Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The Valkyries were caught off guard by the sudden breach and were momentarily stunned.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bronya, using her heavily armored bunny, forcibly opened a path.

Once you reach the area behind the East Gate, you can board a flying vehicle to leave St. Freya Academy.

During the run, Kiana held tightly to Ziyao's hand while keeping an eye on her companions, worried that they might get separated.

Upon arriving in front of the black transport plane, Ziyao suddenly stopped.

"The situation is critical, please leave with us."

Bronya looked back and saw the Valkyries chasing after her.

If we leave now, they definitely won't be able to catch up. We can't waste the opportunity created by the headmaster.

"It's too late."

Ziyao shook her head and reached out to stop the girls from moving forward.

"It's been a long time. Wouldn't you like to come out and catch up, Lord Otto?"

A few seconds later, a figure stepped out of the plane.

Long, golden hair with a hint of green, a suit jacket with a sharp collar, and a composed and natural demeanor...

—The Bishop of Destiny.

I didn't expect him to come in person.

"As expected of you, my ally, you always manage to anticipate the next move."

The man chuckled, but his gaze toward Ziyao was not frivolous at all; instead, it was insightful and profound.

He greatly respected this capable ally, even though their partnership had temporarily ended.

"There are no permanent winners in chess, and this time I won."

Without giving them a moment to breathe, they immediately dispatched Durandal and sealed off the airspace near the Far East Branch overnight, making it impossible for them to escape.

"That's really your style."

Upon seeing that the other party was Otto, Ziyao abandoned her plan to attack.

With her current strength, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

“…”

In the dormitory, Durandal suddenly stopped.

Looking at the empty sky in the distance, Theresa suddenly realized something and immediately rushed over there.

"My lovely granddaughter, you're late."

“She is St. Freya’s student. I will find a way to solve the Herrscher problem.”

“This is a matter for your elders. The Far East branch is developing very well, so you can go ahead and do it.”

Now that we have achieved the desired result, there is no need to linger any longer.

"and many more!"

"Tsk..."

Theresa knew she couldn't change Otto's mind, so she could only clench her fists and blame herself for not noticing it sooner.

They could only watch helplessly as Kiana was knocked unconscious and taken away.

The transport plane slowly started up, and all efforts came to naught.

It can't end like this....

Theresa took out Judas, attempting to intercept the plane.

"Lady Theresa, you should give up."

Rita stopped Theresa, but the bishop had already planned everything, and this move was futile.

At the same time, Durandal walked over.

Theresa knelt on the ground in despair, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Rita shook her head, indicating her helplessness.

The matter is settled and cannot be changed.

Durandal felt a pang of pity and knelt down to gently stroke Theresa's long hair.

"We can't give up yet..."

"Lady Theresa?"

A moment later, seeing Theresa stand up with a gloomy face, Rita had a bad feeling.

He picked up his phone and dialed Himeko's number.

"Prepare the Hyperion, we're heading to Schicksal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ziyao suddenly took his phone away.

"No."

Theresa looked up at the sky and shook her head, saying, "We don't have time."

Considering the unsettling possibilities, she felt she had to confront fate and get to the bottom of things.

"More haste less speed."

Ziyao said calmly that she must now take on the role of the backbone.

“Once you go against destiny, you will be labeled a traitor here, and even in the entire Far East branch.”

"Everything painstakingly built will vanish like smoke."

Even so, should we still go?

Theresa lowered her head and fell silent.

She wasn't unreasonable; with a simple explanation, she instantly understood the pros and cons of the matter.

"what to do...."

She asked weakly.

Caught in a dilemma, unable to move an inch, every little thing has far-reaching consequences.

"Lady Theresa, His Holiness the Bishop has his own plans, please rest assured."

Rita comforted her, saying that remaining silent was the best solution.

"Ziyao... what should I do...?"

Like a drowning person, they turn to every possible hope for help.

"It's very simple."

Taking Theresa's small hand in her own, Ziyao half-squatted down and placed it on her chest.

Her calm and gentle tone is like a remedy that can heal all wounds.

Just hearing that sound calms me down.

"Please marry me."

With clear, unadulterated eyes, the girl spoke earnestly.

Everyone was startled.

marry.....

Rita was initially surprised, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

It's definitely not that simple.

Compared to Theresa's reckless and impulsive style, Ziyao's is the most dangerous.

She never plays by the rules; what will she do this time?

.......

Volume 1: Chapter 111 A Sham Marriage as a Pretext for Backstabbing

"What exactly is marriage...?"

Back in the dorm, Mei pressed for an answer.

Kiana was taken away, but the solution was this, which is baffling.

Mei wasn't the only one with this question; Theresa did too.

But she didn't ask too many questions; instead, she chose to believe.

Theresa took Ziyao's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I always end up relying on you."

The white-haired loli raised her head, her moist eyes filled with determination. "Please tell me what to do."

A young girl would never do anything meaningless.

From the moment of the anti-entropy invasion, the girl helped them time and time again.

Whenever there is a predicament, there is always a way to find a way out.

Theresa was filled with gratitude, but also with guilt for constantly troubling others and even getting herself into danger that had nothing to do with them. She really didn't know how to make amends.

"Kiana is also an important friend of mine, so please don't worry."

"As for why we got married..."

Hearing Ziyao drawl, Rita immediately understood what she meant.

"You all continue your conversation, Rita will take her leave now."

"No need, please help clean the room."

Aren't you worried that I might hear something I shouldn't?

“I need you to tell Otto.”

Ziyao looked out the window and saw the thick smoke in the sky gradually dissipating.
