Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess! Chapter 448 : The Clouds Scatter

"Brother Felyn, does your wrist hurt? Let put a healing sigil on it for you."

Dorothy took out a high-grade healing sigil from the cabinet.

The princess's bedroom had a sigil device that could heal automatically, but using it would leave a record, which would be very troubleso if discovered by others.

"Dorothy, shouldn't you unlock my handcuffs first?" Felyn struggled a couple of tis, and the handcuffs made a crisp clanking sound.

"No way, Brother Felyn. You look so cute right now, Dorothy can't bear to."

"? Cute now?"

"Mhm!" Dorothy nodded, placing the healing sigil on Felyn's wrist. "Brother Felyn, if you're willing, Dorothy wants to be cuffed together with you."

"No, I'm not willing."

Dorothy muttered what a pity, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Felyn's forehead.

He had broken out in a sweat from the scare just now.

She knelt beside Felyn, carefully and attentively wiping his forehead.

"Brother Felyn."

"Hm?"

"Have you fallen in love with now?"

"Not yet."

A mont later.

"Brother Felyn, what about now?"

"No!"

"Ah~, you still haven't fallen for . I feel like I'll have to wait for a long, long ti." Dorothy pouted, looking at her Felyn.

"But since it's Brother Felyn, Dorothy is willing to wait no matter how long it takes. I'll wait until Brother Felyn likes ."

Felyn tugged at the handcuffs, "Then you have to at least unlock the handcuffs before you start trying to win over! Who cuffs soone up like this?"

Dorothy humd lightly, taking one last look at the cuffed Felyn.

The key was inserted into the handcuffs, and Felyn finally felt the sweet taste of freedom.

He rubbed his wrists and pulled up his pants.

"Brother Felyn, have you fallen in love with now?" She gently tugged at her underwear, making the cleavage on her chest a little more obvious.

At this mont, she was kneeling on the floor, her eyes becoming very hazy.

The faint glimpse of her chest and her slender, perfect waist were extrely tempting.

Her red lips were slightly parted, with an alluring silver thread.

"Dorothy, you don't really need to seduce with your body, do you?"

"My body has always belonged to Brother Felyn. I'm just putting it in a nice pose. It can't be called seduction," she argued.

Felyn placed his hand on Dorothy's forehead and pushed her away.

Dorothy sat on the floor like a duck, looking at Felyn, her purple eyes overflowing with dissatisfaction like water.

Looking at the aggrieved Dorothy, Felyn suddenly felt that there was no way to deal with her.

With ordinary girls, as long as he was a little more serious, said he didn't like them, or acted a little colder, they would tactfully stay away from him.

But Dorothy...

As long as he showed a hint of coldness or resistance, Dorothy would advance instead of retreating, and the gleaming handcuffs would be clutched in her hand.

"Brother Felyn, I'll find you so clothes to wear." She got up from the floor and went to the wardrobe. "I originally wanted to hide Brother Felyn in my bedroom for a lifeti, so I secretly had a lot of clothes made for Brother Felyn."

She casually said things that frightened Felyn, and handed him an evening gown.

Dorothy had secretly noted down his asurents while he was asleep during the contract period and had a tailor in the royal capital make it.

"There aren't any tricks in this, are there? Like, it'll automatically tie up when I put it on." Felyn took Dorothy's clothes with so fear and examined them carefully under the candlelight.

"Eh?" Dorothy moved closer to Felyn, her eyes shining, "So there's such a thing?"

Felyn didn't dare to speak anymore, afraid of stimulating Dorothy's imagination.

The clothes fit well, and the fabric and craftsmanship were very exquisite.

Compared to the clothes he bought from second-hand stores, they were much, much better.

Dorothy collected the fragnts of Felyn's old clothes and put them in a pocket.

Her communication sigil began to vibrate at this mont. Sylvain was starting to ask about Dorothy and Felyn's whereabouts.

It was ti to go back.

Brother Felyn still needed to greet the other divine teachers and couldn't be trapped here.

"By the way, Brother Felyn, this is for you." She handed Felyn a transfer sigil. "Brother Felyn, use this to go back first. I still need to tidy up the bedroom."

Felyn specifically checked the sigil to avoid the destination being a dungeon.

Was Dorothy just letting him go like this?

Felyn found it a little hard to believe.

"Dorothy, are... are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Brother Felyn. I'm all better, see." She showed Felyn the dimples on her face, as if everything that had just happened had never occurred.

"But Dorothy..."

Dorothy didn't let Felyn finish. She quickly took a step forward, activated the sigil for him, and cut his words short once again.

The sigil activated.

Only Dorothy was left in the bedroom.

In the empty bedroom, only the candlelight was still flickering lonely.

After Felyn's figure disappeared, the smile Dorothy had been forcing finally couldn't hold and shattered.

Her legs suddenly lost their strength, and she fell to the floor with a thud.

"Brother Felyn..."

The trembling call dissipated into the silent air. She curled up on the cold floor, her fingers unconsciously clutching her chest, as if that could alleviate the sharp pain coming from her heart.

She knew that the Felyn of the past was false, that the promises Felyn made not to leave her were only said because of the contract.

How could this not break Dorothy's heart.

She just didn't want to continue showing this sad expression in front of Felyn.

Dorothy supported herself with her hands on the ground, dragging her hair scattered on the floor, and slowly crawled to the side of the bed.

This was the place where Felyn most often stayed with her.

mories of the past fell on Dorothy's heart like silver needles.

She hugged her body tightly, a fragnt of Felyn's clothes clutched in her palm.

Dorothy didn't cry. Her tears had already run dry tonight.

"My... Brother Felyn..."

The rain stopped.

The dark clouds scattered.

The world after the rain was refreshed.

A stream ford by the moonlight flowed on the ground, soaking Dorothy's ankles.

Dorothy did not attend the banquet tonight.

She sat by the bed until dawn.

mories of the past constantly surfaced in Dorothy's mind. Every smile, every action, every promise of Felyn's, surfaced in her heart for the last ti.

She tore the mories of the past from herself, even though it was very painful.

But, but it was for Felyn.

Felyn said that the past him was a false him.

Although Dorothy didn't care, she knew Felyn cared a lot.

Then... then she would just fall in love with Felyn all over again.

Then she would just let Felyn fall in love with her from now on.

It wasn't until the dawn appeared that Dorothy slowly raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

Wearing only her underwear, her skirt only pulled down to her waist.

Her ssy hair covered her face, and her purple eyes had lost their usual vitality.

"It's a good thing Brother Felyn didn't see this scene," she murmured to herself.

Dorothy struggled to get up and lay on the bed.

She hugged her doll tightly, hoping that everything last night was a dream.

Hoping that when she opened her eyes, Felyn would still be gently by her side, saying that he would never leave her for a lifeti.

Even if it was a lie, she was willing to listen.

"But, at least I'm not the sa Dorothy I was before."

Dorothy's gaze once again turned to the window.

Now, her own strength had surpassed most of the royal family due to her magical power, and she had been cultivating her own power all these years.

She was no longer the weak Dorothy of the past, no longer the Dorothy who could be bullied at will.

This ti, she had the ability to pursue the Felyn she liked.

And all of this, Dorothy felt, was thanks to Felyn.

Without him, Dorothy would not have had the motivation to continue living, let alone develop her own power.

"Brother Felyn..."

Dorothy was too tired. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

She didn't dream.

She felt like she had only slept for a mont when a knock ca from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you in there?"

Dorothy sat up from the bed, her eyes barely able to open.

She sat on the bed in a daze, listening to the voice outside the door, as if that voice was not calling her.

"Veranoica, what's wrong?" She looked out the window. The sun was high in the sky; it was already afternoon.

"Your Highness, there is sothing very important. Felyn went to test his divine affinity today."

Testing divine affinity, also known as Divine Revelation (Shenqi), was a necessary step for admission in the royal capital.

The royal capital district would determine which religious order the person being tested was most suited for, and then assign them to the academy of the most compatible order.

"Is that so... what was the result?" Dorothy rubbed her eyes. Hearing Felyn's na gave her a little bit of energy.

The last ti Felyn ca to the royal capital district, Dorothy knew that Felyn's Divine Revelation (Shenqi) result was 0.

She had transferred magical power to him twice, so maybe the result would be a little higher now, but not by much.

"Your Highness, can... can you let in to talk?"

"Hm? Oh right, okay."

Dorothy thought Veranoica was afraid of saying Felyn's affinity was 0 in the hallway, which would embarrass Felyn, so she got dressed, slowly got up, and opened the door to let her in.

"Your Highness, last night..." Veranoica looked at Dorothy's swollen eyes from crying and the ss on the floor.

But none of that mattered anymore!

"Your Highness, Felyn... he might be an illegitimate son of the royal family!"

Dorothy tilted her head slightly, forgetting to even make an expression.

Almost a full minute passed before Dorothy reacted to what Veranoica had said.

She placed her hands on Veranoica's shoulders, her lips beginning to tremble.

"What... what did you say?!"

Oh no, calling him Brother Felyn, Brother Felyn every day, did he really beco my brother?!

"Felyn... during his Divine Revelation (Shenqi), it was detected that he has royal characteristics in his body, so... so he should be a mber of the royal family."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

and Brother Felyn... could we be biological siblings?!

"Veranoica, take there!”
