Chapter 681 : The Plan Begins

The young ladies of the Royal Capital District all learned the news in advance through their own connections.

It is worth mentioning that none of the young ladies told Felyn the news that the Royal Capital District was about to be unsealed.

Everyone wanted to see with their own eyes whether Felyn and Adelina were truly living a sweet and happy life.

The turmoil in the Royal Capital District had not yet spread to Seiwa.

Felyn, Eitani, and Fiorella sat at the dining table, discussing Eitani's plan.

The table was covered with a pure white cloth, and a vase in the center held a few unnamable wildflowers that Fiorella had picked from the flower bed, looking very beautiful.

"So, Miss Eitani is going to be kidnapped in my place, is that right?"

"Mmm, Fiorella, you don't have to worry about her. This girl is definitely much stronger than you imagine."

Fiorella hummed in acknowledgment, her hand under the tablecloth tightly gripping the chair.

"But, how will you take my place? Miss Eitani's and my figures... are a little different." She forced a smile and glanced at Eitani's chest.

"Don't worry." Eitani hadn't yet realized what Fiorella was talking about. "I have magic that can confuse vision. Although it doesn't work on church members, it's more than enough to fool ordinary people."

"Can it also confuse figures?" Felyn knew what Fiorella was talking about.

"Figure? Aren't Fiorella and I about the same height... Felyn, are you trying to say my chest is too big, so the disguise won't be successful?!"

"I didn't say that! Can you please not say these things in front of Fiorella?!"

*Eitani, you need to watch your image!*

Felyn turned to look at Fiorella. "What clothes do you usually wear most often?"

"A maid's uniform."

Hearing this answer, Eitani frowned. "You want me to wear that? That's the one thing I can't accept."

"Hmm? Why?" Felyn was a little surprised.

"When we go shopping, you always take a few extra glances when we pass by maid cafes. You obviously like maids a lot." Eitani mercilessly pointed out the result of her daily observations of Felyn.

"If I were to wear it, you would definitely firmly remember what I look like in a maid's uniform, and then in the dead of night, you'd fantasize about me... Mmph..."

Eitani's mouth was firmly covered by Felyn. "Eitani, have you thrown away those dirty books in your house or not? Why is your imagination so rich..."

Felyn looked up, wanting to see if Fiorella had been frightened by Eitani's expression.

The tips of Fiorella's ears were completely red. She kept fiddling with the hair behind her ear, and the hair clip on her head was once again dazzling.

*Maid, maid uniform, isn't that talking about... me?*

*Does Mr. Felyn really like seeing me in a maid's uniform?*

*It feels... a little strange.*

"Fiorella, don't overthink it. I'm not the kind of person Eitani is talking about."

Hearing Felyn call her, Fiorella, who was immersed in her fantasy, trembled and subconsciously said, "Lord Felyn, I-I'm not overthinking it."

"You even called me 'Lord Felyn,' you're definitely overthinking it!"

---

When the sun set, Felyn and the others had arrived near Fiorella's house.

Felyn had been here at night before, but hadn't been able to see the full picture then.

In the daytime, this place seemed even more dilapidated, a desolate feeling even permeating the air.

Anise went to attract the attention of the group monitoring Fiorella, creating time for Felyn and the others.

"I'll go with Fiorella to pack things first, and bring Lina over as well, to prevent them from being exposed. Anise recently reported that a group of people has been lying in ambush nearby for a long time. They might make a move tonight. Eitani, you can spend the night here."

"Understood."

When Felyn and Fiorella got out of the car, Eitani reached out and grabbed Felyn's wrist.

"What is it?"

"Felyn, if I get kidnapped, you won't just ignore me, will you?"

"How could I? Didn't we agree that I would come to rescue you?"

"What if Seraphina and the others suddenly appear and take you away? Wouldn't I be left with no one to save me?"

Felyn smiled, his smile melting into the sunset. "The Royal Capital District isn't unsealed right now. Even Seraphina can't get out."

Seraphina had suddenly hung up the art seal during the day, which Felyn found a bit strange.

However, he didn't pay it much mind. He planned to make up for the unfinished business from the daytime with Seraphina tonight when Eitani went to Fiorella's house.

"You're not allowed to not come save me. I'm about to fall into the hands of bad guys."

"I know, I know."

Felyn and Fiorella got out of the car and walked down the road towards her home.

Under the twilight, Fiorella's shadow carefully accompanied Felyn's shadow.

Fiorella opened her mouth several times, wanting to talk to Felyn, but gave up in the end.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

Fiorella quickly shook her head, her long flaxen hair fluttering chaotically behind her.

"Hiding in my house these few days will prevent you from working. You don't have to worry about that. Eitani will compensate you for all your losses. After all, she's the one who wants to put on this show."

"Mmm... will it cause trouble for Miss Eitani?"

"No, no, no, that girl loves excitement the most. If anything, it's causing trouble for you."

Felyn pushed open the rusty main gate of Fiorella's house and let Fiorella go inside to pack her things.

Hearing that she was going to Felyn's house, Lina ran around the yard excitedly without even putting on her shoes.

"Sister, have you already married Dad?" She pounced on Fiorella's back with her bare feet as Fiorella was packing.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lina. Mr. Felyn just invited us to stay for a few days. We can't cause trouble for Mr. Felyn, understand? When we get to Mr. Felyn's house, you have to be obedient, don't run around, and don't mess up Mr. Felyn's house."

"Mmm! I know."

Fiorella turned and hugged Lina. Through Lina's hair, she peeked at Felyn, who was standing at the door watching the sunset.

In the dim world, only this young man was plated with a layer of sunset.

This week of life was something Fiorella had never experienced before.

Originally, she was just an ordinary girl working as a maid in someone else's house. She would slowly become stooped from the daily toil and would be sold by her uncle for a few tens of thousands of crowns.

But now, she saw a turning point in her life. She could completely escape this place that had troubled her for nearly ten years.

It was all because of that young man.

*If... if I lived with Mr. Felyn, what would happen?*

*Mr. Felyn said he also has debts, but that's okay, we can pay them back together.*

*To save money, I can make him a bento every day.*

*I can go to the flower market to buy some cheap seeds to plant in the garden. When spring comes, the whole yard will be beautiful.*

*Then I'll work hard, do more work, and try to earn money to buy Mr. Felyn a nice set of clothes.*

Lina seemed to sense Fiorella's thoughts in her embrace. She also turned to look at Felyn.

Felyn waved at the two sisters, his smile warm in the sunset.

Fiorella smiled faintly, suddenly feeling that she was being ridiculous.

She had always faced the whole world alone, but now, Felyn's intrusion had let her experience the happiness of facing life side-by-side with someone else.

But Fiorella knew that all of this was just her fantasy; it was all fake.

Mr. Felyn didn't like her, and moreover, Mr. Felyn didn't seem to be just a commoner. He was hiding something from her.

Fiorella could hardly say she had already fallen in love with Felyn. After all, they had only spent a week together. The time was too short, and they had experienced too little.

But the part of her heart that was originally blank and missing had been awakened after meeting Felyn.

She also longed for love, and longed to live a life full of hope with someone else.

"Mr. Felyn, we've finished packing."

"Dad, can Lina sleep next to you and sister tonight?" Lina walked to Felyn's side and hugged his waist.

"Lina! I'm not sleeping with Mr. Felyn!" The tips of Fiorella's ears were completely red. She patted Lina's back, causing Lina to giggle.

Felyn held Lina's hand, and just as he was about to leave the courtyard, a girl's voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Fiorella? Where... are you guys going?"

Felyn still remembered this person. She was Fiorella's best friend, Ilara.

*This is bad, Ilara found out.*

If she knew that Fiorella was going to live somewhere else, then Eitani's plan to impersonate Fiorella might not succeed.

Felyn saw that Anise had already appeared silently behind Ilara, her hand already on the hilt of her sword.

With just a look from Felyn, Anise would draw her sword and make Ilara keep the secret forever.
