Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess! Chapter 12 : Change of Plans

Felyn sat on the sofa and drained his wine glass in one gulp.

Adeline had sacrificed her cousin to secure so free ti.

Now he had no way to delay her any longer.

Although his first battle plan had failed, it was fine—he still had a second battle plan.

Young Lady Adeline was a simple-minded young lady who beca surprisingly easy to understand whenever the words "Viloti" were ntioned.

Felyn just needed to use Viloti's na in front of her to extract information about her plans for tonight.

Then he only needed to neutralize them one by one.

Adeline walked up to the third floor with elegant steps, her gaze imdiately locking onto that familiar figure.

Felyn was particularly dazzling today.

The deep blue formal suit made his figure appear upright, with golden subtle patterns flickering under the lights.

Adeline pursed her lips, suppressing the ripples rising in her heart.

He was wearing the sa deep blue as .

Did he want to secretly wear matching couple outfits with ?

He loves so much.

"Lady Adeline!"

Felyn greeted Adeline. He stood in the corner of the balcony, looking delighted.

"I feel like I haven't seen Lady Adeline for such a long ti. I'm really happy today."

The corners of Adeline's mouth lifted slightly as she blinked while looking Felyn up and down.

"You weren't hurt last ti, were you?"

"No, thanks to Lady Adeline's blessing, I only lost consciousness briefly and my body wasn't hard at all."

Hearing this, Adeline's gaze at Felyn beca sowhat evasive.

Her guards had only saved her.

Although Adeline herself hadn't reacted before being rescued by the guards, facts were facts.

"Viloti didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"No." Felyn showed a troubled expression, as if he had sothing hard to say.

It seed the two had spoken.

Adeline sat on the sofa and picked up the fruit tea a maid had brought, taking a large sip.

The official reason the Silafiel family gave Adeline was that due to the [Concealnt Seal] released by Adeline's guards, Viloti only saw a magical beast there without noticing there were people, then "accidentally" picked the wrong seal and released the seventh-order seal.

Would any idiot really believe such a reason?

Viloti's guards weren't useless either.

Besides, was a seventh-order seal such a casual thing?

Sothing worth ten million crowns that couldn't even be bought—used just because of a first-order magical beast?

Though she felt it lacked any rationality, Adeline's intuition told her Viloti had co for Felyn.

The reason was obviously simple.

Seeing that Felyn liked her now, Viloti regretted it and got angry.

Things were developing beyond expectations and becoming exciting.

She had not only stolen Viloti's loyal simp but also caused Viloti's emotions to fluctuate.

As long as she confird with Viloti later, she'd know exactly what Viloti was thinking.

"Lady Adeline, would you like to massage your calves? You must be tired from standing so long tonight." Felyn crouched in front of Adeline and asked sincerely.

"Massage my calves? But..."

"I understand, Lady Adeline."

Felyn slowly stood up, biting his lip with a hint of inferiority.

"That's not what I ant. Just massage them."

He gently lifted her calf. Through the white lace stockings, he could see her ankle was slightly red from wearing high heels for so long.

Adeline lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding her inner panic.

Felyn's technique was professional, but this distance still made Adeline's heart race.

Good thing this corner wouldn't be seen by others.

"Lady Adeline, you're really beautiful tonight. Miss Viloti would probably regret it if she saw you."

"Eh? Why?"

Adeline's heart jumped. Had Felyn discovered her plan too?

"Tonight's spotlight will probably be stolen by Lady Adeline's beauty."

"You can't say such things."

Though Adeline said this, she felt sowhat proud inside.

"I wonder what arrangents Lady Adeline has for tonight?"

Felyn said this casually without looking up.

"Of course, having you kiss in front of Viloti..."

Adeline suddenly realized she'd almost let sothing slip and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Her face instantly reddened to her ears, even her neck taking on a pinkish hue.

That was close—she'd almost been trapped into revealing everything.

"I'll tell you when the ti cos."

No matter what, Adeline couldn't voice her fantasies.

But if she didn't say it out loud, should she write a note for Felyn to read?

That would be even more embarrassing.

Adeline coughed lightly, her slender fingers anxiously twisting her skirt hem.

"Listen carefully. A few days ago my friend gave an idea that I want to try."

Felyn raised an eyebrow but showed no displeasure on his face.

Adeline looked around and noticed a cake that had just been delivered on the table.

"Cake."

She looked up and said only two words.

"Does Lady Adeline want to eat this cake?"

Felyn picked up the cake from the table, ca to Adeline's side, and quietly waited for her instructions.

"Feed ."

"Hm?"

Felyn froze in place, wondering if he'd heard wrong.

In the past, Adeline never let Felyn feed her in private, let alone now at a banquet.

"Feed ... the cake."

Adeline felt her face burning hot enough to catch fire, but she still forced herself to appear calm.

She was just rehearsing with Felyn first—otherwise how would he know how to perform in front of Viloti later?

What a bargain for Felyn!

Felyn used a silver fork to cut a small piece of cake.

"Lady Adeline, open your mouth."

His voice was impossibly gentle.

Adeline slightly opened her mouth, her eyelashes still trembling lightly.

Felyn carefully brought the cake to her lips, afraid of smudging her delicate makeup.

The cream lted in her mouth, but Adeline felt she couldn't taste anything.

All her attention was focused on Felyn, who was very close to her.

Felyn pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the cream from the corner of Adeline's mouth.

"Lady Adeline, do you want to feed you cake like this in front of Miss Viloti later?"

Adeline's heartbeat skipped. She sat stiffly in place, not expecting to be seen through so easily by Felyn.

"I'll complete any order from Lady Adeline. However, I'm starting to like Miss Viloti a bit now too."

"Hm?" Adeline looked at Felyn, very confused.

"Because of Miss Viloti, I have the chance to feed Lady Adeline."

Looking at Adeline's expression, Felyn knew her brain was about to overheat.

Adeline was clearly an innocent young lady—weak but playful.

Now he could properly extract information from her.

Though there had been a slight accident, things were proceeding smoothly overall.

?

Viloti's current expression was about equivalent to a "?".

She had asked the butler to place monitoring seals in every location throughout the castle.

From the mont she'd stepped into the castle, Viloti had seen Felyn.

She now watched the intimate pair in the footage, her expression still very cold.

"Miss Viloti, what are you looking for?"

Viloti searched through her bag while watching the screen.

"Where did my seventh-order seal go?"
