The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan smiled and shook his head, but did not answer his master.

Next, Dekan, as if in despair and completely letting loose, clutched his chest and, like a fanatical actor in the climax of a play, shouted towards the flowerbed:

"Cornelia, my Cornelia!! When you are by my side, even the darkest night turns into a refreshing morning! I crave no other companion in this world but you! My imagination cannot conjure up any other image that I could love but you! Every time I see you, my heart is captured, and I am willingly captivated by you! My heart, my love, I am such a fool that I can even shed tears of joy just by hearing your heartfelt words of affection!!"

Dekan finished speaking as if he were having a seizure or going mad, as if all the pressure in his heart had been completely released.

After taking a deep breath, he felt much better.

Although today's practice has been completely ineffective.

But he felt that a lot of things that had been weighing on his mind had been released.

Of course, this also completely baffled the master.

Dekan was very satisfied.

Dekan then fell silent.

The master has also left his vocal cords at home.

Just as Dekan was about to retort with a sarcastic remark about his inferior sister.

"rustle......"

Suddenly, Dekan sensed a slight movement in the grass in the distance.

Aside from the sound of branches and leaves being tripped.

There seemed to be a faint... chuckle?

It sounds like he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer!

Dekan felt a chill run down his spine.

I hope no one sees me acting crazy.

Clay had already investigated!

“Dekan…”

Before Dekan could even go forward to investigate, he heard a delicate, timid voice coming from afar that nearly made his soul fly away.

"Connie...Lia?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Dekan felt utterly devastated, as if he were sitting on pins and needles, and his voice became slightly hoarse.

His hands even started trembling.

In that instant, Dekan began frantically recalling every word he had just uttered!

He had no idea how much of his embarrassing behavior Cornelia had seen.

Unfortunately, Cornelia herself happens to be here, but thankfully, it is Cornelia who is here!

So that no one else will see it and I won't lose face back home!

In the distance, a beautiful figure slowly emerged from the darkness, gradually becoming clearer.

Her eyes blinked as she stared straight at Dekan, her gaze filled with a mixture of joy and shyness.

She must have seen Dekan's embarrassing behavior just now.

Even in the dim light, you could see that her little face was flushed.

The first two paragraphs of Dekan's speech were probably alright.

The crazy quote that followed made Cornelia both laugh and extremely embarrassed.

After a long while, Dekan stammered:

"Cornelia, you... what are you doing here?"

Cornelia suddenly lowered her head, her small hands twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice so low it was almost inaudible:

"Teacher Cat sent me here. She said you were putting on a good show..."

It was indeed a good show.

This play was just a bit too intense.

Dekan suddenly felt a chill down his spine and quickly scanned his surroundings to investigate. He discovered that there seemed to be a pair of bright cat eyes gleaming in the grass in the distance.

Sure enough, the cat was there too!

After being stared at by Dekan with a deathly, lifeless gaze, Teacher Cat finally jumped out of the bushes, obediently approached Dekan, and admitted:

"I bribed Kree-nyan... to report crucial intelligence to me and Morion at critical moments, meow..."

Upon hearing this, Dekan was so angry that he couldn't speak, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

They thought that by keeping Clay under their noses, the biggest threat in the world would be eliminated.

Unexpectedly, Clay, who was right next to me, was also in danger!

Even though he is Clay's boss.

But when faced with the temptations of Cat Teacher and Morion, this guy probably didn't hesitate for long before saying, "I have to pay more."

and many more.

Morion?

Dekan felt as if a cold wind had swept through his heart.

Another figure emerged from the grass in the distance.

Morion raised his hands in a gesture of repentance.

He wore a wry smile, clearly indicating that the current situation was different from what he had expected.

I had received a message from Clay that I heard Dekan might be practicing his proposal in the courtyard.

So Morion and Cat Teacher rushed over with Cornelia immediately.

According to the normal script, we should be able to witness the beautiful scene of "Dekan's awkward and clumsy confession being witnessed by Cornelia".

And indeed, they are almost identical...

But I didn't expect Dekan's final surge to be so exaggerated...

"Tell me, are there any accomplices?"

Dekan felt very calm now.

With Morion's skills alone, it shouldn't be possible to hide so well, to the point that even he himself was completely unaware that there were two people and a cat hiding in the bushes.

It's very likely that Mier was also brought along by them.

"..."

Morion fell silent.

It seems there are things to say but can't be said.

Finally, after staring at Dekan with an extremely complicated expression for a long time, he turned around and looked towards the direction of the bushes.

Dekan witnessed Morion's reaction.

The next second, another rustling sound came from the direction of the bushes.

Dekan covered his face and laughed.

Although he was laughing, his hands were shaking.

Because he saw—

The entire Norton family and friends delegation that came to the Kingdom of Vihart this time.

They emerged in groups from the bushes, like criminals caught in the act.

Their expressions varied.

Almost all of them were trying to put on a guilty expression.

But almost none of them could suppress the smile on their lips.

obviously.

They never expected Dekan to pull such a big stunt on them.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Dekan laughed as if he were Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.

He felt that he had finally grasped the state of mental clarity.

Author's Note:

I'm sorry, I was supposed to finish writing the entire Dekan proposal chapter today, but I didn't finish even after 5 a.m.... I'll have to finish the second half tomorrow. I felt groggy and not in good shape after working so hard yesterday... My apologies...

362 Dekan's Proposal

The night was so dark that even the moonlight was almost hidden.

In a luxurious courtyard befitting the status of the elector, a group of people are watching one person.

This prolonged silence resembled a public trial.

Everyone was waiting for Dekan to give his final defense.

After a long silence, Dekan suddenly burst into laughter.

He looked at his friends who had illegally intruded and declared loudly:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I knew you would want to cause trouble, but actually this is a sting operation that Clay and I have put together to catch you all out!"

Dekan, with an air of complete mastery, staged a stunning comeback.

It doesn't seem like they're lying through their teeth at all.

He appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was constantly relieved that he had reacted quickly enough and still had room to struggle.

They were even still trembling with fear as they plotted to get rid of that great god, Clay, once they escaped this calamity.
