On the first floor, Demi was plunged into imnse confusion and surprise, montarily dumbfounded.
In the shadows on the second floor, Sonia was also in shock, and the technique of the Hidden Hand’s sharp blade quietly dissipated.
If you ask whether they know this person, strictly speaking they don’t; but if you ask everyone in the Dazzling Star whether they know this lady, the answer would be yes.
"Miss Lena!?"
Felix was also stunned, "You, I... why are you here?"
"Have you forgotten? I left sothing in your basent and co over to your place to cultivate occasionally," the dark blue-haired girl said with a smile. "It’s just that I usually co in the morning and you’ve mostly been out recently."
"Ah, ah... that’s right." Felix recollected, showing an embarrassed expression as he looked at Demi, "But I encountered a bit of a situation today..."
Demi seed to have finally processed the current situation. He quietly stood in front of Felix, looking at the dark blue-haired girl, and asked, "Miss Lena, did you know Felix?"
"We’re pen pals," the dark blue-haired girl blinked. "You might know, I’m not of noble birth. I only beca a noble in the past two years. But sotis I need to understand the small knowledge about noble circles, so I made many noble friends, but only Felix beca my close friend over the years."
Demi nodded, "I don’t really follow the news much, but if you had rumors with my brother, I would probably know about it..."
"That’s why we’re just pen pals. Even if we et and hang out, we’d et out of town so reporters won’t catch us," the dark blue-haired girl rolled her eyes and suddenly placed her hands on her hips, saying, "Hmm, that’s right, I’m actually your brother’s secret girlfriend, you didn’t see that coming, did you? But you’re probably younger than , so I’m a little embarrassed to call you brother."
Demi turned to Felix, who nodded and said, "Miss Lena knows my true identity."
"Eh? Does that an, Demi, you already knew that Felix is actually a girl?" The dark blue-haired girl looked dispirited, "Damn, I wanted to see your shocked expression when you found out your brother has a superstar girlfriend."
"Just knowing you two are acquainted already shocked , Miss Lena."
Demi said, "What shocked more was that you seed to have said earlier, you have sothing stored in the basent..."
"Yes, it’s a coffin," the dark blue-haired girl said unabashedly. "It contains materials for my cultivation in the Necromancy Faction, and I usually store them at Felix’s place."
Demi’s expression was extrely complex: "You... you obviously have such a successful career, why would you still cultivate in the Necromancy Faction? And why does the coffin have to be stored at Felix’s place?"
"Career is career, interest is interest. I just wanted to learn from the Necromancy Faction and beco a disciple of Hagen Dazs," the dark blue-haired girl shrugged. "But I also know that cultivating in the Necromancy Faction is bad for my image, and Felix said she has an extrely secretive basent, so I stored all my necromancy materials in her basent and co over to cultivate whenever I have ti... Oh, and I also have property in the Lonely Diamond District, so I won’t get caught by reporters!"
Demi was silent for a mont, finding that everything lined up, and the reasoning was also plausible. Compared to harboring three wanted criminals, Felix keeping a friend’s secret also seed more aligned for clearing things up.
More importantly, the person in front of him couldn’t possibly be lying about this matter.
She is a Viscount blessed by the Stars Blessing; it would be impossible for her to conspire with Felix to shield a few wanted criminals. No matter how nobles exploit loopholes, they can’t touch any criminal bottom line.
There was no need to doubt even the source of the bodies—which were surely obtained through non-criminal ans even though it was unclear how she exploited the loophole.
So...
Demi suddenly felt his face flush with heat, wishing he could transform into a beam of light and fly away. anwhile, the dark blue-haired girl pointed to the sword planted in the ground and asked, "Why did you stick your sword in the ground, were you planning to spar?"
"He suspected that the coffin belonged to the wanted Necromancer and thought I was hiding a criminal, so he ca to persuade to surrender," Felix said faintly. "Miss Lena, you almost got jailed."
"Sorry, sorry," the dark blue-haired girl put her hands together in apology. "I didn’t think it would cause such a misunderstanding... Demi, little Filly did this all to help . If it affects her reputation, you can tell everyone it was my fault. Please don’t harm her."
"Of course." Demi left awkwardly, "I’ll explain to others that it was all a misunderstanding."
"Thank you."
As Demi pushed open the door to leave, he suddenly turned back and said, "Felix, I wronged you this ti, I’m sorry."
"It’s alright," Felix said calmly. "Just don’t co and bother in the future."
"I know you dislike Vosloda, but no matter who you are, you’re still my family," Demi said seriously. "I’ll protect my family."
Felix initially wanted to retort but then couldn’t be bothered, replying blandly, "I can already protect myself."
As Demi closed the door and left, the atmosphere in the villa imdiately relaxed.
The dark blue-haired girl opened the fridge and took out a bottle of cold water, smiling, "Aren’t you going to introduce the other little friend to ?"
"Sonia," Felix called out, "co down; Miss Lena is trustworthy."
The Paw-Paw Sword Saint slowly walked down the stairs, staring intently at the dark blue-haired girl. Her eyes seed to glow, as if she wanted to rush over but dared not.
She took a deep breath and surprisingly stamred a bit when she spoke, "I-I’m Sonia Sevi."
The dark blue-haired girl smiled, "Nice to et you. I’ve heard great things about you. You’re much prettier than on the Light Screen."
"No way!" The village girl seed like a lucky child favored by the gods, her face filled with excited joy. "You’re the one who’s much prettier than you are in the movies—you’re so slender."
"I thought we’d et sooner, but you turned down that collaboration invitation."
"There were reasons for that, Miss Dedarose."
Sonia said excitedly, "I’ve always, always been looking forward to working with you. You’re my idol!"
Indeed, the woman with dark blue hair before her was the legendary Shadow Actress, the top Songstress of the Dazzling Star, the dream lover of countless n, and the envy of countless won, Dedarose Lena!
She wasn’t just the inspiration driving Sonia out of her small, remote town, but also the brightest mory in the village girl’s childhood!
"It’s my honor," Dedarose smiled. "By the way, where are the people you’re hiding? I’d like to see them."
"They’re upstairs," Sonia led them up. Just now, Dedarose covered for them with her reputation. The Paw-Paw Sword Saint naturally couldn’t doubt the Legendary Songstress’ goodwill. "By the way, are you close to Felix?"
Dedarose tousled Felix’s hair. "I do have a good relationship with little Filly."
"So you’re willing to lie to cover for Felix?"
"Not exactly."
By this ti, they reached the second-floor bedroom. Harvey and Igula were casually set aside, only Ash placed on the bed. Dedarose rely glanced at the Necromancer and the Swindler, her gaze firmly fixed on the Cult Leader’s sleeping face.
Her eyes glead with a strange light, unable to resist reaching out: "Is that... him..."
Smack!
Sonia tightly grabbed Dedarose’s wrist and tilted her head, asking, "He is my lover, Ash Heath. Do you know him?"
"Of course I do," Dedarose smiled. "And I might even know him better than you."
The Sword Maiden’s smile gradually faded, slightly arching her brow: "Oh?"
The Legendary Songstress blinked, "By the way, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself yet. Please forgive my rudeness."
"Leader of the Four Pillars God Sect, Dazzling Star’s Sensation ’Chaos Songstress’ Dedarose Lena," Dedarose slowly pried open Sonia’s fingers, one by one, "I co by the oracle of the Gods of Four Pillars, to bring back the ’Final Observer’ Ash Heath."
