Returning to School

Shortly after Flora and Xue En returned to the mansion, they went to their respective rooms.

Considering she had to go to school again tomorrow, and after playing all day, Flora was really a little tired, so she gave up on continuing to work.

Of course, the actual situation was that she wanted to be busy, but she didn’t have the chance—

“Flora, are you free?”

Not long after she returned to her room, Heidi and the other three came knocking with excited expressions.

“Flora, you went on a date with His Highness Xue En today, right?” After entering the room, Yara’s eyes sparkled, “And the clothes you’re wearing… could those be gifts from His Highness?”

The two sets of clothes packed from the clothing store had already been delivered to the mansion and were brought by Polina, so it was inevitable that the four of them would guess.

“It wasn’t a date; it was just that His Highness saw that I was working too hard and didn’t know how to rest, so he found a reason for me to relax…”

Flora didn’t intend to hide it, because it would make Xue En’s image more approachable.

However, after hearing this, the four women were even more excited.

“This is definitely an excuse; it’s definitely a date,” Yara affirmed.

“Wow, His Highness Xue En is so considerate!” Gracie couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Lady Haggia,” Polina even knelt down and spoke about their relationship in several

“How could there be any of your SF light novels? I didn’t plan to become His Highness’s lover at all.”

Flora was well aware that they were just joking, but she also tried to clarify as much as possible.

“That’s right, with your abilities, you will be able to become a female baron or countess in the future.” Heidi thought Flora was going for a career path.

“Not becoming a lover… Could your goal be His Highness’s wife?

To become the wife and not just the lover?”

“Thinking of a higher goal, you’re worthy of being our head maid!”

Rina nodded.

“I also think Sister Flora is much more suitable than that fiancée!” He raised his hands high.

This was also understandable that they would think this way.

After Flora showed and hinted at the difference in her identity, the difference in identity between her and Xue Hui, also did not seem so big.

Although Flora later slightly recovered some of her reputation, the people at the bottom were just not necessarily hating her; they couldn’t be said to be so happy or welcome to her compared to Flora.

“Really, how can I be worthy of becoming any wife, you guys are too much next time, His Highness is just treating me as his sister now.”

Flora didn’t completely shut down this statement either, but shook her head and waved her hand, treating it as a joke.

After that, everyone also quickly turned the topic to the sights of the three cities…

After chatting for about an hour and a half, they were still not satisfied and remembered that they couldn’t disturb Flora’s rest, so they left one after another.

But not long after…

…it was Yara.

“Flora, sorry to bother you again, but there’s something I forgot to say just now… thank you.”

After hearing that their final itinerary was a high-class restaurant, she knew what the main goal of this outing was. But considering the others were present, she didn’t say much at the time, and only came to express her sincere thanks now.

Flora didn’t need to be humble to say “no need to thank you”, nor did she intend to show any signs of being annoyed or tired, so she lightly nodded her head.

But because Yara didn’t need to, she also bid farewell to Xue Hui and Morik.

But just two minutes later, the door was knocked again.

This time it was Heidi.

Familiar with the entrance, she locked the door, Heidi secretly pulled Flora to the bed, and whispered:

“Flora…”

Flora understood.

Her tactful explanation for future considerations was instantly tasted by the clever Heidi.

Of course, even if she understood this, she could silently hide it in her heart.

But out of concern for Flora, Heidi remained tight-lipped and still decided to find out.

Understanding this, Flora quickly made a decision, quickly averted her gaze, and tried to make her cheeks slightly flush.

“No, there’s no such thing, I… how could I possibly like…”

Well, this is Flora’s act.

The purpose is to make Heidi misunderstand.

The latter was indeed fooled and, after taking a deep breath, came forward and held Flora’s hands.

“Don’t worry, I will keep the secret and won’t tell anyone… even destruction! ” Heidi said firmly,

“If you need help later, just ask me… I believe you will definitely defeat that Blue Lion young lady!”

“We, haven’t gotten to that point yet!” Flora continued to shake her head, her face flushed.

“Be confident, Flora, you are not inferior to anyone, you definitely can.”

After encouraging Flora for a while and instructing her to be sure to seize the opportunity at school to get closer to Xue Hui, Heidi left.

After sensing that Heidi would really not be back for the time being, Flora quickly put away the shy look just now, and revealed a face as cold as frost.

The reason she did this was nothing more than to set a foreshadowing.

When she later had an ambiguous relationship with Xue Hui that seemed like love, she already knew about this,

Heidi and the others quickly spread the rumors throughout the mansion, making everyone think that they were a lesbian couple.

In this way, she could not only eliminate the thoughts of other men towards her, but also take her and Xue Hui’s relationship one step further.

Everyone was staring at her and Xue En with hateful eyes… creating an atmosphere that their relationship had already been solidified.

And in the invisible, she put psychological pressure on Xue En, making her think, “It seems I really like Flora, the others even see the intention of Lujung… Self-romance.” 

In fact, even if she didn’t make a guest appearance, the girls who love gossip will likely whisper and look at her and Xue En with an “eating melon” gaze.

But in order to speed up the progress, for the sake of being foolproof, Flora still chose to betray her own Heidi?

“I’m really despicable…”

Flora couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

All she could do was speed up the process and achieve her goal as soon as possible, so that she could reduce the number of times she did this kind of against her will.

Fortunately, judging from the situation today, in Xue En’s heart, she was no longer just a simple family member.

At least… the other party had been treating her as a girl.

Although she didn’t quite understand how this led Xue En to have this kind of cognition, as long as the result was good.

There was nothing to say overnight.

After eating three meals as usual, the two returned to school in a carriage.

Although it was the most noble and highest-level Imperial Academy, the scene on Monday was no different from other schools…

The school was full of students who loved to play and were late to the point of being listless, and a certain silver-haired girl was no exception.

She walked on the road casually.

But Flora’s guess was that she had most likely experienced a disruption because she was unable to train.

The best proof was that upon seeing Flora and Xue En, this silver-haired girl immediately pounced over like a hungry wolf, and asked with an eager expression:

“Flora, I finally saw you… I’ve endured it for almost three days, when will it end?”
