He went to the Royal Capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the hospitality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn wiped his mouth with a napkin, watching the male servants come to clear his dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then... there was no \"and then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti and Felyn just sat at the dining table for a full hour with no communication whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conflicted. So conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I start a conversation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the table where Felyn couldn't see, Viloti was about to tear the tablecloth apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, she'd always been surrounded by a group of annoying boys—she'd never needed to actively find topics of conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually Felyn would initiate conversations with her. Why wasn't he talking today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn looked at Viloti's increasingly gloomy face, not daring to speak at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that murderous expression, he absolutely had to carefully analyze what he should and shouldn't say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before dinner, he'd given Viloti a hint to let her gracefully admit that everything she'd done for him was purely out of sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she seemed very unhappy about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he hadn't used the bathroom since noon and couldn't hold it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, Miss Viloti. I'd like to use the restroom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air felt frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn wondered if Viloti had misspoken, but seeing no expression suggesting she'd said something wrong, he began wondering if \"thank you\" was some special way the Silafiel family responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Felyn couldn't see that Viloti's ears hidden under her pink hair were burning hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath Viloti's calm expression was a not-so-calm heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I saying?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did I say thank you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd thought Felyn was going to politely praise something in her house again and instinctively said thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, Miss Viloti's home is really beautiful. Haha, it's truly enviable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of his lower body, Felyn had to work hard to say a few more words with Viloti to learn the Silafiel family language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know whether \"thank you\" meant agreement or disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti gently shook her head. \"It's not as good as you'd imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, I haven't formally congratulated Miss Viloti on getting into the Royal Capital Academy yet. Unfortunately, I don't have any presentable gifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn looked into Viloti's eyes, showing a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cold yet delicate face reflected in Felyn's pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti's fingers trembled slightly as she lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. No gifts are needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting into the Royal Capital Academy is wonderful. You'll become a real clergy member, right? With Miss Viloti's talent, you'll surely achieve things beyond my imagination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti nodded with a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel super lucky right now, like being classmates with a superstar before they became famous. Having this time together is enough for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Felyn say this, Viloti unconsciously fell into memories of this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To let her eat limited sweets, Felyn slept at the shop entrance the night before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To deliver a scarf she'd left in the classroom, Felyn stood waiting for her in the pouring rain for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cover for her being late, Felyn told the teacher in front of everyone that it was because he'd pestered her, causing her delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, why were all my memories about Felyn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti tried to search for memories of other people, but unfortunately she had no friends. Besides Felyn, she really couldn't think of anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After graduation, I plan to use the money I've saved from working these past few years to open a small shop. That's my current dream. When Miss Viloti becomes famous, you can visit me if you have time. By then I might have several children, hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn kept talking, not giving Viloti any chance to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By contrasting his future with Viloti's, she would realize their future lives had no intersection whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn't know what Viloti was thinking, Felyn wanted to kill all possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn's voice was light, as if painting a picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, cracks finally appeared in Viloti's cold, refined mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I was too selfish. Someone like me wanting to establish connections with Miss Viloti is rather laughable, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti bit her lip and turned her head slightly to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying these things now was too cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you knew it was like this, why did you approach me in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was wrong with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Felyn chatting and laughing with Adeline, she'd instinctively wanted to blow them up, and she really couldn't hold back from doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Felyn describe how he'd disappear from her world in the future, why did her heart hurt so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago, the Silafiel family wasn't as glorious as it was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction of the \"Light of Seiwa\" Sorester family shocked the noble circle and showed new aristocrats like the Silafiels an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To compete for the vast market and resources left after the Sorester family's downfall, the Silafiel family engaged in fierce competition with other nobles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unscrupulous competition also affected Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young ladies from other families spread rumors at school that Viloti was actually an arrogant young lady who looked down on others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even bribed Viloti's friends to trick her into attending a banquet specifically targeting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After attending that hostility-filled banquet, Viloti didn't leave her room for six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could see those people's disdainful looks even with her eyes closed, afraid that people would still gossip about her behind her back if she went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Felyn. Felyn's appearance let Viloti, like a newborn kitten, gradually poke her head out to look at the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In him, Viloti could feel a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like the sun—no matter what happened, he would always appear on time the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the Silafiel family won the hyena feeding frenzy, becoming an undeniable major family in Seiwa within a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had humiliated her at the banquet all silently disappeared from Seiwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn's appearance also shifted everyone's attention to him, making people somewhat sympathetic to her instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything gradually got better, and perhaps she was now excellent enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sun would never rise again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Viloti, the clothes are ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler carried a bag and placed it on the bedside table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Viloti, it's getting late, so I won't disturb you further. Thank you for doing so much for me today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn bowed his head in thanks, feeling somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid Viloti was thinking strange thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifyingly, Felyn had guessed correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Felyn wanted to leave, countless possibilities floated through Viloti's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the moment Felyn stepped out the door, he'd be kidnapped by other bad women again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside was too dangerous—better to let him stay at the manor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worries about food or drink, with dedicated care every day, living like this until old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't have the ability to keep the sun from setting, but she completely had the ability to keep this small fallen noble Felyn at the manor for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, what was I'm thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti pinched her arm, pulling herself out of her fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand thoughts converged into three light words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn walked home, street lamps casting warm light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, as if relieved of some burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if his meaning had been conveyed, but intuition told him if he didn't leave now, he might never escape that manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had asked for his somewhat worn clothes back—they could still be worn after washing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clothes Viloti gave him were neatly placed in the bag he carried in his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn fumbled for his communication seal from his pocket, wanting to see if he had any unread client messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the seal, Adeline's messages exploded toward him like confetti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn swallowed and typed to Adeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Adeline, I'm fine. I'm heading home now. Are you hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than five seconds after sending, while Felyn was still thinking about what to say next, Adeline's message arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank goodness.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I was really worried about you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This message was instantly recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I was somewhat worried about you too, since you got involved because of me.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I wasn't hurt. Uncle Ailo saved me. It's just that my father won't let me go out now—I'm confined at home.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silafiel family's young lady had thrown a seventh-order seal at the Claude family's young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably both families' parents were now frantically busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline being grounded was reasonable—who knew what the Silafiel family was thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would imagine such a strange reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn scratched his head.
