Chapter 349 - 168 Elanna: Not...Not Brother Qing (10K, 60/76)_4

"As a good boy of the new century, I do not condone gambling and drugs,"

"You didn’t mention the yellow letter at all!"

Clearly, some players had already started paying attention to Kael’s trip to the Orean Independent Kingdom.

...

Meanwhile, when Kael awoke, he realized it was already the next day,

Your next chapter is on NovelBin.Côm

When Hassaka woke him from his bed, he rubbed his eyes, went to wash up, and finally was ready to go outside.

Perhaps because of the influence of his original self, he hadn’t really explored the surroundings since his reincarnation.

This time, taking advantage of Elanna’s invitation, he finally planned to go out and see what was going on.

After all, he had been in this world for over a year and, while other realms mattered less, in the Duchy of England’s, much had happened due to his butterfly effect, greatly altering many things.

According to the original situation, both Elanna and he should have been dead by now, with information from a Federation Secret Agent being sent to the Royal Court.

The Charles family and Count Rezhe, the Clan Leader, should have been deeply embroiled in turmoil, infuriated by the fabricated evidence from the Federation Secret Agents.

But now, they were not troubled by any such matters, and the Duchy of England’s hadn’t fallen into chaos because of the Charles family’s issues.

When he stepped outside and looked up at the peaceful scenery, he finally felt the actual impact of the changes he had made.

"Ah, a peaceful and stable world!" Kael murmured softly.

As he was descending the stairs, he suddenly saw the girl wearing a long gown, her wine-red hair cascading down, her skirt’s black and red hues adding a touch of elegance rather than coldness.

Upon seeing Kael descend, her face broke into a radiant smile, causing Kael’s mind to reel at her beautiful visage.

After a long while, he sincerely praised, "Elanna, you’re dazzling to the point of being blinding now."

The praise from her beloved brought joy to Elanna’s face, but soon, a trace of sorrow appeared.

Kael pinched her cheek, asking, "What’s wrong? You look so troubled."

"Nothing, just some issues at school before I left."

"Hmm," Kael expressed his puzzlement, saying, "The Royal Knight Academy in the Royal Capital is considered one of the safest places, what could have happened there?"

Elanna shook her head and said, "It’s a matter among students, the teachers wouldn’t intervene unless absolutely necessary."

Kael shook his head and said, "You’ve always been like this, keeping everything to yourself and trying to handle it alone."

Suddenly, Kael made a move, blocking the girl’s slender waist and pulling her towards him.

In Elanna’s panic, she found herself in a warm embrace.

"Kael…" Elanna’s voice was barely audible.

Kael’s face drew close, and the sudden rush of shyness made Elanna uneasy, then she heard Kael whisper in her ear,

"If possible, I hope to share your joys, and it would be better if I could help."@@novelbin@@

The warmth of his breath left Elanna a bit flustered, and she finally spoke up about the situation,

"Actually, something did happen when I came out today."

"Mmm, tell me, I’m listening," Kael’s voice was very gentle.

Elanna’s face grew redder, she hesitated and said,

"Actually, there are quite a few people at the academy who like me."

Seeing the look Kael gave her, she paused for a moment and continued, "Though I have clearly rejected them, there are still some who won’t step back.

They’ve been harassing me for some time."

A smile appeared on Kael’s face, "I’m guessing, knowing your character, they didn’t have an easy time after harassing you."

"I beat them up…" Elanna said somewhat sheepishly.

A knowing look crossed Kael’s face, such action was indeed typical of Elanna.

"And then someone today leaked that I would be going out with you, so someone tried to confront you in a duel. There were quite a few of them, so I just let the teacher teach them a lesson directly."

"Decisive!" Kael gave a thumbs up.

In many novels, for the sake of thrill and showing-off, the protagonist would probably have to fight those people one by one.

"And then?"

"Then nothing more happened; I just worry they might not reason and directly come to fight you since you don’t have time to deal with them now, I…"

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Kael’s finger pressed to her lips, softly saying,

"Stop, at least when it comes to your matters, I’m not too busy."

Kael blinked, his handsome eyes looking somewhat intoxicating. Elanna nodded, no longer refusing but instead said,

"Then let’s give them a proper lesson, they are indeed too bothersome."

"I am a noble, after all, like in those Knight stories, I am the villain who stops them from reaching the heroine, an unforgivable sin.

Since they see me as so hateful, perhaps I should slightly act in a way that feels hateable."
