Last I heard, after the incident, she hasn’t even been attending her classes or fulfilling her duties as the Student Council President properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved into a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if I had to guess... it’s probably because of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elric’s brows rose slightly, though his composure never cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, My Lady, I suppose we will find out after seeing it for ourselves, won’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, both she and Elric turned and began walking toward the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dining hall, the atmosphere was bustling. A long, polished table stretched across the room, and around it stood servants in neatly pressed uniforms, lining up with trays of steaming dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lady, please try this one,\" one servant said eagerly, presenting a plate of roasted meat glazed in golden butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another stepped forward, holding a tray of pastries dusted with shimmering sugar cream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lady, it has been so long since you last visited. Please, eat to your heart’s content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding servants nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at the table was Alicia von Crestvale, her long snow-white hair tied neatly, her elegant dress draped perfectly across her frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave them a faint smile, though her usual mischievous spark seemed dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, everyone. But this is already more than enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants exchanged worried glances. They whispered quietly among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She doesn’t look like herself... Could something have happened at the Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before their whispers could spread further, the large doors at the far end of the hall opened with a creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard von Crestvale strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the atmosphere shifted. The servants straightened and bowed deeply, stepping back as one before leaving the hall in silence. Within moments, the only ones left were Reynard and Alicia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Alicia simply stared at her father. Her eyes wavered, as if trying to hold back emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard softened his usually stern expression into a rare, gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... how’s my little angel doing? You’re eating properly, right? You know, I bought all those games you secretly requested from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brown eyes glinted mischievously as he leaned closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just make sure your mother doesn’t find out about that, alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Alicia stood up from her seat. Her face twisted slightly, her usual composure breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened, Alice? Is everything alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could get another word out, Alicia rushed toward him, throwing her arms around him and hugging him tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shoulders trembled, and within seconds, warm tears began to roll down her cheeks. She buried her face against his chest, crying silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard froze for a moment, his eyes widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his arms wrapped around her protectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned stern, though it carried worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened? Did Alden do something at the Academy? Or was it someone else? Just tell me their name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alicia only shook her head, sobbing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing... I just... I’ve missed you a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard’s stern expression melted, and he gently stroked her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I missed you too... more than you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone else had seen the Duke of the North at that moment, they would never have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same man who cut down his enemies mercilessly on the battlefield in cold blood... was now smiling so warmly while holding someone close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a voice broke through the tender silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh, look at that... the father spoiling his little girl as always.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Reynard and Alicia turned their heads toward the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena stood there, her expression carrying a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you only going to hug your father? It’s been months since I last saw you face to face, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia immediately pouted, her tears vanishing like magic. She turned her face away dramatically, hiding behind Reynard’s tall frame as if using him as a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. I don’t feel like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena’s beautiful face twitched, a vein pulsing visibly on her temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This brat...\" she muttered in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard and Elric both stifled laughter, struggling to keep straight faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena’s sharp eyes instantly snapped toward them like daggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men immediately coughed and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena turned back to her daughter, a dangerous glint in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how you want to play it, huh, brat? Then maybe I should tell your father about that little crush you had...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Color drained from Reynard’s face instantly. His eyes widened as he stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped lower, sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he a noble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he from Avaloria?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do his parents do? He better not be playing with her emotions—so that’s why she looks so sad, huh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia’s breath hitched, panic flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I didn’t have a crush on anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena, ignoring her daughter’s protests, smirked slyly and looked at Reynard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, but you’ve already seen him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard frowned deeply, confusion filling his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve seen him? Reyna, don’t confuse me. Just tell me who it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Serena could answer, Alicia suddenly blurted out desperately, sadness bursting forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad! You don’t have to worry! That guy she’s talking about is already dea—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Alicia could finish, Serena’s voice cut her off, smooth and merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s that silver-haired boy. The one lying in our mansion right now. The one we just visited moments ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words hung in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, both Reynard and Alicia froze. Their eyes widened as confusion struck them at the exact same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reynard blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then both of them shouted simultaneously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehhhhhhhhh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, inside the manor chamber, the silver-haired boy’s fingers twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyelids fluttered faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room’s silence was broken by the soft sound of breath catching in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex Dragonheart... was about to awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how was the Chapter?
