Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

"Of course!! Hair! Hair!!!"

Lilith grimaced, unable to understand how Catherine could ask such a meaningless question.

"...Except for this." Catherine looked at her pupils that occasionally flashed with golden light, and tried to calm herself down.

"Eh?" Lilith didn't answer her, but suddenly stopped fighting with the crystal, raised her hand with a confused look on her face, "Have my nails grown too long?" She shook it gently twice, and actually cut off a strand of hair that was entangled around Catherine!

The room fell silent for a moment. Catherine swallowed hard to moisten her dry throat. She remembered that Lilith never grew her nails long because the training was too violent. If the nails grew long, they might be accidentally broken and cause injury.

This seemed to be a faculty lounge. There was no sign of an office, only scattered recliners and round tables, with some recreational playing cards scattered on the tables. Two girls were sitting on the thick plush carpet, their black and white dresses stacked together, like two swans cuddling each other.

"Lilith..." Catherine remembered the mirror that Winnie left with her when she helped her comb her hair after lunch, so she took it out of her bracelet and held it towards Lilith.

Lilith looked at it blankly, her eyes suddenly became firm, and she slapped her thigh fiercely——

"It's belladonna, she added belladonna! I knew it! Phoebe must have made that cookie!" It's so horrible, she even gave me hallucinations!

Catherine looked at Lilith's determined eyes and found it funny. Her originally shocked heart slowly calmed down. She took a deep breath and advised herself to stay calm and not panic. At least one of them had to stay rational.

"This is not an illusion, Lilith, I can see it too." Catherine's tone was extremely gentle, as if she was afraid that Lilith could not accept such a drastic change. "But don't worry, let's think of a way to see what caused it and how to solve it-"

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness Catherine, Lilith, are you in there?" Neller had been looking forward to the big show for a few days, how could he be willing to give up like this? He knocked on the door boredly outside, with a malicious smile on his face.

The door was suddenly opened. Before Neller could see the scene inside the house clearly, and before he could control the expression on his face, he felt a huge gust of wind hitting him in the face. He had no time to react at all, and he hit the opposite wall heavily and fell to the ground.

Neller lowered his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed softly. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of surprise, and he sighed softly, "I thought you were a gentle person, Your Highness Catherine."

Isn’t this much more interesting?

"I also thought that regardless of nationality, it is a universal moral principle not to pry into a lady's privacy." Catherine's expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be a surging glacier flowing in her eyes. Wind elements gathered around her, and a draft blew in the closed corridor for no reason, making the ornaments on the distant wall rustle.

"Or does it mean that illegitimate children of royal blood do not need to learn aristocratic etiquette? Sorry, I don't quite understand." Catherine lowered her cold gray eyes, looking at Neller as if she were looking at a stink bug.

Neller's smile froze for a moment, then widened again. He stretched out his legs and sat on the ground. He looked up at the silver-haired princess and said, "That's all in the past. Without other children, we are no longer illegitimate children."

"Really? What do you think your father was busy with after he sent you here?" Catherine's words were quick and venomous. Apart from Canion, this was the first time that an outsider had seen this side of her, which showed how furious she was.

"..."

"It doesn't matter." Neller continued to wear an indifferent smile, as if he was unwilling to admit defeat. "The Gaia Empire has beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate, and so many interesting... people. I think it's not bad to stay here. Of course, it would be best if I could stay here as a royal consort..."

His eyes were filled with greed, and he looked at Catherine as if he was looking at an exquisite and luxurious trophy.

"Oh!"

The wind bullet hit his abdomen like a fist, and just as he was about to stand up, he had another fierce and intimate contact with the wall. This time he was even more embarrassed than before, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

But even so, he uttered a low chuckle, which made Catherine feel as if a cold poisonous snake was sliding across her ankles and gave rise to goose bumps on her arms.

"You are much cuter this way than when you are gentle and polite as usual, Princess." Neller looked up at the person in front of him, with some admiration in his eyes. "That's right. How could there not be a madman in your Bishop family?"

He grinned, his teeth turned pink from the blood, and bewitched Catherine with cold eyes, "You and us are such a perfect match, Catherine, why are you angry? I just come here to care about you——"

"What do you care about?" Catherine said indifferently, but her mind was racing. Was it him? Was he the one who harmed Lilith?

"I'm just chatting with Lilith about some girly things. Do you want to sit in, too? Your Highness Nieler. We don't seem to be that familiar with each other."

"Lilith seemed a little uncomfortable just now, so I came to see if she needed any help." He stood up with the help of the wall, looking at the closed door behind the princess with interest.

"She just ate too much and got an upset stomach. She's resting now." Catherine kept an indifferent look throughout the whole process, and others could not tell her true thoughts from her expression.

"then you--"

"I'm also going to take a break. Preparing for the graduation ball has already consumed all my energy, so dancing is out of the question." Catherine stopped Nerelle from saying anything else. "Excuse me, Your Highness Nerelle. I wish you a pleasant day."

Catherine gave him a final warning cold glance, turned back to her room, and left him alone in the dark corridor.

Neller stood up and stretched, his bones crackling. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.

"Magic... it's so annoying."

When he cleaned up and went downstairs, he saw the Russell siblings talking from afar on the steps, but both of them looked unhappy.

"I didn't say anything wrong, Angie." Daniel had already looked around a few times, but couldn't find the familiar figure. "Can you still see Lilith? She can't dance anymore, not in this lifetime."

It is even more impossible to hold a sword. What help can a useless person provide to Her Highness Catherine? Sooner or later, she will be forgotten and become the object of pity. Daniel couldn't help but smile when he thought of the future of the always energetic girl.

If she became more sensible in the future, he wouldn't mind giving her some shelter.

"But His Highness Niler..."

"If what you really want is for me to facilitate a dance with His Highness Nerel, you should tell me directly." Daniel's eyes flashed with impatience, he couldn't stand her being so shy.

"You--!" An Qi's girlish thoughts were bluntly exposed, and a look of shame and anger appeared on her face.

"He's coming." Daniel, who was standing opposite her, suddenly spoke.

Angel suddenly turned around. His Highness Nerer was standing a few steps away with his hands behind his back. He looked at the girl in the white dress in front of him with a smile on his thin lips and stretched out his right hand.

"May I have the honor of inviting you to dance with me, Miss Angie?"

"Of course, of course!" An Qi covered her mouth, about to cry.

She finally got what she wanted, thank God of Light!
