If Felyn could catch him in the act of human trafficking, he would have evidence and could help Viloti clean house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn detested such behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he liked the cold yet submissive demeanor of maids, he would never actually lay a hand on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Felyn was still a bit conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*How did I end up back in my old line of work?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind chime at the door rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the crisp sound of the wind chime came Lina's laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Sister Fiorella, look, this is the Mr. Felyn I often tell you about. Isn't he handsome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn turned around, his hand resting on the back of the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tea-brown eyes, as if soaked in sunlight, carried a hint of warmth and a trace of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin was very fair, and her hands had a thin layer of calluses from labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pudding shapes on her old long dress were cute little animals, turning her skirt into a stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Felyn, I'm very sorry my sister has troubled you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella clasped her hands together against her body and bowed to Felyn in apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright. Lina has helped me a lot too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella slowly raised her head. A few strands of hair fell from her temples, carrying the unique, fresh charm of a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, my sister is very beautiful, right? A lot of people want to propose to her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lina!\" Fiorella pulled Lina back to her side and gently patted her back. \"Don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Felyn, and don't just shout things, you'll trouble Mr. Felyn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella was a standard beautiful girl. Her complexion wasn't healthy, carrying a pale white from malnutrition, but her slender cheeks still couldn't hide her beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Felyn, Lina just told me about that matter. I'm very sorry, please don't mind it.\" Fiorella pulled Lina behind her. \"As an apology, let me pay the bill for you this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn noticed that Fiorella's eyes were a bit swollen, and there were red marks on her neck from fingernails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, it's fine. Although I was indeed startled, Lina didn't find the wrong person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm willing to help Lina with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn could see the vigilance in Fiorella's eyes. Her toes were pointed towards the door, as if she were worried Felyn would make some excessive or frivolous request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beauty was a gift, but for a family in Fiorella's situation, beauty was also a poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would be targeted by many so-called \"important people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I still have to charge a fee,\" Felyn added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina left first. Felyn didn't want her to hear the next part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Felyn, I... I don't have much money.\" Fiorella sat where Adelina had just been, looking a bit constrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. Lina told me. Don't be nervous, I'm not some noble. My job is just to serve the young ladies. You came to the right person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella looked at Felyn in disbelief, feeling that his temperament didn't seem like someone in that line of work at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Mr. Felyn, even if you pretend to be my lover, my uncle won't let me go.\" Fiorella was not Lina; she understood the rules of the world better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn spoke, \"But if you let him know that you're dating a noble, he will let you go. After all, compared to thirty thousand crowns, his profit would be much greater if you married a real noble. I can lie and tell him I'll give him 5,000 crowns a month after we get married. He'll earn thirty thousand in half a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ray of hope flashed in Fiorella's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she was like a drowning person, wanting to grasp even a straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched her old long dress tightly. The disdainful glances from the people around her at her attire didn't bother her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn continued, \"But after all, we can't really get married, and I might have to leave here in a few months or even a few weeks, so I can only delay it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the struggle in Fiorella's eyes, saw the beautiful cloth bracelet on her hand slowly slipping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-two weeks is enough,\" she said softly. \"In two weeks, I'll be able to receive my bonus from a year ago. Then I can quit my job as a maid and move to another place with Lina and my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two weeks? That shouldn't be a problem. So, is it a deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm... if Mr. Felyn is willing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I'm willing. There's money to be made.\" Felyn grinned. \"I charge one thousand crowns per session. The time spent on practice and role-playing will all be charged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-one thousand?\" Fiorella didn't understand. She worked hard as a maid in someone else's house for a whole day to earn three thousand crowns, and this man in front of her wanted to earn one thousand crowns from her in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is already a friendship price. I used to charge one hundred thousand crowns a month. My acting skills are quite good. You can rest assured with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have that much money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you have a bonus?\" Felyn pretended to be impatient and tapped the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the bonus is... it's my and Lina's living expenses for several months. If I give it all to you, we won't be able to survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn nodded in understanding. \"Then you can owe me for now. Give me one hundred crowns as a deposit first. Do you have a communication art seal? Give me your contact information. I also need to know your address after you move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella quickly wrote down her contact information on a piece of paper and handed it to Felyn with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her handwriting was very neat, very similar to Daiyi's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been to school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, for three years...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your handwriting is so beautiful, you could sell calligraphy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella gave a faint smile, not in the mood to answer Felyn's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt she had just escaped from one demon's hands only to fall into another's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least, she could still see hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she fell into the hands of Waldrick Silafiel, she would never be able to get out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiorella bowed respectfully to Felyn, and after agreeing on the service time two days later, she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really hard to pretend to be a bad guy...\" Felyn rubbed his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he offered help for free, Fiorella would definitely not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he charged a fee, Fiorella would see it as a simple contractual transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn also didn't reveal his identity as a Second-Class Noble with two Imperial Badges of Courage. He was afraid it would create a barrier between him and Fiorella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be great if I could get information about the corrupt official of the Silafiel family from her or her father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn lay on the table, closed his eyes, and began to fantasize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that parasite learns that Fiorella has rejected his request, if he's arrogant and brainless enough, he might just rush to Fiorella's house with his men, start yelling at Felyn, and accidentally spill the beans about the Morning Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might get information, or he might get nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Forget it, I won't think about it. I'll just consider it a good deed.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn agreed to Lina's request not only because he wanted to help Viloti, but also for another reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a shadow of his former self in Fiorella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also having a sister, also being stuck in a quagmire, and...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also not giving up hope for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn received the first message from Fiorella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Mr. Felyn, I'll be counting on you for the night after tomorrow.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Mhm.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn only needed to get a simple understanding of her; he didn't need to role-play 24\u002F7 like with Daiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just needed to buy a few bottles of good wine before meeting Lina's uncle, get him drunk, and he wouldn't be able to tell anything apart. He might even force Felyn to stay the night with Fiorella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of thinking ability could a person who would sell his stepdaughter have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Are you done talking?」 It was a message from Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Done. I don't know if I'll get any information. I don't think there's much hope.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It's okay. You might get an unexpected reward after doing a good deed. What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Shouldn't you be saying 'Do you want to eat lunch first, or eat me first?' at a time like this?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「FELYN!!! PERVERT!!!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chatting with your girlfriend again? Smiling so happily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was startled by the voice that suddenly came from beside his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't noticed anyone approaching at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown eyes appeared not far from Felyn, and fiery red hair fell on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eitani's nose was very close to Felyn's, and a faint scent of vanilla wafted over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eitani? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the Royal Capital District?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Royal Capital District forbids anyone from entering or leaving.
