It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

But that elusive and evil doll that always leaves people helpless.

-

Shadows roam this overly elaborate courtyard.

Compared with the dignified atmosphere in Faustene, the stronghold of the Mephisto family, the White Rose Manor belonging to Belusay is just like its name, delicate and delicate like dewy petals.

In the night, you can vaguely see the Rococo-style main building with a rounded outline, the stained glass reflecting the moonlight, the fine shells covered on the ground, the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers and water vapor, and the elegant terrace located in the center of the courtyard.

The puppet walks to the bottom of the pavilion where the terrace is, and the lifeless and inhuman atmosphere blends with the surrounding environment.

She frowned and sat on the stone pier.

In front of the shadow is a stone table made into a chessboard and chess pieces made of precious metals.

To be honest, this is really not a place suitable for recuperation, and she can still recall old Belusay's ashen face when she and Hyde appeared in the manor together.

And a host of emotions, including but not limited to sneering, dismay, dismissive or gloating glances—they're all kinds, but there's nothing positive or benevolent about them.

But despite this, the waiters and wizards received the puppet lady who was a member of the alliance and a distinguished guest with impeccable etiquette.

She turned her glass eyeballs and looked at an area on the edge of the courtyard.It was the place where the core members of the family were buried. The old man who accompanied the envoy did not leave a body, but at Hyde's request, Belusay still left his token and name in that place.

But even the old man who was so loyal to the Belusay family and was even willing to give his life.Wouldn't you agree with their current relationship?

Shadow picked up a chess piece on the chessboard, and she suddenly felt that she began to understand Hyde a little bit.

She was once fortunate enough to visit the dream world of those three guys from the perspective of a bystander at the edge of the dreamland.

For the sake of pure interests or some kind of abstract glory, he pretends to be obedient and humble on the surface, and no one will seriously consider what he wants without sincere communication.

If he grew up in such an environment, Hyde's bad personality and almost pathological way of attracting attention back then would seem perfectly natural.It's better to say that the guy hasn't gone crazy or been influenced by a deeper level, and he can already be said to have a strong ego.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth not only raised, revealing that iconic malicious smile.

It's challenging and fun to play with a guy like that, isn't it?

As for the opinions of old Belusay or others, they are not within the scope of Shadow's consideration at all.In a sense, she is also somewhat similar to these belusays, but at a completely different extreme.

Shadow's actions are also entirely based on personal interests and pleasure, but she never bothers to hide anything.She is not indifferent to human emotions, but willingly participates in them and enjoys teasing others.

This made her look forward to the next day so much for the first time in thousands of years that she even forgot the sleep time she never missed.

Valentine's Day

Hyde got up early in the morning, which was quite unusual for him.In this family, as a core member, he has a fairly strict work and rest schedule.

This is to ensure a relatively healthy body.

Although not as extreme as the Mephistos, the core members of the Belusay family are at least well-rounded in a general sense.At least it won't be like Ella a few years ago, once she can't use magic, she is completely useless.

Specifically, once a certain point is reached, a servant in charge of this job will ring a bell to wash and dress someone who is half asleep and send him to the breakfast room.

According to Hyde's habit, unless there is something urgent, he usually sleeps until 5 minutes before ringing the bell.Complete the preparations in advance, then pick up a book of poems and wait calmly.

The time now is early five o'clock, and there is still nearly an hour and a half until the time to ring the bell.

The fully dressed boy stood in front of the gate leading to the courtyard, and signaled the servant who brought the key to leave.

Ignoring the latter's surprised look, he slowly bent down and put one eye on the keyhole, trying to observe the scene in the courtyard through the narrow gap.

There is a strange saying in Scotland that the first creature you see through the keyhole on February [-]th, the morning of St. Valentine's Day, will determine whether your relationship will be smooth in the coming year.

If you see a solitary person, you will be celibate for the next year.

If you see a companion, you will find a lover in the coming year.

If you see a rooster and a hen, they will get married before Christmas the following year.

Although this kind of poultry would not be raised in the White Rose Manor, Hyde had already fed some white pigeons in advance, which probably barely met the above conditions.

It's a bit funny to say, because most traditional wizards are quite superstitious just because they are in awe of the unknown mystery.

As for Hyde, although his excellent knowledge of mysticism made him understand that there is nothing reliable in it, he still has an ambiguous fluke mentality.

Hyde doesn't mind being a little finicky, at least when the claims are in his own interest.

But what appeared opposite the keyhole at this time was something that had nothing to do with the above three - it was a green pupil.

The distance between the two eyes at this time is only a few centimeters.

Hyde was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. He had just floated up from that ghostly place for more than a month, and now he was a little nervous.Almost wanted to subconsciously throw a few spells over.

He quickly woke up. This manor was protected by powerful magic, and it was impossible for malicious creatures to invade silently.

And that glassy turquoise pupil is so familiar, the only one who can do such silly pranks is that guy. ?

This made his mood a little complicated for a while. Although it is not bad to see each other for the first time on such a day, seeing one eye is exactly what kind of situation.

never mind--

"It's just unfounded superstition."

Hyde said to himself.

-

Still a day of no progress.

None of the hints, temptations or outright invitations he gave in his words received any clear response.

The other party always maintained that strange expression that was half-smiling but not smiling, which made him itch with hatred.

"So what's the use of you giving me such a thing?"

Shadow played with the sunflower branch that hadn't fully bloomed yet, with that kind of nasty smirk still on the corner of his mouth.

"You should know what I like. This kind of fancy thing is not as real as a piece of cake. At least I can taste a little-but I heard that people in the Far East make sunflower seeds into food. I may ask when I have time later. Ling, don’t let it go to waste.”

Hyde felt his eyelids twitch a few more times, and he was even about to cramp.This is also a certain kind of tradition, and he also deliberately selected the breed with the same initials as the other party's name, but he still got this kind of answer in which direction he didn't know.

Compared with Shadow, his level of provocation is really not enough. At least the latter will get tired while the puppet is completely tireless.

He couldn't help thinking about the failure in the morning, maybe that would indeed affect the emotional success of the whole year in the future.

No matter how she does it...

-

Just before Hyde thought about it, and wanted to lie decadently on the stone table, his chin was picked up by his soft fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the sudden cold touch made him freeze in place. After all preparations and plans were disrupted, this kind of victory without warning made him lose his sense of reality at all.

"How about going to the night market in Paisley Town with me at night, I heard that there will be some celebrations there."

The puppet whistled briskly, and the tone became a little ambiguous.Offer an invitation condescendingly.

"Paisley Town...Unfortunately, they probably won't let me leave the manor until I'm fully recovered."

Hyde's eyes lit up first, but then he shook his head.

Most of his previous plans were activities that could be carried out in the manor.

After the day of ascension, Hyde, who was found to be severely damaged in strength and various bodily functions, was restricted from moving, and he was not able to participate in such a big event as Williams and the others going to see Kleist.

"Please—no way."

The puppet looked him up and down with green eyes, and sighed exaggeratedly.

"Then you've been busy all day, and you just want to ask me to take a walk in this suffocating place?"

"...Or do you actually want to take things a step further and start some weird indoor entertainment?"

She looked contemptuously at the blond boy who was hit on the head one more than herself,

"Let's not say that I don't have that strange function for the time being, you can't do anything with your current appearance, right?"

Hyde didn't realize the meaning of the other party for a short time, and coughed a few times in embarrassment after a few seconds.

The puppet continued to bewitch him.

"Do what you want to do. Your actions at the time were not completely reckless. At least I don't think there is any need for you to stay in this place and calm down."

"But......"

"It's nothing but, don't worry about what is there and what is not. What I want to ask now is your personal opinion - what do you want to do now?"

This kind of words is something that Hyde has never heard in the past ten years of his life. Before that, everyone asked him how to keep calm, stay good, and become the most perfect player.Perhaps what Shadow said was unreasonable and did not conform to the interests and logic of the majority.

But that was exactly what he longed to hear.

Thinking of this, Hyde grinned and lowered his voice to ask back.

"So... do you have any way to bypass the surveillance barrier at White Rose Manor?"

"Of course, I spent the whole night in the courtyard looking for flaws, it's just...you need to disguise, it's a necessary sacrifice."

So the two guys with ulterior motives got together and started plotting quietly.

-

As for Hyde Belusay's regret after witnessing this vile doll, wigs and women's clothing that he found out of nowhere, is another matter.

Because the author is busy celebrating his birthday in 2.14, I split part of the extra chapter into 2.15, hehehe.It’s a belated Valentine’s Day blessing, right?

Chapter 36 The End of an Era

"Kleist is dead?"

The girl's inadvertent murmur quickly swept through the entire hall like a hurricane, making the originally noisy environment suddenly silent.

All of a sudden, the magic apprentices and school staff who were active in the main castle of Glamis stopped breathing, and the space in Nuoda immediately fell into a deathly silence.

Even as a joke, this kind of thing is a bit ridiculous. The century-old legend, recognized as the most powerful human wizard in the world - died like this?

Ling, who was about to say something, was stunned for a few seconds before holding Ella's hand and asking in a low voice,

"You killed him? Didn't he get hurt?"
