Chapter 188

"Don't worry - it's here. Even if my sister was a little careful and lied. But..."

"I'll show you around the area where you can come and go freely. It's no problem -"

There was no one around, so Feini showed a very girly, even...a little cute expression.

Now, Jupiter couldn't even hide.

There is even a feeling of "just emerging from the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den again".

No idea.

So, after.

Jupiter, like a robot, followed Finny and left Alicia's house.

Seemingly taking care of his identity and situation, Feini did not drag him to the "high-class places" in the palace area.

He just left the little princess's residence and walked along the nearby tree-lined avenues.

However, although it is said to be a tree-lined avenue, this palace area is by no means comparable to the aristocratic area near the Duke's Palace.

Perhaps the quiet and beautiful environment is similar. But on the roadside, in the flowerbeds and courtyards in the distance, there were well-dressed maids and attendants, watering the flowers and cleaning.

Even if it's just against Finny

At sight, they all bowed their luggage - thankfully it wasn't some kind of kneeling.

Moreover, it was unexpected by Jupiter, but it was reasonable. When the girls saw the eldest prince's gaze, they could not wait to get angry immediately.

In the setting of the original game, these maids and attendants in the imperial royal family are basically boys and girls from various noble families inside and outside the empire, excluding heirs and heir candidates.

Just like Jupiter himself has taken care of Sylphy since he was a child, the children of noble families with higher status will basically choose to enter the palace.

It is an experience and a broadening of horizons.

He is looking forward to finding an official position and a noble status, so that he can leave the family and build his own family.

I also had some thoughts of winning the lottery, looking forward to some "pie in the sky" things.

Only then did Jupiter realize why when he and the little princess Alicia came here just now, the male servants on the road looked at him and they wanted to kill him.

But now that he is following the "big prince", the little maids around him are eager to dance on the spot.

This kind of content that will definitely not appear in the original game has already made Jupiter feel sick to his stomach.

But Feini still wanted to ask a question as if it was a joke.

"Have you fallen in love with any maid? Can I be a matchmaker for you?"

Jupiter didn't even have the energy to make excuses.

"Headache."

"Huhu-"

Finny chuckled.

Then she seemed to realize that her behavior was a bit "girly", so she slightly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Then you'd better adapt here as soon as possible, because..."

"You'll get here sooner or later."

After saying that, he turned his face and looked at Jupiter, his gaze was so meaningful.

But before Jupiter had time to react, Fini had already looked away.

The afternoon sun has gradually lost its heat and turned red, waiting to fall.

"It's almost evening. Do you have any favorite ingredients? I'll ask the servant to prepare them-"

This time Jupiter simply held his stomach.

"Your Highness, do you think I can eat anything?"

A place like this simply makes him Alexander! I’m full just from drinking the northwest wind!

Dining with His Highness the Grand Prince under the gaze of servants?

Jupiter felt a stomachache just thinking about it.

Feeney didn't insist.

Nodding, he smiled softly and said: "It seems so. Then... let's have a cup of tea - we can't let the memory of you coming to the palace only make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Thank you very much."

Jupiter thanked him immediately: he really needed to sit down and have a drink to calm down.

However, I never noticed: the opportunity and excuse that could have been used to "get away"...

So the time for "afternoon tea" was wasted.

Afternoon tea was ready faster than he thought!

Fini just randomly found a maid on the side of the road and gave some instructions. By the time the two of them wandered to the next courtyard, the maids had already set up tables and chairs in the central open space and propped them up. Umbrella.

Immediately afterwards, a team of maids appeared with trolleys, bringing tea and water.

The moment they sat down, all preparations were completed and they retreated away. Not even Sylphy could receive such treatment.

The main focus is a Versailles.

Jupiter just felt uneasy: in the original game, the "villain" was not just the Duke's daughter Sylphy.

This villain lady is more like a stepping stone in the "common plot", the kind that any protagonist group can step on to upgrade.

After entering the "personal route" of each heroine who can be conquered, new "villains" will appear.

Take the story line of the "eldest prince" Fini and the route of the little princess Alicia. Although he didn't push this line much, he still saw it at the time.

The biggest obstacle for the two of them is the "princes and princesses" in the empire.

The original game is not a "demon hero", and the relationship between the villains is definitely not a cooperative relationship.

Rather, it was one of the reasons why Jupiter was very cautious and nervous after being brought to the palace area by Alicia - he was afraid that his identity as a "miscellaneous fish" would be discovered by the villains who only existed in individual plots.

At that time, if nothing was done and Sylphy was provoked by a few "elite monsters", then the gain would outweigh the loss.

However, the next moment.

Feini seemed to have discovered his little thoughts and picked up the teacup.

It seemed like it was a nonchalant, careless remark, but in fact... it accurately filled in the worries in Jupiter's heart.

.

"This is where Alicia and I live. There is no one else."

"Even servants are divided into factions in the palace, and there is basically no communication between servants serving different masters."

"Furthermore, if you whisper something in the palace or do something sneaky, the consequences... Huhu - it's pretty serious."

With a smile, but no warmth.

Feini glanced around, and the maids who were standing far away moved back even more.

In doing so, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are taking care of Jupiter's mood and situation.

However, before he could thank this "good brother", Feini's eyes fell on his face.

A strange line of sight began to wander.

Feeney put her chin on her hand and asked seemingly casually: "So, Jupiter, are you going to accept the title from my sister?"

Drinking tea to relax and calm down naturally has a corresponding topic.

Therefore, Jupiter didn't think too much, and just answered straightforwardly based on his feeling: "I haven't thought clearly."

He doesn't really value noble status, status, power or anything like that - he revolves around Sylphy anyway, so these things are of no use to him?

Just: Because of this, if these "vanity" can make his status as a bastard more "tough", and make it easier to protect Sylphy...

Just like the "benefits" Alicia mentioned when persuading her.

It can make him more "tough" when facing the people from Lucaria Academy!

He still had some expectations.

Therefore, at the moment when the topic was brought up by the eldest prince, Jupiter couldn't help but think about it.

He didn't notice for a moment: Feini in front of him had already put down the tea cup and was observing his every move calmly.

Even every subtle change in expression!

Moreover, at the moment when he hesitated, a whisper floated out "unintentionally".

"I did some research on what you encountered in the adventurer commission before."

Feini's gentle smile seemed to have raised a sharp sword! Suddenly it became cold and sharp!

However, it was not for Jupiter.

"It is true that there are things that go too far in the academy. No wonder my sister Alicia made such a decision about you."

"Since you are still hesitating, why not... come to my side?"

Jupiter was stunned and woke up from his random thoughts!

"What!?"

When he looked again, Feini had folded her hands and looked at him with a smile.

He was also offered an olive branch.

"I mean, if you want a noble title to rely on, why not let me confer it on you?"

Finny sat up slightly.

There was a hint of "competition" in the words.

"What Alicia can do for you, I can do the same."

"Even...better."

The eyes narrowed slightly, and they seemed to be bottomless inside.

"After all, Alicia is just the youngest princess in the empire. Although she has power, she has no foundation after all."

"But becoming my vassal... is completely different - at least there won't be any more unnecessary people in the academy who have unnecessary thoughts about you - Jupiter, classmate."

"Are you interested? Are you excited?"

"Why don't we go to the place where the titles are awarded?"

Jupiter didn't respond.

Because: To be fair, he was really "heartbeat" just now - wasn't his attitude towards one of the "protagonists" in the original game, the eldest prince Fenix, similar?

Even if he knew that the "eldest prince" was actually Feini disguised as a man, he still didn't waver.

Isn't it because Fini finally made a similar "invitation"?

Although knighthood is only the lowest noble class in the empire and cannot be hereditary. But what Jupiter values ​​about it is not at all the level of the title or inheritance!

Rather: the relationship with one of the "protagonists" Fini!

So what if the status is low? That is also "a vassal of His Highness the Prince."

With this level of identity, he felt: at least in the future Sylphy really did something big in the prince's route, he could also spirally slide and save Sylphy's next round with Finni.

Rounding it all off is a gold medal to avoid death!

However, just when he almost agreed, he immediately reacted!

"Thank you, eldest prince, for your kindness, but I currently... have no such thoughts."

reject immediately

Absolutely.

"I originally planned to reject Alicia."
