After receiving their approval, Stella Arnos was even happier.
But soon, Sheen and Tianluoli didn’t even use telepathy anymore and started talking openly.
Sheen didn’t know if Stella had telepathy with Tianluoli privately, but he could see that this woman wasn’t that interested in Tianluoli; her objective had been himself from the beginning.
(Is she trying to get me to sell my labor to protect her?)
Sheen thought of a somewhat reliable reason.
This wasn’t to say that he thought the person would really attack Stella, but from the reactions of the students just now, it could be seen that, although that person was in the north, thousands of miles away, their influence in the school was completely no less than Arnos.
Or it could even be said that a large part of Arnos’s influence came from that person.
That person’s influence in the academy… even in the empire was overwhelming.
This made Sheen even less trusting of Stella’s previous words.
If that person really still liked Stella, and even had the idea of wanting to take Stella from him…
As long as that person showed this tendency and sign.
There would be no need to do anything; the entire empire would be thrown into an uproar, and there would be a one-sided condemnation of Sheen… perhaps he would be the subject of light novels overnight.
(Or, this woman understands this point, and that’s why she wants me to take the initiative to dissolve the engagement?)
But Sheen only thought about it and didn’t take it to heart.
Because it was unreasonable.
At least Stella had no reason to do this.
Their engagement was a weak alliance, and both for Sheen and for her, this engagement was more disadvantageous than advantageous; the only reason was that person…
But that person had left the north a long time ago and hadn’t had any direct contact with her.
So, what exactly was Stella’s purpose in approaching him?
Sheen was at a loss.
The only thing he could confirm was: this woman was very dangerous.
“Stella Arnos…”
Sheen whispered the name, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
This woman was not simple.
Stella Arnos seemed to have sensed Sheen’s silence.
She smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Are you doubting me?”
Sheen was silent.
“Are you doubting my purpose in approaching you?”
Stella Arnos’s smile deepened: “Are you thinking that I’m not here to help you, but to use you?”
Sheen’s expression was very calm, but the vigilance in his eyes never diminished.
“That’s right, I am doubting you.”
Sheen said, “What exactly is your purpose?”
Stella Arnos didn’t answer; she just chuckled and looked at Sheen, her eyes filled with playful amusement.
“It seems you still have reservations about me.”
“Of course.”
Sheen said lightly, “After all, how long have we known each other?
You suddenly approach me and show me kindness; it’s hard not to make me doubt your purpose.”
“I understand.”
Stella Arnos nodded: “Your doubts are reasonable.”
“So, are you going to explain?”
Sheen looked at her, his eyes filled with a trace of inquiry.
Stella Arnos smiled lightly and said, “Explain what? I have nothing to explain.”
Sheen’s face immediately darkened: “What do you mean by that?”
“The literal meaning.”
Stella Arnos shrugged and said, “You’ll know my purpose in the future.”
“Now, you just need to know that I have no ill will towards you.”
Sheen sneered and said, “You think I’ll believe you?”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Stella Arnos smiled indifferently and said, “Anyway, I don’t expect you to believe me immediately.”
“And, even if you don’t believe me, what can you do?”
Sheen’s expression became even more gloomy.
This woman was simply impervious!
“Are you threatening me?”
Sheen’s tone was a little cold.
Stella Arnos smiled without speaking.
“Well, since you’re not willing to say, then I won’t ask anymore.”
Sheen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the displeasure in his heart, and said:
“However, I still have to remind you one thing.”
“I’m not someone easy to provoke.”
Stella Arnos smiled, saying, “I know.”
“Of course, I know.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen you either.”
Sheen frowned and said, “What do you mean by that?”
Stella Arnos didn’t explain; she just looked at him meaningfully and said, “Let’s go, we should go see that person.”
Sheen’s expression was a little unsightly, but he didn’t pursue the matter and followed Stella Arnos, walking towards the depths of the academy.
In his opinion, the more Stella Arnos was like this, the more it showed that she…
The Blue Lion family were all must and should be studied well.
It might not be in the academy, but outside, the families affiliated with the Blue Lion were now implicitly assigned to Sheen’s faction.
Of course, the most important thing was that the one who facilitated this matter was that old guy, the Blue Lion Knight Order’s commander, that is, the mistake that Stella’s father Reinhardt made a year ago, now had Sheen’s influence because of it.
Even though Sheen had proposed to dissolve the engagement, leaving aside what he himself thought, for the Blue Lion family, it would definitely be like the sky collapsing…
As for that person proposing to marry the Blue Lion Knight Order, to be protected by the Azure Sky?
Anyone who would say such a thing was definitely the biggest idiot in the world.
Therefore, Sheen could only make this judgment—Stella wanted him to protect her in the school.
But this wasn’t an easy task; Sheen was still in a difficult situation himself… and from the above information, I’m sure everyone has seen it, most people in the academy liked and admired the Azure Sky Knight Order And the Blue Lion family had always been their object of dependence.
Sheen actually didn’t have much intention of helping the Blue Lion family, especially helping Stella Arnos.
But Flori clearly wanted to solve this matter together… Though Sheen didn’t think well of it, he also didn’t want Flori to be too hard and too frustrated after failure.
But it was still too early to talk about this now; Sheen quickly turned his attention to observing Stella.
‘Miss Arnos.’
‘Prince Sheen, just call me Stella.’
Seeing Sheen take the initiative to contact her, Stella seemed very happy.
But Sheen’s purpose in doing this was just to verify one thing.
(Sure enough, this woman’s magic skills are higher than that of Grandfather Floret.)
Stella cast the telepathy magic; similarly, she didn’t need a magic staff, the magic power fluctuations were weak, and it could be cast instantly.
But Sheen didn’t feel any aura and characteristics of a strong person on the other party… And Floret’s mental perception could see that she was more powerful than the average student,
Moreover, with the Arnos family’s character, if Stella really had talent, she would probably have boasted about it to the whole world like her older brother and younger brother.
So, excluding these, the most reasonable explanation was that Stella had found a method suitable for herself, so that she could achieve the level of a great mage at the level of a mage… uh, Sheen also had this kind of thing, but he did it by himself,
In fact, the techniques he used were completely different from Tianluoli and Stella’s,
But he didn’t know if it was his illusion, he always felt that Flori and Stella used the same techniques… all from the source to improve the quality of magic power.
(It’s probably that person’s merit.)
Considering that Flori might have been guided by Bright and Champion, and Stella was that person’s childhood sweetheart… Sheen was also relieved and didn’t think too much about it.
After dinner ended in a somewhat subtle atmosphere, Sheen quickly bid farewell to the blue-haired girl he didn’t want to see another glance of, and took Tianluoli back to the dormitory.
As it was a dormitory, since they lived in a castle, and the students were upper-middle-class nobles, the layout of the dormitory was also luxurious and spacious,
Considering the risks of assassination and such, the walls from top to bottom, from left to right, had been reinforced and defensive magic applied.
The two attendants’ rooms were a little smaller, located on either side of the master’s room.
After Flori had made the basic checks for eavesdropping and peeking on the three rooms, she returned to her own room,
The point is.
Flori collapsed on the still-comfortable bedding, feeling somewhat tired.
Her spirit wasn’t very tired, although there were many things to do this first day.
Also, the battlefield, and teams of tens of thousands, in which she…
But her body was somewhat overwhelmed; after all, this body hadn’t been trained much, and she didn’t intend to train, so she used magic power to make up for the difference.
But even so, normal physical exertion was indispensable…
As she was now, she was just the constitution of an ordinary girl.
But the most tiring was the body and mind… Their performance today, overall, was a big failure.
Not to mention that Sheen’s reputation had become worse, Stella was still troubled by those rumors.
She had memorized many people’s faces and personalities, but she still didn’t know their names, which families they came from, and which forces…
“No, it can’t end like this.”
Flori patted her face and stood up again.
Sensing that Sheen next door was probably reading, she quietly left the room and came to the corridor in a stealthy state.
After a round of careful sensing and investigation, she finally found the room where the target was located.
Going around to the outside, Flori easily broke the defensive magic of the balcony.
She knocked on the window, and without waiting for a reply, she entered inside.
“Yo, good evening.”
Inside the room, the black-haired, purple-eyed youth was sitting leisurely on the sofa; he showed no surprise or fear at Flori’s arrival.
But Flori came here just to make him feel fear.
She quickly walked to his side, grabbed his ear, and pulled him up.
“You little brat, what have you been up to today?”
She scolded angrily.
