The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

I only found out after talking to him that he was in fourth grade.

Chloeux failed a grade because she couldn't pass the Shadow World test.

Not only did all the shadow worlds he participated in fail, but the last one resulted in Claire's sister being seriously injured.

As a result, her sister endured a great deal of treatment from Chloeux before she was able to survive.

This directly led to Claire, Chloe's childhood friend with whom he had previously had a good relationship, becoming extremely critical of him.

Dekan, as an observer, saw things very clearly.

Claire's feelings for Chloeux are very complicated.

She has a somewhat awkward personality, and even if she likes Chloe, she would never say it out loud.

Because of her sister's affair with Chloe, she should, out of a sense of obligation, hate Chloe; yet she is also angry at Chloe's颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless,颓废, or颓废) appearance, and feels guilty for secretly liking Chloe.

If Chloeux were to discover her feelings, she wouldn't know how to face her sister.

So after her sister's accident, she didn't know how to treat Chloeux.

In the chaos, resorting to harsh words—the worst possible way to cope—may have gradually become a habit for her to conceal her true feelings.

The only possible way to save her from this predicament is for Chloe to be able to see through her thoughts and make her reluctantly and willingly let go of all her burdens to be with Chloe.

However, it just so happens that Chloeux, that straightforward guy...

Of course, it's impossible to guess what she's thinking!

As expected, Claire suffered a crushing defeat in love.

"So, is the trouble Chloeux is in related to Claire and Judith?"

Dekan asked tentatively.

He never expected that in the past two years, Chloeux would finally enable the Shura Field to achieve triple fusion, realize self-sustaining combustion, and complete the nuclear fusion experiment.

Actually, you can tell from the fact that Morion got married a long time ago, but Chloex is still not married!

His good brother is still stuck in a quagmire!

The old butler nodded:

"Yes, let's put aside Lady Judith for now. Whether it's her status, her position as a supreme power, or the fact that they are mutually in love, she is undoubtedly the best candidate for Countess."

He sighed, seemingly feeling that he too was willing but unable to do anything about it.

"It was precisely because she was so suitable that the old count felt very sorry for his family friend, the Marquis of Prin, and his eldest and second daughters became extremely haggard because of Lady Chloix."

"However, these are not the key issues. The key issue is that our old Earl of Kuran Territory and Marquis Prin had arranged a marriage between Lord Chloix and the eldest daughter of the Marquis Prin family."

"what?"

Dekan was stunned upon hearing this.

Upon hearing those words, his brain went through a frantic analysis, and he already sensed something was very wrong.

He instinctively took a half step back.

Cornelia looked at his feet, then squeezed his wrist, and felt that his pulse had changed slightly.

The butler stared at Dekan, and for some reason, he felt that Dekan seemed about to run away at any moment, so he subconsciously quickened his pace and said:

"Although Lady Judith did not openly express her desire for Lord Chloix to be devoted to her, and she knew that Chloix, as an earl, had many troubles related to family and social obligations, she would sometimes feel wronged and quietly shed tears."

"Marquis Prin hopes that Chloex will fulfill his engagement and marry Miss Sheryl, but the trouble lies with the young lady. She and Chloex were childhood sweethearts, and she has always believed that she will marry Chloex. After recovering from her illness, she suddenly heard that the engagement was to be dissolved, and she always cried like a baby."

"Miss Claire had already given up and decided to support Chloex and Judith's relationship, but now she's caught between Judith and her sister, struggling with her inner turmoil and not knowing what to do... It seems she's also thinking of making one last attempt."

The butler finished speaking in one breath.

"I※!"

Upon hearing this, Dekan immediately took Cornelia's hand, preparing to turn around and head back to the station to catch tonight's rail train back to the Kingdom of Vihart.

This is simply uncontrolled nuclear fusion!

Now is not the right time!

However, he couldn't move Cornelia no matter what he did.

Despite her slender appearance, Cornelia possesses strength that he cannot match.

"Since we're already here..."

Cornelia held Dekan's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, while she smiled at the bewildered Zestellila, who was also holding her hand.

Dekan can be a little willful sometimes.

However, it was so late, and they still had Zestellila with them; the child was already very sleepy at this hour.

We can't let Dekan cause any more trouble.

"No! I just don't want to turn back into that comedian!"

So, amidst Dekan's piercing screams, Cornelia dragged him along, following the old butler toward the Earl's mansion.

Side Story 15: Chloeux's Dilemma

The starry sky was dazzling, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The surrounding buildings were gently illuminated by the moonlight, casting hazy shadows and making the street appear even more tranquil and mysterious.

The carriages heading to the lord's manor drove along the cobblestone road, making a dull, rhythmic sound on the stones, like a melodious ancient tune.

The vehicle travels through quiet alleyways, sometimes crossing ancient stone bridges, sometimes skimming over peaceful squares, moving forward under this dreamlike starry sky, like an eternal fairy tale unfolding endlessly in the night.

Inside the carriage, Zestellia had already fallen asleep with her head resting on Cornelia's lap.

Dekan, however, still gazed at the moon outside the window with a sorrowful expression.

Without anyone noticing, Cornelia had moved a little closer to Dekan.

"Go help Chloex, you used to have so many good ideas, didn't you?"

Cornelia whispered in Dekan's ear.

Even though Dekan later unknowingly became more comedic, she would never forget that Dekan was originally her brain.

"...Stop torturing me."

Dekan covered his face, now looking back on all the crazy things he did in Norton's capital, it was like shooting himself in the foot.

He even fantasized about dragging Clay into causing trouble.

He felt a lingering fear whenever he thought about it.

He almost got himself killed.

"But I believe you can definitely help Chloex."

Cornelia said definitively.

From the first time he met Chloeux, Dekan was helping him.

have to say.

If Doloice and Lenn hadn't started out as enemies, but instead met like two ordinary teenagers at the academy...

It's likely that we can improve our relationship.

"But this time... I really can't help him."

Dekan shook his head helplessly.

This time is different from the past.

When Dekan learned that Chloeux was now caught in a dilemma involving three women, he probably understood.

This predicament is not a romantic comedy by Chloeux.

Rather, it was Chloeux's own inescapable fate—

His love affair will be trapped by an inescapable guilt, just like that of Holy Emperor Lenn.

It all started with some stories about Lenn that Dekan had heard from Talomarty.

Dekan didn't know whether he should tell Chloeux these things.

So far, he hasn't told Chloeux anything.

……

It should be noted that in his previous life, Lunen was a nobleman from the northern border territory of the Holy Kingdom.

His exceptional talent made him a formidable foe to the demons in his early years.

The demons naturally knew that Lunen was not easy to deal with... so they would keep an eye on any possible way to defeat Lunen.

During his youth, Lunen faced the biggest upheaval in his life when the territory of his fiancée's family was invaded by demons.

His childhood friends all perished tragically in the rampage of the demon race before they could even see him.

no doubt.

The fiancée of Lenn corresponds to Claire's older sister, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Prin family in the current Norton Kingdom.

According to Talomaty, Lenn later learned that his fiancée, who was also his childhood sweetheart, chose to commit suicide when the demons attacked the town so as not to be captured by the demons and become a burden to him.

The reason this story circulated among demons and humans was that Irenos, the Destroyer who destroyed that town, deliberately let some survivors go.

Irenos wanted these desperate people to tell Lenn the truth and the whole story, in order to shake and torment Lenn's mind.

Therefore, it's hard for Talomatti to imagine how Len felt when Delois set a trap and gave him the opportunity to torture Irenos with his own hands.

However, Talomatti said this: "Len would never have allowed you to build an energy station on the northern border using living organisms as energy, but you just happened to capture Irenos... Of course, this may all have been part of your plan."

Dekan couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, in this life, we nipped Bishop Evans in the bud before he could fully develop."

Talomatti felt that something was off after listening to it.

It seems that back in Tristine City you were at Tier 3, while Evans was already at Tier 8?

I can only say he truly lives up to his brother's reputation.

But regardless of whether the great revenge has been taken,

The pain in Lunn's heart can never be erased.
