The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Or maybe I'm just too much of a straight man? Lorenwei shook her head, got up, and prepared to go back to bed.

But as soon as she got up, Lorenwei was horrified to find that Kurara, on the other side of the bed, had somehow gotten up and was smiling at her in the moonlight.

This feels like our elopement plans have been leaked... Lorenwei froze.

Fortunately, Kurara didn't say anything. She stretched out her right hand, her slender fingers seemingly scolding Lorenwei, and then lay down to sleep again.

Lorenwei walked back to the small bed with zombie-like steps.

After lying down and thinking for a moment, Lorenwei suddenly called out to the other side of the bed, "Hey, Meilan, are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Meilan responded vaguely from afar.

As expected! Lorenwei thought to herself.

Damn it, you can't believe that women who are sleeping are all pretending to be asleep...

Meilan was still mumbling in her sleep, "I can't eat anymore... I'll leave it for Puyo... It's not good to have too big breasts... They'll shake when I punch... Something the size of Silph is about right..."

Chapter 220 Cutting it off is the safest option; A major upheaval occurs at the academy!

The next morning, both Sylph and Kurara secretly examined Melanie's chest.

Both girls clearly heard Meilan's sleep-talking last night. It turns out Meilan isn't a heartless girl after all. Of course, there have been many examples before showing that Meilan isn't the naive and innocent type; at most, she's a bit of a naive and impulsive idiot…

Watching Meilan gulp down her milk, both Sylph and Kurara felt they could understand; she was a girl with great ambitions.

After breakfast, Lorenwei immediately went to bid farewell to the King and Queen.

Upon seeing the two, the Queen was about to speak again to persuade them to stay, but Kurara gently shook her head behind Lorenwei.

The Queen did not try to persuade her any further and readily saw Lorenwei off.

When Lorenwei arrived, the small carriage she borrowed from the headmaster had already been sent back to the academy by a special person. This time, the princess's guards escorted her back.

The palace's main gossip-mongers—the maids—also quietly saw them off.

Of course, this is just for onlookers and casual gossip.

"She's truly extraordinary. She's not a chef, nor a fierce female kidnapper, but Lorenve, the daughter of a hero," a belatedly realizing maid remarked.

"You have no sense of gossip at all, how come you only just found out?"

"It's not too late to find out; at least I got to see the real person."

"It's a pity I didn't see Miss Lorenwei fall in love with anyone."

"I'm betting on the Second Prince."

"Bah! Of course we should bet our Prince of the Kingdom of Percy!"

"Yes, yes, look how good Princess Kurara's relationship with Miss Lorenwei is! She'll definitely have the advantage of being close to her brother, and might even get preferential treatment from him."

"Hmm, that makes sense. If you keep calling someone 'brother' in your ear, maybe she'll become your sister-in-law."

Unfortunately, none of the maids' gossip subject—Prince Cujo—came to see Lorenvie off.

Prince Cujo was a very principled man. He knew about Lorenve's Seville characteristics and, after their conversation, simply treated Lorenve as a brother. Knowing that Lorenve was leaving, he remained in the military camp, believing that there was no need for formalities between brothers. He simply sent one of his adjutants with some Bohemian specialties to see him off.

This Bohemian specialty was prepared the day before yesterday, and the adjutant waited for two whole days in vain.

To see Lorenwei off, the King and Queen actually left the main city.

Normally, when a princess returns to the academy, the king and queen would simply see her off at the city gate, which would be sufficient. But this time, they escorted her quite a distance away.

The commotion was so great that countless residents of the Kingdom of Posi came to watch.

The crowd on the street was larger than when the Second Prince arrived.

"Beautiful lady, even more beautiful than our Princess Kurara, the Flower of Posey!"

"That's Lorenwei. She's said to be the most beautiful woman in Moonlight Academy and the daughter of a hero."

Ordinary people lined both sides of the street to watch the spectacle.

Among the departing party were some guards who had accompanied Lorenvie on missions before, who came with a certain amount of gratitude. Of course, many more were simply hoping to catch another glimpse of the beautiful woman…

Lorenwei was a little embarrassed at first, but she became more at ease later.

Sylph laughed at her from inside the carriage: "You really enjoy everyone's envious glances and compliments, don't you?"

"I'm good-looking, and I dress appropriately, so I'm not afraid of being stared at!" Lorenwei didn't care.

Meilan replied, "It's not that I'm afraid people will see, it's that there's nothing to see."

Lorenwei: "...I've noticed that you, Meilan, are starting to show signs of a sharp tongue."

They saw her off for a long distance, and the old king was almost in tears: "Weiwei, we really can't bear to part with you."

"Vivi, although we haven't spent much time together, we've had a wonderful time and feel so compatible. I'm really going to miss you. If possible, I'd love to go to the academy with you." The Queen held Vivi's small hand and patted it gently.

No one thought it was inappropriate, except for Kurara, who waited a while before coughing lightly and coming up: "Mother, you weren't this reluctant to let me go when I went to the academy."

"Hehehe, Kurara is jealous." The Queen held onto Lorenwei's hand tightly, only letting go when she saw her daughter staring at her.

“…” Lorenwei remained silent and made no obvious movements.

She maintained an extremely calm attitude throughout, neither overreacting nor avoiding the situation, constantly reminding herself that she couldn't eat her mother-in-law's food—it could kill someone—safety first…

The king and queen saw him off for ten miles before returning home after Kula repeatedly declined.

The king originally intended to assign the powerful old mage as a bodyguard, but Lorenwei nonchalantly stated that she had nothing to worry about.

Yesterday, Lorenwei took some time to study the files on all the special ability users of the Fate Empire that the Kingdom of Posey possessed. As long as no one is beyond her capabilities, she's confident she can handle them. After all, the other side wouldn't dare to easily break ties with a legendary hero; that's one of the advantages of being born into an S-class family.

They arrived in a small horse-drawn carriage, crammed with two girls.

This time when I returned, not counting the guards, the gifts alone filled three carriages.

Lorenwei and the three women rode in a carriage, driven by the housekeeper; as they were all family, there was no need to worry about any secrets being leaked.

"My father and mother are very hospitable, Lorenwei, please don't mind them too much," Kurara said apologetically to Lorenwei.

“No, that’s not true. Whether it’s for the sake of the nation or for the feelings of our own people, they handled things very appropriately,” Lorenwei comforted her. “It’s just that your father’s words weren’t quite precise enough. I think he should have said…”

"How to say?"

Lorenwei, with an air of maturity, pretended to stroke his beard: "When I see Vivi, I feel right at home."

Kurara laughed and said, "What? I don't understand."

But knowing she was joking and genuinely didn't mind, I felt relieved.

Sylph simply gazed calmly out the window, while Melanie fiddled with some snacks, but didn't eat them, instead pondering which one to eat first when they got back.

Kurala quickly added, "By the way, your book, 'The Self-Cultivation of a Guard,' is very well written. Father praises it endlessly, and the head guard regards it as a classic."

"Remember what I told you, don't tell anyone. Actually, I think it's fine for your father to see it alone. Giving it to the head guard could lead to a leak."

Kurala explained with a smile, "The chief guard has served my father since I was a child, and three generations have shared this position, so he is trustworthy."

"If you're going to marry someone, don't marry anyone else, you must marry me, bring a million dollars, lead your sister, and come in that carriage," Lorenwei hummed a song, comfortably crossing her legs in the carriage.

The King and Queen were too kind; they had loaded three carriages with gifts. Actually, there was another carriage full of gifts from the kingdom's nobles. Lorenvi only asked for the gift list and didn't take the gifts with her, asking the King and Queen to keep them for her.

Accepting the gift list shows gratitude, while not taking anything away is to avoid owing too much favor in the future.

As for what she owed the King and Queen, her ideas for governing the country and the textbooks for guards were already worth the price. If there was anything else she owed, Lorenwei wouldn't mind repaying the princess with her body.

After listening to Lorenwei's lyrics, Kula rolled her eyes at her and said, "Your lyrics are just filthy clichés."

"Why are you leading your sister?" Meilan didn't understand.

Kurala quickly corrected Meilan, who was prone to going off-topic: "Good children shouldn't imitate this, nor should they overthink it. Lorenwei is not proper."

Lorenvi was pleased that her trip hadn't been in vain; she could return the gifts to the headmaster to repay his favor. She couldn't help but ask, "Kurara, tell me honestly, do you have a younger sister?"

Kurala said irritably, "Yes, isn't that my sister in this car? She's been taken home with you."

Surprisingly, both Siruf and Melan were staring at Kurara at that moment.

The atmosphere inside the carriage became awkward for a moment.

"Haha, right, I feel like I've forgotten someone, but I can't remember them right now..." Lorenwei quickly changed the subject.

"Who is it?" Kurala asked, trying to help think of someone.

No one remembered it at the moment.

"The Fite Empire's entourage has been spotted ahead!" the captain of the guard suddenly shouted a warning.

The convoy immediately slowed down and gradually came to a stop.

Lorenwei clapped her hands sharply: "Oh, right, Second Prince!"

The presence of the Fate Empire's entourage here would undoubtedly belong to the Second Prince. At the very least, the people of the Fate Empire wouldn't stoop to fighting Lorenwei, and certainly wouldn't be operating under the Empire's banner.

However, she had a vague feeling that the person she had forgotten was not the Second Prince.

Who else? Never mind for now, at least the Second Prince's appearance eased the somewhat awkward situation. Lorenwei pushed open the car door and jumped out.

As expected, it was Kendi, the second prince of the Fite Empire, leading a group of three, along with some guards carrying gifts.

The trio consisted of the female warrior and female administrator whom Lorenwei had met before, who were both the Second Prince's capable subordinates and childhood sweethearts, and a head maid who was almost like a mother to him.

Even though it's an IOU, you still need to bring some gifts when you leave.

"Here, put them in this car." Lorenwei glanced at the gift list and immediately beamed, taking the initiative to instruct the guards opposite her to place the gifts.

You're quite sensible, Second Prince. I won't mention your IOU for now.

Then, as expected, the polite words followed.

"Oh, Miss Lorenwei, I just found out you're going back to the academy, so I came to see you off."

"Your Highness is too kind."

"Although we have only known each other for a short time, we hit it off immediately. Now that you are about to leave, I am truly heartbroken. Once you are gone, I am afraid I will not be able to eat or sleep properly."

"speak English."

"You may all leave," the Second Prince ordered his men to step aside. However, the three men did not leave, as they were his trusted confidants, practically family.

The three women, including Kurara, were also peering through the car window. The Second Prince, seeing Lorenwei get out of the car, knew she was trustworthy and had no objections.

Walking to the carriage, the Second Prince whispered, practically clinging to its leg, his voice filled with sorrow: "Now that you're gone, I'm so worried. I might die, I'm afraid I might die, I really might die!"
