The written test was finally over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started walking toward the academy’s training grounds for the practical exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he stopped. He turned his head quickly and looked behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Nothing. No one there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Julius frowned. \"Weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged and kept walking, but the strange feeling didn’t go away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he stepped inside the academy today, it felt like someone was staring at him, really hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a sharp, angry gaze following his every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I just being paranoid?\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was actually more worried about something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had left her waiting inside the carriage. What if she got bored and climbed out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if someone saw her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst of all... what if she ran up to him shouting \"Papa!\" right in front of everyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be okay with most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not with Rosalina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rosalina heard Rosel call him \"Papa,\" Julius was sure his life would become ten times harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking to Rosalina was already like walking on eggshells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wrong word and she would freeze him with that cold look of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed. \"Haaah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t even seen my Rose today,\" he said quietly to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The whole day has been crazy. I had to rush straight to the written exam. No time to meet her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled a little. \"But once I reach the training grounds, I should finally get to see her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius picked up his pace, feeling a bit better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shadows behind a pillar, a pair of cold black eyes stayed locked on him. Watching. Following. Never blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius kept walking, completely unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small cloud of dark smoke exploded behind a pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out stepped Devil Rosalina, horns, tail, glowing red eyes, and her favorite pitch-black trident sparkling in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared straight at the real Rosalina (who was hiding nearby) and hissed in a very angry whisper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think you’re doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go up there right now and ask him who that little girl is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want my married life to end before it even starts?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Rosalina snapped back, cheeks turning pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you know we can’t let anyone find out about us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my father hears I have feelings for a Hayes, especially Julius, he’ll kick me out of the succession race forever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hamph!\" Devil Rosalina snorted loudly, twirling her trident like a baton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That senile old geezer... I swear, one day I’m gonna poke him. Poke. Poke. Poke. Right in his wrinkly butt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, enough!\" Rosalina waved her hand quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back now. Look, Julius just walked through the training ground gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina narrowed her eyes, watching Julius disappear inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her lips curled into a dangerous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dared to do something you really shouldn’t have...\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks of black lightning danced in her pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was planning to go easy on you today... but it looks like you need a proper beating, don’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cracked her knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well then. I’ll give you the beating of your life. Better get ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering under her breath, Rosalina started walking toward the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Julius stepped through the gate, and the full view of the training hall hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... this place looks huge,\" he said quietly, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training hall was massive, kind of like a modern tennis court, but way bigger and fancier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around the edges were rows of seats packed with students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third-years and fourth-years sat in the best spots, looking relaxed and chatty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First-years and second-years who weren’t taking the practical exam were squeezed in wherever they could find space, whispering and pointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right in the center was the giant arena, smooth stone floor, glowing boundary lines, ready for fights and spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of the arena were more seating areas, already half-full with excited faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius scratched the back of his head and started walking toward the right-side seats where the other participants were gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, so many people...\" he muttered. \"Feels like everyone’s watching already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around at the other students sitting there, some stretching, some nervously flipping through notes, a few looking way too confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh, there are some familiar faces,\" Julius muttered under his breath as he scanned the waiting area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad it’s hard to tell who’s who...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started walking toward the participant waiting zone, hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example,\" he said to himself, \"finding anyone from TST with black hair is a nightmare. Black hair is everywhere here. Like, half the continent has it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the crowded waiting spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students nearby glanced at him, then quickly looked away and shifted a little farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even pretended to be super busy fixing their shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius raised an eyebrow. \"Okay... people are avoiding me like I smell bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored it and kept searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There should be one guy with black hair, red eyes, and an extremely handsome face... of course, not as handsome as me,\" he smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His name’s Cillian Reeve . First-year. Comes from some tiny clan way up in Alaskar continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stood on his toes, craning his neck. \"Let’s see... where are you, pretty boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full minute of scanning faces, he clicked his tongue. \"Tsk. He’s not here. Great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head toward the other corner of the waiting area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? So many black-haired people... damn, it’s really hard to spot novel characters in real life,\" he grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. Nothing stands out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept looking left and right, muttering to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems he is not here.....\" Just as he was about to continue, a voice called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was famine as Julius turned back and the moment he did, he froze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius blinked, taking in the girl standing right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stunning. Long, shining blonde hair fell like silk past her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright blue eyes sparkled under the training hall lights. Her face was so perfect it looked almost like a doll’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But her figure?’ Julius thought. ’Definitely not doll-like. Full, beautiful curves that could stop traffic...’ he paused as he lifted his chin high, ’of course they have zero effect on me!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you by any chance... Sir Julius?\" she asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow blush crept up her cheeks, turning them a pretty pink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius gave her a small, easy smile. \"Yes, that’s me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied her face while he spoke, thinking: ’Is she from the novel? Or just a random NPC? Hard to tell sometimes...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl let out a tiny, relieved sigh. \"Haa... thank goodness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nervously tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. Her voice stayed shy, almost whispery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been looking for you for weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius raised an eyebrow. \"Weeks? Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded quickly. \"I’m Seraphina Moon,\" she said, giving a small, polite bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Elizabeth told me I should find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s brain short-circuited for half a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom told you to find me?\" he repeated, voice going up a little in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina’s blush deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her shoes for a moment, then back up at him with those big blue eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... she said you might need... um... assistance with your academics. And that I should introduce myself properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s mind was racing while he kept his face calm and friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did Mom send her for... marriage stuff?’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Back in my old world, yeah, I’m way too young for that kind of thing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But here? Noble kids get engaged when they’re basically toddlers sometimes. No age rules, just politics and bloodlines.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Seraphina again, blushing, fidgeting, looking like she might melt from embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But wait... I’m already \"booked,\" right? My Rose got me wrapped around her finger, or more like I’ve got her wrapped around mine. Whatever.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The point is, it’s complicated. And Mom has no idea about any of that. So... oops? Mom probably thinks I’m still single and available. Classic misunderstanding.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Seraphina a small, encouraging smile. \"So, Seraphina... did she say anything else? Like, specifically?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina twisted her fingers together, staring at the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks were bright red now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lower lip hard, like she was gathering every bit of courage she had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\" she whispered. \"Lady Elizabeth asked me to... get along with you and...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a shaky breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...and maybe... consider a future together. If we suited each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius opened his mouth to say something, anything, but before a single word could come out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice sliced through the air like ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get along with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A\u002FN:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 Power Stones = 5 Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every 10 Golden Tickets, 1 additional bonus Chapter will be released.\u003C\u002Fp>",1469,"2026-06-10T05:56:21.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","97a0c5cca246483d912e24acd358b87ff9b95a91dcae3b5197e34553b100725b","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-25","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-23",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
