlight slanted through the windows, falling on the floor covered with a wool carpet.

A fireplace, a sofa, a coffee table, and a private garden outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The first floor was the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, and the second floor was the bedrooms.

"This room is reserved for me, right?" Eitani pointed to one of the rooms on the second floor.

"Men and women are not allowed to live together in the same villa. If you dress up as a man, it might be possible..."

Felyn paused. Speaking of dressing up as a man, he thought of another person.

And at that very moment, the oak door that had just been closed was pushed open again.

"Hello, I'm Sylvain, the person moving in with you. For the coming days... eh?! Mr. Felyn? Miss Eitani?!"

Sylvain's gaze shifted to the two people on the second floor, and he realized that the terrifying Demon Lord's daughter was also in this villa.

"Sylvain, what are you doing here?"

Felyn sighed, thinking to himself, as expected.

No wonder Sylvain said Dorothy told him to monitor his housemate. It turned out Dorothy wanted Sylvain to monitor him.

So, Sylvain living with him was definitely an arrangement made by the royal family in secret.

He had been set up by the royal family!

"Mr. Felyn." Sylvain watched Felyn come downstairs, then walked to his side and explained with a silly grin, "Hehehe, Miss Seraphina was being really scary for some reason. I already tried my best to stall for time. Look... look, about what I said about Her Highness Dorothy just now, can you just forget about it?"

"You did very well, Sylvain." Felyn patted his shoulder and smiled kindly.

He had just arrived, and Sylvain came right after. This guy hadn't stalled Seraphina at all.

But Felyn still couldn't bear to blame this innocent young lady.

Because he still had a task to give him.

"Sylvain, you know this Miss Eitani, right?"

"Mhm, I know. Father and my sister told me to cooperate with her fully."

"I have something I have to go out for now. Can you help me take care of Miss Eitani?"

Sylvain stiffly turned his neck, glanced at the Demon Lord's daughter, then suddenly grabbed Felyn's hands, almost kneeling down to him.

"Mr. Felyn, Lord Felyn, I'm begging you, please don't make me do this kind of thing again."

Seraphina had already left him with psychological trauma just now. Now he had to take care of the terrifying Miss Demon Lord's Daughter. This would cause Sylvain's fragile little heart to collapse.

Under the pressure of the two beautiful girls with powerful auras, Sylvain couldn't even speak properly.

"It's fine, she'll be very quiet. You just need to send me a message to let me know when she goes out."

With the little yellow book in hand, why worry about Eitani causing trouble?

The latest comic book, "The Savage Princess Fell in Love with Me," was very suitable for Eitani to pass the time.

"Eitani, I'm going out to finish reporting for enrollment. You just wait for me at home."

"Then come back quickly." Eitani didn't even lift her head, eagerly sitting on the sofa to read.

"Right." Felyn's leg, which had stepped out, retracted again. "Eitani, can I borrow a little of your magic power?"

Inside the coffee shop.

This was the 20th time Seraphina had looked at the clock on the wall.

Felyn... could he have fainted in the toilet?

She took out her communication sigil, her finger hovering over Felyn's name, hesitating to press it.

Then, she put the sigil back on the table, crossed her arms over her chest, and closed her eyes to calm her heart.

Half a minute later.

Seraphina finally couldn't resist getting up and walking towards the restroom.

Just as her hand touched the restroom doorknob, the wind chime by the door rang.

Felyn pushed open the door, panting, with sweat streaming down his face.

"Where did you go, Felyn?"

Her vertical pupils swept over Felyn's body, and Seraphina frowned slightly.

Felyn's current state clearly indicated that he had left the coffee shop. He had lied to her.

"I need an explanation." Seraphina's tone was already a little off.

He was clearly on a date with her, he had just fed her, and now he had lied and run off somewhere else.

Humans really are all liars.

Felyn gasped for breath, wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and met Seraphina's cold gaze with a smile.

He walked in front of Seraphina with his hands behind his back and said, a little embarrassed, "You gave me a gift just now, so I wanted to give you something too."

Felyn took out a bouquet of Crystal-Glow Flowers from behind his back and presented it to Seraphina.

This fully bloomed Crystal-Glow Flower, each petal bursting with a seven-colored iridescence, looked like a work of art carved from magic.

The flower exuded a majestic beauty that made even Seraphina hold her breath.

"Where did you find this?"

Seraphina's vertical pupils contracted instantly. On her usually indifferent face, a rare trace of incredulous surprise appeared.

She took the flower from Felyn's hand and carefully brought it to her face to sniff it gently.

Even she had rarely seen a Crystal-Glow Flower bloom so magnificently. They shone with a seductive luster, like real crystals.

Dragons are very fond of crystals.

"In that garden we passed by. Because I knew you liked crystals, I thought I'd try my luck to see if I could find one. I didn't expect to be so lucky and finally found it in a corner."

This excuse was full of holes. If there really was such a magnificent Crystal-Glow Flower, it would have been picked by someone else long ago.

But at this moment, the young girl's mind was in chaos, unable to think that far.

Felyn... he was gone for so long, it turns out it was to find such a flower for me.

Seraphina gently stroked a petal, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

She had already imagined a scene in her mind: Felyn, under the hot sun, his clothes soaked with sweat, earnestly searching for a Crystal-Glow Flower for her, just to make her happy for a moment.

But what she didn't know was that this was just an ordinary Crystal-Glow Flower that Felyn had picked from the entrance of his house.

Felyn had Eitani casually use a bit of her magic, and it had transformed into such a fully bloomed Crystal-Glow Flower.

With the pure magic power of the Demon Lord's daughter, this flower was much more vibrant than a normal one, enough to surprise even Seraphina.

Seraphina knew she had just wronged Felyn, and had even blamed him for lying to her.

She took out her handkerchief, walked in front of Felyn, and gently pressed the handkerchief to his forehead, dabbing away the beads of sweat.

Her fingertips barely touched his skin, but the handkerchief carried a cool, crisp chill like ice and snow.

"Thank you, Felyn."

The distance between the two was very close at this moment, so close that Felyn could clearly see Seraphina's gentle gaze, and could feel Seraphina's soft breath.
