A few months have passed, and it was almost the end of the year, and the hunting season will begin in a few days as they welco the winter.
And as always, as one of the representatives, Evelyn was inside the eting room opposite to the headmaster's office. She's the spokesperson of the freshn, while Allan is also present as he was the sophomore representative. The other student's who held a position inside the school were also here.
Adley the second Prince and Ishid, his attendant is here.
The Crown Prince Edickart and Cabel was also here as the Elite Force representative as they are the President and vice-president of the whole school.
They listen to the headmaster, Carsillion on how things will be done as to abide the rules for the upcoming event of hunting contest will comnce.
"First, we will have guests as per the customs. Families from different Kingdoms will co to our school to witness the event. It was also to encourage the young students to do their best while in the presence of their family." Carsillion said as he looked at the long table.
"Yes, headmaster!" Edickart responded while everyone nodded in agreent.
"I'll be gone for a few days, I'll co back the day of the hunting, so I'll assign his highness and Sir Cabel to lead this event. That's all, you're dismissed." The headmaster said, as he waved her hand to shooed them.
Before everyone gets out. He called for Evelyn's na.
"Lady Evelyn, can you stay for a bit?" he continued as he garners the attention of the others.
"Sure, headmaster." She replied and ca back to sit at the sofa across from his office. Cabel, and the Crown Prince glanced at her before they stepped outside the door of the headmaster's office.
His secretary imdiately made refreshnt after the others went outside.
"Tea? Lady Evelyn?" he asked, which made Evelyn nod.
"Thank you"
He nodded in response before he went outside to make so room for the two.
"So, what do you need from this Lady?" she asked as she got the tea from the saucer.
'Jasmine tea~ lovely sll' she thought before she sipped the hot tea.
"You're so cold~ you won't greet you uncle?" he asked. Pouting.
Carsillion stood up from his desk and went to where Evelyn is.
"I'm feeling like sothing like this happened before. Ohh Deja vu." He said as he sat across from Evelyn.
"Stop talking nonsense. We had our talk here last week. So, what do you want this ti?" she said.
Evelyn had a conversation the other day with the headmaster, it's not that important, just so relatives talk. And discussing what's happening in the Duchy.
Not important, at all. For Evelyn that is.
"My Niece, I'm just concerned as I saw you with Prince Adley, lately. He may look like a lamb but he's a wolf that will not hesitate to kill with his fangs." He said as he looked at Evelyn nonchalantly sipping the tea.
"Is that so I understand." She replied half-heartedly.
He sighs "Can you take this seriously?" he asked.
"I. AM. Taking this seriously. I'm playing with what the kid wants~ see how nice I am?" she replied while she thought about the face of Prince Adley beaming with the assurance that he wraps Evelyn in his palms.
"So, you knew what his doing that?"
She raised her brow when she heard the astonished tone of his uncle.
"What do you take for? I'm not an idiot! It's all plastered in his face that he was scheming, do you think I would fall for it?" she responds with her voice a little annoyed.
'What do these people think?! If not for the complicated life of the nobles I would have punched every one's face! Seriously!'
"Easy, Child. You can have your little revenge later." Gil said.
'Damn right! Just you guys wait! I'll kick everyone's balls!' she said to Gil with determination.
" Evelyn?" Carsillion called her, cutting her silly thoughts.
"What is it?" she asked, not minding his knit brows.
"I'm going out because I need to inquire about your mana leaking wait! Did you even hear ?" he asked as he saw Evelyn's dozing off with his explanation.
She sighs. "I told you, I'll handle it myself! You don't need to waste your ti." She said as she covers her mouth before she yawns.
"If that's all you need, I'm going back to take my nap" she continued, she raised herself to stand up when she saw Carsillion's eyes glow dangerously.
'Haa Why do I need to always talk with people who are short tempered!' she complained as he looked at her.
"I'm telling you that you don't need to concern yourself with that problem. Just continue being the hidden uncle that you always have done." She said that made the atmosphere dense with a fierce aura.
'This retard! The hell?! Why is he releasing his aura!
"Evelyn! Sit down. I'm not done talking!" Carsilliion said. His voice was low, and his face was dangerously gloomy.
She clicked her tongue.
"Fine!" she plopped down on the soft sofa with a thud.
"Stop unleashing your aura! Do you want to die?!" she continued as the aura was still lingering in the four walls, making the room colder.
He also clicked his tongue before dismissing his aura.
She can now breathe. 'That was close!' she thought as her hands trembled in shiver.
'This man is too powerful!'
When her mind is calm again, she hides her emotions and keeps a faade of braveness.
"I told you that I'll help you!" he said, his tone is still low.
'He's still angry?' she thought.
"Fine, do whatever you want. It's not like I don't want your help, okay?!" she said before she thinks that he'll get angry again.
"then what?" he asked.
"I have a plan of my own, but" she sighs and tries to think through the advantage that she will get.
'If he can find a solution, then I guess I don't need to leave but I need to find Cassandra.' She thought before she surrendered thinking too deeply.
There's no point in denying soone's help. Yup! Fine. Accepting help will make this faster.
She stares at him.
"Then, it can be helped if you want to do it then do it. You actually don't need my permission, right? I know you'll do it even though I'm not aware of your decision. So, why are you telling this? You need so kind of exchange?" she thought.
She was still doubtful to this guy who claid that he was his uncle. She didn't know his purpose, though he believed that he was a relative, his familial duty isn't needed right now. That's what she thinks.
He grits his teeth when he thinks what she thought of him.
"So, you think I'm doing this to have you in debt?" he said. Still looking at Evelyn.
"You're not thinking that I will believe soone who claims to be my mother's brother and just popped out to tell that he is my uncle and then accept his kindness Am I right?" she explained.
"I have lived with a household who treats their own family like so kind of bug You won't tell to believe you just because you're a "family" that I was not aware of Right? I don't believe in familial love you see" she sipped her now warm tea before she blinked her eyes and stared at him.
"I only believe in gains and losses, advantage and disadvantage, profit and nonprofit, benefits and such so tell , headmaster, AM I WRONG TO THINK LIKE THIS?" she said pronouncing every word with emphasis.
"I don't need your pity if that's what you're feeling towards If you genuinely want to help, then I guess I'll accept it. I'm also pressed in ti but oh well we are finished here, right?" she asked.
The speechless Carsillion was looking at her niece who has no faith whatsoever to the world he can't imagine how she lived these past years to have this big of trust issues.
He sighs.
"You're giving so much headache how and when did you beco like this?!" he asked.
"I rember you were a cheerful child"
"Headmaster!" she interrupted. Her cold voice echoed through the office.
"I don't like it when soone brings out how I am before. That girl died along with her mories so, don't tell how much I changed" she said.
She was actually uncomfortable to hear how Carsillion was talking like they were close. She doesn't like it!
'If he knows , then he should have visited the estate and make the old feel a little cherished! I don't like this!' she thought. Gripping her skirt.
" You're asking why I beco like this? Fine. I'll tell you!" she said whereas Carsillion flinched at how her niece can emit fierce aura even though she was in her weakened state.
