Chapter 13: Journey of Azure (Part 2)
"President, I have a question. Why does Situ Ming use this kind of method to enhance relationships? Don't you think it would make people dislike him even more?" Hanya had always been silent, but she was doubtful about the reasons behind this.
The footage was picked up by Hanya last night from a scene where there was nobody around and dark purple flames were burning everywhere. She was one of the first people to see the footage, and in her daily life, there was no shortage of people who expressed their love for her. No matter how she understood it, she couldn't figure out why kidnapping was used as a way to show affection.
"Do you really think this guy is showing his love? Don't be silly. Situ Ming is arrogant, but he isn't a fool. Showing affection in this way would only have the opposite effect. He knows that very well. But his reason for doing this is to cover up his desire for revenge. Revenge for a year ago, when I firmly rejected him despite his strong advances, even in front of thousands of people. This made the usually proud young master Situ lose face in front of everyone and severely damaged his arrogant pride."
"If that's the case, his goal this time must be to bring the president into his sphere of influence and let him be manipulated."
"Absolutely, since Situ Ming knows that my family is far away from here, he has no fear."
Hanya nodded and suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, President, have you ever thought about whether your fiancé has other fiancées?"
Huh? Why did the topic come back to the president's fiancé again?
The president suddenly stopped walking, looking surprised as she heard the question about her fiancé cheating.
"Does this question have anything to do with this incident?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"Curious, huh? Since when has our proud 'First Knight' become so curious?"
"..." Hanya realized that something was off and her face turned red with embarrassment.
The president thought for a moment and gave this answer, "I've never thought about it because I trust him completely."
"Do you trust him so easily?"
"Yes! Unconditionally. Even if he does have another fiancée, I would still accept it as long as he still cares about me."
"Can you really do that?"
"Of course~~~~~ Not possible." Suddenly, the president's aura changed.
Anger flickered in her eyes, and one could imagine her emotions at that moment.
Indeed, although the Empire of Aoris does not oppose polygamy or polyandry if both parties agree, the centuries-old monogamous thinking is deeply rooted. Not opposing does not equal acceptance, so the president's reaction was normal.
"But if he dares... I have no choice, but I can only agree to one. If there are more, I'll fight back."
Huh? Why is the president staring at me angrily? Did I do something wrong? It seems like I didn't even say a word.
"If he dares to have a harem, his peaceful life will come to an end." With a burning aura, the president took a step forward.
"Ah! That's good then," Hanya sighed softly and mumbled to herself.
But I heard it! What's going on with this "That's good then"? How big is this black cloud, and doesn't this mean that Hanya... I dare not imagine the consequences. Throughout history, the results from being in Hanya's position have never been satisfactory. During my time in the student council, I discovered that Hanya was a very serious person, although sometimes too serious. Like two days ago, as the disciplinary committee chair, she forcibly broke open the men's restroom door in order to catch the lawbreaker who violated the discipline, ignoring the surprised gazes of the male students who were in the middle of relieving themselves. I couldn't tell whether she was upholding or destroying discipline. However, Hanya is usually silent and unemotional, but she is actually a very gentle and friendly person, especially to those she is familiar with.
In any case, I hope she has a good outcome! I should thank Hanya for taking care of me since I joined the student council!
Fifteen minutes later, in front of the main gate of Azure Sky Academy, one male and two females sat in front of a fast-food restaurant's glass window. It was none other than me, Hanya, and the president.
The president held a burger in her hand and savored it slowly and elegantly. A look of enjoyment appeared on her face, as if the burger in her hand was a heavenly delicacy. Hanya, on the other hand, was absent-mindedly licking her strawberry ice cream, taking a bite with each lick.And I...
President: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Although I don't understand why the president brought me here, I still don't want to be a burden, so I don't expect to make any contributions. At least I can protect myself."
President: "What can these origami cranes of yours do?"
Me: "I'll use them at the right time!"
President: "You can quit being a summoner or a researcher and become a fortune teller with your mystical talk."
That's right, I'm folding origami cranes. I already have more than a dozen, and I plan to fold a few more to reach a total of forty-nine. Hehe...
"It's nine in the morning now, and we still have nine hours. President, what's your plan? Are you going to wait for the rabbits or lure the snake out of the hole?" I've been in the Student Council for a year, so I know the president's strategic habits very well.
"At this point, these strategies are no longer effective. We must take the initiative to protect Lilith's safety. But now is not the best time."
"In other words, I still have time to fold origami cranes." I voiced my opinion while playing with the origami cranes in my hand.
Time passed by every minute and second. When I completed the forty-ninth origami crane in my hand, a boy wearing a deep blue uniform of the Zhanlan Academy walked into the restaurant from the main entrance. The most striking feature about him was his dazzling golden hair, just like the president's. The boy looked around, then walked past us to the order counter, selected his desired food, and finally took it to go. Throughout this process, the boy acted very naturally, but too naturally, so natural that it made people suspicious. If someone asked me, "What's there to be suspicious about? He's just getting takeout?" I would answer without hesitation, "A normal boy would never be so natural in front of the two big beauties of The Chishin Academy High School, natural to the point of behaving as if he hadn't noticed us."
Sure enough, the golden-haired boy's intentions were not pure, and the reason I could draw this conclusion was because of the SD card in the president's hand.
"Our opportunity has come." The president inserted the SD card into the phone and projected a three-dimensional framework of buildings, with dense data and labels visible in the gaps between the buildings.
"What... what is this?" Hanya curiously observed the projection and asked.
"It's a map of the geographical location and defense deployment of Zhanlan Academy."
"Given to us by that blond guy?" I knew it, someone couldn't resist it, turns out it was a golden finger.
"Yes, he is a distant relative of our family, my cousin, so to speak. I had already notified him before the teleportation, requesting him to complete it within two hours. Hehe, he's quite punctual."
"A big family is a big family, even cousins count."
"We have a large family, can't help it."
"Next, we should proceed with the plan for our invasion!"
"Oh my, don't be so eager, we still have plenty of time." The president took a sip of his cola.
Over the next hour, through careful and detailed discussion, a strategic plan was formulated with the goal of successfully bringing out Lilith and safely returning to the school within eight hours.
Coincidentally, today the news department of The Chishin Academy High School was conducting an interview with Zhanlan Academy. Taking advantage of this, we blended into the news department's team and successfully entered the defensive barrier of the academy. But I really don't understand how the president managed to get us into the interview. Because our Student Council and the head of the news department, Zi Sijiu, are rivals. I don't know why, but the president, who is always versatile and has an unreal level of affinity, became a rival to Zi Sijiu. It's probably because of family reasons.
Zi Sijiu, the niece of Emperor Zi Liexiong, her mother is Zi Liexiong's sister, and her father is a senior military officer of the empire with an unknown rank. Due to her father's marriage into the royal family, Zi Sijiu also carries the surname Zi.
In the empire, the era of the emperor holding absolute power and making all decisions is long gone. Apart from the Zi royal family, the empire's main power is also in the hands of the Four Great Families. The Qin family, as the largest family in the empire, must rank first among the Four Great Families. Following them are the Liu and Ouyang families, and finally, at the end of the Four Great Families, the current enemy we are facing - the Situ family. Furthermore, the president's family, the Brandy family of the divine and noble race, has a deep connection with the Qin family. Among the Four Great Families, there are bound to be power struggles between the royal family and the others. When it comes to the Brandy family with its connection to the Qin family, facing the royal family and the other three families, it will naturally become a hostile relationship. So it makes sense for the president to become enemies with Zi Sijiu. But maybe there's more to it than just this reason, who knows, anyway, that's what the rumors say.At this moment, the three of us sneaked out of the group.
It is now ten minutes past ten. With the map given to us by the blond man and our identity as interviewers, the three of us easily arrived at the building where the Azure Sky Student Union is located.
"This is the right place, right? What if your cousin's cousin, who you say is naive, betrays us? We have no way out," everything went so smoothly, but it made me uneasy.
"Hmm...I still believe in the sincerity of the Brandi family."
"Sincerity? Can we trust the sincerity of a big family?"
"That question puts me in a difficult spot. All I can say is, before dusk, the four of us, including Lilith, if we haven't returned yet, Principal Gufei will definitely take action. After all, the principal has a reputable reputation."
"Oh~~ If the principal hears the president calling her old, she's definitely going to lose it," Hanya joked.
"Let's go, it's definitely not easy inside."
========================================
Evil Young Master: (*^__^*) Hehe...Then it's time for Xiaofeiyang and Hanya to take the stage.
