How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

47. I am such a fool?? Oh, it’s okay??

the other side.

After the carriage escorting Jill and Silin had gone far away, Elu ordered the female knight to go back and contact another carriage to pick them up.

During this period?

It was waiting, and by the way, she also wanted to be quiet.

As for the female knights who were supposed to "tie Jill up and send her to the territory she had prepared in advance", Elu could only send them back the way they came and discuss the matter further.

Today is a cloudy day.

It was not until the dark clouds covered the morning sun and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky that Elu, who was already a little hungry, boarded the carriage that slowly drove back to the royal capital.

The first time I prepared a plan seriously and wanted to "take action" seriously... it failed.

However, at this moment, Elu was not as depressed and complaining as she was in the past. Her body swayed slightly as the carriage moved, but what she was thinking about was the scenes that had just happened outside the royal capital.

She had full confidence that she could get rid of that yellow-haired young master. Humph... that kind of scum, could he resist her as long as she threatened him casually?

The young master with a bad record should live under her supervision and care, and she should slowly discover the "little" shining point in this man.

Unfortunately, her perfect plan was disrupted and stopped by Xilin who suddenly broke in.

After all, her sister must have some leverage in the hands of that yellow-haired young master, and she must have been threatened, so she had to stand up and speak for Jill.

It was right to disobey and even target her, his sister, with pyroxene magic.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Elu sighed - under normal circumstances, she would have already convinced herself with this reason.

But this time it's a little different.

“Right…right?”

Thinking back to what had just happened, Elu's mind, which had been unable to completely "calm down", was once again in suspense.

His brows furrowed. If he could no longer make such a simple judgment as before, then...

"wrong."

That's really not right!

Elu bit her lip and suddenly sat up straight!

The suspicion in his heart grew more and more! Almost from the moment he brought Jill outside the capital today!

She felt something was wrong!

If Xilin was really threatened by Jill, and if Jill had some "holdover or little secret of Xilin", then why did she "succumb to Jill's silver power" and come to protect Jill today?

Moreover, by the time Jill realized her purpose, it was obvious that he no longer had the opportunity to "threaten" Xilin and ask Xilin to help him stop her.

"Sirin showed up to protect Jill." At the time, she was so angry at her sister's stupid behavior that she didn't care at all. Now, thinking about it carefully, Elu felt that Sirin's behavior was very unreasonable!

Unless... Xilin was not "forced" to appear at all, but knew about it "in advance" and appeared "actively"!

Then... doesn't this mean that her sister's behavior just now wasn't because she was threatened, but... she was actively protecting her own shortcomings!?

Elu bit her fingernails subconsciously.

Because: If you don't think about it, then don't think about it. Once you take this fact as a premise, then many unexpected situations that puzzled her will have the most reasonable explanation.

Why did Jill step in to stop Xilin when she was almost in danger because of her negligence?

He is obviously a rich young master, why should he care about the life and death of the little princess he threatened?

That's because Jill wasn't threatening Xilin at all, right? Jill was... actively protecting Xilin!

Then, it was more than just now.

Even more recently, the scenes that happened to Jill all had the most reasonable explanations!

"Xilin took the initiative to give her place to Jill..."

Elu muttered to herself.

And then, further ahead...

"Did Xilin also take the initiative to bring Jill back from the border..."

There were no threats, no coercion, it was all "Celin wanted to do this."

What if we go further?

Elu suddenly remembered: Jill had harassed the girls in the royal city. This kind of bad behavior was indeed true - her sister Xilin was also one of the people who was harassed most frequently by Jill!

But until the end, Xilin did not suffer any irreparable "harm" - although they were a little rude to Xilin, the elders still secretly "checked" Jill after he was sent to the border for reform.

When necessary, Jill is ready to take charge.

In other words: Jill harassed Xilin for so long, but actually... did nothing!

Even if Ailu didn't understand men, she knew some basic "physiological knowledge"! How could this be possible for a "young master"?

Her sister wasn't ugly at all! She was just a little flat at best.

unless……

Unless there is only one possibility...

A reason that is a bit outrageous, but can reasonably explain everything that happened today and before.

Elu's hands had already clenched secretly.

I wanted to smile, but my heart couldn't, and ended up with an expression that must have looked funny to outsiders.

She had already guessed it.

Okay...Okay! Jill! You, you are like this!

Elu should have been happy with this answer! But at this moment, she felt an unprecedented irritation and unwillingness!

Finally he laughed, but it was a sneer.

Talk to yourself.

"Jill...you don't think you can fool me, do you?"

"Haha, now I want to see how you can refuse me in the future..."

Elu's mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

Yet she was also incredibly...excited! Even the failure of her plan to "kidnap Jill" didn't matter to her—a blessing in disguise.

the other side.

It was time for Xilin to go to the academy for class today - after all, the course schedule for each grade in the Pyroxene Magic Academy was different.

As a princess knight, Luvilia went to Sirin's bedroom as usual.

However, this time, what greeted her was not Xilin's sleeping face, nor the slightly dull and awkward atmosphere that made both of them unsure how to start a conversation, but...

The head maid is cleaning the room.

Although she didn't see Xilin, Luvilia didn't feel "panic". On the contrary, some speculations in her mind made her already irritable and chaotic mood suddenly become excited!

Even the connected voice inevitably trembled a little!

"Maid, head maid, where is Silin?"

The head maid's answer was even more accurate, hitting the nail on the head that made Luvilia most "excited"!

"The little princess left early this morning. By the way, let me tell you: please ask for her leave from the academy classes today."

"..."

Luvilia forgot to respond to the head maid for a moment.

She wasn't worried at all about Xilin's disappearance without a reason, because... of course she knew where Xilin had gone and what she had done.

There is only one possibility: in order to prevent Jill from revealing his own handle, he had to go to Her Royal Highness the Princess to snatch Jill away and leave behind Jill who was about to be taken away by the Princess!

Even if it was a young master who bullied and harassed her, Xilin could only protect Jill now.

This feeling of being able to do something but still having to give in...

Just by thinking about it, Luvilia felt her body trembling with excitement - this was exactly the feeling she wanted to experience, making her whole body "awake" at this moment, like a long drought finally ending in a downpour!

"...Luvlia, what's wrong with you?"

"No...it's okay, I'll ask for leave for the little princess."

Subconsciously answering the head maid's question, the girl turned around and staggered away as if in a trance.

Moreover, this time, "that feeling" came quickly and went away even quickly.

Just as Luvilia was about to savor the experience, she felt "uninspired".

The girl felt that she knew this feeling very well.

It's called "dissatisfaction".

There will be new illustrations in the next few days, so stay tuned.

Next month I think we can start a chapter on character portrait voting, where the number of comments will determine whose character will be featured.

There will also be a monthly ticket lottery next month, so please follow me.

48. I am a student of the same grade

This time, Gil was inevitably injured in the eldest princess's plot, but the female doctor did not lie because she wanted to take revenge on him.

It was really just an accidental injury - Jill felt that as long as he applied some medicine and slept on his stomach tonight, he would be able to roll around on the ground again the next day.

So, when the two people in the infirmary finally finished their business at the moment when the drizzle outside the window stopped, Xilin went to the sink to rinse her mouth and muttered...

"I've taken a day off today and don't have to go to the academy. Do you want me to come to your place and help you apply the medicine?"

Jill declined without a second thought.

"No need, it's not like I can't reach it."

As he spoke, he demonstrated his body flexibility and coordination to Xilin - shouldn't it be easy to reach the back?

"Tsk...then go to hell!"

As a result, Xilin, who had just washed her hands, stepped on the cat's tail and splashed water on his face! With a low roar of anger, she slammed the door and walked out.

She did what she should do and also did what she shouldn't do. Why is this female devil princess still so difficult to deal with?

Even though Jill thought this, he couldn't yet "let go completely." This was because Princess Elu had only "let him go temporarily" today, and the whole matter wasn't over yet.

As soon as Jill returned to her residence, she saw a bunch of maids busy inside and outside the dormitory - going in and out, but this time they were not moving things into the dormitory, on the contrary: they were taking away all the daily necessities of the eldest princess.

Immediately afterwards, the maids also conveyed to him the news that "the princess will no longer live here from today onwards" and asked him to go to the academy tomorrow.

Given Jill's current position, she has no right to refuse.

The next day, morning.

At the request of Princess Elu, Jill came to the "Academy" not far from his residence.

There is more than one academy in the capital of the Kingdom of Yalilo, but Elu, Xilin and others also mentioned it. The "academy" mentioned by everyone basically refers to the Wang Lihuishi Magic Academy.

After all, Pyroxene magic is the most mainstream magic method learned by humans in the kingdom, and there are also many children of nobles and royals who study in the Pyroxene Magic Academy.

While the quality of education is certainly important, the environment is equally important. Those who attend so-called "private schools" without interacting with their peers often become self-sufficient and become narrow-minded.

The eldest and youngest princesses of the kingdom are also students at the academy.

The thought of meeting the eldest princess again gave Gil a headache - the only thing he was thankful for was that Xilin had taken a day off yesterday and had to attend classes today, so she couldn't go with him.

Thanks to this, Jill was finally able to meet Elu alone.

At this moment, inside the academy.

According to the students in the college, it is a place similar to the "Student Union".

In one of the gardens, when Jill opened the fence and walked in, the kingdom's eldest princess, Elu, was sitting there alone drinking tea.
