8 AM.
Pleasant chimes rang through the Claude family mansion.
Under the service of four maids, Adeline Claude slowly rose from her soft bed.
Morning light filtered through the gauze curtains, casting a gentle halo on her cheeks.
The maids gently drew back the curtains, and sunlight filled the entire room.
They all loved serving Lady Adeline.
Not only was she Lord Claude's most beloved daughter, but she treated the servants with the same gentleness and consideration.
They could never have imagined that last night, this Light of Claude—Adeline—had actually been mistaken for someone with NTR fetishes.
Today she wore a light blue long dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem, perfectly complementing her gentle temperament.
Adeline hadn't spent the night at the Claude family mansion in a long time.
Recently, due to the centennial celebrations of both schools, student council work had become increasingly busy.
Not only excellent graduates, but also royal capital nobles and even royalty would attend.
Having slept somewhat late last night, Adeline's head still ached a bit, with sunlight gently warming her temples.
Scattered on the desk were reception plans for three distinguished guests that Adeline had communicated with the student council about last night.
The recent super popular idol Zervanie.
Serafina, founder of the top luxury brand [Serafina].
And Princess Dorothy of the Siveshus Empire.
All important figures—the tasks were indeed heavy.
"Good morning, Adeline."
"Linda, good morning."
Linda's voice came through the communication seal.
Last night's craziness hadn't affected the work of the two student council presidents.
"Did you receive the documents? To better understand your school's ideas, Saint Andros Academy is sending volunteers to assist Lanchester Academy's student council work."
"Mm, our school will also send people to yours."
According to the academy documents, the dispatched volunteers would need to stay by her side at all times.
"Linda, I want to ask you for a favor. Your academy has someone named Felyn—could you make him my assistant?"
"Eh, Felyn? But Felyn is..."
"His father was quite good to me when I was little, so now I want to help him out."
Volunteers also received various subsidies and benefits—the treatment was actually quite good.
Linda had originally wanted to mention the unclear relationship between Felyn and Viloti, but since Adeline had said this much, she swallowed her words.
"I understand. You really have a kind heart."
After hanging up the communication seal with Linda, Adeline took a deep breath.
Just mentioning Felyn's name made Adeline's face start to redden.
Making Felyn her assistant—this way she could see him at the student council too.
No, this way he could see her at school.
This way she could tutor him all day without needing to find excuses, so Felyn could pass the joint examination and qualify to participate in the school celebration.
Right, then he would also meet her friends, eat with her, work with her, go home together, and maybe even meet her parents.
Adeline's heartbeat grew faster and faster. She simply jumped onto the bed and covered her face with the blanket.
The two of them spending the whole day together would be just like lovers.
...
Saint Andros Academy.
Late summer, early autumn.
Felyn got out of the car, squinting slightly in the sunlight.
The academy's main gate was a tall archway carved with intricate patterns, as if telling the story of this academy's long history.
Behind the archway was a straight stone path flanked by rows of silver maple trees whose leaves were slightly yellowing in the late summer wind, with occasional leaves falling and tracing elegant arcs through the air.
"Eh, Felyn, you're quite early today."
Student Council President Linda stood at the gate today as usual, wearing a hat with her golden hair falling somewhat casually.
"President Linda, good morning."
Although last time Viloti had said, "Don't you dare talk about Felyn like that," dealing a deep critical hit to this young girl Linda.
But Linda's personality was quite carefree—she was fine after going home and sleeping.
She didn't dislike Felyn; he was too handsome.
This world was still too friendly to people with high looks.
Viloti, who had arrived at the main gate much earlier, emerged from behind a tree.
Today she wore her neat school uniform, and the handbag she carried seemed somewhat heavy.
The world's blessing fell upon her, with sunlight acting like a spotlight making her more dazzling than anyone else.
Viloti Silafiel.
This young lady had left home at 8 AM this morning.
She had been standing here for one hour and twenty-four minutes.
"Felyn."
Viloti walked to Felyn's side and curtsied to him.
"Viloti, good morning. Are you feeling better?"
Felyn turned around to find Viloti suddenly beside him.
After last night's events, he had thought Miss Viloti would settle down for a while, but today she had actually initiated conversation with him.
"I'm feeling much better."
A few silver maple leaves passed between the three of them, seeming to carry the sound of wind rustling through the leaves.
Watching Viloti and Felyn standing silently in front of her, Linda suddenly had a bad premonition.
These two weren't going to do something in front of her again, were they?
Linda had learned her lesson this time—she wouldn't say anything. You two can fight however you want.
As long as I don't say anything, you can't hurt me.
"I'll head to the classroom first."
Felyn was the first to break this awkward atmosphere, walking toward the classroom.
Viloti also took a couple of quick steps, obediently following behind Felyn as they walked toward the classroom together.
?
Wait.
This harmonious scene felt somehow wrong?
Linda had already noticed why this young lady was standing behind the tree, but she hadn't paid attention.
So she was waiting here for Felyn?
What a joke!
Linda felt that even though she hadn't done anything, she was being hit by romance attacks again.
Looking at their departing figures, Linda's lips had already twisted into a wave shape.
The straight, wide stone path beneath their feet led directly to the academy's main building. The main building's spire pierced the clouds, and the colored glass windows sparkled with dreamlike light in the sunlight.
Viloti followed behind Felyn, occasionally stealing glances at his profile.
Last night Teacher Sofia had told her to try making contact with Felyn first.
But she had forgotten to ask how to make contact with Felyn.
Having never interacted with members of the opposite sex, Viloti could only recall how Felyn had treated her initially.
As Saint Andros Academy's rare genius in a hundred years, Viloti's exceptional memory allowed her to remember every detail and every word of how Felyn had treated her.
In the past, Felyn would greet her at the school gate every day.
Today Viloti had done the same.
The two had walked quite a distance, but neither had initiated conversation.
Until Felyn was about to enter his classroom, he couldn't help but speak:
"Viloti, your classroom isn't in this direction, is it?"
"I like walking."
"Ah? Oh, I see." Felyn was actually powerless to refute this.
Seeing that Felyn didn't refuse her, Viloti felt relieved. It seemed her excuse wasn't too terrible.
Just as Felyn used to escort Viloti to her classroom door every day, Viloti also escorted Felyn to his classroom door.
Their story had already spread throughout the school. When this top-tier pair appeared in the hallway, they naturally attracted much attention.
Everyone pressed against the glass, watching the two of them.
If gazes had temperature, Felyn felt he would already be in an incinerator by now.
Eyes from all directions focused on him—he just wanted to escape quickly.
"Felyn. I have something for you."
Seeing Felyn wanting to slip into the classroom, Viloti quickly reached out to grab Felyn's sleeve.
But she misjudged the force and directly grabbed Felyn's hand.
The young man's body temperature transmitted from her palm for the first time, and this sensation instantly spread throughout Viloti's entire body.
Her amber eyes instantly widened, and her cheeks began to flush.
Her fingers instinctively wanted to let go, but Viloti forced herself to endure the emotions in her heart and continued gripping Felyn's hand tightly.
Felyn seemed to hear all the surrounding students screaming, but he couldn't attend to that now.
Don't grab my hand, young lady!
Your father will cut off this hand of mine!
"I... I brought you some chocolate."
Viloti finally released his hand, searching for something in her handbag.
"I don't know what flavors you like, so I brought all the flavors we have at home." These were all things Felyn had once done for her.
Felyn, in his confusion, naturally didn't notice that in the classroom separated by a wall, all the students were going crazy.
Felyn Sorester.
He could actually make the aloof flower Viloti actively approach him.
This guy—they had originally thought he was a pathetic simp, but it turned out he was the real expert!
