Chapter 204 - 137: Prey Targeted by the Incubus, It’s Not So Easy to Break Free (10.2K, 60/65)_6

He didn’t want Elanna to come out and see his face as red as a monkey’s butt; that would be embarrassing.

Kael didn’t realize that while he mocked his own actions as more childish than a kindergarten student, he hadn’t thought about love and romance, which are indeed more naive than kindergarten yet more mature than university students.

He soon heard noises coming from downstairs.

Without even lifting his head, his keen sense allowed him to detect people on the upper floors discreetly watching him.

"Female students from the Knight Academy?"

Kael knew very well that the girls’ dormitory was always buzzing with gossip. A prodigy like Elanna, once discovered, would undoubtedly attract onlookers wherever the courting male showed up. People would stealthily hide in corners, chattering like sparrows.

It was just a role reversal from him watching others to others watching him.

In both his previous and current lives, he had enough confidence to stand before women without embarrassing them.

The truth was indeed so. Dressed in a white mage robe, with smooth long hair and delicate features, leaning lazily against the wall, he occasionally drew curious glances from passing girls.

He even sensed from afar a few girls gathered and whispering among themselves. One particularly bashful girl, encouraged by her friends, occasionally cast curious and timid glances at Kael, ready to make a move.

Just as he was about to take action, a tipsy voice suddenly called out:

"Hey, isn’t this Lancaster’s incubus little lord? What brings you to this crummy school today?"

Kael instinctively looked up in the direction of the voice.

Elanna’s teacher, Olivia, was walking over with a bottle of alcohol in hand.

Walking and taking swigs from the bottle, she noticed Kael and waved.

Perhaps the students’ innate fear of their teacher made those girls instinctively avert their eyes and quietly slip away when they saw Olivia approaching.

"You, handsome people have privileges. Just standing here draws so much attention from girls. It’s a pity that my student has her eyes on someone so easily admired by others."

Olivia took another swig from her bottle while talking.

Kael frowned. He didn’t particularly like drunks, especially the overwhelming smell of alcohol, which he found hard to tolerate.

Noticing Kael’s quickly subdued expression of distaste, Olivia irritably took another gulp, finishing the bottle.

With a rush of hot air, the smell of alcohol vanished from her. Olivia, her hair a little disheveled, scratched her head in annoyance and said: Explore stories at empire

"I’m really envious of you young people, not knowing the taste of alcohol. It’s a wonderful thing that can wash away a hundred worries. Being in a drunken haze is great, not having to deal with life’s troubles."

Seeing that the smell of alcohol had indeed vanished from Olivia, Kael breathed a sigh of relief and helplessly said:

"Everyone has different views on alcohol, Olivia. Whether you like it or not, as long as it doesn’t affect others, it’s all okay.

But if you don’t communicate about real-life problems, they’ll always be there. In the end, nothing changes, and you’ll miss every chance to solve them."

"Smart kid!"

Olivia laughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "I know that too, but whether those problems get solved or not doesn’t matter. They aren’t big issues anyway."

Even though she had dispelled the alcohol from her system, she still seemed a bit dazed, standing there and saying:

"But you, you’re certainly the man my student adores. You’ve grown faster than I imagined. Back in my day, you would have attracted countless girls."

"I’ll take that as a compliment from you, teacher."

What else could Kael say?

That was all Kael could say!

Soon, his attention turned to the expressions of the students who feared Olivia like a tiger. He laughed and said:

"It looks like your reputation in the academy is quite formidable, Olivia. Those students are too scared to approach now."

"Isn’t that great? At least until my student comes down, you won’t have to worry about being disturbed. Or do you actually want to be bothered by those girls?"

Olivia said, shaking her bottle.

Kael calmly replied, "On the contrary, you’ve been a great help to me!"

"Glad to hear that. Well, I won’t stay longer. Elanna will be down soon."

She shook the bottle, glanced at the remaining alcohol inside, then looked towards the stairwell before turning to leave.

Watching her departure, Kael suddenly felt that this woman had purposely come over to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

But he felt it was a bit far-fetched since he wouldn’t really do anything improper.

"I say..."

Just as he was thinking this, Elanna stood on the back stairway, suddenly covering Kael’s eyes from behind.

Kael wasn’t startled, having already heard Elanna’s familiar footsteps approaching.

"Now guess, raise your hand and see what this is."

The girl’s somewhat stiff voice sounded.

Kael didn’t resist, slightly raising his hand and soon felt the warmth of Elanna’s other hand.

"Hmm, it’s slender and warm. Holding it makes one feel happy. I guess it’s my fiancée’s hand."

Kael’s teasing made the girl behind him cheerfully and shyly mutter:

"Hurry up, guess seriously. I prepared for a long time!"

"It’s cold, hard, and prickly. Honestly, if I had to guess, I wouldn’t know... Okay, don’t be mad. Let me guess; is it a magic weapon?"

"You got it!"

Elanna released her hand, spun around, and placed a short knife in Kael’s palm.

Kael looked at the short knife in his hand with surprise and turned to Elanna, saying, "You must have worked hard to gather the materials to make this."

"It wasn’t much, really!"

Elanna smiled and said, "You also put a lot of thought into the knight clothes you gave me, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you won’t accept it. Give and take, that’s what a normal relationship is like, isn’t it?"
