Chapter 572 : Back to Moon Station

Seiva, Claude Residence.

Just as Felyn was heading to Seiva's Moon Station, the young lady of the Claude family, Adelina, was in her bedroom packing her luggage.

Her original plan was to report to the capital district a week later.

But last night's incident with Dorothy let her know that if she waited any longer, she would completely lose her chance.

So, Adelina stayed up all night to handle all her affairs in Seiva, preparing to set off for the capital immediately today.

She glanced at the small pink pig plushie on her bed, a gift from Felyn, and then hugged it tightly.

"Felyn... don't let someone else snatch you away."

Adelina lay on the bed, using the small pig to hide her reddened cheeks, her rose-tea colored long hair spreading out around her.

When this young lady arrives in the capital, she will bring a little shock to the people there.

As the "Light of Claude," she had never experienced a single failure to date.

Even her plan to keep Felyn for two months after confessing to him had succeeded.

Now that she was still by Felyn's side, her next step would no longer be as simple as just keeping him.

Half of Adelina's face was exposed, her grayish-blue eyes tinged with the watery vapor unique to a girl in love.

She was going to win Felyn over!

"W-Win over..." Adelina wanted to say the words in her heart to boost her confidence, but she couldn't get them out.

Her lips parted, reflecting an alluring luster in the sunlight. "I like Felyn..."

Wrong!

Wrong, wrong! She was supposed to say "win Felyn over," how did it turn into "I like Felyn"?!

"Ugh..."

Adelina hugged the little pig even tighter; it was about to suffocate.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking made Adelina let out a "ya!" in surprise.

She quickly scrambled up, straightened the bedsheets with her hands, and then briefly combed her hair in front of the mirror.

After opening the door, Adelina found it was her father, Claude.

"Father, is something the matter?"

Claude saw Adelina's packed luggage but didn't say much.

He patted Adelina's shoulder, everything left unsaid.

Adelina, your opponents are Her Highness Dorothy, Miss Daiyi, and Miss Viloti. Although Father knows the road ahead is difficult, you must not give up!

I so want to see that old geezer Silafiel kneel on the ground and beg me for mercy!

Claude imagined Silafiel saying at that time: "Claude, I beg you, make your daughter stop. I'll never show off in front of you again." A smile involuntarily appeared on Claude's lips.

"Father?" Adelina tilted her head, not understanding what her father was smiling about.

"Ahem, it's nothing, nothing. Just very gratified." Claude withdrew his hand and adjusted his glasses. "Can your travel plans for today be postponed just a little?"

"Mhm, I suppose so..."

"Miss Seraphina is coming over today to discuss a partnership with our family. And... and today, one of my men said he discovered a relic of Lianlora in the capital. He seems to have gone near Moon Station now. After he returns, I'd also like to ask him with you about the details of the relic."

The Lianlora Hero's Festival was very important. The winner could obtain a divine weapon, and the winner was also considered a candidate for the title of Hero.

Once victorious, the future would be limitless.

"I understand, Father." Adelina bowed to Claude, knowing her father was doing this for her own good.

Seiva, Moon Station.

Felyn felt like it had been a long time since he had last been here.

On one hand, the procedures for entering and leaving the capital were very troublesome, so Felyn rarely left. On the other hand, ever since Adelina's contract ended, he no longer needed to transfer here often.

"Lord Felyn, may I ask if you are satisfied with today's travel arrangements?"

Felyn was not in an ordinary carriage, but in a private compartment reserved for nobles.

He was no longer a commoner, but an imperially invested Third-Class Noble.

Even entering and exiting the station was handled by dedicated personnel.

The attending maid was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Felyn, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Her fingers would intentionally or unintentionally brush against Felyn's arm. When Felyn noticed, she would smile shyly and tuck her hair behind her ear.

A student of the capital's academy, a Third-Class invested noble, and good-looking on top of that—any one of these three points was enough to make the maid's heart flutter, let alone all three being concentrated in Felyn.

"Lord Felyn, are you waiting for someone? I can take you to the VIP lounge to rest."

"No need, it's not convenient."

Felyn declined the maid's kind offer and walked out of the station alone.

The station was crowded, but Felyn still spotted Zervanie from afar.

She had a small black leather bag slung over her shoulder and was wearing a gray long-sleeved dress.

With the rest of her face covered by a black mask, the advantage of her large eyes was further amplified.

Eyeshadow was drawn around her sky-blue eyes, and her eyelashes were curled upwards, like a pair of sapphires in an exquisite gift box.

Even in the crowd, she was extremely conspicuous.

The songstress was no ordinary person.

Zervanie hid behind a pillar and quietly took out a small item from her bag.

Felyn stood where he was, watching with curiosity, and found that she was only holding a piece of biscuit.

She held the biscuit, hid it behind her back, carefully tore open the packaging, and then looked around.

After confirming that no one could notice her, Zervanie skillfully pulled down her mask, stuffed the biscuit in her hand into her mouth in one go, and then quickly put the mask back on. Her cheeks began to move up and down rhythmically.

Miss Zervanie was hungry and was currently sneaking a snack.

Felyn walked over and patted her on the head.

"Wunyeh!"

Zervanie was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

"You scared me to death, Felyn!"

"Taking off your mask in a place like this, aren't you afraid of being surrounded by fans?"

"D-Did you just see that?" A blush appeared around Zervanie's exposed eyes. "I was just a little hungry..."

"Didn't you just have lunch?"

"I know!" Zervanie waved her fist in the air. "Don't you dare say I eat a lot!"

The fan meeting was not held inside the station, as it would cause traffic chaos.

Instead, it was in a plaza outside the station.

The surrounding sky-blue banners mixed with the red banners of the Lianlora Hero's Festival, creating an ocean of red and blue in Seiva.

"Zervanie, I've always wanted to ask." Felyn looked at the posters on the street and said to Zervanie, "Why does everyone treat you like Princess Lianlora?"

On the poster, Zervanie held a sword in her hand, with an evil dragon under her foot.

Her long, silver-white ponytail fluttered behind her, and the pure white armor looked very good on her.

"Felyn..." Seeing Felyn looking at her poster so intently, Zervanie felt a little embarrassed. "They're the ones who drew it. Maybe the fans think it's more interesting for a cute girl to be a princess or something..."

Felyn looked at the evil dragon being stepped on by Zervanie on the poster and suddenly thought, could the reason Seraphinia was unwilling to stay in the Empire during this time be that she didn't want to see the Lianlora Hero's Festival?

After all, the princess had slain one of her own kind...

"Felyn, you're not thinking about other girls while looking at my poster, are you?" Zervanie narrowed her eyes, studying Felyn's face.

"How could I? I was just captivated by your appearance, Zervanie." Felyn, having been called out, subconsciously retorted.

When he realized what he had said, he saw that Zervanie's index fingers were tapping against each other, her tender lower lip was pouting, and her eyes had become somewhat moist.

Oops, I seem to have said the wrong thing….

In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, the two arrived outside the plaza.

The area around Zervanie's fan meeting was cordoned off by Seiva's guards, and security was very tight.

She led Felyn through the staff-only passage, passing through the dense crowd.

There was still over an hour until the meet-and-greet, but the surroundings were already packed with fans.

They were rehearsing slogans in the venue, striving to give Zervanie a big surprise.

When the people backstage saw that Lady Zervanie had arrived, they all stood up to greet her.

"Lady Zervanie, and this is?" As they walked into the dressing room, the assistant standing at the door looked at Felyn beside Zervanie with some surprise.

"This is Felyn, he's my..." Zervanie looked at Felyn, not planning to hide her relationship with him.

Felyn cut in before Zervanie could speak: "I'm her newly hired assistant."

The assistant looked at Felyn with an expression of disbelief, forcing a stiff smile as he opened the door for the two of them.

Zervanie walked in first. When Felyn followed, he was stopped by the assistant.

"Mr. Felyn, I often hear Miss Zervanie mention your name."

The assistant whispered to Felyn, then took out his communication sigil. "This is my contact information. Would it be convenient to add me?"
