Felyn couldn't believe this was real.

Dorothy was coming to the school, and what's more, she was joining the School Festival Planning Committee.

This was insane, absolutely insane.

This tiny room was now packed with most of his clients and ex-clients.

Leaving him no room to breathe.

The thought of Dorothy and Adeline meeting made Felyn pull at his hair.

Adeline was still his client, and she could say something at any moment that Dorothy shouldn't hear.

A meeting between two clients was the last thing Felyn wanted to see.

Fortunately, Adeline wasn't here this morning; she and Viloti had gone out to visit the guests who would be attending the school festival.

At noon, applause echoed through the School Festival Planning Committee classroom.

Dorothy stood in the center of the room, giving an inspiring speech. Everyone's eyes were shining.

The School Festival Planning Committee's location was somewhat remote, which was one of the reasons Zervanie hadn't been discovered by her fans.

Now, with guards stationed at the building's entrance, there were no crowds gathering at the classroom door.

"I hope to spend a happy time with all of you here."

As she said this, Dorothy's gaze shifted to her Brother Felyn.

After Her Highness Dorothy finished her inspiring speech, everyone began their daily work.

"Ah, isn't this student Felyn."

Having finished her speech, Dorothy called out naturally, eagerly making her way to Felyn's side and sitting in Adeline's seat.

"What a coincidence, to meet you here."

Then, she leaned in close to Felyn, her hot breath brushing against the tip of his ear.

"What a coincidence, Brother Felyn. I didn't expect you to be here too. Dorothy is so happy," she said in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of wanting to please him.

"Ah, um, I'm very happy too."

Felyn was not happy at all.

At this moment, he felt Dorothy's hand secretly place itself on his thigh.

Dorothy's body moved closer and closer to Felyn's, until their shoulders touched.

Until the girl with long, silver-white hair came before them.

"Felyn, I have a document here for you to sign."

Felyn had thought that with Adeline and Viloti gone from the classroom, everything would be fine, but he was wrong.

He had overlooked another top figure of the Siveshus Empire who was also here.

Miss Zervanie

Her long, beige sleeves were tucked into her pants, and her usually loose hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her pink earrings.

Although there was a smile at the corners of her eyes, her slightly furrowed brow betrayed her true inner thoughts.

She hadn't expected Dorothy to actually come to the school.

Nor had she expected that less than half an hour after Dorothy entered the classroom, the two of them would be acting so intimately!

"Your Highness, you're sitting in Adeline's seat," Zervanie said, turning her head and reminding Dorothy with a smile.

"Adeline? She sits here? So close to Brother Felyn..."

Dorothy immediately grasped the core issue, she muttered in a low voice.

At the banquet in the capital district last time, Dorothy had already seen that Adeline's feelings for Felyn were not ordinary.

And now she was sitting so close. What if feelings developed over time?!

No, absolutely not.

"Then let Brother Fely... let Felyn sit with me? We can go sit in that corner."

Dorothy pointed to the window seat in the last row of the classroom.

The view outside the window was great, and it was secluded enough, a perfect spot for feelings to grow.

Zervanie followed the direction of Dorothy's finger, a forced, ugly smile on her face.

Your Highness Dorothy, you're not even pretending anymore, are you! You want to be with Felyn that badly?

I haven't even made such an outrageous request!

"The seats are all assigned. If we change seats, it will cause trouble for others."

Even Zervanie couldn't sit next to Felyn; the seats were divided according to position and department.

Logically, Dorothy, as an outsider, should be sitting with Zervanie.

Dorothy stood up, looking up at Zervanie.

She walked to Zervanie's side, stood on her tiptoes, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered.

"Brother Felyn wants to be with me too, so please don't separate us, Auntie Zervanie."

"A-a-a-a-auntie?!" Zervanie's eyes went wide.

Were those words that the respected, cute, and gentle princess could say?

Your Highness Dorothy, so you're in the same line of work as me? Two-faced, are we!

"Your Highness, what do you mean by that!"

"Nothing. Right now, you're trying to make decisions for Brother Felyn, and decisions he doesn't like at that. Isn't that just like an annoying auntie or elder?"

"You...!"

Zervanie gritted her teeth, her once flawless smile now somewhat twisted.

Damn it!

In her last confrontation with Dorothy, Zervanie had won.

But this time, she had no chance of a comeback at all.

They were in front of Felyn right now; she didn't dare to be too outrageous.

She only dared to secretly show him her heart when he wasn't looking.

Zervanie walked back to her seat, propping her face up with her hand, her gaze still unable to resist sneaking glances at the two of them.

It was lunchtime, and everyone else had gone out to eat.

Only the three of them were left in the classroom.

"Brother Felyn... aren't we going to hold hands?"

"Here? Your Highness, that's not a good idea, is it?" Felyn could already feel Dorothy's fingers touching the back of his hand.

"What does it matter? Besides holding hands, we can do other things too. As long as Brother Felyn wants to, Dorothy will fulfill all of Brother Felyn's wishes, anything at all."

"What book did you learn that line from? Not learning good things at such a young age."

Felyn placed Dorothy's hand back on her lap.

"Dorothy, we are in a public place now, not in the bedroom. And this is not the time stipulated by the contract," Felyn reminded her. "If our relationship is exposed, it will be very troublesome for you."

"It would be best if everyone knew that Brother Felyn is mine," Dorothy pouted, sulking. She didn't like Felyn keeping his distance from her.

Felyn felt that Dorothy was becoming more and more dependent on him. When the contract ended, she would surely have to cry a lot to get over it.

Seeing that Felyn wasn't speaking, Dorothy thought he was angry and rubbed her head against his chest. "Don't be angry, Brother Felyn. I'll listen to you."

Felyn sighed and reached out to pat Dorothy's head.

Different methods were needed for different clients.

For Dorothy, the best method was to coax her.

Dorothy squinted her eyes, enjoying Felyn's touch, her legs swinging happily in the air.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Zervanie lay on her desk, secretly watching Felyn and Dorothy's intimate behavior.

"Sigh."

She let out a soft sigh, feeling empty inside.

She saw her own shadow in Dorothy, thinking of how she used to be just as willful, staying by Felyn's side and enjoying his care.

But now, she could only hide in a corner, peeking at Felyn with another girl.

It's a little painful...

Zervanie felt that she and Dorothy were still a bit different.

At least Dorothy was very obedient and well-behaved in front of Felyn.

But she had exposed her worst side to Felyn.

Zervanie couldn't understand why she had shown her worst side only in front of the most important person.

"Felyn..."

Zervanie called Felyn's name softly. She wanted him to stay away from Dorothy.

"If only Felyn could pat my head..."

The popular singer of the empire was dreaming a normal girl's dream in this classroom.

But she knew that if she really made such a request, Felyn would give her a punch and say, "Is there something wrong with your head?"

However...

A punch would still count as physical contact, right? That would count as Felyn touching me, right?

Then it might be worth a try.
