Chapter 598 : The True-to-Her-Name Evil Dragon Maiden
Felyn felt that this Albert was quite bold.
To just go ahead and touch her like that. The person in front of you is your ancestor!
Just now, Albert had asked about the relationship between Lianlora and Seraphinia. If the answer wasn't good, it could easily arouse Albert's suspicion.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Felyn had already prepared a perfectly flawless explanation in advance.
He would say that Lianlora was just the daughter of a relative of a friend of Felyn's in the capital district, and that Felyn and Seraphinia were just showing her around.
As for the relationship between Felyn and Seraphinia, that was also easy to explain: Felyn worked part-time at Seraphina Shop, got to know Seraphinia, and was currently discussing work with his boss while taking a walk.
When you're out and about, you create your own identity.
Seraphinia also remembered the information Felyn had instructed her on. As long as she answered truthfully, there would be no problem.
But...
But sorry, Felyn, I am the Evil Dragon Maiden, so I will not answer according to the script you provided.
"Your Highness Albert, she is my daughter."
After Seraphinia said this, she felt Lianlora give her a fierce pinch. Although she really wanted to strike back, she endured it.
As for Albert and Lecia's reactions, Seraphinia didn't care at all.
She didn't care if her relationship with Felyn was known to outsiders. She wasn't an idol, nor was she a sheltered young lady from a prestigious family. No one could control who she fell in love with.
She just wanted to use this opportunity to tie Felyn to herself.
"Felyn and Miss Seraphina have a child." As long as this rumor spread, all the girls around Felyn would lose.
By then, Felyn would belong completely to her.
The contract service would not be interrupted.
But, was keeping the contract service from being interrupted really the only reason she said that?
"So that's how it is. She does indeed look a lot like Miss Seraphina."
Although Albert couldn't see what Lianlora looked like at all, he had to offer this praise to alleviate the awkwardness.
This kind of generic praise template would never be wrong!
Albert's thinking wasn't flawed, but the premise of this generic template was that the daughter was her mother's biological child.
Lianlora glared at Albert, committing his face to memory.
How dare you say I look like a dragon? Which eye did you see that with?!
Albert clearly hadn't done anything impolite, yet he had been marked for revenge twice by his own ancestor.
Lianlora was just about to open her mouth to retort but was silenced by Seraphinia's hand covering her mouth.
Her small body struggled, but she was held firmly by the dragon maiden.
Lecia leaned close to Felyn and whispered, "Miss Seraphina actually has a child. Mr. Felyn, it couldn't have something to do with you, could it?"
"Absolutely no such possibility."
Felyn's smile was still as perfect as ever as he looked gently at Seraphinia and Lianlora.
But inside, a monstrous wave was already raging.
Seraphinia! What on earth are you trying to do!
Do you want to be Lianlora's mother that badly?!
This will definitely cause a misunderstanding!
This is a public place, can't you be a little more restrained? I'm still with you!
"What a pity," Lecia shook her head. "I was thinking of using this to threaten you. If you don't do something for me, I'll tell Her Highness Dorothy that you have a child, and I'll tell Father King as well."
"That is indeed a pity," Felyn took a step back, distancing himself from Lecia. "By the way, what are you two doing here?"
"Looking for Princess Lianlora's relic, of course. There's news that she'll appear around here tonight," Lecia rubbed her head, her pure white princess dress tracing an elegant line.
"The rumor is that Her Highness Lianlora's relic today is the hero's sword she once used, 'Saint Laeannos'. It's a relic that can shine brightly in the Hero's Festival, so many people will surely come to fight for it."
"This ancestor of ours is really tiring us out. Ever since she passed away, she still runs around with her relics."
"Ahem," Felyn quickly interrupted Lecia. He felt that Lianlora seemed a little unhappy.
Being bad-mouthed by a descendant to her face, no one would be happy.
"Well then, since Your Highnesses are busy, we won't disturb you," Felyn wanted to slip away.
"Your Highnesses, we'll take our leave first," Seraphinia directly picked up Lianlora and walked to Felyn's side. "Felyn and I will visit you both again when we have time."
While holding a child and standing with Felyn, she used phrases like "Felyn and I."
Felyn and I, visiting you.
Lecia and Albert both understood what Seraphinia was saying.
Are they already in the rhythm of an old married couple?
Seraphinia passed Lianlora into Felyn's arms. Such a heartwarming scene made her seem like the fruit of Felyn and Seraphinia's love.
Lianlora didn't react for a moment.
Wait! How did it turn into this!
Her Highness Princess Lianlora felt that she had been used, and by a dragon no less.
She struggled restlessly in Felyn's arms, her legs kicking wildly in the air.
Felyn held Lianlora, breathing very carefully.
First, this was Her Highness Lianlora herself, and he, a junior noble, was holding her like a child.
Second, if he put Lianlora down at this moment and said, "This is not my child!" then Seraphinia would most likely press her advantage and say something like, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Felyn is not quite ready to acknowledge this child yet, but I will work hard."
At that point, not only would he be a father out of nowhere, but he would also gain the infamous reputation of abandoning his wife and daughter.
What a ruthless move!
"No disturbance at all. I was just chatting with Mr. Felyn, and was about to ask if he could go buy something nearby with me. Miss Seraphina, may I leave with just Felyn for a little while?" Lecia said to Seraphinia with a smile.
She then leaned close to Felyn's ear and began her devil's whisper: "Mr. Felyn, you wouldn't want the fact that you have a child to be known by Dorothy, Adelina, Zervanie, Viloti, and Miss Daiyi, would you?"
"Why are there so many people? Do I really have that many weaknesses?"
---
In the shopping street Seraphina Shop.
Felyn and Lecia walked down the street. The princess wore a lace eye mask, concealing her face.
"Mr. Felyn, don't you think my sister and I look very much alike?"
"I don't think so. Your Highness's beauty is special, a unique existence."
"I-Is that so..."
Lecia brought Felyn to Seraphina's gift shop, preparing to buy a gift here.
"Don't you think I'm very good to you?" Lecia picked up a bracelet and measured it against Felyn's wrist.
Her fingers weren't cold, but instead carried a trace of warmth.
"Knowing about your relationship with Miss Seraphina, I still brought you here to buy things for her, to make your relationship even better. The better your relationship with Miss Seraphina, the less chance my sister has. As her older sister, I'm quite happy about that."
"Your Highness, your words make you sound a bit like a villain," Felyn couldn't figure out what was going on in the princesses' minds.
---
While Felyn and Lecia were picking out gifts, Seraphinia and Lianlora sat on a bench in the distance, waiting for them to return.
Lianlora was a little angry. She sat with her back to Seraphinia, her legs crossed.
Seraphinia, on the other hand, had no mind to care about Lianlora's mood. Felyn's departure made her feel a little uncomfortable.
All around them were couples walking hand in hand. This place was not friendly to single people.
Seraphinia saw her and Felyn's shadow in every couple.
She suddenly felt that this square was very empty, the stone bricks seeming to stretch all the way to the horizon.
And she was sitting alone in the center of the square, gradually being covered by the snow of loneliness.
Lianlora noticed the dragon maiden's downcast expression. She turned around and comforted Seraphinia.
"Felyn, he, doesn't want you anymore."
