Chapter 706 : A Short Parting Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

After Fiorella confirmed with Felyn via message, the Morning Stars were taken away by the Silafiel family's guards.

Felyn's house was too small, so they could only be temporarily stored at the Silafiel estate.

Inside the room, Lina excitedly hugged the two young ladies.

Who doesn't like pretty older sisters?

Adelina squatted down and ruffled Lina's hair.

"Lina, has anyone been bullying you lately?"

"No!" Lina shook her head and threw herself into Adelina's arms, unwilling to let go.

"Lina, you'll trouble Lady Adelina." Fiorella came over to pull Lina away but couldn't move her at all.

Fiorella gave Adelina an embarrassed smile. Seeing that Adelina didn't mind, she stopped trying to manage Lina.

"Sister, sister, this is the Sister Adelina I always tell you about. She and Papa are very close lovers."

Hearing the word "lovers," Fiorella, who was clearing the dining table, froze for a moment. A strand of hair fell slowly by the side of her face.

She tucked the hair behind her ear and unconsciously repeated, "Lo-lovers?"

"Mhm! They even held hands!"

"Is that so..."

Fiorella didn't turn around. She poured the tea from the teapot into two cups, serving the guests on Felyn's behalf.

That young lady from the Claude family was so beautiful. Her clothes and jewelry were outshone by her temperament and appearance.

So, a young lady like that was Felyn's... lover...

She glanced down at her own slightly worn clothes, lowered her head, and resumed wiping the dining table, not saying another word.

"Lina." Viloti also squatted down beside Lina.

Her cold expression made Lina take two small steps back. "I remember you... the big sister with pink hair..."

"I am also Felyn's lover." Viloti rested her hands on her knees, her amber eyes showing no ripple of emotion. "Felyn and I are also very much in love, understand?"

"I-I understand... I'll remember, big sister." Lina hugged Adelina's neck tightly, burying her head in Adelina's neck.

Adelina patted her back while saying to Viloti, "Viloti, you've scared her."

Viloti tilted her head and tugged at her own cheek. "Am I scary?"

But Felyn clearly said I was cute like this...

How strange.

"Would you two like some tea?" Fiorella placed the teacups on the table, pulled out the chairs for them, and stood properly to one side.

She came from a maid background and understood the etiquette of serving others.

Adelina walked to her side and put an arm around her shoulder. "Fiorella, you don't have to be so formal. You took care of Felyn before, so you're our friend too."

"My lady, I'm just an ordinary maid. I can't say I took care of him." Fiorella was a little unused to a noble lady being so close to her, and her voice became much quieter. "And Mr. Felyn was also helping me... I hope what happened between him and me didn't cause any trouble for you two. If it did, I'm truly sorry."

Adelina stopped her from bowing to apologize. "It's fine, it's fine. You have no idea how many people around Felyn cause trouble for us. We don't mind your situation at all."

Compared to Dorothy, Seraphina, and the others, Fiorella's matter was nothing.

Fiorella cautiously looked up and asked, "Lady Adelina, are you and Lady Viloti both Felyn's... lovers?"

Viloti walked over and grunted in affirmation. "Although I really don't want to acknowledge her status."

"Viloti, this isn't for you to acknowledge or not. Felyn himself has already acknowledged it."

"I didn't acknowledge it."

"You and Felyn aren't married, so you can't make decisions for him." Adelina let go of Fiorella and came to stand before Viloti.

"You're not married to Felyn either, are you?"

"Oh? Viloti, do you want to compete with me? See who marries Felyn first?"

The previously harmonious scene suddenly erupted into a battlefield. The young ladies of two super-rich families began to argue right then and there. Fiorella felt that Felyn really had it... tough.

To ease the atmosphere and change the subject, Fiorella spoke up, "Lady Adelina, is Mr. Felyn just a commoner?"

"A commoner?" Adelina raised an eyebrow. "Is that what he told you?"

Both Adelina and Viloti instantly understood Felyn's thinking and thus didn't expose his lie right away.

"Yes... but I'm starting to not believe it." Fiorella forced a smile. "The girls around Mr. Felyn are all exceptionally beautiful young ladies. It's unlikely he's a commoner."

"Fiorella, besides the two of us, has anyone else stayed here?" Adelina sharply identified the key point.

"N-no..." Fiorella quickly tried to cover for Felyn.

"Fiorella." Viloti walked to Fiorella's side. "I want to hear."

"Hear what..."

"I want to hear who has stayed here."

Fiorella and Viloti were very close. It was the first time she had seen a girl with such flawless, fair skin.

A fair, tender cheek, rosy lips, and those amber eyes that, despite their coldness, felt inexplicably cute.

Coupled with the cyan-blue jacket and matching pleated skirt Viloti was wearing today, along with white lace ankle socks, she looked even more adorable.

It felt like no matter what she asked, Fiorella would definitely agree.

How could there be such a cute girl?

"It was just... Miss Eitani." Fiorella couldn't stand those eyes and failed to resist Viloti's request.

"Eitani?"

Viloti turned to look at Adelina. "It's the daughter of the Demon Lord."

When Fiorella heard this, her mind went blank. The d-d-d-d-daughter of the Demon Lord?!

Miss Eitani is the daughter of the Demon Lord?

For real?!

Why weren't these two young ladies surprised at all after hearing that?!

Mr. Felyn actually brought the daughter of the Demon Lord home. Who on earth is he?!

"No wonder Felyn hasn't been coming home lately." Adelina chuckled lightly, her hand resting on a dining chair. "So he was hiding a beauty in his golden house, living happily with Miss Eitani in this home."

"Lady Adelina, please don't misunderstand." Fiorella quickly explained. "There was absolutely nothing going on between them."

As if.

Eitani had said right in front of Fiorella that she considered Felyn a very important person.

But Fiorella didn't want Felyn and Adelina to fight, so she started to lie.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door. Who could it be?

At such a crucial moment, it was, of course, the perfect time for Felyn to appear.

When Felyn and Eitani were about to return, they were intercepted by Seraphina and Dorothy.

Eitani, having lost her patience, decided to go all out and have a big fight with them in the dungeon. So, she first used teleportation magic to send Felyn home to avoid him getting hurt in the crossfire.

He first found an inn to take a bath before returning home.

Because...

The door opened.

Under the moonlight, that face looked particularly lovely.

"Felyn."

Long pink hair, carried by the wind, was the first to reach Felyn's side. Amber eyes quivered slightly.

"Viloti!"

Felyn wrapped his arms around Viloti, lifting her small frame right off the ground.

Such a cute girl is my lover. This is really great.

Viloti let Felyn hold her, not mentioning that Adelina was also there.

"Felyn... missed you..."

Felyn couldn't help but peck her on the lips, and Viloti then lifted her head to return his kiss.

The two kept nuzzling the tips of their noses. Felyn would occasionally tease Viloti with his hand, causing the girl to press herself tightly into his embrace, her hands resting on his shoulders.

"Still shy? There's no one else here. Let me see if my girlfriend has lost any weight. You need to eat more, Viloti, or you won't get enough nutrients."

"Felyn, you really are concerned about Viloti, aren't you?"

Felyn's body stiffened.

Who's talking?
