Chapter 710 : So I Was Just a Part of the Play.

Another beautiful morning.

By the way, because Felyn couldn't answer last night's deadly question, he ended up sleeping on the sofa for the night.

The sounds of breakfast being made were already coming from the kitchen. The crisp clatter of cutlery woke Felyn from his sleep.

He groggily looked over and saw Fiorella making breakfast in the kitchen.

Her movements were light, trying her best not to wake Felyn who was sleeping in the living room.

Felyn's two girlfriends were resting in the room upstairs, so right now, only Felyn and Fiorella were in the living room.

Lina was playing with dirt in the courtyard outside.

Felyn turned on his side, his gaze drawn to Fiorella's movements.

Her hands were skillful; even a rough task like preparing ingredients was done beautifully.

Every part of her body moved in elegant and fluid coordination with her hands, making her seem like a star on a stage.

Felyn rubbed his head and took out his communication spell-inscribed device, wanting to check his messages.

Last night, Eitani and the others hadn't sent him any messages late into the night, which made Felyn a little worried.

First was Eitani's message.

"Felyn, Felyn, last night was so much fun. I fought with Seraphina all night. That annoying dragon girl is so arrogant, watch me teach her a good lesson."

"It's just that our date for today is ruined... I accidentally destroyed all of the 53rd floor and was urgently called back by my father for a scolding, hehe."

All of it... destroyed?

What kind of colossal monsters were these two? They could destroy an entire floor with a single move?

Although he found it incredible, Felyn still had to show concern for his client.

"Eitani, are you hurt? I was worried you might get injured while fighting with Seraphina."

The message didn't get an immediate reply. Eitani was probably fast asleep right now.

Dorothy and Olivia had also sent him messages. Both were exhausted from staying up all night to watch the fight and had checked into a high-end hotel nearby.

Although they really wanted to come over to Felyn's house for the night, they were dirty and mentally drained from lack of sleep, so they unanimously decided not to go to Felyn's house for now and would see him after they had recovered to their best state.

"Mr. Felyn, are you awake?"

Fiorella stood at the kitchen entrance, her hands nervously wiping her apron. "Was I too loud just now and woke you up?"

"No, no."

"I'm sorry, I've troubled you again." She never dared to get too close to Felyn, and even seemed afraid to look at him.

But only she knew that when she came down to wash up in the morning, she had hidden at the kitchen entrance, staring at Felyn's side profile in a daze, and had accidentally watched for over ten minutes.

By the time she came back to her senses, the tips of her ears were already bright red, and her whole body felt a little weak.

It was the first time she had seen a boy sleeping.

"Mr. Felyn, what would you like for lunch today? Do your... two girlfriends have any preferences?" When Fiorella said the word "girlfriends," her voice trembled unconsciously.

"Viloti and I are going to her house for lunch today, and Adelina is going back to the Claude estate. You don't have to worry about us for lunch."

Fiorella tucked her hair behind her ear. After hearing this, she slowly turned around, her hand gripping the knife handle, not moving for a long time.

She bit her lip, suppressing her inner emotions.

"Understood, Mr. Felyn. Have a safe trip."

Felyn and Viloti sat in the car, driving into the Silafiel family's manor.

Silafiel always felt that being too high-profile would attract jealousy and resentment, so the surrounding roads were paved with stone slabs instead of magic crystal pavement.

However, the low-key style of the empire's wealthiest man was still extremely luxurious to ordinary people.

Pure white statues carved by masters were situated in the gardens, turning the entire manor into an artistic painting.

"Viloti, can you draw?"

Hearing Felyn's words, Viloti quietly shrank back, hiding by the window.

Seeing Viloti's reaction, Felyn couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Felyn, you're laughing at me."

"No, no, I just think it's finally something you can't do. It seems you're not a perfect goddess after all."

After getting out of the car, Viloti took Felyn to the door of the Silafiel family's study, while she went back to her bedroom to bathe and change.

The tall, gold-inlaid study door made Felyn feel incredibly small. Anyone who walked up to this grand entrance would imagine what magnificent sight lay within.

Pushing open the door, the giant painting on the ceiling instantly silenced the air.

This place was like the Siviesus Imperial Library. The floor reflected the bookshelves on both sides. Sitting in the very center was the head of the Silafiel family, Viloti's father, Lord Silafiel.

"Felyn, you're here."

"Yes, Lord Silafiel."

Silafiel tidied up the documents on his desk and leaned back in his chair.

The maid who came to pour tea walked almost without a sound, her movements as perfect as a textbook example.

"Viloti went straight to find you last night, didn't she?" Seeing Felyn's hesitant look, Silafiel couldn't help but pat his shoulder. "Don't be so formal. We'll all be family in the future."

The Felyn of today was no longer the poor boy he once was.

A second-class noble of the Empire, with two Medals of Courage. The story of Felyn saving the royal capital district had already begun to spread throughout the Empire. It wouldn't be long before he became a well-known figure.

Furthermore, Felyn had done Silafiel a huge favor this time, helping him discover that someone in the family was colluding with the royal family.

This was a critical period in the competition for the throne's succession. If this matter were exposed, the entire Silafiel family would face a devastating disaster.

Although it wouldn't lead to the extermination of the clan, the Silafiel family would certainly not be as glorious as it was now.

"Since you're here, I won't waste any more time." He turned to the maid. "Bring Waldrick up."

While waiting, Silafiel chatted with Felyn about family matters, deliberately avoiding any mention of Adelina.

"My lord, Waldrick is outside the door."

It had only been one night, but Felyn felt that Waldrick's hair seemed to have turned much whiter.

He was no longer the high-spirited man from last night in the dungeon, but had become extremely old.

Waldrick's hands were tied, and he was forced to the ground by the guards.

Silafiel didn't look at Waldrick, but instead explained to Felyn, "The study connects directly to the prison. I originally wanted to judge him in the prison, but I didn't want Viloti to go to the dungeon, so I changed it to here."

"Lord Silafiel! Brother!" Waldrick interrupted Silafiel. "Don't listen to this boy! Don't be deceived by him!"

"You're saying... he deceived me?"

"I admit that I secretly searched for Morning Stars, but it was for the future of our family! If it weren't for him, my plan would have succeeded. I originally planned to hoard the Morning Stars first, and then hand them over to Viloti after the royal capital district was unsealed. She is from the royal capital district herself, so it's only natural for me, her uncle, to search for Morning Stars for her. And once the royal capital district is unsealed, whether to sell them or not will be up to you, brother. I did it all for Viloti's good!"

Waldrick's thinking was also very simple.

The matter was already exposed. Whatever he said was useless, so he might as well think about how to save his own life first.

The fact that Silafiel hadn't handed him over to the Empire, nor had he executed him immediately, indicated that there was still room for maneuver.

As long as Waldrick adamantly denied colluding with the royal family, his crime would not be punishable by death.

By getting rid of Felyn, this outsider, and ensuring there were no eyewitnesses present, this matter would not be exposed and would not have a substantial impact on the Silafiel family.

In that case, the most Silafiel would do is exile him to a remote area. As long as he didn't die, he could start over.

After all, he still had someone to take care of. He couldn't die yet.

"Waldrick, you don't know Felyn?" Silafiel raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"I don't. Brother, his companion can even use magic. The two of them wantonly slaughtered humans that night. He might be the incarnation of a demon, a member of the demon race! You should get away from him quickly and just execute him!"

Kill Felyn quickly! Kill him, and I can live!

At this moment, the study door opened.

A pink figure leaped past Waldrick.

She didn't respond to Silafiel's smile, but instead trotted to Felyn's side, her hand resting on his shoulder.

"Felyn, I'm here. Have you been waiting long?"

"Not too long. Have you finished your bath?"

"Mhm..." Viloti placed a strand of hair in front of Felyn's face. "I just washed my hair. Do you like the scent?"
