Two Green and One Red

Sheen almost immediately understood upon opening it that it was a roster, containing all the information of the teachers and students of Starlight Academy… even with corresponding pictures.

But this wasn’t something they could get their hands on with their current connections; there were only two possibilities that came to mind:

The Blue Lion family and that Arnos kid…

Sheen was immediately angry.

“Your Highness, can we go inside first?”

Flori glanced around and quickly pulled Sheen into her room.

But upon turning around, what he saw was a knightly phantom wearing heavy armor and wielding a giant shield.

Damn it!

Flori hadn’t expected the thing she’d been worrying about to happen in such a terrible situation.

“Answer me three questions,”

Sheen said through gritted teeth.

Although there wasn’t the threat of the previous time, Flori knew that if she didn’t answer well, her and Sheen’s relationship would be over.

Of course, this time Flori couldn’t and didn’t intend to act like an innocent girl who didn’t understand anything.

“What did you pay to obtain this roster?”

Sheen said furiously.

However, upon hearing this, Flori was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood that this black-haired youth… was more worried about her than blaming her.

“Nothing, I didn’t pay anything. If I had to say, I just sold someone a favor. You owe me a favor, so I didn’t pay anything.”
Flori explained in detail.

Green light flashed in the eyes of the Guardian Knight.

Sheen’s anger immediately dissipated by a large amount,

But he was still very displeased.

“Why didn’t you discuss this with me beforehand?”

Flori was stunned again.

Because she saw that Sheen was feeling self-reproach, thinking that it was because he was useless, that she had to imitate such a thing.

Because I feel that today really can’t be considered a success, I didn’t help Your Highness, nor did I achieve more results, and I judge that to break the current predicament, obtaining the roster is necessary…

At the same time, I don’t have any intention of blaming Your Highness, nor do I feel that Your Highness can’t help!

In the Guardian Knight’s eyes, green light flashed again.

But Sheen was even more self-reproachful.

She was only regretting that she had impulsively used this method to deceive Flori.

(What am I doing?)

Clearly, she had decided to treat Flori well, and decided to trust her.

From the very beginning, he knew that Flori was doing this for his own sake, but he couldn’t help but be angry,
angry at himself.

But the result was to take a disrespectful approach to Flori.

And was also seen through those humble thoughts in his heart by Flori, and she had turned around and used her abilities to make him feel at ease… He was really too pathetic.

He was thinking, this couldn’t be considered as following the rules of this ability. 

He had no choice but to…

“Your Highness, as for the matter you want to know, don’t worry about me,”

Flori smiled and said, “The strength of the Guardian Knight’s power is related to a person’s beliefs, and it can even be said that the Guardian Knight is the embodiment of one’s own faith… please don’t go against your own heart,”
(Even at this point, she is still considering me?)

Sheen took a deep breath and said:

“What is the relationship between the person who gave you the roster… and you?”

After saying this, Sheen couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.

He didn’t have the courage to ask who that person was, so he came up with such a roundabout question.

He was really too hopeless.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, I can’t tell you.”

The Guardian Knight lit up with red light.

Sheen was stunned.

If Flori had answered that question just now, no matter what the answer was, Sheen would have been extremely ashamed and uncomfortable.

So she chose not to answer, to continue to preserve her cuteness, and to make Sheen feel better.

And these considerations and intentions… in the case of the Guardian Knight’s descent, Sheen could feel them from Flori’s body.

This was Sheen’s Guardian Knight’s ability.

When used in battle, he could predict the other party’s intentions; when used in matters, he could know whether the other party was lying.

And what others thought of him, he could vaguely feel.

Considering his pursuit was to find true friends and family.

Inversely speaking, the better the other party was to him, the more he could understand.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t calm enough, and I made things difficult for you.”

Sheen also wanted to show the Guardian Knight as little guilt as possible, so as not to make the other party more worried.

“No, I didn’t do well enough in this matter. As Your Highness’s maid, I didn’t report anything to you before doing such a thing; I’m really very sorry.”

Flori lowered her head deeply.

“No, even as a maid, I’m not qualified to restrain you like this. It’s because I didn’t leave you enough free time before… you’ve been working hard.”

Sheen opened the door and, to prevent Flori from starting to apologize again, quickly returned the roster to her,

“Rest well, don’t stay up late.”

The door closed.

“Sigh.”

Flori couldn’t help but sigh.

It wasn’t that she was worried about the relationship between the two breaking down.

On the contrary, after this matter, Sheen became…

This wasn’t some speculation.

But the display of the ability of Xuesai.

Although Flori didn’t know exactly what Xuesai’s ability was, it was probably related to truth and lies, and even involved a bit of intentions.

So just now, under Flori’s questioning, Xuesai and Arnos could feel the other party’s malice.

But Flori couldn’t be happy at all,

Her initial plan was to secretly hide this roster, but now, looking back, there was actually a way to directly let Xuesai and Arnos obtain this roster, and at the same time, dispel the misunderstandings between the two brothers…

But because she was used to doing despicable things behind Xuesai’s back, she unintentionally erased this possibility… Flori was increasingly disgusted with this fake identity.

In order to conceal some things, she had to lie again and again, lie about one-sided facts… She hated herself like this.

(It seems what Flori and Arnos said is correct; I do indeed pursue a righteous three-viewed person in my bones.)

Fortunately, Flori Haggia was, after all, a fictional character.

As long as she achieved her goal, she could stop pretending to be this way.

Of course… she wouldn’t forget the sins that this identity carried, but as long as she wasn’t existing as “Flori,” it didn’t matter how she paid it back.

Speaking of which, there was still one thing that achieved great success today.

Flori had been somewhat troubled, not knowing how to make other students dislike herself without Sheen having any opinions.

But unexpectedly, this goal was easily achieved during the conflict between Sheen and Arnos.

Now, I’m sure many people are calling her a femme fatale, right?

That’s good.

This was what she deserved.
