Chapter 21: She’s Anxious, She’s Very Anxious!

What on earth is going on?

This was the thought in everyone’s mind in the main auditorium.

The hundreds of students from Holy Light University were all dumbfounded.
But there were very few things that could surprise these elites who were able to attend Theology Day.

Most of them, even if they heard that a certain earl was fooling around with a certain baroness every day, playing two rounds of poker whenever they had nothing to do, and even that one time when the baron came back, the earl hid directly under the bed and finally ran away by jumping out the window.

They would only laugh it off, saying what a common operation, they had seen it all.
Perhaps the baron had known all along, but just didn’t show it.

Because this kind of thing was not a novelty in Saint Louis, there was nothing to be surprised about.

But now, really.

They didn’t understand.

They really didn’t understand, they couldn’t understand.

They were even a little numb.

Why would Leticia, who usually didn’t even bother to meet people, take the initiative to invite Hall?

If it was a Saintess candidate like Christine, it would be understandable if she wanted to get closer to the Faxtius family through Hall in advance for next year’s Saintess election.

But Leticia had no such leisure.
They remembered that even when the principal wanted this rose princess to give a speech as a new student representative on the first day of school, this little grandma didn’t give him face.

She didn’t even come to the new student assembly.

This was the style of the Child family.
Leticia could do whatever she wanted.

As long as she wasn’t pointing a sword at several Cardinal Archbishops and saying, “Old men, swallow this thing to liven things up for this young lady.”

No one could do anything to her.
It was said that the new Holy Train railway that the Church was building was a loan from the Central Bank under the Child family.
The various expenses of the emerging Black Knights Order were also all covered by the Child family.

Do you understand the value of being a creditor of the Papal State?

Lenny’s face changed even more.
It became extremely distorted and could not be hidden at all.

He hadn’t even finished being jealous of Christine and Hall’s relationship, and now Leticia jumped out and said she wanted to sit with Hall later.

It was said that every time the real top powerhouses of Saint Louis gathered, the seats on both sides of this rose princess who represented the Child family were empty.

No one sat there.

And according to the eloquent words of the Child family’s head butler, it was “my young lady is shy of strangers.”

To put it bluntly, it was “you stinky old men, can you not get close to my beautiful young lady.”

In this situation, Leticia taking the initiative to let Hall sit next to her, the meaning behind it.

Anyone who knew Leticia’s personality would feel that it was self-evident.

Why? Why was it Hall again?

He was so anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Besides being anxious and jealous, Lenny couldn’t do anything now.

And Himan was staring blankly.
She couldn’t accept it.

She wasn’t jealous of Hall, but hearing Leticia’s words, looking at the rose-colored girl’s expression, and the gesture of her raising her right hand and pointing at Hall with her slender index finger.

She knew that Leticia was serious.

Very serious.

But why?

Why was it Hall?

In Himan’s opinion, Hall was able to hit on many girls purely because of his appearance and his duke background.

For those young noble girls who were only viscounts or barons, it was a dimensional reduction strike.
Plus, Hall’s fashion sense was really good with Lov’s help.

It was not difficult to win the favor of those girls.
But who was Leticia?

A noble among nobles, the object of marriage for all the young masters in Saint Louis and the entire Western Continent.

The princes of the other Western Continent countries were also waiting for this rose princess to come of age, and then pursue her in a not-so-obvious way through various coincidences.

Leticia and Christine were different.

Christine was a Saintess, a person who served God.
Himan wouldn’t worry about her getting close to Hall.

But Leticia was not.
Her family controlled money, which controlled the heaviest desire of people in the mortal world.

She…

or rather, he, could it be…

had he changed again?

How could he be so popular?

He had gained Leticia’s attention, and he was still being toyed with by the female spy from the Xia Kingdom.

Could it be…

Himan was shocked and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Indeed, her uncle did not often return home.
Even if he did, he would not bring confidential military documents home for Hall to access.

So, the target of that female spy from the Xia Kingdom was not the Faxtius family, but actually.

If the other party had Hall pursue Leticia through various sweet words and emotional attacks, it would be too terrifying.

If a conflict broke out between the Western Continental Alliance and the Great Xia, fighting a war would require a large amount of money.

Controlling Leticia through Hall, and then controlling the Child family through Leticia.

The consequences, she dared not imagine.

That’s right, how could her foolish cousin win Leticia’s heart on his own?

There must be a professional team secretly helping him.

Hall was probably enjoying it very much.

For him, hunting for beauties might be the only pursuit in his life.

Himan’s fists clenched!

Correct Hall, he must be corrected!

This was no longer a matter between nobles, but a secret struggle between two continents.

To say who was the most complicated in their heart, it was naturally Hall himself.

If he hadn’t known the game’s plot and his own fate in advance.

Looking at the cute girl wearing a rose-colored dress, a rose-colored hairband, and rose-colored small shoes today, with even a rose-colored bow on top of her white socks, he would definitely have said gentlemanly, “No problem, Miss. Don’t mention sitting next to me, you can even sit on my lap.”

But now, why would Leticia say it so proactively?

She was the princess of the Child family.
Whether in the heroine route where Leticia was the main perspective, or in the heroine route where other female characters were chosen as the heroine.

Whenever a quest involved Leticia, there would always be some male villain who wanted to lay a hand on this little princess.

And in the story, the Child family’s response was very simple.
If the player acted a little slow, they would find that the Child family had acted first.

When they woke up, the relevant quest would be automatically completed, and the player only had to collect the reward.

The people protecting Leticia, from the details, should be more than just that group of female knights.

He didn’t want to die in his sleep without knowing why.

If he agreed to Leticia’s request today, he would be on the Child family’s assassination list tomorrow.

“What’s wrong, Baron Hall? Miss Leticia is inviting you~”

Christine spoke from the side, urging him to make a choice.

The crowd, who was surprised to the point of being numb, also focused their gazes on him.

Not to mention that Leticia was also looking at him.

Waiting for his reply.

Everyone in the audience was waiting for his reply.

But besides Leticia, no one thought Hall would refuse.

Hall was also very conflicted.
If he refused Leticia directly in public, it would make this highly respected young lady lose face.

If he didn’t refuse, he would very likely enter Leticia’s route directly and become an assassination target.

Just then, Himan stood up.

She said.

“Duchess Leticia, please allow me, his older cousin, to refuse this invitation on his behalf.”

She was very anxious!!
