We are the same age, so you can be casual with me.\" He smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Uriel smiled, it was like a flower blooming in sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cecilia’s breath caught in her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that Uriel was the peak of beauty, even the most beautiful girl in the world would look plain next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheeks turned bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-alright... U-uriel...\" she stammered shyly as she led him outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they stepped out, Uriel felt the warm sunlight touch his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cecilia, can you lead me to Cardinal Raphael?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-of course,\" she replied with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Uriel couldn’t see it, he could feel her happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guided him carefully along the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to Cardinal Raphael’s room, Uriel spoke up again, still wearing his kind and benevolent smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Cecilia, I heard you were planning to go to the Royal Arcane Academy. What stopped you? Is it because of the Goddess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right...\" Cecilia agreed, though only half-heartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a princess of the Holy Empire, she did have some connection with the Goddess, but that wasn’t the real reason she had stayed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was Uriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned a soft shade of red as she sneaked quick glances at him from the corner of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, Cecilia had always been obsessed with beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she was extremely beautiful herself, so beautiful that she could proudly claim she was the most beautiful girl in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, this pride grew so strong that she rejected every marriage proposal that came her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even rejected Crypian Thorne, who was famous for his good looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had still insisted she meet him, which is why she was originally planning to attend the Royal Arcane Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything changed the moment she attended the Saint Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first saw Uriel, she couldn’t believe her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could be that beautiful. It felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in her life, she, who took so much pride in her own appearance, felt small and insignificant next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oddly enough, Uriel never showed any pride in his looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That surprised her even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when she begged her father to speak with the church so she could stay and serve as Uriel’s attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa...\" Cecilia let out a quiet sigh as she thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But he is not someone who has room for love in his heart...’ she thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t allowed to fall in love, and even if he was, he probably never would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already given his entire being to the Goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that clearly the day he dug out his own eyes without even letting out a single groan of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cecilia?\" Uriel called gently when she stayed silent for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cecilia snapped out of her thoughts and quickly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, I was just thinking about my schedule...\" she made up an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she wasn’t allowed to think of Uriel that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already some dissatisfaction from the church about her serving him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you miss not going to the academy?\" he asked with a soft, gentle voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-no,\" Cecilia stammered a little. \"Why would I miss it? To begin with, I didn’t want to go there in the first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shrugged her shoulders lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Uriel hummed as he walked, still holding her hand. \"Would you like to go with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued with a nostalgic look on his face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking of visiting the Royal Arcane Academy since long ago, when I was still an orphan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the main reason was different, he needed to take the divination board from his main body to divine everything, using this wish as an excuse was a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Academy? Did you want to attend the academy as a student?\" Cecilia asked, sounding a bit curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha,\" Uriel chuckled softly. \"Well, there was a time I wished to study there. But after finding Goddess Benigore, I lost that wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brushed his hair away from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I guess I still want to see how the academy looks like... though not like I can truly see it, haha.\" He chuckled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Cecilia responded. Then she spoke slowly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I’m your attendant, so wherever you go, I should go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will accompany you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e7602526814a1297819db62b5f8d8b298790133fe6dc3ef05eeb5e4cd92e45b","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-89","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-87",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
