The campus was bustling with excitement.

Even Felyn was about to be infected by this atmosphere.

There were banners everywhere, occasional sounds of revelry, and most importantly, the young ladies in their various school uniform skirts were a feast for the eyes.

The vitality of youth filled every corner of the campus. It was wonderful.

But youth is also finite.

After tonight, Felyn, Adeline, and Viloti would be considered graduates in name.

And after tonight, the contract between Adeline and Felyn would also end.

"Felyn, this way, this way."

Adeline led Felyn to a large building.

Unlike other places in the school, the entrance to this building was guarded by heavily armored royal guards.

The presence of soldiers on campus felt somewhat jarring.

However, it was a necessary security measure, as this was the VIP reception area.

After showing her credentials to the guards, Adeline led Felyn into the building.

"The king is coming to attend the school festival today, so we need to set things up in advance."

Of course, Adeline had another reason for bringing Felyn here: the other young ladies couldn't get in at all.

It would be too tragic if the remaining time she had with Felyn was divided up by other young ladies.

In a luxurious reception room, Felyn saw Adeline's father's nameplate.

"Is your father coming too?"

"Mhm, not just my father, Viloti's father will be here as well. The founder of Serafina and Her Highness the Princess will also be here."

"I-I see."

Of the four names, three were his clients.

He had encountered something with such a low probability, so why was it so troublesome to roll for a superior-tier sigil?

"Felyn, do you have time this afternoon?"

This afternoon was a holiday; the school had given everyone time to go home and change their clothes.

"I have to go to the hospital this afternoon. Olivia has been able to stay awake for most of the day recently. I want to bring her to see the school."

There was one more thing Felyn didn't say out loud.

There was still the matter of a certain young lady with dark green eyes that wasn't finished.

What a busy day.

"Veronica, how do I look in this?"

Dorothy, wearing a magnificent pink and white poofy dress, twirled around in her bedroom, as cute as the dolls on her bed.

She had her pinkish-purple hair styled in a princess hairdo today, with a custom-made crown from Serafina on her head.

"Beautiful, Your Highness. Mr. Felyn will surely be captivated by you."

Veronica sighed softly. She had learned to flatter from being around Her Highness.

"Hmph, hmph, tonight's Brother Felyn can only be mine. No one is allowed to snatch him away!"

Dorothy skipped over to her dressing table and put on the final necklace accessory.

"Anise, no, I should call her... Anifrey now. How has she been lately?"

"Your Highness, she has gotten used to her identity as a maid and hasn't shown any abnormalities recently."

"That's good. Brother Felyn likes maids very much. If I can turn all his enemies into maids, Brother Felyn will be happy too."

This was Dorothy's most merciful measure towards Anise.

Felyn had told Veronica about the church member, and Anise had also confessed a lot. It was certain that the Noke family was connected to the church.

As for the defensive divine art the opponent used that Felyn mentioned, Dorothy was also investigating which churchs could cast such a divine art.

She believed an answer would be found soon.

Once the truth was discovered, the entire Noke family would be executed for treason.

Anise, who should now be called Anifrey, was protected by Dorothy in this way.

"But if Brother Felyn wants her dead, then just dispose of her immediately. She was trained for Brother Felyn's sake anyway."

Anifrey was also very beautiful and had a good figure. She should be able to satisfy Brother Felyn.

What reassured Dorothy the most was that she didn't have to worry about Brother Felyn falling in love with Anifrey.

Dorothy also noticed that Felyn's defeat of the church member... was somewhat illogical.

It seemed Brother Felyn still had secrets from her.

But none of that mattered. As long as Brother Felyn loved her, she didn't care what he hid, and she didn't care if he lied to her.

Dorothy looked at her perfect self in the mirror and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Today, she had to forget all these things and enjoy the school festival with Brother Felyn!

Outside the royal palace, the special car heading to Saint Andros Academy was ready.

Tonight was the joint school festival of Saint Andros Academy and Lanche Academy, and the entire city of Seiwa was lively.

Due to the high level of attention, plus the king's attendance, many celebrities were desperate to attend.

Besides the nobles and celebrities of the country, there were also elders from the three major churchs of Truth, Order, and Samsara in secret.

But they were merely using the school festival as a pretext to come to the neutral city of Seiwa for an informal meeting to discuss recent events around the Sivishus Empire.

The road to Saint Andros Academy had been blocked off. Nobles from all over were now mostly in ceremonial cars, all heading in that direction.

The sky slowly darkened, raising the curtain for tonight's stage.

Saint Andros Academy.

Royal guards now stood at the gate, taking over Linda's job.

They screened the personnel, ensuring the safety of Saint Andros Academy tonight.

The school gate was covered with advertisements from various sponsors, the largest of which was a poster for Serafina. Tonight was an excellent opportunity to display luxury goods to high society.

Everyone who entered the school gate could see the statue made by Serafina placed in the courtyard at the entrance. It cleverly designed the school emblems of Saint Andros Academy and Lanche Academy into a work of art.

"What do you think Miss Serafina was thinking?"

Lord Silafiel and Lord Claude looked at the statue in front of them, also filled with admiration.

Silafiel had always thought the Saint Andros Academy emblem was too ugly, and Viloti didn't look as good in the uniform with the emblem on it.

He once wanted to pay to have it changed, but the school wouldn't agree. But now, the emblem he thought was ugly had been designed so beautifully by Serafina.

"Art relies on talent. Neither of us has a chance."

Under the reception of the welcomers, the two were led into the VIP lounge.

As the pillar families of the empire's military and economy, they would meet and talk with the king here.

"Claude, sometimes I feel like I've lived these past few years in vain."

Lord Silafiel took the tea handed to him by a maid. Only when the VIP lounge, covered in luxurious carpets, was left with just the two of them did he slowly speak.

"I just thought of something today. I went through great pains to seize the Sorester family's inheritance, and what's the result? My own daughter falls in love with the Sorester family's son. Once they get married, the Sorester family's assets will return to Felyn's hands. I feel like I'm working for Felyn, collecting his family's inheritance for him."

"Then you can just not let Felyn in." Claude hadn't forgotten the task his daughter had given him tonight.

Adeline was going to make her final confession to Felyn tonight, and she had begged her father to stop Silafiel at all costs.

"How could I do that? Viloti likes him very much. Don't even mention it. She can't even eat in front of me every day, thinking about Felyn all the time. I really can't stand it." Silafiel clutched his chest, complaining incessantly.

Although Viloti didn't usually talk much to Silafiel, she was very proactive with Felyn. This unfair treatment made the old father Silafiel very dissatisfied.

"Silafiel, tonight you..."

Claude still wanted to probe for more information from Silafiel, but at that moment, the royal guards had already pulled open the doors to the lounge.

Silafiel and Claude both thought the king had arrived and stood up to greet him, but they didn't expect a young man to walk in.

"Your Lordships, we meet again."

Daiyi's father, Aurelian, took off his hat and bowed slightly to the two of them.
