Just as Lynn was about to take a step and continue walking forward.

He was then held captive by a pair of slender arms!

He looked down and saw only a head of brilliant blond hair buried tightly in his chest, without saying a word.

The delicate body in his arms trembled slightly.

Passersby stopped in their tracks, their gazes fixed on the two of them.

Uncontrollable whispers spread through the crowd.

"Tsk tsk, look over there, these young people nowadays, they really don't know their place..."

"That guy is really handsome. It's a pity. He doesn't look like a good person. He's probably a playboy."

"Exactly! Look at that girl's uniform, isn't it from Seidokan Academy? And those accessories, she's definitely a young lady from a wealthy family. This is absolutely a classic 'handsome scumbag tricking an ignorant young lady' drama!"

"Sigh, this young lady is really something, being deceived yet still clinging to him so devotedly, what a pitiful thing..."

The whispers and comments from the community made Lynn sigh.

"Miss tour guide, you're doing this..."

He paused, gestured with his chin to the growing crowd around him, and lowered his voice.

How do I walk?

"Besides, listen to what they're saying. I've already been identified as the prime suspect for abducting innocent young girls."

Upon hearing these words, the delicate body in his arms stirred slightly.

She didn't look up, but instead buried her face even deeper, as if she wanted to completely meld herself into his body.

Then, a muffled, unreasonable pout came from his chest.

"Just a little longer..."

"...Just for a moment."

Then, as if she felt that answering only the first half of his sentence was not enough, she corrected his "complaint" in the second half of his sentence.

"They're not right..."

“You are not a ‘suspect’.”

She slowly raised her head.

Her beautiful, sea-blue eyes were already misty with tears as she gazed at him intently.

“You are the real ‘prisoner’.”

"And the evidence..."

"it's me."

……

The seven-star hotel, Crown of Astraea.

The lobby manager was surveying his territory.

As the head of the most luxurious hotel in Liuhua City, he has seen it all and is a seasoned veteran.

He can handle both high-ranking executives of integrated companies and visiting dignitaries from other countries with ease.

However, when that gold-plated automatic sensor door slid open silently...

For the first time, cracks appeared in his perpetually unchanging professional fake smile.

Stepping inside, one is greeted by a golden hue that is known to everyone in the entire Six Flower City—

Claudia Enfield, student council president of Seidokan Academy!

He approached and greeted them with the utmost humility.

But then, he stopped in his tracks.

Because he saw it.

A man was being held tightly in the arms of the Queen of the Star Guide Hall, almost as if he were being held hostage.

He was an excessively handsome man.

But his casual tourist attire clashed terribly with the hotel's luxurious atmosphere...

And the bewilderment and helplessness on his face, as if he were asking, "Who am I? Where am I? Who will save me?"

All of this made him appear so...innocent and weak.

At that moment, the lobby manager's logic processor emitted a mournful cry as if it were about to burn out.

What's happening here?

Boy friend?

Do not!

An idea, even more absurd than the word "boyfriend" itself, uncontrollably popped into my head.

That one...

The usually elegant and refined President Claudia...

...Robbed a foreign tourist on the street?!

Just as his worldview was about to collapse, Claudia arrived before him with her "spoils of war".

"good afternoon."

Her smile remained as perfect and flawless as ever.

But the hand that was holding Lynn's arm showed no sign of letting go.

"Good afternoon... Miss Enfield..."

The lobby manager felt his voice was trembling and his tongue was almost tied in knots.

His gaze, uncontrollably, shifted back and forth between Claudia's perfect smile and Lynn's utterly dejected expression.

What Claudia said next completely petrified him.

"This gentleman..."

She paused, her gaze slowly shifting from the manager to Lynn's face.

In that instant, her noble and perfect face was filled with unyielding heartache and pity.

Then, she looked at the manager again and announced, word by word.

"...is me, a very, very important person."

After she finished speaking, the gentleness on her face deepened.

"Now, he's tired and wants to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn, who had been silent all along, let out a weak protest.

"Wait a minute, I actually still..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Claudia interrupted him with a gentler, yet more assertive, tone and a smile.

She didn't look at him, but silently stared at the manager in front of her, who was already sweating profusely, and "answered" for him.

"no."

"I'm just tired."

The words fell.

The entire lobby fell into a deathly silence.

……

"Ding--"

The private elevator smoothly takes you to the top floor of the hotel.

Once the door opens, you're greeted by a private, luxurious corridor.

The lobby manager was already waiting at the door like a loyal dog, and personally swiped the card to open the door for them, which symbolized the most luxurious room in Liuhua City.

“Miss Enfield, and this… gentleman.”

The manager's face held a meaningful smile that only those in the industry could understand.

He bowed slightly.

"Have a pleasant journey, both of you."

After the two entered the room, he considerately closed the door gently from the outside.

"Click."

A soft sound.

The world fell silent.

Only the two of them remained.

Claudia did not immediately approach Lynn.

She turned around and gracefully locked the heavy door from the inside.

Another crisp "click" sound.

It was as if the tolling of a bell signaling the start of some kind of ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, she took the only electronic room key from the door.

She held the room key between her slender fingers and waved it at Lynn.

A gentle smile bloomed again on that stunningly beautiful face.

"Be good~"

Her voice was as soft as a lover's whisper.

"Stay here until I come out."

"Don't run around."

After saying that, she turned around and walked gracefully and elegantly towards the bathroom.

soon.

The sound of rushing water came from behind the frosted glass door, separating the two worlds.

Lynn stood there, listening to the distant sound of water, and the "helpless" expression on his face finally faded.

Instead, a playful smile appeared on his face.

His thoughts drifted back to two months ago.

……

When Lynn's consciousness descended.

What he saw was a room that resembled a golden birdcage.

A blonde girl, only fourteen years old, was kneeling on a velvet carpet.

She was holding a family photo in her hands.

In the photo, the parents' smiles are gentle and kind.

But just now, these two people uttered the cruelest words.

“Claudia, now that Pandora has chosen you, you must bear the responsibility that comes with this ‘gift’.”

"Use it to open the door to higher positions for us—"

"Otherwise, a daughter who cannot contribute is meaningless to us."

The pure star-type weapon named [Pandora] possesses the powerful ability to glimpse the "future".

But the price is that she must personally experience every possible "death" in her dreams every night.
