Chapter 668 : Let Me Tie Your Tie, So You Can Go on a Date with Another Girl

Claes Residence, Maid Dormitory.

Hearing that Fiorella was going on a date, everyone gathered around her.

"Fiorella, no way? When did you start dating?"

"Aww, look at her, she's getting shy, covering her face. So cute!"

"He must be very handsome, right?"

Fiorella was very popular among the maids, and since everyone knew her family situation, they were all very concerned about her marriage prospects.

Only one person standing on the outskirts of the crowd had no smile on her face.

Ilara. She was Fiorella's neighbor and had started working here as a maid for the Claes family through Fiorella's introduction.

They were of similar age, and to others, they were a pair of good friends.

But only Ilara herself knew that she was sick of everyone only looking at Fiorella whenever they walked together.

---

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving Fiorella alone to change her clothes.

The other girls' words had made the tips of Fiorella's ears turn completely red. She pinched her earlobes, trying to cool them down.

Love, lover.

These were such distant words for Fiorella. No one would be willing to accept a family like hers, which was like a living hell, and she had never thought of finding a boyfriend.

If it weren't for Waldrick, she probably would never have had any interaction with men her entire life.

Waldrick. His wife was bedridden year-round, her body covered in pustules. Because of this, she would vent her anger on the beautiful maids around her, for example, by whipping, imprisoning, or kicking them.

Waldrick's business of buying and selling maids was also because of this; he would send new maids to his wife for her to vent her anger.

Fiorella adjusted the two hair clips on her head and took one last look at herself in the mirror.

I should be considered... pretty, right?

Will I embarrass Mr. Felyn by going out?

Lina said that Mr. Felyn has several beautiful young ladies around him. I can't compare to them at all.

Today, she was wearing her only dress, a light green one, with fluffy flower patches she had personally sewn onto the cuffs.

Fiorella's hands were very skilled, so much so that one couldn't tell these were patches added later.

"Fiorella, you're so lucky, aren't you? I heard he's even a noble?" Ilara patted Fiorella's shoulder and chuckled. "Where did you fish up a noble? You don't usually go to those kinds of places. Could it be you met him while running an errand at some restaurant?"

"Ilara, don't talk about him like that. Mr. Felyn is a very good person." Fiorella frowned and removed Ilara's hand. "He often buys things for Lina and gives her money, so he's not that kind of noble."

"Fiorella, you don't understand. Pretty girls like us are seen as prey by those nobles. I'm just worried about you, afraid you'll be tricked by a few pieces of candy." Ilara took Fiorella's arm again. "Men are all like that. They hope to trick us into bed with a few sweets and promises they can't keep. After they get tired of us, they don't care if we live or die."

"Mr. Felyn isn't that kind of person."

"Is that so? Then why do you have a dagger in your bag?" Ilara opened Fiorella's bag without her permission.

"I-I was just..."

After all, it was a date with a strange man. Even though Fiorella knew Felyn was very familiar with Lina, she still had to be vigilant.

She knew the dagger was useless against Felyn, and she wouldn't dare to use it on him, afraid he would retaliate against her family.

The dagger was for herself. If Felyn really tried to do something bad to her, she would end her own life.

"Fiorella, how about... I go with you? You'll be safer with me around." Ilara blinked. She had to see for herself what kind of person he was.

Ilara thought he must be a fake noble trying to seduce women, or perhaps an old noble.

It couldn't possibly be a young, handsome, and rich noble, right? He wouldn't possibly be interested in Fiorella.

"Ilara, it's my first date with him today. If you go..."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll just accompany you for a little while. I'll definitely leave once you two meet. If things go wrong, I can even help you escape. How about it?"

"Then I'll send Mr. Felyn a message first to ask if he's willing..."

"Listening to Mr. Felyn's words so soon? You really are his good little girl."

---

「No problem. In fact, the more people there are, the better we can achieve our goal. This way, your father should find out about our date very quickly.」

After replying to Fiorella's message, Felyn put down the communication art seal.

Adelina finished tying Felyn's tie, her hands resting on his shoulders.

"Felyn, I just find it very strange."

"Hmm?"

"I bought you this suit. The tie, watch, brooch, and shoes were all bought by me. Now you're going to wear them on a date with another girl, and I even have to personally tie your tie and see you off."

Adelina placed one hand on her hip and the other on her forehead.

"Miss Fiorella is very nice, so I'm not jealous. I just feel that scenes like this will happen again and again in the future." She wrapped her arms around Felyn's waist and whispered in his ear, "Just as long as you're not wearing my clothes to see Miss Zervanie, it's fine."

"Are you two still angry with each other?"

"Of course. I can't forget that arrogant look she had back then. Do you know? She pretended to be pitiful in front of me, saying she and you already had a marriage contract, and even asked me to help her."

Adelina patted Felyn's shoulder, looked him up and down, and after confirming everything was in order, nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of my boyfriend. I'll probably be spending the next few days at the Claude family mansion. Don't you dare bring any girls home."

They both left the house at the same time. Felyn stood at the door, watching Adelina get into the car and drive away.

Only Felyn was left on the street.

Adelina's rose scent still lingered on Felyn's fingertips and collar, a constant reminder that he had a lover.

And a divine chain that appeared not far across the street reminded Felyn that someone was watching him there.

The divine chain was very thin, one generated by an art seal.

To the naked eye, there was only a patch of grass and bushes; the end of the divine chain was empty.

It seemed someone was using a concealment art seal to monitor him.

Who could it be?

The young ladies were all trapped in the Royal Capital District, and Bernice would choose to use space divine art to observe him, not an art seal.

Soon, the other party provided the answer.

Sensing Felyn's gaze, she canceled the concealment art seal and appeared before him.

The expensive maid outfit suited her indifferent face well. Her gray eyes held not a trace of human color.

Her black stockings tightly wrapped around her long legs, and the white garter and black lace choker served as perfect embellishments.

She looked like a school beauty who had lost a game and was reluctantly forced to wear a maid outfit as punishment.

Taboo and contrast filled every corner of her body.

Anise.

The former young lady with short black hair stood not far from Felyn and gave him a bow.

"Master, I was just engaged in the activity of monitoring you. For offending you, I will atone with my death."
