Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess!-Chapter 426 : I Will Miss You, Felyn

Another week had passed since the end of Serafina's contract.
Tomorrow was the day to set off for the Royal Capital district.
Felyn lay on the desk in his bedroom at home, the pen rolling on the tabletop.
He gazed at the bright moon in the night sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh..."
Adelina's rose scent still lingered on the notebook on the desk, the fragrance left behind by her fingertips as they brushed across the paper just now.
"Studying is really hard."
No matter which world, no matter what one studied, once it was related to an exam, it felt like it would become very boring.
During these days, Felyn had many teachers.
And they were almost the best teachers in this world.
Daiyi, the Saintess candidate of the Church of Truth, was responsible for teaching Felyn knowledge about the churches.
Adelina, the daughter of the Claudes, was responsible for teaching Felyn knowledge about the secular world.
Brenice would train Felyn's sigil abilities, and the Saintess would also give him pointers from time to time.
All the young ladies were the best in this world. Under their guidance, Felyn's progress was obvious.
"Tired?"
The bedroom door was pushed open, and long, rose-tea colored hair came into view.
Adelina, who had just finished her shower, still had water droplets on her neck, which slid down her neck and into her chest, leaving a faint splash on her white, low-cut nightdress.
She tied up her long hair and draped it over her left shoulder.
The three-seven part bangs made her face look even more virtuous and gentle.
Thanks to Adelina these days, otherwise Felyn wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.
Having an older sister-like figure by his side to encourage him made studying less boring.
"Not yet, just worried about tomorrow."
"About going to the Royal Capital?"
Adelina sat next to Felyn, and the fragrance she brought with her refreshed Felyn a lot.
She picked up a small tomato with her fingers and brought it to the mouth of Felyn, who was lying on the table.
"Just eat some fruit."
Seeing Felyn eat the small tomato, a faint smile began to appear on Adelina's lips.
During these days, Felyn was slowly accepting her, not distancing himself from her.
Although the progress was slow, it was still moving forward.
This was much better than before, when no matter what Adelina did, Felyn would seal his heart with the contract.
"Adelina, do you think I can pass the exam?"
"Mhm, you'll be fine."
"Really?"
Felyn himself didn't quite believe it.
Before the school festival, he had only studied intermittently for a period of time. Although he had the guidance of the young ladies these days, no one knew what the final result would be.
"Mhm. When you were under contract, didn't you also remember my preferences and temper well? You would also firmly remember the things I said casually. You're smarter than you think."
Adelina's hand hovered in the air for a moment, then gently rested on Felyn's head.
The young man's hair was rather stiff, and her hand felt itchy on it.
Adelina gently stroked Felyn's head, trying to ease his anxiety.
"Have you packed everything for tonight?" She felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward now, so she casually found a topic to ask.
"Mhm, I'll set off early tomorrow morning."
Felyn felt the warmth on his head and suddenly felt a sense of security.
Being touched on the head like this by Adelina didn't seem so bad.
Tomorrow's schedule was still very full. He would go to the Royal Capital in the morning, and in the afternoon, he would have to meet the king and the royal family.
And of course, Dorothy.
Daiyi's father, Olirian, had also reminded him that once he accepted the contract with Eitani, it would not be as simple as just serving her.
Whether it was the royal family or the churches, their gazes would be attracted by Eitani, and would naturally fall on him.
Thinking of these troublesome matters, the Royal Capital district didn't seem so attractive to Felyn anymore.
Although running away was shameful, it was very useful.
If it were before, Felyn might have thought that saving his own life was the most important thing.
But now, he couldn't allow himself to retreat.
There were many things, many people, that he needed to be responsible for, that he needed to support his own world for.
Although he was a kept man, he didn't want to always hide behind the young ladies.
Perhaps seeing the worry in Felyn's eyes, Adelina showed a trace of heartache, then slowly bent down.
Adelina's forehead touched Felyn's, and their body temperatures began to transfer and merge.
Her grayish-blue eyes were very close to him, so close that Felyn could see himself in her eyes.
"Felyn, once you go to the Royal Capital district, will you become very tired?"
Adelina's eyes were stared at by Felyn, and she became a little embarrassed, starting to avoid his gaze.
Being so close to Felyn naturally made this shy young lady, Adelina, start to blush.
"You can tell me anything. I will do my best to help you. If I can't help... I can also help you ask Viloti, Zervanie, or Miss Daiyi..."
"I know you're carrying things I don't know about. I won't press you. I just want you to... not be so tired on your way forward. At least, I will still be by your side."
After saying this, Adelina's eyes began to mist over with shyness.
The blush on her face became more and more obvious, and Felyn could even feel the heat she was radiating.
"Mhm, I'll pay attention to resting."
Felyn was the first to get up, looking at Adelina who was still lying on the table.
She looked up at Felyn, the moonlight shining on her face through the window.
"Adelina," Felyn said softly, "thank you for these days. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to pass the Royal Capital district exam."
Adelina blinked, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the edge of the table.
This was the first time Felyn had thanked her so seriously, not as fake as in the contract, nor as a joke-like thank you.
But a real, warm gratitude.
"Mhm..."
Adelina turned her face away, the tips of her ears tinged with a faint red.
Felyn, you will, you will pass.
Whether you want to become the strongest man in the world, or just want to fish peacefully by the lake, I will be by your side.
After this, you can also rely on me a little more, trust me a little more. I'm still very capable.
But if I go this time, it might be for a long time.
Felyn said to Adelina as he packed his notes, "If I pass, I'll probably come back for a few days at most to handle things at home. After that, I'll enroll directly in the Royal Capital district and come back when the school is on break."
Adelina clutched her sleeve, her eyes becoming a little dim.
"Mhm."
Adelina was different from the other young ladies. Viloti, Zervanie, and Daiyi would all enroll with Felyn.
But Adelina had refused the early admission exam. She wanted to get first place in the official exam.
So, she would enroll a month later than Felyn.
"I won't be able to see you for a month." Her voice was muffled and began to tremble slightly.
She bit her lip hard, hesitated for a long time, and finally said what was in her heart.
"I will miss you."
Felyn did not respond, but just gently stroked Adelina's head, feeling the girl's warmth.
Their figures were frozen under the moonlight, until the night grew darker, until the lights in the bedroom were extinguished.
