Today was a godless Thursday.
Felyn tidied his bedroom while thinking.
His room was practically becoming a hotel with so many people visiting tonight.
Fortunately, none of these young ladies had insisted on staying overnight.
"Whose bag is this?"
While organizing his bedding, Felyn discovered a handbag on the bed.
Viloti had mentioned earlier that Adeline had lain on his bed for a while—it was probably hers.
He'd return it to her tomorrow.
The bag's clasp had somehow come undone, and documents were scattered across the floor.
Felyn gathered them together casually, but when his gaze inadvertently swept over them, he couldn't look away.
"This can't be real..."
He knelt on the bed, continuously flipping through the documents Adeline had left behind.
This was a file about the school celebration.
To ensure this celebration would leave the deepest impression on Seiwa's citizens, Adeline had worked tirelessly to create this celebration planning document.
She understood that while the celebration might draw attention from students within the school, it would be completely unimportant to other citizens of Seiwa.
But Adeline wanted all of Seiwa to know about this celebration.
Besides her competitive spirit driving her to host the most successful celebration since Lanchester Academy's founding, she had personal motives too.
She wanted to partner with Felyn at the celebration.
All of Seiwa would see her standing together with Felyn.
So Adeline had invited numerous social celebrities and high-profile figures.
Popular songstresses, luxury brand founders, imperial princesses.
These three were Adeline's key invitations—they were the most famous figures in Seiwa.
Felyn stared at Adeline's invitation list, wiping sweat from his forehead.
Damn, these were all my clients!
It was over—all these people would appear at the celebration simultaneously?
Felyn never wanted to experience another battlefield like Viloti's banquet.
But now with so many more clients appearing at once, if they discovered him through any carelessness at the celebration, he'd be in serious trouble.
Never mind the others—if Zervanie learned he was a student at Saint Andros Academy, she might run straight to the school to pester him.
Then she'd probably find his home address and refuse to leave.
That would completely destroy his relationships with all his clients.
This was terrible.
Felyn put the documents back in Adeline's bag and sat on the bed contemplating countermeasures.
While he still held a noble title, his actual treatment was that of a commoner, unlike his clients who were genuine nobility.
Since school requirements meant he had to attend, but he probably wouldn't encounter his young client ladies who'd be surrounded by nobles.
So if he just stayed in some corner of the venue, they probably wouldn't notice him, right?
Looking at it this way, the risk was still quite small.
What Felyn didn't know was that at this celebration, two young ladies had already set their hearts on making Felyn their partner.
They intended to bring Felyn to participate in activities, which would naturally involve greeting various distinguished guests.
Mist District.
Adeline walked in the rain for thirty minutes, holding her umbrella.
She had no destination, just wandering aimlessly.
The scene of Viloti kissing Felyn was still vivid in her mind.
Felyn had clearly intended to save his first kiss for her—why had the gods allowed Viloti to steal it?
This wasn't fair.
If she dared force-kiss Felyn today, tomorrow she'd dare kidnap him to her manor, and the day after she'd dare drug him and drag him to bed.
If she moved any slower, in a year their child would already be learning to walk.
Adeline admitted she'd underestimated this young lady who usually hardly spoke.
In certain matters, she was even more impulsive than herself.
"I'm so angry!"
Adeline stamped her foot, water splashing silently through the air.
After wandering in circles for quite a while, Adeline found herself back at Felyn's house.
After that long staring contest with Viloti earlier, Adeline had pretended to go home, causing Viloti to get in her car and leave as well.
"Hmph, Miss Viloti, you didn't expect me to pretend to leave and then circle back, did you!"
Adeline muttered to herself.
She'd realized five minutes after leaving that her handbag was still on Felyn's bed—she must have casually placed it there while lying down.
With all attention focused on Viloti force-kissing Felyn afterward, she'd completely forgotten about the handbag.
This handbag was a prop Adeline had grabbed casually for disguise, making it look like she'd just finished school work and stopped by Felyn's house on the way.
The documents in the handbag were very important for her and Felyn's future—they determined whether all of Seiwa would know about her standing together with Felyn.
Adeline had originally planned to have Felyn bring it to school tomorrow.
But thinking it over, wasn't this an opportunity heaven had given her?
She could use this chance to return to Felyn's house.
My poor Felyn had been defiled—maybe he was very sad now, crying in front of the mirror saying, "Lady Adeline, I'm sorry, I'm not clean anymore. Don't touch me anymore, so you won't get dirty."
Thinking this, Adeline couldn't help wanting to immediately return to that little house.
Moreover, for her carefully prepared celebration plan to be implemented, Felyn, as the most important male lead, absolutely had to become her partner.
Only if Felyn passed this weekend's joint examination could he become her partner.
So Adeline absolutely wouldn't allow Felyn to fail the joint examination—all her efforts would be wasted.
Adeline quickly made a phone call saying she'd spend tonight at her small villa.
The guards beside her were people she trusted. After briefly explaining the situation, they wouldn't ask too many questions. Noting only to be careful about safety, they said nothing more and agreed to keep this secret from her father.
Everything was ready.
Felyn would probably be very surprised.
Please properly thank this considerate young lady.
Adeline stood at Felyn's door, looking back at the dark street blocked out by the lamplight.
Viloti shouldn't still be here, right?
To prevent Viloti from coming back, she'd deliberately wandered outside for a long time.
"Ding dong."
Contrary to Adeline's expectations, it wasn't Felyn who opened the door.
It was Felyn's sister, whom she'd just met in the room.
"Hello, I'm very sorry to disturb you, but I think I left my handbag here."
Adeline bowed politely to Daiyi.
"Is that so? Come in first."
Daiyi noticed Adeline's gaze lingering inside and understood her little scheme.
Looked like there would be another good show to watch?
The door closed, and the warm light from the little house was ruthlessly shut inside.
Viloti stood behind a tree, not caring even as rainwater soaked her shoulders.
She just stared at that door, gripping the umbrella handle tightly.
Her premonition had been correct.
That big-breasted wicked woman had only pretended to leave to deceive me.
Now she'd come back to seduce Felyn.
