Chapter 636 : An Unexpected Princess and an Unexpected Request

Valeria explained herself for a couple of sentences, then tactfully left.

To say more at this time would be to make more mistakes. She could only find another time to properly mend her relationship with Felyn.

The place returned to quiet, leaving only Felyn and Adelina.

"Still shy?" Felyn looked at Adelina curled up beside him, her head resting on her legs.

"N-No."

"Then why don't you dare to look at me?"

Adelina turned her head, revealing half of her side profile.

The face under her rose-colored hair bloomed with a heart-stopping beauty.

On her tender, rosy cheeks was a pair of moist, grayish-blue eyes. She lightly bit her lower lip, her feelings already conveyed to Felyn through her expression.

Then, she turned her head back again, her thoughts in utter chaos.

Did Felyn's words just now mean he acknowledges my status?

Ahhhhh!

I really want to ask him clearly!

Felyn is so annoying! He won't say clearly whether he likes me or not! He's making me guess again!

Adelina's heart was beating very fast. She was already somewhat unable to think.

Seeing Adelina like this, Felyn couldn't help but want to tease her.

The usually composed and perfect student council president was actually a pure-hearted girl who would turn completely red with just a single sentence.

It was too interesting.

Felyn poked her ear, causing Adelina to let out a soft cry.

"Felyn... y-you're bullying me..."

"No, no, there was a bug on your ear."

"How could there be? You clearly saw me like this and thought it was fun to tease me." Adelina turned her head to look at Felyn again, her lips pouting slightly. "Do you play like this with Viloti too?"

"Ah, that, that..." Felyn scratched his head, chuckling foolishly.

He didn't think Adelina was tolerant enough for him to talk about Viloti to her face.

Don't be fooled by Adelina's gentleness; when she got angry, her smile was also terrifying.

Adelina said she was going to the restroom to touch up her makeup, so Felyn returned to the venue alone.

The conversation he just had with Adelina was purely an accident.

But it was also what Felyn had been thinking.

It was just that this occasion was indeed not suitable for discussing this matter. They could talk about it tomorrow.

The appearance of Valeria and Flos was not a good sign for Felyn. He planned to leave after Viloti and the others returned.

"It's a good thing Dorothy didn't come, otherwise there really would have been an explosion," Felyn said to himself, walking to the dining table at the venue to pick up a piece of cake.

Just as his hand was on the cake, a girl's hand reached for the same piece of cake at the same time.

Their hands touched.

What a cliché story development,Felyn sighed in his heart, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Isn't this Felyn? I didn't expect you to come too."

The girl's hand retracted and rested on her waist.

Her ice-blue short hair swayed lively, making her face look like the moon in a lake.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence."

"Why so distant? Shouldn't you call me big sister?" The third princess of the empire, Lecia, stood in front of Felyn, joking with him.

"I wouldn't dare. Wouldn't that make me a prince?"

"Aren't there rumors that you're father's illegitimate son? Are you really my biological brother or not?"

"How could that be? If I were an illegitimate son, I wouldn't have to work to pay off debts. Have you ever seen such a miserable prince?"

Felyn's eyes searched the nearby crowd. Lecia's appearance meant...

Sure enough, Dorothy stood in the crowd. Today, she was wearing a blue, puffy princess dress, Seraphina's pure white crown on her head, and white lace gloves on her hands.

She was a pure, kind, and lovely princess. That was probably what everyone around her thought of her.

Felyn quickly took two steps back, a little scared.

"You're afraid of my little sister?" Lecia caught this information. She grabbed Felyn's hand, not letting him leave.

"Your Highness, I suddenly need to go to the washroom..."

Felyn was truly afraid of Dorothy.

Last time, Dorothy had locked him up directly, forcing Felyn to swim in Dorothy's suffocating river of love for several hours.

"If I hold your hand now, will my good little sister stop liking you? She'll think you're a scumbag who seduced her older sister," Lecia whispered, pressing herself tightly against Felyn's side and leaning close to his ear.

"No, Your Highness, you don't understand your sister yet. She wouldn't do that."

She would probably take you out first, and then imprison me.

Dorothy was chatting with the crowd. She glanced unintentionally in Felyn's direction, and then her whole body froze.

After seeing Felyn and Lecia pressed together, she still maintained a smile on her face.

But Felyn could see the purple in her eyes deepen significantly.

This is bad!

Felyn tried to shake off Lecia's grip, but Lecia held onto him with a mischievous smile, not letting go.

It wasn't until Dorothy nodded to the people around her, indicating she was leaving, that Lecia slowly let go.

The princess lifted the hem of her skirt and, followed by Veronica, came to Felyn's side.

"Mr. Felyn, has your relationship with my sister become so good now?" Dorothy had a smile on her face that sent a chill down Felyn's spine.

"Good little sister, no need to be so nervous. I'll return Felyn to you." Lecia pushed Felyn towards Dorothy, winked at him, and then left with a flourish.

Leaving only Felyn and a gently smiling Dorothy.

"Big Brother Felyn..."

"Do-Dorothy..."

Dorothy placed her hands in front of her, still maintaining her princess-like demeanor.

Her hands were clenched tightly together, suppressing the urge to pounce into Felyn's arms.

"I received the art seal detection device you gave me," Dorothy still couldn't help but take a step towards Felyn, her nose gently sniffing the scent on him.

"Art seal detection device? Your Highness, you must have remembered wrong."

After receiving the detection art seal device from Lecia, Felyn had given it to Sylvain, hoping she would pass it on to Dorothy.

Felyn had also instructed Sylvain not to say it was a gift from him.

Now it seemed that girl had told Dorothy everything.

"Big Brother Felyn is always thinking of me. Dorothy is very happy."

Dorothy swayed her body slightly, still unable to resist gently touching Felyn.

"Dorothy, actually I just..."

"Shh..." Dorothy placed a finger on her lips, signaling Felyn not to continue. "Big Brother Felyn, I didn't come to talk about this today. I have something serious to discuss with you."

"Serious business?"

"Mhm. Big Brother Felyn, can you not participate in the Hero's Festival?" Dorothy's smile faded. She looked up, waiting for Felyn's answer.

"Ah? Why?"

"Although Dorothy is very happy that Big Brother Felyn is participating in the Hero's Festival for my sake, the thought that Big Brother Felyn might get hurt in battle makes me anxious every day."

What Dorothy said was not false. After learning that Felyn would also participate in the Hero's Festival, she hadn't slept well.

The relic competition of the Hero's Festival was no child's play; people could really die.

If Felyn had an accident in battle and was accidentally injured...

Dorothy had been having nightmares during this period, waking up drenched in sweat every time.

"Big Brother Felyn, I know it's because Dorothy isn't working hard enough, isn't outstanding enough, that you need to participate in the Hero's Festival to help me fight for the throne. It's Dorothy's fault for making Big Brother Felyn take risks, but please rest assured, Big Brother Felyn, I will definitely get the Hero's Sword."

"When I become the empress, Big Brother Felyn will no longer have to run around for me."

"I don't want Big Brother Felyn to get hurt in any way, so Big Brother Felyn, please don't do anything. Please just lie in bed and be a useless big brother. Dorothy will do everything for you."

Felyn fell silent.

"Big Brother Felyn, even if you accomplish nothing in the future, even if you become very, very fat, Dorothy will still love you. No matter what you become, whether you have achievements or not, Dorothy will love you, love you forever and ever."

Through Dorothy's eyes, Felyn saw what was in her mind at this moment.

She was thinking of herself sitting on a bed, holding him in her arms, dotingly rubbing his head.

That's right, dotingly.

Felyn looked at this loli princess who was a whole head shorter than him and took a sharp breath.
