Seven Sins System Chapter 508. Silent Rivalry

Seven Sins System Chapter 508. Silent Rivalry

After that incident, Penelope and Katrina never ca to the infirmary again to deliver my schedule. I wasn’t sure if it was by their choice or if soone else pulled the strings, but honestly? It was a relief.

Now, it was Red who took on the task, marching in every morning with that cheerful smile, a bit too pleased with herself. Each visit was more than just a schedule drop-off, it was her way of claiming her space in my day. She’d bring news of her investigation, updates on the academy, and anything else she felt I should know.

And, well… she took advantage of the private ti too, diving into things that… sothing far less official.

Red was a pro, flipping between roles like it was second nature. With everyone else, she was the icy, untouchable academy owner, strict, professional, a figure of authority who rarely showed a hint of weakness.

But with ? She was still the sa teenager I’d left behind centuries ago. She let down her guard, acting a bit childish, a bit reckless, sotis petulant even, as if she were making up for all the years we hadn’t spent together.

She’d laugh at things that weren’t funny, poke at until I gave her so attention, or sit on my lap like she owned the place. It was… amusing, and admittedly, a comfort I hadn’t expected to find in this strange new era.

But while Red’s visits were good for my mood, they weren’t exactly without consequences.

Puriel, for one, had taken notice, though she tried to hide it behind that stoic mask of hers. I could see the jealousy in her eyes, though, festering and growing with each day Red strolled in, laughing and flirting in a way that Puriel simply… didn’t.

Sotis, Puriel would avoid altogether when Red was around, saying she had other things to attend to, leaving with just a fleeting look of disappointnt as she walked away.

Other tis, she’d stay, pointedly ignoring the two of us, her gaze fixed on a book as if she couldn’t care less about Red practically curled up in my lap. She was quiet, dignified, but even then, the tension like a storm about to break. I was stuck between them, unable to bridge the gap, unable to fully understand where I stood with either of them.

Red was my servant, a loyal companion since centuries ago. She’d been with through blood and battle, loyal to the end.

Puriel… well, she was a different matter. Our bond was sothing else, sothing undefined.

She was, in so sense, my fiancée. But there was no denying the fact that her relationship with was vastly different from the easy, almost playful intimacy I shared with Red. And the two of them weren’t about to make it easy for to ignore their silent rivalry.

As if that wasn’t enough, the other threats in my life had, for now, gone silent.

The demons, the angels, they hadn’t made a move since the last attack, and things had been quiet, almost too quiet. It felt like the calm before the storm, but with everything else going on, I could only wait and watch, biding my ti until the next clash.

The investigation was also supposed to kick off next week, giving little breathing room before the academy’s upcoming mission. For now, though, all I could do was prepare for the weekend, which promised to be the busiest one yet.

Red had been planning a dinner with her family, but with everything else on my schedule, I asked her to speed things up. I needed to attend Asmo’s birthday, a chaotic event at best, and I was almost certain that it would leave in no mood for formalities afterward.

I didn’t want to arrive at dinner with the effects of whatever chaos Asmo’s celebration would bring, so it was better to handle things now.

Finally, the night arrived, and here I was, standing in front of the mansion gate. I’d gone with a semi-formal suit, neat, sharp, but nothing over the top. After all, mortal standards were different. They didn’t expect the extravagant robes or heavy armor like in my realm, and I preferred to blend in, at least sowhat.

I adjusted my cuffs, taking in the quiet elegance of the mansion before , appreciating the architecture in a detached way.

Red’s ho was impressive, a blend of modern design and tiless architecture, sprawling across this massive estate like so fortress from old.

There was no car, no entourage. When I can simply open a portal and step through, what’s the point of riding around in a tal box? So, here I was, appearing right at her gate, the cool night air settling around as I took a deep breath. ‘Alright. Ti to make an entrance.’

I pressed the bell, and a voice crackled through the intercom. “Good evening,” they said, crisp and polite, with that careful tone reserved for distinguished guests.

I leaned in a bit, speaking clearly. “My na is Dr. Allen, and I’m here to et Re—” I caught myself, pausing awkwardly. “…Mrs. Elara.” Damn it. Her na slipped out of my mouth instinctively. Old habits die hard, I guess. After all, Red was just… Red. I wasn’t used to addressing her by anything else, and certainly not sothing as formal as “Mrs. Elara.”

There was a short pause, and then the voice from the intercom replied, “We will open the door for you, sir.”

With a quiet click, the large iron gate swung open, and I stepped inside, the path ahead flanked by tall hedges and soft lights illuminating the way.

But as I looked out, I noticed just how huge the yard was. It stretched on and on, vast and empty, with just a sprinkling of manicured gardens here and there. My brow furrowed in irritation, this was far more distance than I wanted to walk. Seriously, what prince would actually trudge all the way up a mile-long driveway?
