Chapter 688 : Dorothy, Why Don't You... Come In and Sit for a While

"Are you still going to go find Eitani?"

In the kitchen, Seraphina stayed by Felyn's side, unwilling to leave for even a step. "That girl is like a child, her mind full of some hero-saves-the-beauty plan. She clearly already escaped, but then ran back to get captured. That's a bit too childish."

Felyn really wanted to say, Dragon girl, aren't you and Eitani the same? You were clearly the one who started the dispute, but in the end, because you were too embarrassed, you just gave up in silence.

Have you two really lived for hundreds of years? Why are you both like children when it comes to these things?

"I promised her, so I have to do it."

"Even if I try to stop you?" As Seraphina spoke, her body leaned closer to Felyn again.

"Seraphina, I..."

"Ding-dong!"

The sound of the doorbell startled them both. Their gazes involuntarily turned towards the door.

Who could it be this late?

Could it be the young ladies from the Royal Capital District?

"Mr. Felyn, sh-should I go open the door?" Fiorella seemed to have been frightened by the sudden doorbell as well. She hugged a pillow and peeked her head towards the door.

Felyn wiped his hands on his apron, untied it, and walked towards the door. "I'll go. I don't know who it is this late."

When his hand was on the doorknob, a sense of resistance began to rise within him.

His danger radar started to work, and Felyn hesitated.

Just then, a sweet, cloying voice came from behind the door.

"Brother Felyn... I know you're behind the door. I heard your footsteps."

The visitor was none other than the fifth princess of the empire, Her Highness Dorothy.

Felyn took a deep breath and opened the door. The scent of strawberries was the first thing to drift into Felyn's nostrils, making him feel like the air itself had turned sweet.

The first person he saw was not Dorothy, but her personal knight, Veronica, standing behind her.

Veronica gave Felyn a helpless look and forced a bitter smile.

After the Royal Capital District was unsealed, Dorothy immediately came to Seiwa. However, the travel procedures for a princess and prince were stricter and required the king's approval, so she was slower to arrive than Seraphina.

Intelligence had already told her that Felyn was currently in the Mist Street district, not at Adelina's house.

Thus, she headed straight here, not daring to delay for a moment.

"Brother Felyn, long time no see."

Dorothy was wearing a blue puffy short skirt today, with white stockings tucked into black leather boots, the laces tied in a pretty bow style.

She wore a small bear backpack slung over her shoulder, her hands behind her back. Her pinkish-purple long hair was curled, making her face look even smaller.

A pink bow tie was fastened at her chest, making her look like a gift waiting to be unwrapped.

She was as exquisite as a doll, the kind of cute that could be placed on a bedside table.

"Dorothy, I didn't expect to see you here. Has the Royal Capital District been unsealed?"

Dorothy snorted lightly and swayed her body. "Brother Felyn, you clearly already have Miss Seraphina in your house, so why are you still pretending not to know that the Royal Capital District has been unsealed?"

Felyn sighed.

A clingy Seraphina, and an equally clingy Dorothy.

Eitani, I feel... I don't think I can save you. I might not even survive tonight.

I thought saving you would involve fighting my way through enemies, and I even trained for so long for it, but in the end... in the end, it was completely useless!

"Brother Felyn, Dorothy has missed you a lot these days." Dorothy still stood in place, not hugging Felyn tightly as she usually did. "I only came this time to see Brother Felyn. I don't have any other bad intentions."

"Just passing by to see me?"

"Not passing by." Dorothy shook her head. "I came specifically to see Brother Felyn. Just being able to see Brother Felyn is enough. If Brother Felyn doesn't like me, then I'll leave now."

Dorothy's words surprised Felyn.

Is this still Dorothy?

This isn't right, is it?

Could this be some kind of scheme of hers?

"Brother Felyn!" Dorothy stomped her foot and snorted lightly. "Brother Felyn must be thinking that Dorothy has some kind of conspiracy, right? Dorothy is so sad that Brother Felyn thinks of me this way."

But her face still wore a smile. "However, I won't hate Brother Felyn for it. I love, love, love Brother Felyn very much. No matter what Brother Felyn thinks of me, or if he hits me or scolds me, I will still love you very, very much."

She finally mustered up her courage and took a step towards Felyn. "Brother Felyn, Dorothy will be very good. Can you look at me more in the future?"

Only sincerity remained on Dorothy's face, making even Felyn feel a little embarrassed.

Such a fiery love made it hard for him to open his eyes.

"Dorothy, why don't you... come in and sit for a while."

"Can I? Won't Miss Adelina be inside? Won't Dorothy be disturbing your world for two? It might be inconvenient at night, right?"

!!!

The alarm bells in Felyn's heart went off loudly.

What Dorothy meant by this was: Brother Felyn, I already know that you and Miss Adelina have become lovers. I even know that you two have done... that.

Felyn felt a little regretful, but Dorothy had already entered the room.

I fell for Dorothy's trick!

Inside the room, Fiorella rubbed her eyes, suspecting she had seen wrong.

This cute girl, she's Her Highness the Princess, right?!

The knight behind her wore a purple royal cape; she must be a royal knight.

Why would Her Highness the Princess come here? Why is she so close to Mr. Felyn...

Mr. Felyn... are you really just a commoner?

Fiorella quickly knelt on the ground with Lina, bowing to Dorothy.

"Get up quickly, I'm not an imperial princess right now." Dorothy helped Fiorella and Lina up. "You are Felyn's...?"

Fiorella didn't dare to look directly into Dorothy's eyes. "Your Highness, Mr. Felyn helped me..."

After she briefly explained the situation to Dorothy, Dorothy didn't make things difficult for her.

"Thank you for helping me take care of Brother Felyn these days. I was wondering why the garden in his yard was so beautiful. It must be your work."

"No, no, it was Mr. Felyn who took care of me."

Fiorella buried her head even lower.

Her Highness the Princess actually calls Mr. Felyn 'Brother Felyn'.

Doesn't that mean Mr. Felyn is... a prince?!

After seeing Seraphina in the kitchen, Dorothy got up and greeted her.

"It seems Miss Seraphina is also here tonight. Looks like Brother Felyn is quite popular."

Seraphina frowned, feeling a trace of Eitani's magical aura on the princess before her.

"I accidentally saw you hugging Brother Felyn in the kitchen just now. Do you like Brother Felyn?"

Dorothy threw a straight punch, with no beating around the bush. "What a pity. Brother Felyn isn't yours, and of course, he isn't mine either. He belongs to Miss Adelina. After all, Brother Felyn told me not to ask about the not-for-children matters between him and Miss Adelina."

"D-Dorothy?!"
