Villain Princess.

Did she come too late?

But she had come here as fast as she could when she heard that Leon walked with Annelie on the hallway.

Leon looked at Adela and said slowly, "Lady Annelie had returned earlier, Lady Adela."

"Uh, yeah?" Adela looked at Leon with some confusion. For some reasons, she felt that Leon seemed to be a bit more distant than usual.

They were all students in the Capital Academy and since Adela has been staying beside Crown Prince Edward, they usually call each other with their name directly. But right now, she heard Leon calling her politely.

This made Adela a bit confused.

Did she do something wrong?

"Is there anything else, Lady Adela?" Leon asked slowly, his tone was calm and composed.

One wouldn’t be able to detect anything wrong just from his tone.

"I... want to talk with you?" Adela asked, not sure what she should say. The events shouldn’t have played like this.

There were indeed many events that were going wrong because of her changing things here and there. But this event shouldn’t be changing like this, right?

Was it because she came here too late?

Ahhh...

Adela really hate her timing.

"I would like to practice, Lady Adela," Leon replied in an apologetic tone. "It’s going to be the knight’s examination time soon and I want to participate."

The fact that Leon wanted to become a knight was not a secret. Crown Prince Edward and the others already knew. While Leon’s talent was not as good as Benny, but it was still very good and his chance of passing the examination was high.

But no matter how high the chance of passing the examination was, one wouldn’t know until they took the examination itself.

So the preparation was necessary.

Now that there was no need for Leon to pay attention to the written examination for other subjects, he could focus on his training. Not that he cared that much about his other subjects if he had to be honest.

"Alright," Adela replied when she heard Leon’s words. She knew that it was his polite words to say that he hoped her to leave. "You can definitely pass the exams and become a knight, Sir Leon!"

Leon smiled politely. "Thank you for your kind words, Lady Adela."

After that, Leon took his sword and walked to the field. He did come here because he wanted to train. Another reason was also because no one would bother him when he was training.

It was the unwritten rules for them not to disturb others who were training in swordsmanship.

After all, they wouldn’t like it either if someone disturb them when they were training.

Leon himself also planned to become a knight, so the other students knew they should not disturb him.

Adela stood still on her place, watching Leon’s back.

"It shouldn’t be like this," Adela muttered in a low voice. She hadn’t even properly reached half of Leon’s path because it was blocked by this event, which shouldn’t have happened in the game.

Again and again, Adela was reminded that the real life was different from the game.

As much as she liked these characters in the game, but she has lived with them for years in this world by now. Her every action would result in different response from these people.

Unlike the games that had been set up that she only needed to click and followed as the main character would not do anything strange, she had to control her behavior and many others here.

It was tiring.

’Forget it if I can’t get him,’ Adela thought to herself.

It was not like she planned to follow through his path until the very end. Because even Adela herself knew that she didn’t want to pick Leon from the very beginning. He has never even been the choice for her.

Because without the marriage with Annelie, Leon would be like Benny, become a knight and had to forge their own nobility’s path.

She didn’t want to.

Her own status was higher than these two because she’s a duke’s daughter. Why should she look down when she could look up.

So from the very beginning, there were only three options for her.

Even though Adela felt some pity, but she quickly put the thoughts away and left the field again.

The other characters have almost reached the last step.

Only Crown Prince Edward was the one that Adela wanted to follow through until the very end, though.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Leon practiced hiring the target in front of him, his expression was rather dignified.

He knew very well that Adela must have her own reasons for finding him at this point of time. But he didn’t want to get involved with Adela too much.

She might be a nice girl.

But Leon has no interest to care about such thing. Right now, he just wanted to pass the knight’s examination as fast as possible. After that, there were going to be other things for him to do.

...

Aurora’s side

Aurora walked out of the tea ceremony club room and sighed deeply. One of the main reason why she like that room so much was because no one would disturb her when she was staying in the club room.

The newer students who stayed in the tea ceremony club room all asked to quit one after another.

The older ones, who were still interaction with Aurora, were warned off by their parents one by one. It was clear that their parents had seen that storm was brewing, but there was nothing that they could do but to remind their children not to get involved in either side.

Now that she had come out, Aurora simply made her way to the garden not far from the dormitory.

The Capital Academy encompassed a large area.

There were many gardens here for the students to spend their time.

Aurora quickly found Lester, who was practicing with his swords in a clearing area for the student’s knights near the dormitory.
