The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 447: So It’s a Meeting of Rivals

The three figures didn't pause for a moment at the Crown Prince's call.
Albanie could only stare blankly as the three gradually walked away, finally disappearing into the crowd of students.
He gazed at the direction where they had vanished, his eyes unfocused.
He opened his mouth, blinked his eyes, but couldn't utter a word.
Could that woman in the long robe be Sapphirose?
Looking at the direction where the robed woman had disappeared, the Crown Prince felt a surge of familiarity in his heart.
Yet, familiar as it seemed, he instinctively believed he had made a mistake.
The mysterious woman's body was completely wrapped in the long robe, making it impossible to discern anything.
He had just felt a slight familiarity and blurted out the name.
Moreover, Sapphirose had wings.
And the woman who had just passed by in the long robe had a flat back with no protrusions, looking like just a woman dressed somewhat peculiarly.
In the bustling capital, such attire wasn't uncommon.
Besides, he had only given her a casual glance.
Without seeing definitive features like Sapphirose's silver-white hair and black and white wings, it was unreasonable to guess someone's identity without any evidence.
"Maybe I'm just being paranoid lately."
Sigh.
The Crown Prince let out a soft sigh.
He raised his head, looking at the clear sky.
After all, he had been troubled by the southern front's issues recently, to the point where even sleep became a luxury.
His mind was probably too fatigued, so it needed to relax a bit.
He often wondered, if Sapphirose hadn't disappeared, and if he had discovered her disappearance earlier, would the current situation be different?
In such a fatigued state, mistaking someone was quite normal.
Moreover, he instinctively didn't want to believe it.
The south was so far from the capital; how could Sapphirose suddenly come here?
She was a weapon, not a human.
The Crown Prince shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
Turning his head, he saw that quite a few students were still gathered in the Arcane Hall, looking in his direction.
After some thought, Albanie decided to leave.
Today was a school day, and he didn't want to cause too much commotion.
He couldn't let his presence disrupt their studies.
After all, these students were the future foundation of the empire.
"I'll go see Mother."
His golden armor reflected a dazzling light in the sunshine as he stepped away from the entrance of the Arcane Hall.
.....
Erica was walking absent-mindedly when she suddenly paused.
She realized she had unconsciously fallen a few steps behind Henie.
Coming back to her senses, Erica pondered deeply.
She recalled being somewhat distracted when entering the Arcane Hall earlier.
After all, her mind was filled with the urgency to find the professor and tell him certain things as soon as possible.
So she hadn't paid attention to her surroundings.
At that time, there seemed to be a flash of dazzling gold before her eyes.
At first, Erica thought it was the sunlight reflecting off her own golden hair.
After all, her waist-length beautiful hair had confused her before by reflecting light.
But thinking back now, that light seemed not so simple.
Because that dazzling gold was too brilliant.
On second thought, she remembered hearing that students were welcoming the Crown Prince at the academy's entrance today.
A doubt suddenly flashed in her mind, as if she had discovered something amiss.
'Could it have been the Crown Prince I saw just now?'
Ugh?
How to put it, if it was indeed the Crown Prince, then she had been quite impolite.
After all, as a member of the du Cloye family, not greeting the prince seemed inappropriate.
Although imperial law didn't mandate it.
But as a noble, if such behavior were to spread, it could easily lead to criticism that the du Cloye family was arrogant and disrespectful of royal dignity.
This was also why Erica hadn't joined the group of students at the academy's entrance today.
She was concerned that meeting the prince might lead to many complications.
She didn't want to spend the whole day accompanying the prince.
"What's wrong, Erica?"
Henie turned around and noticed Erica seemed to be thinking about something, having fallen a few steps behind.
So she slightly slowed down, looking at the contemplative Erica.
Hearing Henie's inquiry, Erica came back to her senses, shook her head, and quickly caught up:
"No, nothing."
"Let's go find Professor Viktor first."
Henie nodded.
Although just now, she seemed to have heard some vague sound.
It was as if someone was calling Sapphirose's name.
This was a bit strange.
Henie thought for a moment, glancing back at Sapphirose, whose emotions remained as calm as ever.
People who knew Sapphirose's name should be limited to herself and Professor Viktor.
Plus, with the many students in the Arcane Hall, the noise was chaotic.
Hearing things was an unavoidable accident.
So she didn't make much of it.
However, Henie didn't notice.
At this moment, Sapphirose, dragging her long robe, seemed to sense something.
Her gaze looked far towards the entrance of the Arcane Hall.
Then, her emerald-like pupils slightly contracted.
[Detected whitelist — Albanie Saul]
[No life threat from whitelist character, no need to follow]
Her gaze gradually returned to normal, slowly becoming calm.
She continued to follow behind Henie, head lowered, like a silent bodyguard, not saying a word.
Until all three stood at the center of the Arcane Hall's formation, Henie gently pinched her fingers.
A azure light slowly rose from the central formation, like an ocean whirlpool slowly rotating, gradually enveloping them. With the effect of magical power, the three gradually disappeared in the formation.
Only the still noisy and numerous students in the Arcane Hall remained, each engaged in their own training.
……
Duke Levi stepped lightly to the door of the conference hall.
After slightly adjusting his attire, he turned the doorknob and gently pushed the door open.
As he stepped over the threshold, he raised his head, looking with slight surprise at the two people in the conference hall, his eyebrows slightly raised:
"This is truly an unusual combination."
On the left side of the room, Zora bowed to Duke Levi with a smile, her eyes showing respect, courteous and polite.
"Miss Zora from the Casidra Trading Association, and..."
Duke Levi's voice trailed off as he turned to the right.
There, a man in a crisp suit stood before him.
Wearing a tall gentleman's hat, with a smile, he appeared calm and mysterious.
He smiled warmly and spoke:
"Long time no see, Levi."
"Yes, it's been a while."
Levi's gaze lingered on the other for a moment, and he spoke calmly:
"Lipoaute."
After a casual greeting, the three walked deeper into the room.
Levi casually waved his hand and said warmly: "Please, sit wherever you like."
Zora and Lipoaute exchanged a glance, then sat side by side on a spacious sofa.
Meanwhile, Levi walked to the other side of the tea table and elegantly sat down in front of the two guests.
He noticed Lipoaute looking around the room, seemingly with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
The room was filled with various precious antiques, and the walls were adorned with paintings by famous artists.
Long silk curtains elegantly draped down to the brown wool carpet, gently covering the large and clean windows.
Beside it, a tall standing clock stood silently, its pendulum swinging back and forth, emitting a crisp bell sound.
In the brown brick fireplace, flames burned calmly and gently, like a sleeping child spirit resting among the logs.
"You're still the same as before. After all this time, your home still looks the same, even the servants haven't changed."
Hearing Lipoaute's words, Levi smiled faintly and casually replied:
"Everyone in the family knows some magic, there's no need to frequently change servants."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant walked into the conference hall.
He was carrying a silver tray, his fingers cleverly maintaining a hovering distance from the bottom of the tray.
As if by magic, the tray floated slightly in the air.
The servant skillfully picked up the teapot and filled three exquisite teacups with steaming tea.
Then an invisible force gently lifted the teacups, placing them steadily in front of the three.
After completing these actions, the servant, supporting the tray, bowed respectfully to the three.
Then he elegantly left the room.
Levi nodded politely to Zora, his voice gentle:
"Miss Zora, if the tea is not to your taste, please let me know anytime."
Zora smiled slightly and responded:
"Mr. Levi, I came here mainly to tell you about those antiques you wanted appraised last time."
"It seems all those antiques were recently brought from overseas, but they are very ancient."
"If you're interested in selling, our association is still willing to help."
Levi nodded, raising his arm in a generous gesture:
"No problem, but before that, please let me review the sales list."
"After all, some of them are items I personally cherish very much."
"That is certainly your right."
Zora said with a soft laugh.
Then, she deliberately looked around, saying with a hint of curiosity:
"I'm very interested in the items in your home, may I have a look around?"
Levi smiled and nodded in approval:
"Of course, I'll arrange for a servant to show you around."
He gently tapped the table, and the servant who had poured tea earlier walked in again.
He stood beside Duke Levi, bowed slightly to Zora, and respectfully said:
"Guest, please follow me."
Zora elegantly stood up, gently adjusted her skirt, then followed the servant out of the conference room.
Now, only Levi and Lipoaute remained.
Everyone knew that Zora had deliberately left, giving space to Levi and Lipoaute.
After Zora left, Lipoaute visibly relaxed.
He looked at Levi, his tone light:
"How is Cassandra doing?"
Levi picked up his teacup, took a small sip of hot tea, his gaze sweeping over Lipoaute opposite him, his voice calm:
"That's something you shouldn't be asking me."
"As for you, you've been back for days, don't you know your wife's condition yet?"
Lipoaute smiled slightly, his golden eyes meeting Levi's gaze.
Like flowing golden sand slowly turning in his pupils:
"But the one she loves has always been you, Levi."
"Stop, I don't want to hear those useless clichéd plots, we're not in a drama."
He put down his teacup, clasped his hands together, and placed them on the table.
"So what do you want to tell me? Lipoaute Reiser."
His gaze fixed on Lipoaute, he calmly responded:
"Or should I call you by your other name—"
"The current chairman of the Casidra Trading Association, Lipoaute Nannade?"
