I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

"Stop fooling around and get some rest."

Helena, a junior student, heard her senior say something behind her. Then she heard footsteps. It seemed her senior had gone to the sofa.

It seems the senior is going to the sofa. Although he seems bad on the surface, he is actually a very upright person.

A great hero who remained unmoved by temptation.

Helena sighed inwardly, thinking worriedly, "Tomorrow must go smoothly. I absolutely mustn't let my senior be taken to the Papacy by Olivia. Helena still wants to see him."
I want to see him every day.

These were the happiest days of Helena's life.

After all these years, she can finally see Roland every day.

If only my senior hadn't been in a coma the whole time.

Even so, even though they hadn't seen each other for most of those six months, Helena was still very content.

Because she knew that her senior was right beside her.

Helena inexplicably recalled the days after her senior's 'death'. She would always remember the words her senior, Catherine, had said to her.

"—You're here to sweep the graves again. Are you really planning to live like this all by yourself?"

"You've misunderstood. I'm just not interested in things like love. You're just my senior, and our friendship is very pure."

"Hehe. Your senior is dead, forget about him."

Helena, you are very talented. You shouldn't stay in this place.

Although your grandmother's judgment was poor, she was right about some things. She sent you here with the hope that you would become the dean of this place in the future and completely change the Black Abyss.

But the Black Abyss is about to be finished.
Helena, perhaps one day you will discover that all your memories of the Abyss have disappeared.

Including information about me.
Go now, obediently follow your grandmother's arrangements, leave this place, go back to Baiqi Academy and get married.
She's already planned your future. She needs a successor—an obedient successor.

Later, Helena, along with Professor Nadine and other White Wizards, returned to the White Academy.

As expected, a huge change occurred in the Black Abyss, and Catherine and many Black Abyss wizards were imprisoned.

However, thanks to the efforts of Helena, Professor Nadine, and many others, Black Abyss Academy preserved its legal system. At the same time, many Black Abyss wizards were also saved by them.

Three years later, Helena returned to Black Abyss Academy and became an ordinary Black Abyss professor.

She didn't get married, nor did she stay at the White Chess Academy. Because this was where she grew up. This place held so many unforgettable memories for her.

Witches often have lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people, and are far more complex. Yet, some of their pure emotions are as stubborn as those of elves.

Twenty years later, Helena is still an ordinary professor.

It was raining heavily that day too, but it wasn't the anniversary of Roland's death.

Helena unexpectedly encountered someone in front of the tombstone.

"You come to sweep his grave every year?" Someone had clearly misremembered Roland's death anniversary; she hadn't even come specifically for him.

It would be a little easier to walk through this cemetery on the way from the Twin Towers to the Dean's office. If she hadn't seen Helena, she would have even forgotten that there were a few straws buried here.

"I was just passing by on my way home from get off work."

Helena works at the Snake Tower, not the Twin Towers.

She continued, "It's a new season now, and the flowers in Joan's garden are blooming again. She can't come this time, so I'm planting two for her."

Twenty-three years, a total of 132 quarters.

Looking around, the cemetery is filled with all sorts of mermaid flowers, a total of 126 varieties. They attract countless beautiful little spirits, making this place spring-like all year round, with flowers that never wither.

"Aren't these little sprites cute? That guy has so many beautiful girls with him, he'll definitely like them, right?"

Someone: "."

After letting out a long sigh, someone said, "Little girl, you win."

Someone spent two weeks at Black Abyss Academy, where she brought Helena to the Twin Towers to become her lady-in-waiting. Also becoming a lady-in-waiting was Joan, who had been transferred back for some reason.

The lady-in-waiting is in the twilight; she will always serve the princess, and will continue to serve her even after the princess becomes queen or queen. She is the queen and queen's most loyal confidante, even her inner minister.

Therefore, they would never marry or have their marriages arranged by the Queen.

When some kings were too philandering, the queen would often intentionally arrange for her ladies-in-waiting to become her husband's mistresses.

In some kingdoms where polygamy exists, female officials are often the candidates for queens.

Helena knew why someone had arranged things this way; she believed it was for their own benefit—because someone would never marry again, so by becoming her lady-in-waiting, she wouldn't have to be arranged to marry anyone by her grandmother anymore, and could focus wholeheartedly on studying the Path of Truth.

"Heh, who says I won't get married? When I come back from Vermik... well, maybe I won't. But I'll get you all there. You'll all come with me to Malrod."

Helena, I've already chosen your future husband. His name is 'Lorenz.' Yes, he's the father of your colleague.

He is the future new king of Malrod. Grandmother took you and Amber to Vermeek; I'll introduce you to him then.

That day, Helena felt like the sky had fallen.

She always thought it was just a malicious joke.

Helena later realized that Catherine wasn't joking, which was a relief.

It feels so good to be a wife.
Then came another sound of footsteps in the room, as if Mr. Lawrence had simply gone to put his clothes on the sofa.

Hearing the person slowly walk to the bedside, pull back the covers, and get into bed, Helena's heart tightened.

She cautiously and quietly opened one eye and saw a hateful smiling face.

Helena's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in a low voice, "Senior, why...why did you take your shirt off?!"

Roland said, "They're all soaked. Edward's bathrobe is too small, and you didn't prepare a proper one for me."

This guy even blamed Helena. However, as a wife, she was indeed a bit inconsiderate in this matter.

Helena said, "Who said I didn't prepare one for you? It was specially made with the finest 'snow cotton,' which can protect against the cold."

I just put it away, it's in the box. Go get it quickly and put it on. You've only just recovered, and it's so cold in the house.

Roland thought with a sigh, "So, my junior was just making me put on clothes because she was worried I'd catch a cold. Come to think of it, she's been sleeping with me for months now, so she's pretty used to it."

It was only then that Roland noticed that Helena was holding a small blue bear. It was quite cute.

Roland couldn't help but recall a memory. He remembered seeing the little bear in his junior's dormitory or in the cherry laboratory duty room.

On that occasion, Roland was supposed to stay overnight at Helena's place because of the assassination attempt and the Ballet Ghost incident.

The junior student also said that it would have been better if she hadn't said anything about not letting him bully her; as soon as she did, she almost made a mistake.

If I had stayed that night, I might have actually been unable to resist picking up the junior and teasing her a bit.
"—Senior, you really aren't a good person. If you keep thinking these things, if you really, really bully me, I...I'll get really angry."

Looking into Helena's big, watery eyes, Roland's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Even though she said she was going to get angry, she just stared straight at people with those big eyes.
Roland suppressed many bad thoughts, but he couldn't help but recall what he had overheard Helena saying while she was lost in her own thoughts.

Wow, so many female officials! Senior sisters are great, I'll never mess around outside again!

I swear, Olivia is an exception, and this will never happen again! She will definitely be the last one!

Moved, Roland earnestly explained to his junior, Helena. He said seriously, "How could that be? How could a senior bully a junior?"

Don't be nervous, don't misunderstand. I won't bully you tonight.

I came here mainly because I was worried you might still have lingering effects tomorrow. Don't worry, just lie here and sleep it off, and we'll both be fine tomorrow.

You don't want us both to embarrass ourselves in front of everyone at tomorrow's meeting, do you?

The thought of them suddenly hugging in public tomorrow made Helena feel terrible.

She was terrified.

At this moment, senior Roland thoughtfully stretched out his arm and put his arm around junior Helena.

Helena, the junior, thought the senior's action was a way of dealing with the aftereffects. She blinked and asked innocently, "Is it okay to just hug like this?"

Helena's eyes widened as she spoke—her senior's hands were getting handsy!

Roland thought to himself, 'She's wearing baggy pants. My dear junior, how can you be so naive?'

Roland nodded seriously and said, "Yes, just hold me like this—don't move, and I won't move either. Ignore them (their hands)."

Helena looked at Roland with a suspicious expression.

Senior Roland said, "Relax, just pretend they don't exist."

Helena's schoolmate: "."

Senior Roland: "."

The room was quiet, and the two of them, gazing at each other, had this conversation.

Helena, a junior student, said, "Senior, my clothes aren't wet. I don't need to change."

Roland: "."

Helena, a junior student, said, "S-senior...you...you're not trying to bully me, are you?"

Roland said, "Why would I bully you? But I'd like to ask you a rather abrupt question."

Helena, a junior student, said, "You go ahead."

Roland asked, "Why do you sleep with such a thick mattress?"

"It looks a bit big. I'm afraid you won't like it."

Helena's voice was barely audible, but her eyes bravely met Roland's gaze.

Roland said, "You don't need to pad anymore. I really like you. I really like you like this. And you're not small either."

Helena, a junior student, said, "Really? No, don't kiss there. It's ugly."

Roland said, "It's not ugly, I like it very much, my little princess. It's cute even if it's a little thicker. Don't move, let go, relax."

The wind and snow were heavy outside the window, but it was warm inside.

Both of them had a bad feeling that something would happen tomorrow. They hugged each other tightly, afraid that they would never see each other again.

Roland thought that Helena was a very simple-minded and naive girl.

But Catherine and Olivia never thought so.

Catherine thought this brat was very scheming. But she won because her feelings for Roland were pure and sincere.

She won twice. The first time was when she continued the lineage of the Black Abyss and preserved many of its seeds.

One instance was her persistence in love. How can we blame someone for using some tricks to win love?
Olivia believes that the crazy woman is a scheming, manipulative woman who appears righteous and kind on the surface but is actually quite cunning.

Otherwise, why would she deliberately say it when she knew that Roland was using "don't bully others" as a code?

Otherwise, why was she looking so intensely into 'O'Reilly's' eyes while saying those words?

Olivia was willing to let her sweetheart spend the night with that crazy woman. But she won.

They were engaged and had a child; she had the right to fight for her love.

Besides, this is their last night together, shouldn't 'Olélie' say goodbye to her?

"Waaaaah, you said you wouldn't bully me. Waaaaah! Mm! Mm! Mm!"

Olivia closed her eyes tightly. The wind and snow outside were clearly fierce; ice and snow lashed wildly against the windowpane with a crackling sound.

Even though it was a vast expanse of white outside, she could see everything clearly.

She drew the curtains and stopped looking.

'You bitch, enjoy the rest of your time. This is the last time you'll hug.'

Roland woke up before dawn.

Helena, the junior, seemed to have woken up earlier than Roland. When Roland opened his eyes, he saw her quietly watching him from beside his pillow.

Helena, the junior, is finally with her senior, and at this moment, she is so happy and content.

For her, it didn't matter whether her senior would stay with her forever.

If the senior's real wife, Catherine, doesn't actually want to accept him, and is willing to leave, then he is the third party who came between them.

But none of this matters.

All she wanted to do at that moment was to remember her senior's image in her heart and cherish this moment.

She will never forget what happened during that period.

Their hearts weren't as closely connected anymore. But Roland could still see the adoration in his junior's eyes.

Roland reached out to hug her, but Helena, his junior, shyly pushed him away.

Afterwards, the junior got up, dressed, and combed her hair. Roland lay on his side in bed, watching Helena comb her hair, and couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

He never imagined that he and Helena would one day be together.

To be honest, he had thought about it. When they first met, he wondered if his future wife would have been a younger female student instead of a female senior.

But he never imagined that the two of them would actually be together. Because wizards practice monogamy. Polygamy is only practiced in Muggles and certain areas of the South.

Therefore, neither Helena nor Joan Roland dared to take things any further with them back then. He knew that in a monogamous society, he couldn't give them a formal status; he could only make them the other woman.

Roland thought to himself, "So, all those female officials around my senior were chosen for me. She had long planned to go south with me to restore the Alaye Dynasty."

Therefore, this is the Queen selecting a queen for the future king.
But I'm not the king yet, and my senior hasn't told me about this.

Therefore, she definitely doesn't want me to touch other women now, after all, she's still hesitant about whether it's really going to benefit me.

Knowing her personality, she would definitely be angry if she knew what I've been doing lately.

That crazy woman, En. Olivia, is probably angry too.

The two of them are meeting to negotiate today.
My senior must never find out about what happened between me and Helena, or between me and Olivia.

And Olivia must never know about my relationship with my senior, or that I am not Olivia.
Otherwise, this negotiation could get quite interesting. (End of Chapter)
