The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Enter it.

　Not to mention integrating into his life.

　Such an outstanding and charming person would surely attract people who like him, right?

　Aurora's gaze fell on the girl walking side by side with Dark Dimon.

　This caused her pupils to shrink slightly, stirring up a turmoil within her.

　She was a very cute girl with similar silver hair, and her big eyes seemed to hold a vibrant soul.

　He's in first grade, so he should be twenty years old, a year older than her, but he looks younger.

　Perhaps she looks a little older?

　Moreover, unlike her, who is not very open to laughing, she is a very cheerful child with an infectious smile.

　Being with a child like that must be incredibly fun every day, right?

　From an outsider's perspective, it's immediately obvious that the girl has feelings for Dak.

　Aurora couldn't help but look down at her chest, her hesitation growing stronger.

　"Can I really?"

　……

　Lord Montilfali is actually a person who is rough around the edges but meticulous at heart.

　She immediately saw through her daughter's thoughts and casually asked, "Arte, who is that child? Is he also in first grade?"

　Principal Art smiled faintly: "Diana Gretbil, the apple of the eye of the Bear family."

　"That giant bear family? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Lord Montilfali's feigned composure crumbled instantly.

　There's no way around it; the Gretby family members are all veritable "giants."

　Lord Montilfarie and Viscount Gretel had even fought in the same trench, so they could never imagine that such a lovely child could be the daughter of the Bear family!

　"Could it be a case of atavism? No, even if it is, wouldn't it be turning into a bear?"

　Lord Montilfali covered her forehead, somewhat confused.

　Principal Arte said, "It's Camilla's child."

　Lord Montilfarli glared and said, "That Camilla?"

　Principal Arte pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded.

　Lord Montilfali bit her lip: "That Camilla actually married into the Giant Bear family and had such a daughter?"

　Aurora had been listening quietly, then looked up and asked, "Mother, which aunt is Camilla?"

　Lord Montilfari turned her head and said, "Silver Wolf Knight Camilla, a shameless woman. Aurora, you absolutely cannot lose to her daughter, understand?"

　“Oh.” Aurora nodded subconsciously, then she immediately sensed something was wrong. “The Silver Wolf Knight isn’t Father’s…”

　The master licked his lips, his eyes seemingly burning with fiery passion: "That's right, she's your father's half-sister."

　Aurora suddenly realized: "Then Diana is my cousin?"

　……

　"Diana, Diana is so cute!"

　In the kingdom's capital, Arvit watched Diana's retreating figure disappear with Dark at the entrance of the passage and blurted out.

　When she first saw the child in the rookie competition, she felt that the child was very talented, cute, and had innocent eyes.

　"Diana and Anna are both Anna."

　Princess Angie, however, lay down on the Valkyrie's lap and secretly reached out to grab the white cat model in her hand.

　Alvit gently moved the Gatomon model aside, thinking about the letter she had received from Montilfarie some time ago, which contained a photo of her daughter.

　The woman in the photo, Aurora, bears a striking resemblance to Diana.

　Aurora has a very good reputation. I heard that she started helping her mother manage affairs when she was ten years old. She will definitely be a very good wife when she grows up.

　For my precious son, who is very averse to such matters, having such a capable wife would make life a bit easier from now on.

　At that time, Aurora thought it was really nice.

　But human beings are inherently greedy.

　So-called contentment is also based on rationality.

　Now, Arvitt also thinks that Diana is quite nice.

　This gave her some happy troubles.

　As for the two little princesses on the side... they were still a bit too playful.

　……

　After arriving at the ring, Dark Dimon and Diana quickly found Rose.

　But he immediately noticed that the only empty space next to Rose was occupied by the unopened Easter egg.

　This made him a little embarrassed.

　Diana, however, didn't think too much about it. She ran up to Rose in a few steps and happily told her about her experiences in the preliminary rounds.

　Once Dark came over, she shifted her little bottom, pushing Rose to the side to make room for three-quarters of the space, and winked at Dark.

　After hesitating for a moment, Dak sat down in the empty seat.

　The three children stood close together, their smiles warm.

　……

　The breath of spring arrived with the spring breeze, but a light drizzle fell in the kingdom's capital.

　Princess Elizabeth, having foreseen the impending rain, had already moved her sermon from the square indoors.

　People sat in the warm indoor space, listening to her tell her story.

　Of those seated in the spacious hall, half were men and half were women.

　The eldest princess mainly talks about grassroots life, the future, children's education, housing construction, as well as the rule of law, safety, women's liberation, and other topics.

　She doesn't appear assertive; instead, she leverages her unique feminine strengths to speak in a friendly tone, making people empathize with her thoughts and follow her train of thought.

　And the other side.

　However, Prince Charles did not do so.

　He simply ordered raincoats to be distributed as the drizzle approached.

　He himself delivered his speech in the rain to create an atmosphere of grandeur.

　But apart from the topic of women's liberation, his speeches were not much different from those of the eldest princess.

　As for the rejection of other races and the discrimination against sub-humans, it was not mentioned at all.

　He certainly wouldn't talk about these things in a speech that's primarily about gaining favor.

　However, unlike the eldest princess's core idea of ​​"internal development," he prefers "external expansion," using "achieving success" and "expanding territory" to attract passionate men.

　The two sides' presentations were quite similar, both attracting specific groups of people.

　Moreover, the atmosphere is relatively different.

　The resulting effects would likely be quite different.

　However, as the rain intensifies, most of these Easter sermons will end around noon.

　The eldest princess planned to head to the St. Marian Duel Hall after the event, thinking that she might be able to have lunch with her two younger sisters.

　The eldest prince, on the other hand, planned to head straight back home.

　But a message came through the heavy rain, causing his expression to change slightly.

　……

　The second preliminary round of the Easter Duel Festival was held as scheduled.

　171 contestants from grades four to six took the stage one after another.

　Compared to the less famous first to third graders, there are a large number of star players in the fourth to sixth grades.

　Of particular note is "Baron of the Night," a fifth-year student at the Knights Academy, who amassed a huge following with his "Red-spine Black Dragon."

　As for why the students of the Knights' Academy have the nickname "Baron"...

　That's because he was indeed a baron.

　He was awarded the title in his third year of high school.

　"The Night Baron" is not only a star duelist, but also a young hero who defended his homeland during a disaster. As a result, he was promoted from a knight to a meritorious baron who was not eligible for hereditary succession, and was publicized as a typical case, thus gaining great fame.

　Unfortunately, "Baron of the Night" is not considered handsome, and he lacks a bit in terms of personal popularity.

　Therefore, even though the popularity of "Red Ridge Black Dragon" and "Sky Dome White Dragon" is about the same.

　However, the popularity of the archmages "Baron of the Night" and "Silver Dragon Girl" differs slightly.

　However, even without "Silver Dragon Girl," "Baron of the Night" is still popular enough to keep things going.

　As for the star player in sixth grade...

　Most sixth graders are already preparing for graduation, and some are even no longer in school. At this point, they have no interest in participating in this kind of entertainment-oriented competition.

　In short, after the audience was shocked to find that "Silver Dragon Girl" did not appear, they had no choice but to make do with "Baron of the Night".

　Of course, there were also many popular contestants among the other students, whose fans came specifically for the event, and the banners they unfurled covered the area like rolling dragons.

　The preliminary rounds for grades four through six had a completely different atmosphere from those for grades one through three.

　Each fan club's support group directly shouted the names or nicknames of their star players, creating an atmosphere as intense as some historic concerts.

　Influenced by the atmosphere, Dak and the others became increasingly engrossed in the viewing.

　When the competition began, one magical spirit after another appeared.

　He suddenly wondered if, in such a chaotic battle, if some star players' magical spirits were suddenly attacked from behind or deliberately surrounded and killed, it might cause a riot.

　"I wonder if any of the branch offices have mages who possess 'Silence' cards..."

　……

　The upperclassmen are indeed upperclassmen; one powerful magical spirit after another appears.

　Before long, someone summoned a third-tier magical spirit while surrounded by wolves.

　The giant fire serpent, over ten meters tall, spewed thick pillars of fire downwards from the sky, sweeping across a vast area.

　The archmage's points skyrocketed, reaching the top.

　But less than half a minute later, the giant fire python was overwhelmed by the wave of the ultimate attack and was blasted to smithereens amidst screams.

　The top spot was quickly taken over by another student.

　That was even a name that was virtually unknown.

　But this name didn't even hold up for half a minute.

　The preliminary rounds for the senior students were far more intense than anyone could have imagined; the first-tier magical elves had absolutely no chance of survival.

　The players used all sorts of unbelievable methods to summon high-star magical spirits, and employed various magical cards and ritual cards to evade area-of-effect attacks, constantly eliminating their opponents. They then switched magical spirits to continue earning points.

　The rankings on the big screen went up and down like a train.

　The shouts and screams from the audience, eliciting cheers from the duelists' spectacular performances, created a scene of immense public excitement.

　When "Baron of the Night" successfully summoned the third-tier magical spirit, "Redridge Black Dragon," the roar of the entire open-air arena reached its peak.

　"Is this the nine-star magical spirit—the 'Crimson Spine Black Dragon'?"

　Dark looked up at the Western Black Dragon with a crimson line of blood on its back, feeling the faint dragon aura emanating from it. He finally gained a preliminary understanding of this nine-star magical spirit.

　To be able to cultivate a magical spirit to the ninth tier within the academy must require both strength and opportunity.
