My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 44 Just a Guardian

"Hey, are you really not going to pay attention to me? After all, I've been waiting for you at the library entrance for an hour."

Iluvia walked behind Roland, pouting her lips and leaning forward, trying to see Roland's expression.

But Roland remained silent, and even quickened his pace, widening the distance between them.

"Hey!"

Seeing that Roland had no intention of stopping, Iluvia trotted after him.

Roland noticed out of the corner of his eye that Ilúvia was catching up to him, so he simply flashed forward to create some distance between them, and then stopped ten steps in front of Ilúvia.

"Your Highness, please stop following me."

"I know you've been waiting for me in the cold wind for a long time, but considering that the few times we've worked together, you've only caused me trouble on your side."

"So I refuse the invitation you just extended to me."

Iluvia was about to speak, somewhat unconvinced, but Roland interrupted her directly. "Please don't swear anything like 'you won't cause me any trouble.'"

"Until the situation in the capital stabilizes, please allow me to refuse all cooperation with you."

"Come on, you ran off before I even finished talking. Now you're not even going to listen to my explanation. Can't you wait until I finish what I want to say?"

Iluvia crossed her arms across her chest in anger, and her figure, which was not to be underestimated, was now slightly moving up and down with her heavy breathing.

Roland spread his hands and said, "Who told you to block me at the door?"

"Isn't it because I learned you were here from Ms. Fram that I came here?"

"You went to see Ms. Fram? No, you are very familiar with her?"

"Of course. After all, my father was also her student. How could he not know her? It was Ms. Fram who helped me learn magic."

Iluvia continued, "Okay, let's get down to business. We can discuss forming teams for the end-of-term assessment later. It's still early anyway."

"I want to tell you something else."

Iluvia looked around, then took out a palm-sized magic device and activated a silent barrier.

"The installation didn't last long, so I'll cut to the chase."

"Someone is going to target Ms. Fram. The target may not be her, but it will definitely affect those around her."

"You've been included in that group."

"Although the assassins' target this morning was me, you were also within their range."

"To put it simply, even if they can't kill me, they'll have achieved their goal by killing you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the duration of the barrier expired.

The device in Iluvia's hand also emitted some sparks, and it seemed to be scrapped.

Roland's mouth twitched. Looking at Iluvia, who was smiling like a flower, he felt that life was difficult.

"When was I targeted?"

"We're still investigating. But based on the current investigation, it seems to be related to the incident at Riskan."

Iluvia didn't continue talking, and Roland cooperated by not asking any more questions.

Iluvia quickly changed the subject: "So, you really don't consider cooperating with me?"

"Just think of it as something for your own benefit."

"Even if you stay in the academy, they still have plenty of ways to kill you~~~"

"Want me to tell you a few ways to kill you without getting involved?"

Roland used his Shaping Hand and snapped his fingers, blowing Iluvia's head off.

"oops!"

"Do you think I have any choice, Your Highness?"

Iluvia covered her forehead with her hands, then smiled at Roland: "Don't worry, I'll tell you the details tomorrow."

"We'll meet in Ms. Fram's office then. I've already told her about her situation."

"I'll tell you the exact time tomorrow morning."

Roland was a little surprised: "Are you planning to come again tomorrow morning?"

"You've been here all afternoon, haven't you? Aren't you going back to the palace?"

Iluvia showed a fake surprise on her face. "Oh, the Royal Capital Magic Academy is a boarding school. Day students are not allowed."

"It's the same even for the Crown Prince."

"So after completing the admissions procedures, I naturally have to live in the dormitory."

"Also..." Iluvia suddenly leaned in close to Roland's ear. This was the first time she was so close to him. "Actually, this afternoon, after I completed the enrollment procedures, I didn't leave immediately."

"I've been hiding behind you and that Miss Kalia and peeking at you."

"Whether it was handling the paperwork, eating together afterwards, or even sending her to the dormitory after dinner, I saw it all~~~"

Iluvia's words made Roland break out in a cold sweat.

What a slut!
It turned out that the reason why he didn't meet Iluvia in the admissions office was not because she completed the formalities and left early while he was chatting with Kalia.

Instead of just hiding inside, why didn't he leave?!

By the way, were Iluvia's hiding skills really that advanced? How could I not have noticed anything the entire time?

"Are you and her lovers, Roland?"

Although he was smiling and speaking in a gentle tone, Roland could sense something else.

"Strictly speaking, I am her temporary guardian."

"Eh?"

"Don't you understand? Just think of it as a parent or pet owner."

Roland immediately told her about his agreement with Fram. After listening to her, Iluvia nodded: "Really... I see. Is that how you see her?"

"Then what am I in your eyes?"

Iluvia blurted out subconsciously, but she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

Because she soon heard Roland's answer.

"Trouble itself."

"..."

As expected, this guy would say that.

"That's a pretty unsurprising answer. Okay, okay, I'm going back to the dorms to sleep now. I'll tell you everything else tomorrow morning after I receive the summons."

Iluvia turned her back and disappeared into the night. She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Roland could no longer see her.

A smile that didn't seem like a disguise appeared on the corner of her mouth, and even her steps became lighter.

Although recent worries and troubles have almost filled her life.

But today, there are finally two more things worth being happy about.

Although it’s not much, it’s enough to relax in a high-pressure environment.

"Looks like I can have a good dream tonight."

Iluvia quickly reached the dormitory area.

Thanks to the college's spacious land and abundant financial resources, as well as the small number of new students each year, the school is fully capable of providing each student with a two-story villa as a dormitory.

When Iluvia was about to go see her new residence, she saw a familiar face under the dim street light.

"Is that... Miss Kalia, Roland's pet?"

"What is she doing?"

Iluvia stopped opening the door and stood there looking at Kalia, who seemed to be in a strange state.

The other person just stood there blankly under the street light, staring at the intersection, motionless.

Iluvia looked in the direction of Kalia's gaze, but saw nothing.

At this time, a tall figure wearing a tall hat, a long black windbreaker, and a metal mask appeared beside Iluvia.

"Your Highness, this witch has been standing like this for half an hour."

"Hasn't anyone tried to ask her?"

"School hasn't officially started yet, and most students are still on vacation." The mysterious man continued, "A student just passed by and tried to talk to him, but got no response and quickly left."

"Well, I see."

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?!"

Seeing Iluvia walking towards Kalia, the mysterious man in strange clothes suddenly became anxious.

This scene doesn't look right at first glance. What if Her Royal Highness the Princess is assassinated again?
It’s okay that the military didn’t send out the “Hatter” to protect the princess before, but if it’s useless even after sending him out, that would be a big problem!
"Of course, I care about my classmates' mental health."

"Don't worry, I'm a witch after all, otherwise I would have died long ago."

"I can't survive to grow up, and I can't escape the assassination..."
