rlin and Luna walked together toward the building where Margaret lived.
When they arrived on the fourth floor, Margaret was sitting on the sofa, sipping a cup of tea.
As if sensing their presence, she opened her eyes and looked at rlin with joy.
However, when her gaze shifted to Luna beside him, her expression imdiately turned sour.
"You’re finally here, rlin," she said as she stood up. "I thought you weren’t coming."
rlin smiled faintly. "Of course I ca."
Margaret seed satisfied with his answer, then glanced at Luna with a playful look.
"So, you’re Luna Tharot? I didn’t expect you to co. Am I interrupting your ti together?" she asked in a slightly teasing tone.
Luna narrowed her eyes, remaining alert. This was her first ti eting Margaret.
She had to admit, the girl was truly beautiful. Her long, wavy golden hair made her stand out effortlessly.
The aura of a noble young lady radiated from her. It was as if money held no value in her eyes.
It had to be said that Luna had finally t a worthy opponent in her battle for rlin.
Maintaining her composure, she smiled faintly and replied casually, "Yes, I’m Luna Tharot. You must be Margaret Beethoven, right? Nice to et you."
She extended her right hand.
Margaret glanced at her hand briefly before accepting the handshake. Their hands t, but their eyes burned with hostility.
This was not a simple introduction—it was a declaration of war.
rlin watched the scene with a helpless expression.
’These two girls really have quite the fighting spirit,’ he whispered with a soft chuckle.
He didn’t mind their rivalry. As long as it stayed within reasonable limits and neither of them got hurt, he was fine with it.
They didn’t really know each other yet. Maybe by competing like this, they might actually grow closer.
"By the way, why did you call here? Is there sothing important you want to discuss?" rlin asked curiously.
He walked over to the sofa and sat down. Luna followed and took a seat beside him.
A servant moved to the corner of the room to prepare tea for them, while Margaret sat across from the two of them.
"Actually, it’s nothing too important. I just want to invite you to watch the test that’s currently underway. Are you interested?" Margaret asked, a playful glint in her eyes.
rlin and Luna were slightly surprised and exchanged glances.
"Watch the entrance test for prospective students?" rlin murmured, rubbing his chin.
He actually wanted to go. After all, Linda had asked him to keep an eye on Liora.
But he had already planned to spend ti with Luna. It would be a sha to cancel it just like that.
After making his decision, he looked up and shook his head.
"Sorry, I won’t be watching the test. I want to go with Luna," rlin said firmly, clasping Luna’s left hand tightly.
Luna couldn’t hold back her smile. She raised her eyebrows as if to say, See? rlin prefers over you.
The cup in Margaret’s hand froze midair. The corners of her lips twitched as irritation and jealousy surged within her.
But she quickly composed herself and took a sip of her tea.
"I understand. It’s fine. But I just want to tell you—if you miss it, you’ll definitely regret it," Margaret said casually.
"Regret it?" rlin frowned. "What do you an?"
"Well, actually, I have news you won’t believe, rlin." Margaret smiled mysteriously. "Did you know? One of the participants in this test is... your sister, Catrine Clay."
Hearing this, rlin’s eyes widened. His breathing grew uneven, and his heart began to pound.
"Catrine... you said? Is that true?" he asked eagerly.
Margaret nodded with confidence. "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
rlin fell silent for a mont, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Then I believe you."
He turned to Luna and spoke gently, "Luna, can we postpone our date? I promise we’ll spend the whole day together tomorrow. How about it?"
His violet eyes shimred with hope.
Luna showed no disappointnt or anger. Instead, she smiled softly. "Okay, I understand. Let’s watch the test."
Coincidentally, she was curious about rlin’s younger sister and truly wanted to et her.
After all, Catrine had disappeared and never returned, so she had never t her—not even once.
Aunt Livia had also ntioned that if her engagent to rlin were ever called off, Catrine would beco his next fiancée.
Fortunately, she and rlin had been sent back in ti, so the broken relationship between them had disappeared and been replaced with a romantic one.
Still, she couldn’t lower her guard. A girl who had grown up with rlin was clearly a threat to her—far more threatening than Margaret.
"Good. I knew you would agree," Margaret said enthusiastically.
She had expected rlin to refuse. She also knew he and Luna had a date planned for later that afternoon.
That was why she had deliberately called him here and ntioned Catrine, ensuring their date would be ruined.
If rlin knew what she was thinking, he would probably sigh deeply and say in annoyance, "Your plan is perfect."
"Well then, let’s watch the test. How are we going to do that?" rlin asked impatiently.
He hadn’t seen Catrine in a long ti. Of course, he had been monitoring her progress over the past two years through the epic-level cara artifact he had obtained back then.
Even so, he still missed his little sister and wanted to see her in person.
"I’ve prepared the device. Co with ," Margaret replied as she stood up.
rlin was slightly confused but followed her lead. Together with Luna, he went down the stairs and stopped in front of a door on the third floor.
When Margaret opened the door, the sight inside imdiately caught rlin and Luna’s attention.
It was not a large room, but it was neatly arranged. A holographic screen stretched out before them.
"This... is a monitoring room?" rlin muttered.
Although the world of The Lost Hero had a dieval the, the field of magic was actually highly advanced.
Several modern-like devices already existed here, but they did not use electricity—only magic.
Even so, their functions were the sa. One of them was the screen in front of them, similar to a monitor in the modern world.
The difference was that it used magic to project a stunning holographic display.
"Wait a minute... are we going to use this screen to monitor the test? Isn’t that forbidden?"
rlin quickly realized this and looked at Margaret with hesitation.
As far as he rembered, monitoring the test like this was not allowed. The rules were clearly written on the tablet in the room.
"Hehehe..." Margaret let out a sly laugh, placing her index finger against her lips. "It is forbidden—but only for other students. The rule doesn’t apply to ."
rlin: "..."
Luna: "..."
