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

Jill thought: This is probably the kind of scene where "famous professors come to teach and the school is full", right?

Thanks to this, Seraphim has become the "focus" in Gil's pyroxene class - everyone has been asking this saint lady what kind of existence the elders of the high elves are.

Are they typical old grandpa and grandma? Or are they beautiful girls who look eternally youthful?

What magical powers do the elders possess? Rumors within the capital state that the elders of the High Elves can even converse with animals, learning the mysteries of every corner of the world through the lives of the creatures around them...

is this real?

Seraphim was immediately entangled with him, and there was no need for Miss Karen to keep a close eye on him. She couldn't find a chance to be alone with him for a while.

And Xilin couldn't sit idle either. The appearance of Elder Melm, especially his decision to give lectures at the Pyroxene Magic Academy, made Xilin, the little princess, busy and ready to take on the responsibility of "welcoming" him.

It is very suitable for Xilin's identity.

Even though Luvilia has already resigned from her duties as a knight princess, she cannot just leave him alone this time - Luvilia herself is a daughter of a noble, so naturally she has to accompany him.

The two were soon called to the palace for discussion, which naturally had nothing to do with Jill, who was still in the process of "reformation".

In other words: In the next few days, apart from studying time with Xilin...

I spend all my time in the dormitory alone.

Gil always felt that this was "arranged" by Elder Melm, but now he had no other choice.

That evening.

Xilin, who was about to leave to return to the palace to stay temporarily, seemed to have anticipated something. Before leaving, she pouted her lips, lowered her voice, and threatened him.

"Luvlia and I will be back for a few days to welcome the high elf elder."

As for the purpose of the threat, Jill already understood it from the sight of Xilin raising her head and clearly looking towards the attic.

"So, you and Kallen are the only ones left in the dorm, right?"

"Don't harass Miss Karen! A cunning person like you will easily deceive the simple Miss Karen!"

"After I'm done welcoming the High Elf Elder, I'll verify this with Miss Kallen! You'd better be careful!"

Jill felt bitter after hearing this, but he could only force out a bitter smile, while assuring himself: My relationship with Miss Karen is so dull, how could we possibly have anything in common?

While silently adding in my heart: Simple?

This is really weird. This is just as outrageous as what Celine said about herself being a "simple, kind-hearted princess" - Jill had already come to a conclusion after interacting with these blond, blue-eyed, long-legged elves during this period: How could these elves be simple?

Everyone has their own little thoughts, even Miss Karen...

Jill rubbed his forehead and thought: This is no exception - Karen must be hiding something from him, today, right now.

Sure enough, at the same time that Xilin and Luvilia had just left, Jill had already sensed the movement coming from the attic.

Turning around, he found that Kallen was walking cautiously from the attic stairs to the second floor of the dormitory like a thief. She was more concerned about the departure of Silin and Luvilia than he was.

It was as if she had been waiting for this moment, and she even had to carefully confirm it with Jill.

"Jill, they..."

"Sirin and Luvilia will return to the palace for a few days to prepare for Elder Melm's 'arrival'."

As Gil answered, he took a deep look at the elf girl who finally "felt relieved" and appeared in front of him.

She looked completely guilty, hiding something on her mind, and at this point, it wasn't difficult for Jill to guess Kallen's somewhat "girlish" reaction.

"It's the same as you high elves arranged, isn't it? Why are you so nervous, Kallen?"

The arrival of "Elder Melm" must have been news that the other party deliberately revealed, otherwise Jill could not imagine why the elder would tolerate "his whereabouts being revealed."

Although Elder Melm's purpose in doing this was a bit outrageous, Jill could only get one answer: he was targeting him.

It was to see him alone and without the interference of others.

It was obvious that Elder Melm had only met him once before at Dean Luoyi's place. How could he know about his accommodation situation and the "interference" of other girls around him?

So, the answer is not difficult to guess.

"Ms. Kallen, you revealed this to Elder Melm, right?"

Jill asked aloud.

They had clearly agreed to deal with Elder Melm's "companion" together, but now Kallen was having a private conversation with Elder Melm...

How could this prevent Elder Melm from knowing about his situation as a "fake young master"?

Jill could only lower her voice and said helplessly: "You... really have given up on cooperating with us?"

164. I Got It! Kallen’s Secret is Twins!

This elf girl, who had always been able to remain mature, calm and steady, and who had been responsible for "enlightening Dean Luo Yi" even after the school lost the festival, suddenly revealed an anxious look.

Afraid that Jill might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "I...I didn't intend to betray you."

"I have no conflicts with the Elf Saint, and I serve Dean Luo Yi. How could I... do something like betrayal?"

Under the dim light, Kallen's eyes were uncertain, as if she was struggling with some "difficult decision".

"It's just that Elder Melm seems... unexpectedly interested in you, and given Elder Melm's status within the tribe, it's impossible for me to... go against her request, right?"

Biting his lip, a soft sigh was heard.

Finally, he raised his head timidly, clearly admitting his mistake and acting coquettishly.

"So I can only tell Elder Melm about your living conditions. Naturally... this also includes Princess Silin and the others..."

"So, Elder Melm decided to use the method you know to temporarily gain the opportunity to meet with you alone."

"After all, if you don't do this... your frequent meetings with us high elves will surely be discovered, right?"

It’s true~Karen didn’t live in this attic for nothing, she understands him very well, right?

Jill thought.

But: Why did he smell a "sour smell" just now?

Ms. Karen, do you care?

When he looked up, he found: It actually... seemed to be true.

After Kallen added a sentence, it was even more like that.

"Besides, you seemed pretty close to Seraphim this morning, didn't you?"

"If I hadn't appeared to warn you, everyone in the academy would have noticed what you and Seraphim were doing. If you and Seraphim get too close in this atmosphere, it will put Elder Melm in a difficult position."

"So, I didn't deliberately arrange or disturb you..."

Saying that, he took a step forward.

This was not Jill's illusion: after Silin and Luvilia left, the originally "harmonious" atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became a little weird and dangerous due to his and Kallen's current state.

After all, where had Jill ever seen Kallen in such a "girly" manner?

After raising her head, her moist eyes looked over with great concern.

"Jill, what do you think of Seraphim?"

Obviously, this should have nothing to do with the meeting with Elder Melm, but Kallen was still eager to confirm with him.

Out of...what kind of idea?

This was not the time for Gil to think slowly, he could only answer based on his instinct.

"Friends, right?"

Then, fearing that Kallen might misunderstand the word "friend" as something strange, he quickly added, "The ordinary kind."

I thought: We are all in the same boat now, he can’t say that Seraphim is the enemy, right?

And this answer seemed to finally make Kallen feel relieved.

Thus, the girl’s previous “confusion” seemed to have an answer, and she mustered up the courage to speak.

"In that case... if you don't want to go against your plan to reform and attack Elder Melm later, you can... ignore Seraphi's plan and tell Elder Melm the whole story."

Is this the "proposal" again?

Gil blinked in confusion. Hadn't Kallen hinted at this to him once before? Why was he bringing it up again, as if... Kallen had no idea at all?

But before he could ask, the next moment, Kallen did something even more extreme than just "reminding him" before!

Reach out and grab his wrist!

It seemed like she was just acting recklessly on impulse, but the girl did not seem to regret her impulse at the moment.

Hinting at him, waiting for him.

"I...I understand your desire to reform, so Seraphim's plan is just forcing you."

"Before, I served Dean Roy, so I had no choice but to follow their wishes and ask you to do so. But... after Elder Melm appeared, I felt that I shouldn't involve you."

"I shouldn't have dragged you into the fight between the high elves, especially considering... Dean Roy and Seraphim's identities are so special."

Jill must be an idiot to not understand what this attitude means - isn't this just Karen expressing her affection for him and choosing to secretly protect him?

Of course he could just play dumb and not respond, because Karen's statement was clearly that of a "newbie," and without a "straight shot" there was room for maneuver.

For a moment, Gil was indeed troubled: he had never toyed with Kallen's feelings! Now that Kallen had expressed this, he felt flattered.

Fortunately, Kallen is not like Seraphim and Dean Roy, whose heads are full of ideas on how to deal with him - at least Kallen can communicate.

So, perhaps I should have a conversation with Miss Karen? At least find out why she "likes him"? And then respond?

However, just as Gil was about to say this, Kallen's desperate "explanation" made him stunned!

"You already know what Seraphim's identity is, but... Jill, I'm afraid you still don't know. Actually... what is the status of Dean Roy, whom I serve, among the high elves?"

"Wait, Kallen?"

Didn't you mention this before?

Before Jill could say anything, Kallen continued.

"Why do you think I used the word 'serve'? Because... Dean Luo Yi's status among the high elves makes her worthy of being 'served' by others."

"She's a member of the royal family, and naturally represents the opposite side of the elven saint, Seraphim. In your terms, she should be considered a princess, right?"

Karin looked so courageous that it seemed like she was not just saying it casually, but rather like she had been "holding it in for a long time" and was finally able to reveal her thoughts to him!

But all this made Jill even more bewildered: because, if Dean Roy's identity was indeed a huge secret to Karen, and she would not have confessed it to him until such a situation, then...

What did Kallen's casual remark before mean? Did she let it slip? Did she not take it seriously?

Obviously... this is a secret that requires determination to reveal, right?

For a moment, Jill even forgot the question he should have asked Kallen and was stunned.

However, it did not arouse any suspicion from Karen: after all, in Karen's view, this must be the behavior after "he was frightened by Dean Roy's true identity."

But in fact... it is not at all!

Jill discovered Kallen's inconsistencies and some inexplicable situations.

This doubt can only be verified when we face Elder Melm next time. As for Kallen's "statement" just now...

Although he felt a little sorry for the other person, Gil decided to play dumb - he didn't have the heart to respond right now.

165. The more you struggle, the more excited I am

He slowly bent down, keeping his eyes aligned with Kallen's.

As for "playing dumb"? That was easy enough for Jill.

"Don't worry, Kallen. I'm not a fool. If necessary, I will definitely 'slide to my knees' to Elder Melm."

"As for the 'deal' Elder Melm offered me... ahahaha, come to think of it, there's no way I'd agree to it. Isn't she the most prestigious elder among the high elves?"

Seeing that Karen wanted to say something, as if complaining "why doesn't he understand" - she was just busy talking about the elders, so what about her "determination" just now?
