“Is it that the more one calculates, the more certain things become unavoidable?”
“I tried my best to avoid it, yet it turned out like this… it seems I need to change my way of operating.”
Having thought through this layer, Luo Miu finally understood.
If this game world had something called a will, it certainly wouldn’t have anything to do with the word “human”.
A person might choose not to go to Liangshan, but if Liangshan comes crashing into them like a stroke of fate, what else can be done?
“Since complete refusal is no longer working, if I don’t want to continue falling into unknown territory, I must carefully consider my next moves…”
“I can only rely on my brother.”
The effectiveness of the contract hadn’t passed yet, so Luo Miu still couldn’t speak, and currently, the only reliable person by his side was Kafnir!
Only through him could Silvia be made to thoroughly understand everything, and only after she obediently accepted reality could everything else be discussed.
But this also meant… as for the matter of market manipulation, it would be completely impossible for him to clear his name!
Luo Miu’s mind was made up.
Rather than being bound to a god-human for a year, he would rather have his reputation ruined like this, letting them think whatever they wanted!
In any case, this contract must never be completed!
Clack.
The classroom door was suddenly pulled open.
“I am sorry, Professor, I am late.”
With disheveled hair and casual clothes, Ibuki Mio stood before the door and bowed in apology, her hand sliding a few times over her brooch.
After another vibration, the professor smiled kindly while changing her attendance to “normal” and said:
“This is a small mistake that anyone can make, please take a seat, Student Ibuki.”
“Yes …..”
Ibuki Mio walked toward her seat located in the row behind Luo Miu, but before her voice could fade, she saw an existence she had never imagined.
“Senior Silvia?”
Looking at the girl dressed in a butler’s uniform before her eyes, Ibuki Mio couldn’t help but be startled.
Why was she here?
Yesterday at the market, shouldn’t Lord Luo Miu have already completely crushed her dignity and pride!?
And also …..
Was Lord Luo Miu sitting a bit too close to Kafnir today?
Something was wrong.
Carrying her doubts, Ibuki Mio walked to her seat and sat behind Luo Miu as usual.
“Good work, Student Ibuki.”
Unexpectedly, Luo Miu turned his head and spoke proactively:
“You must be tired from these past few days?”
“I am indeed a bit fatigued.”
Ibuki Mio smiled faintly:
“I hope your lordship will show a bit more pity in the future, if it is made so fierce every time, I fear my life span will be shortened.”
“This also proves our compatibility is excellent, does it not?”
As he spoke, Luo Miu’s smile carried a trace of helplessness.
This conversation was intentionally meant for Silvia to hear.
Such a harmonious team, along with the manifestation of a dominant position—any person would be able to hear that he was the big villain who should be stayed away from!
From the corner of his eye, he saw Silvia’s clenched fists, as if her heart was struggling with something.
Very good!
Hurry up and abandon your bizarre thoughts, return to a human train of thought!
“The timing was off …… ”
Silvia had noticed Ibuki Mio’s appearance long ago.
Disordered, messy, rather than saying it was a poor sleeping posture, it looked more like she had been severely “disciplined” in the bedroom.
Because of this, there was this morning’s lateness……
Fierce, compatibility, pity …..
These terms all indicated that before Luo Miu went to sleep after returning to his room last night, something had already happened between the two!
Silvia looked at Luo Miu.
She was very certain that he was looking at her, yet on that rule-breaking face, there wasn’t the slightest bit of ambiguity….
Instead, there was a bit of helplessness?
It was as if he was forced to recite shameful lines and could only use exaggerated acting to hide his inner resistance!
“Are you calling out to me for help .…? “
Silvia had a sudden realization.
He must be forced!
Even his physical body had to be used at will by the members of the team!
This was simply …… too … too scandalous!
Silvia’s gaze did not stay on Luo Miu.
Her vision passed over Luo Miu’s shoulder and fixed onto the side of Karenina’s face.
That man, the successor of the Russell Royal Court, Kafnir.
He sat upright.
His posture was standard and impeccable.
But on his neck, an abnormal flush appeared.
That color even spread to his earlobes.
His hands were placed under the desk, his knuckles turning white from exertion.
He seemed to be enduring, and also seemed to be resisting.
“What is he restraining himself from······ ”
Silvia understood that emotion.
This resistance was not out of disgust.
But a suppression of desire.
“Is it because this is a classroom that he can still restrain himself? But… what about in private?”
A chill ran up Silvia’s back!
In places unseen, what kind of things would this sanctimonious chief captain do to Luo Miu?!
What a despicable soul.
What filthy desires.
Silvia’s heart throbbed with pain.
She understood the helplessness in Luo Miu’s conversation with Ibuki Mio.
“Excellent compatibility”.
“Fierce”.
Those terms were not pointed at Ibuki Mio at all.
She was a smokescreen used to cover the truth in public.
The one truly threatening Luo Miu’s body was precisely this Kafnir who looked serious but manipulated everything behind the scenes, this Russell person!
Yet Luo Miu had to shoulder all the infamy for him, becoming a white glove, even …… sigh!
“Is it because he doesn’t want me to fall into the same situation as him ….. ”
The more she thought, the more Silvia’s heart throbbed with pain.
Even though he was submitting to such a person, he still took the risk to try and make her hate him, to make her stay away.
Thinking that by doing so, he could protect an innocent person from being caught in this great web of conspiracy.
Foolish, yet so damn sincere!
“Student Kafnir.”
The history tutor’s voice rang out in the classroom.
“Please answer, regarding the Abyss War three hundred and forty years ago, what kind of role did the Russell Royal Court play at its turning point?”
As Karenina stood up, the gaze of the entire class gathered.
Luo Miu also sat up straight, pulling a little distance away from his brother.
“Whew”
Karenina exhaled in her heart.
Calm down, Karenina, you can do this.
As the tactile sensation faded, the girl’s blank mind was finally filled by rationality.
Organizing her thoughts, she began to answer the question.
“In the 112th year of the Holy Calendar, on the eastern side of the battlefield, Russell successfully resisted the invasion of the Northern Demons, blocking their attempt to head south ….…
The voice was steady, the logic clear.
“Sigh, as expected of my destiny thigh …..”
Luo Miu cast a gaze of approval.
Matters from hundreds of years ago came to her easily; this was the result of elite royal education!
“I must do something.”
Silvia made up her mind and raised her hand;
“Professor, I have a question.”
The tutor nodded.
“Student Valentin, please speak.”
Silvia stood up, her gaze looking straight at Karenina.
“I would like to ask Student Kafnir.”
“In the history of the Russell Royal Court, does there exist any precedent of forcibly twisting the will of others for personal desire and signing unequal contracts?”
The voice fell.
The air in the entire classroom froze.
Everyone looked at Karenina.
This question was too sharp.
It was almost like pointing at the nose of the royal family and cursing—
The Russell Royal Family of a hundred years ago was the very synonym for autocracy!
“I have finished answering my question, teacher.”
Karenina did not look at Silvia, but simply concluded her answer:
“Very good, very comprehensive, as expected of a Russell person, please sit down.”
The history teacher also didn’t say anything else.
Luo Miu was stunned.
What was this dragon girl going crazy about again?
It was a perfectly good history class, so how did it turn into a personal attack?
But ….. wasn’t this also an opportunity to show team harmony?
“Senior Silvia, this is a classroom discussion, please do not deviate to irrelevant topics.”
Before others could criticize, Luo Miu spoke first, facing Silvia directly:
“The question you raised is very offensive and of no help to the class.”
“No one will ever use those methods to bind others again, it won’t happen again.”
“I understand.”
Silvia pondered for a few seconds and immediately understood Luo Miu’s intention.
What he meant was that these public opinions wouldn’t cause any impact on Kafnir at all, and would only lead her into a passive position!
Even at this stage, he is still thinking of me!
Her eyes grew hot, she looked at Luo Miu, her voice carrying a trace of trembling.
“Luo Miu, no need to worry.”
“I will definitely protect you.”
Luo Miu: “?”
Setting aside the fact that you were just sniping my bro, what kind of crap are you talking about now?!
Are you really crazy?
The whole class: “?”
Karenina: “?”
“No wonder it turned out like this, it’s not strange then …· ”
At this point, Ibuki Mio understood:
“So he has driven his opponent to have mental problems? Lord Luo Miu’s plan is truly a psychological blow!”
Luo Miu felt like his head was exploding.
I just want you to stay away from me!
Protect me?
How are you going to protect me?
By being my dog and guarding the door every night?!
I don’t need that!!
“Enough!”
Luo Miu stood up.
He looked at Silvia.
“My business has nothing to do with you.”
“Please, do not disturb my life again.
After speaking, under the stunned gaze of everyone, he directly grabbed Karenina’s hand.
“Let’s go.”
Damn it, I can’t take it even a little bit, how can this woman be so crazy!
Grabbing the only normal person, Luo Miu quickly fled the classroom.
Zzt!
The history tutor received another batch of mysterious credits and turned a blind eye.
“So warm…..”
Karenina’s body stiffened once again.
The boy’s palm was warm and dry, carrying the breadth and strength of a border noble.
Following the examiner was definitely right.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two “boys” walked out of the classroom together.
And this scene completely shattered Silvia’s last bit of hesitation.
To avoid risk, he actually used this method, in front of everyone, to defy his superior!
Silvia’s fists clenched.
Nails dug into her palms.
Watching the backs of the two as they departed.
A line of clear tears finally slid down from the corner of the dragon girl’s eye.
He really…..
“In the end, it was him who stood forward again… what exactly have I been protecting…”
