Lit, who was lying on the edge of the bed, was secretly complaining in his heart.

She had vaguely woken up just after Olivia came in, but she didn't show it and continued to pretend to be asleep.

After all, in Orson's eyes, he had really fallen asleep just now. With his cover, he could eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people openly.

Although there is a sense of humiliation that the real husband has to hide under the bed and listen to the original wife flirting with the yellow-haired man.

"How about you? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I have fully recovered. Thanks to Lord Ostia, I am no longer afraid of wind and snow."

As she said this, Olivia showed off the sapphire pendant on her chest.

"That's a good thing, but we probably won't be going to Lapland very often in the future."

"Yes." Olivia sighed when she heard Orson say that. "But it's better to have it than not. This can be regarded as a memorial left by Master Ostia in the world."

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"By the way, Orson, when I was possessed, some memories suddenly appeared in my mind, some of which were about you."

"about me?"

When Orson heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.

And Lit, who was lying next to the two men, also pricked up his ears.

"But, this is not a good place to talk right now. I'll tell you when we return to Saint Laurent City." Olivia glanced at Litt with a smile in her eyes, then reached out and rubbed Litt's little head.

Litt hated being rubbed on the head by anyone other than Orson, especially Olivia. However, since she chose to pretend to be asleep, she could only endure it.

"Okay." Orson also glanced at Litt. From her frowning expression, he could guess that she was probably awake at the moment. "Let's talk about it after we go back in two days."

"Well...I want to sleep here with you tonight, is that okay?"

At this moment, Olivia suddenly said something that made Litt's inner alert level rise wildly.

"Uh... this isn't very appropriate. After all, Leeteuk is still here."

"But I see this bed is quite big, wouldn't it be fine if I sleep inside it?"

Olivia said this and pointed to the empty space inside.

Orson was in a dilemma for a moment.

"We are an engaged couple, but why do we sometimes feel like we're not as good as friends?" Olivia lowered her head and pointed with her fingers.

Orson couldn't stand Olivia's coquettish behavior in front of him, so he had to surrender for a moment.

"Well... you can, but we are outside after all, and there are many classmates around. That kind of thing... it would be embarrassing if we were discovered."

"Of course I know." Olivia nodded, then looked at Orson with a puzzled look.

"I just want to sleep with you, Orson. It's a bit cold here, and it's warmer if we squeeze together. Orson, do you think I want to do that?"

Seeing Olivia's smirk as if her strategy of playing hard to get had worked, Orson could only retort a few words stubbornly.

"No... No, I thought so too, but it's easy to be criticized after all."

"Isn't it normal for an unmarried couple to do this? Why would they be criticized?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Orson's eyes wandered around.

"I don't know if I sleep well or not, you can't regret it later."

"No~" Olivia said this, crawling from the foot of the bed to the inside of the bed, and then resting her head on Orson's shoulder.

"Well, Orson, good night."

As she said this, she pecked Orson's cheek lightly, then leaned against Orson and closed her eyes.

At this moment, Litt, who was standing next to the two of them, almost bit his back teeth to pieces.

She suddenly felt that the bottom of the bed was the best place for her.

Chapter 31: You don’t want me to be alone, do you?

Two more days passed, and after all the students who had been injured in the previous battle had recovered, Triss and Hecatia led the two classes of students back south.

Of course, the so-called two classes refer to the entire Class 1, Grade 2, plus the Leeteuk trio from Class 1, Grade 1.

The other first-year students did not choose to meddle in other people's business. After completing their tasks, they waited for everyone's return at the post station on the border between Lapland and Lucia.

They walked for several days, and when the second graders returned to the place where they started, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The dilapidated inn with only a few small rooms has now completely changed after being renovated by the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the post station in the center being transformed into a caravan trading and registration platform, there are also several warehouses for storing goods and supplies. In addition, the Lison Chamber of Commerce also plans to develop tourism here in the future, so it has arranged a fairly large reception center, that is, a hotel, in advance.

The area around the hotel is fully equipped with all kinds of supporting facilities, and it has completely turned into a small town with a strong commercial atmosphere.

It is hard to imagine that all these changes happened in less than two months.

Of course, the Lison Chamber of Commerce does this not only to better develop and utilize the commercial value of Lapland in the future, but also for another purpose, which is to show the strength of the Lison Chamber of Commerce to the students.

You know, although there are many students in the Imperial Academy who are of commoner origin, most of them come from wealthy families. Even if we leave aside the children of royal dukes such as Elsa, Orson, and Olivia, most of the children of earls and barons also go to school here.

Especially the first class of the two grades, which gathered a large number of geniuses. These people either had powerful families now or had extraordinary potential in the future. Leaving a good impression on them in advance would make it much easier for the Lison Chamber of Commerce to deal with them in the future.

This was one of the reasons why Chelinina acted quickly after Orson told her.

After all, for businessmen, connections are often equivalent to priceless treasures.

With connections, you will have friends everywhere and there will be people to support you wherever you do business. You will naturally be able to develop. Otherwise, you will easily run into obstacles everywhere.

The reason why the Lison Chamber of Commerce was suppressed by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce in various places in the beginning was because the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had accumulated a lot of connections after its development, and it was able to use those connections to compete with the Lison Chamber of Commerce in various places. However, in the end, the merchants chose interests and stood on the side of the Lison Chamber of Commerce.

"Orson, didn't you instruct Sister Chelinina to do all this?" After moving into the room in the guesthouse, Litt asked Orson beside him.

The rooms in the guesthouse are not like those built in the north, which can only keep out the cold. In addition to the internal central heating to ensure that the overall temperature in the room is maintained at a comfortable level for the human body, the guesthouse is also equipped with some simple entertainment facilities and even hot springs, which is unimaginable in the snowy fields of Lapland.

"I just gave Chelinina a suggestion. She will eventually develop the Chamber of Commerce here in the future. Fur is very valuable, so it's not wrong to plan ahead."

"It's just that she seems to have misunderstood what I meant. She made this place a bit too luxurious..." Orson was somewhat emotional about Chelinina's high-profile move to build the Chamber of Commerce Station.

It’s not that I think Chelinina is extravagant, but I feel that her actions seem to be a deliberate attempt to please me.

However, objectively speaking, it did leave a good impression on the students of the two classes, and the potential benefits it brought were indeed greater than the investment in building the station.

"Well, do you want to go take a hot spring bath today? I heard that the colder the place, the more beneficial the hot spring is to the human body." Li Te suggested.

"Sure." Orson nodded. "But we have to go to the bar separately?"

"You mean, you want me to go to the girls' hot spring?" asked Li Te.

"Of course." Orson replied as a matter of course.

"Of course not!" Li Te refused loudly.

"why?"

"Orson, you know I'm a girl, but they don't know it yet! If I go to a girls' hot spring, I'll either be considered a pervert or my identity will be exposed."

"What's the big deal? Anyway, there's no need for you to hide your identity now, right?"

The reason why Li Te concealed her identity was to find out why she was mistaken for a boy at that time.

You know, no matter how urgent the situation is, a person's gender will not be wrong after being born. There must be a reason why she was declared to be a boy.

She wanted to ask Giovanni in person what had happened.

However, after Giovanni's death, there was no way to know any of this.

Perhaps the guards who escorted her at the time deliberately confused Giovanni in order to save himself, but all this can only be a guess.

There are some things in the world that are mysteries that can never be solved in a lifetime. After being sad for a while, Litt let it go.

The reason why I still don’t clarify my gender is mainly because…

got used to.

She was used to being treated as a boy in front of outsiders, and was also used to living as a prince in the Dukedom of Antica.

If she were to suddenly tell everyone that she was a girl, not only would her father be unable to accept it for a while, but outsiders would also think that this was a big joke of Antica.

Lucius, who was wise all his life, couldn't even figure out the gender of his own child. Isn't this a joke?

She was willing to make these sacrifices for the sake of her father's reputation.

Anyway, in Litt's opinion, as long as Orson knows that he is a girl and is willing to treat him as a girl and get along with him, it will be fine.

In addition, her adoptive parents would hardly tell anyone that she was a girl, and the teachers, Virgil and others who knew about this were also tight-mouthed.

That'll be fine.

Moreover, if Olivia knew that I was a girl, wouldn't she forbid me from interacting with Orson every minute? Although even as a "boy", Olivia had already been alert to me.

Thinking of these reasons, Li Te shook his head.

"No, my father will be laughed at if I reveal my identity."

"...That's right." Upon hearing this, Orson sighed helplessly.

"So that means you can only bathe in boys' hot springs?"

"Yeah." Li Te nodded, his face full of anticipation.

"Of course! Orson, you don't want me to soak in the pool alone, right?"

Chapter 32: The Two's Hot Spring Talk

There are three types of hot springs in the guesthouse, two of which are for men and women to soak in separately, and the other is a private hot spring that requires paying a certain price to soak in.

At this moment, in the private hot spring, Litt was wrapped in a bath towel. He tapped the surface of the hot spring pool with his white and smooth feet. After confirming that the temperature was suitable, he walked in alone in silence.

Then she buried half of her head in the hot spring pool, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

She glanced at the door from time to time, with a hint of anticipation in her mood.

After all, since Orson and I met, we have never taken a bath together.

If Orson came in later and his brain became fuzzy due to the steam in the hot spring room, would he lose his temper and kill himself?

Li Te couldn't help but imagine that scene in his mind.

"Oh, that's not possible, Orson. Although we are not siblings in blood or in name only, I still treat you as my brother. We can only do this kind of thing after we have confirmed our relationship..."

Li Te covered his face, twisted his body in the hot spring, and talked to himself.

"Leet, are you okay?"

At this time, Orson's voice suddenly came from beside Litt.

Litt was stunned, then looked at Orson next to him with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Um, Orson...why didn't you make any steps when you came in?"

"Of course you can't walk without shoes." Orson said as a matter of course. "But you, Lit, have been talking to yourself since just now. Are you confused?"

"No, no, I just came in not long ago, I'm not confused at all."

"Okay." Orson nodded, then tested the water temperature next to the hot spring pool and soaked in the pool, but he deliberately stayed away from Litt.

This, coupled with the fog that was hanging over the water, meant that Orson couldn't see Leet at all.

When Leeteuk first suggested that they go out for a date, Orson refused.

After all, there are differences between men and women.

But Orson couldn't resist Litt's constant nagging and pretending to be pitiful, so he had no choice but to agree to be with Litt.

Otherwise, she would have to take a bath alone.

When Litt saw that Orson deliberately sat much further away from him after entering the hot spring, he immediately became dissatisfied.

In this case, what’s the difference between being alone and being alone?

"Orson!"

So, Li Te had no choice but to speak with some dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong?" Orson responded from a distance.

"Don't you think that taking a hot spring bath like this is no different from taking a bath alone?"
