Chapter 608 : The Last Lunch (Probably)

"Felyn, Felyn."

Felyn felt a gentle voice calling him.

He dreamed he was in a world of ice and snow and had found a bonfire. He really wanted to stay by this bonfire for a lifetime.

"Felyn, it's noon. Time to get up and eat."

Felyn blinked, his vision gradually becoming clear.

"Adelina... is it already noon?"

Rose-tea colored long hair fell on Felyn's body. Her pleasant rose scent made Felyn feel as if he were in a garden.

Adelina was wearing the academy uniform with an apron over it, looking like an older sister who had come back from school to cook for him.

Her hand rested on her clasped knees, while she gently poked Felyn's face with the other.

"Mhm, I've already made lunch. Shall the four of us eat together?"

"Four people?" Felyn was a little dazed from sleep.

"Mhm, and the little girlfriend you brought back last night. I'm guessing," Adelina smiled at Felyn, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear and breaking off any physical contact with Felyn.

"Little girlfriend? Viloti?"

Felyn felt Adelina's gaze become even more terrifying, and he instantly became much more awake.

He turned over, wanting to stand up, but ended up kicking something soft under the sofa.

"Unyu~"

"Who's talking?!"

Felyn was a little flustered. When he saw Eitani appear beside him, he wondered if he was still dreaming.

*Did this girl sleepwalk?!*

"Felyn... is it morning?"

Eitani's slip dress slid down just right. She propped herself up with her hands, slowly sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat..."

"It's already made," Adelina turned to look at Eitani beside her, still smiling. "Miss Eitani, right? I've already made lunch for you."

"Oh, oh, thank you," the Demon King's daughter was very polite. "But who are you?"

But not very.

The corner of Adelina's mouth twitched, her smile somewhat distorted. "I'm Felyn's classmate, Adelina, probably. We've met before in Varir Village."

"Adelina, why did you say probably..." Felyn pursed his lips.

"After all, I don't know what my relationship with you is. Maybe in your heart, I'm just a stupid woman who can be casually discarded after being used."

So scary!

Adelina is so scary right now!

Felyn felt so cold. How could her fiery body temperature produce such icy words!

"Let's eat," Adelina gently patted Felyn's head, stood up, and walked to the dining table.

After she arrived at the dormitory, she saw Felyn and Eitani sleeping soundly. She didn't wake them up, but instead started making lunch in the dormitory.

Only after it was ready did she wake Felyn up.

Lunch began.

Eitani, who was present, was thick-skinned and paid no attention to Adelina's gaze. She wolfed down her food and didn't even consider that Adelina might have poisoned it.

Sylvain already felt that the atmosphere was very wrong. She ate the perfectly cooked steak in small bites, afraid that Adelina, who had cooked with resentment, might have added something to it.

The food on Felyn's plate was piled high like a mountain, and Adelina kept serving him more.

"Felyn, last night must have been very taxing on your body, right? You should eat more."

"It-It wasn't that taxing, hahaha," Felyn's mouth was almost full. "Your words always make people think crookedly. It's not like that at all, nothing happened between me and Eitani."

"Yeah, yeah," Eitani nodded, her mouth not stopping, just like Felyn's.

*Who made this! It's so delicious!*

"I am Felyn's master, so last night was just an act of care for my subordinate."

"M-Master?"

Adelina stopped her actions, finding this word a little incredible.

She leaned close to Felyn and whispered, "Felyn, do you like to call others master? I remember you liked being called master, didn't you?"

Adelina's eyes flickered. "Although your fetish is a bit strange, I-I'm willing to accompany you..."

"That's not it!"

For a moment, Felyn even imagined the scene Adelina had just described. It was simply too strange.

After some explanation, Adelina finally understood what was going on.

"It's normal for me to be Felyn's master, right?" Eitani couldn't help but show off again after hearing Felyn introduce her. "I'm very strong, I can protect Felyn. Felyn just needs to serve me as my subordinate."

"I don't think so," Adelina didn't look at Eitani, but focused on serving Felyn food.

*I thought you were Felyn's girlfriend.*

*So you're a contract client.*

Adelina's fork scraped against the plate. "I feel like you're more like a little kitten Felyn picked up."

"Wh-What?!" Eitani's cheeks puffed out. "Y-You actually called me a little kitten!"

"I'm sorry, great Miss Demon King's daughter," Adelina's face showed no sign of apology. She looked at Eitani with a smile.

After hearing Eitani say Felyn was her subordinate, Adelina couldn't stand it one bit.

"This morning when I pushed open the door and saw you curled up next to Felyn, I really thought so."

"You! I wasn't curled up at all!!"

If she were to swallow her anger just because the other party was the Demon King's daughter and watch her beloved Felyn be bullied, then she would not be worthy of the title "Light of Claude"!

Felyn looked at the resolve in Adelina's eyes and covered his face in despair.

*How did it turn into this!*

---

Capital District Checkpoint.

Adelina and Eitani both pulled on Felyn, standing conspicuously at the entrance of the checkpoint.

Many people applying to enter the capital district were queuing here, and they all turned their heads to look at this strange trio.

"Eitani, why are you following me?" Felyn looked to his left helplessly.

"Of course I'm here to pick up Hermie!"

Eitani looked to her right. "Miss Adelina, are you afraid that Felyn will fall in love with me, which is why you're so hostile towards me?"

For some reason, the fighting spirit in Eitani's eyes was ignited by Adelina.

"Miss Demon King's daughter, how can a human and a demon fall in love? I'm afraid Felyn will have other feelings for you."

"What feelings?" Eitani still didn't understand what Adelina was talking about.

*Of course, the feelings between a person and a pet!*

Felyn did not say this out loud.

When the guards saw Miss Adelina of the Claude family appear here, they quickly and tactfully ran over and stood in front of her.

"Miss Adelina, and Mr. Felyn, and... and this young lady."

The guard looked troubled and rubbed his hands.

"It's just lunchtime. Would the three of you do me the honor of having a simple meal?"

"No, we've already eaten."

"Then let's rest for a while. I'll go make tea for the three of you."

Adelina frowned. "No need. Just take us to find Miss Olivia. Weren't the procedures supposed to be completed this morning?"

The guards looked at each other, their heads lowered, all wanting someone else to explain.

"Did something happen?"

Adelina was a little worried that Olivia was being targeted. Felyn had entrusted his sister to her, so there couldn't be any mistakes.

"It's like this, Lady Adelina."

Seeing Adelina's face grow more and more solemn, a guard was pushed forward by the crowd to explain.

"Today, the royal family sent a new examiner, Lord Laikar, over. He... he..."

"What about him?!"

"He said that the previous examiner was incompetent and allowed many spies harmful to the empire to enter the capital district, so he wants to re-examine the list of applicants to enter the capital district," the guard said in a low voice. "Miss Olivia might not be able to enter the capital district today..."

"And..." the guard said intermittently, no longer daring to look at Adelina. "And the new examiner, under the pretext of inspection, is also not allowing Miss Olivia to return to Seiyva. She can only wait here until the examination is over..."

Eitani frowned upon hearing Felyn's words. She tugged on Felyn's sleeve. "Felyn, what does he mean by that?"

"If this examiner named Laikar deliberately obstructs, you probably won't be able to see Hermie for half a month."
