I am the heroine's godfather!

However, Victoria's voice rang out again: "But people, do not panic! Under the pursuit of the police, all the cultists have now been arrested. Let us cheer for these heroes who have protected us!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Well done, Inspection Department!"

Amidst cheers from the crowd, Christine, leaning against the wall backstage, asked, "So, you're planning to put this guy on stage?"

"Yes."

Loran nodded, and Christine asked again, "But she hasn't mentioned herself at all. Even if you publicize the capture of the evil god's follower, what good will it do?"

"Keep reading and you'll find out."

"Alright, you've always had your own ideas."

Outside, Victoria continued her speech: "My dear citizens, children of Isnar, today is the festival of the Goddess of Light. I, Victoria Isnar, in the name of the Royal Family, hereby swear that I hope Enshia will no longer be invaded by the claws of evil gods, and that no one in Enshia will die from cold or hunger..."

Victoria tried her best to paint a picture of her desired vision for everyone, without mentioning anything about competing for the crown prince position, which turned the public's initial disdain into skepticism.

A very good start.

"So, this is your plan?"

Christine tilted her head: "Instead of announcing the competition for the crown prince position first, why not lay the groundwork first?"

"Ah."

"But it doesn't seem to be working very well? The people don't trust Victoria."

"As long as Victoria can deliver on her promises, trust will naturally follow."

"Hmm, aren't you afraid that a nobleman whose interests have been infringed will overturn the table?"

"But I'm still here, aren't I?"

"That's true... your Antoya Trading Company is also involved?"

"Well, firstly, my sister naturally supports me, and secondly, the other minority shareholders also hope to seek some political protection in Isnar."

Victoria's speech outside was nearing its end. She raised her hand and declared, "Now, I declare the Festival of the Goddess of Light to begin!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

The joyous crowd seemed to echo through the sky. Christine watched the city gradually come alive with interest, while Loran smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk together when Charlotte and the others arrive."

"Hmm, you're treating!"

"I'm unemployed right now, so shouldn't you be treating me?"

“You’re a nobleman, and a local bigwig in Enshiya. Why would you covet my measly little bit of money?”

"Please, for a teacher to ask parents to treat them to a meal, isn't that bribery?"

"Little Charlotte hasn't started school yet, has she?"

The two started arguing again, completely unaware that Victoria and the others had arrived backstage.

"Oh, Mr. Lorraine, good evening."

"Good evening, Your Highness. You did very well."

"Not at all, Mr. Loren, you flatter me."

Victoria gave a faint smile, while Christine muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like this guy looks so much like Lucifer?"

"Well, yes, there is a bit."

"Oh, who is this?"

Victoria looked at Christine and couldn't help but wonder. Red hair and golden eyes, and a friend of Loran, no, Lorian. There could only be that one.

"Ah, hello, I'm Claire, a teacher at St. Casta Magic Academy."

“Miss Claire, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Victoria.”

The two shook hands, but Victoria silently added in her mind, "Claire? No, it should be 'Heavenly Punishment Fire' Christine, right?"

Is this person actually a teacher in San Casta?

Well, speaking of which, Anna will be going there to study next spring, so it seems there's no need to worry about her safety.

"Speaking of which, my younger sister is also going to St. Casta Magic Academy next year."

"Your sister? Oh, Anna, right?"

"Hmm? Does Miss Claire know her?"

"So we know each other."

Christine nodded and said, "Aren't she, Charlotte from the Lorraine family, and a little girl named Daisy very good friends?"

"I see. I hope Miss Claire will take good care of Anna when we get to school."

"Sure, sure..."

Indeed, the relationship between home and school is something that cannot be escaped in any world.

"Loran!"

Charlotte's voice rang out, and the three little ones arrived at the square, but Daisy and Anna looked at Loran with a strange expression.

Lorraine thought to herself that the prank had probably been discovered.

Well, I was just trying to add some excitement to the children's festival, how can you call it a prank?

Having convinced himself with these words, Lorraine remained composed: "You've come."

"Daisy, look, this person isn't embarrassed at all."

Anna muttered under her breath, and Daisy, somewhat helpless, didn't say anything. Charlotte, however, didn't care at all, waving her hand: "This guy's skin is thicker than a city wall."

"I see."

Anna nodded seriously: "So, as long as you have thick skin, you won't feel embarrassed? I've learned something."

"No, what exactly did you learn...?"

Daisy felt speechless.

"Good evening, Anna."

Victoria smiled and looked at her younger sister: "Did you have fun?"

"?"

Anna tilted her head, puzzled by her sister's sudden remark, while Daisy paused, then asked, "Could it be that Your Highness Victoria...?"

"Oh, guess?"

"What? What are you and Daisy talking about, sister?"

Anna looked at the two of them speaking in cryptic language and felt a little angry. It seemed like she was being ostracized by her sister and best friend! She was about to drag Charlotte into the fight against the two of them when she noticed that Charlotte also had a strange expression on her face.

What? It's like only I'm failing!

Miss Anna is very angry!

Chapter 60 Ordinary Days

On the night of the festival, Loran, Christine, Serena, and Charlotte had a great time at the festival. Christine dragged Loran to a tavern, raising her glass and declaring that whoever could drink her under the table would get a free meal, attracting many challengers. The result, of course, was that they were all defeated.

Please, with a half-dragon's physique, saying she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk is an understatement. Let alone the people in this mere tavern, back when they participated in a brewing competition in a city of the Kingdom of Yahra, Christine single-handedly drank the entire city's population under her thumb.

Christine, invincible.

However, although this woman was a heavy drinker, she wouldn't spend the entire evening drinking—she still had to fleece the wealthy client! So after a few hundred drinks, she knew when to stop.

Yes, that's enough.

The festival continued until dusk of the following day. After a day and night of revelry, Christine took her leave. After all, school hadn't started its holiday yet, and she still had to go to class.

After the festival, Loran remembered something that needed to be addressed. At the dinner table, he suddenly brought it up: "Miss Daisy?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Loran?"

"Well, although it's not very appropriate for me to say this, I wonder if you wish to inherit the Mithrid family's title and fiefdom?"

"what did you say?"

Miss Daisy Mitride was somewhat puzzled: "My father is still alive, and I have an older brother. In any case, it's not my turn to inherit the title, is it?"

"There's no need to worry about that."

Lorraine waved his hand: "I can handle it, of course. Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too; the Morganfleur family is big enough."

"Well......"

Daisy fell into deep thought, and Charlotte did not interfere with her friend's choice.

Serena seemed to sense Daisy's dilemma and said, "Of course, since the Mithrid family's fiefdom is somewhat dilapidated, Miss Daisy can continue to live here if she wishes."

洛兰轻笑一声：“这也是我的意思每^日.发！书，群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】。”

“Really? No, I mean, thank you, Miss Serena and Mr. Loran.”

Miss Daisy, who had instinctively gasped in surprise, immediately composed herself and thanked her sincerely. Charlotte also took Daisy's hand: "That's wonderful, Daisy!"

"Ok!"

Daisy was deeply moved. Not only had they taken her in, but they had also provided her with so much help. Mr. Lorraine and Miss Serena were such kind people.

Loran was naturally very efficient. Two days later, at dinner time, Loran brought the land deed of the Mitrid family, as well as the certificate of title change issued by the noble administration.

At the dinner table, Loran said with a smile, "Speaking of which, when I was discussing this matter with Viscount Mitrid, I also ran into old Heli."

Daisy was taken aback, and Serena asked, somewhat puzzled, "Old Hurley? How could he be connected to the Mithrid family?"

"Hmm, I think it has something to do with Miss Daisy."

Daisy lowered her head and clutched the hem of her dress. Lorraine chuckled softly, "Old Heli has always been plotting to obtain a noble status. If he can marry Miss Daisy, and with a little more planning, he can take the title of Mithrid for himself... A title for a hundred gold coins, what a bargain."

"Loran!"

Serena shook her head, signaling to Loran to watch Daisy's mood, but Daisy spoke up, "I'm fine, Miss Serena. In fact, I've also wondered why old Heli would spend a hundred gold coins to...buy me. If it's as Mr. Loran said, then it's not hard to understand."

"I never imagined that my parents would almost lose their titles because of a momentary gain..."

Daisy didn't know what to say; faced with such bizarre parents, she felt powerless to say anything.

“But it’s alright, Miss Daisy, no, perhaps I should call you Baron Mitrid.”

"Mr. Loran, you are joking."

Daisy felt a little embarrassed by what Lorraine said, and asked again, "Mr. Lorraine, what price did you pay to accomplish these things?"

"Haha, it's not much, just two hundred gold coins."

"this......"

Daisy was momentarily speechless; two hundred gold coins was no small sum. Loran, sensing Daisy's thoughts, said, "Miss Daisy, you needn't worry about it. In fact, two hundred gold coins can buy a title; in the end, I'm the one who makes the profit."

This is not an exaggeration. Although Mitrid is only a baron, the Isnar Empire rarely grants titles to nobles anymore. If a baron's title were to be sold, it would cost at least seven or eight hundred gold coins, and sometimes it could even fetch over a thousand gold coins.

It's only because Daisy's father was so short-sighted that he sold the title for such a paltry price. In fact, if old Haley knew that the Mithrid family's title could be bought for two hundred gold coins, he would never have considered marrying Daisy.

Please, he's not some lecherous monster. Who would want a teenage girl like that? If he marries Daisy, he'll be the subject of gossip for ages!

Furthermore, acquiring the Mithrid title later would be a troublesome matter. If he had known he could buy the title for two hundred gold coins, why would he have bothered with all that effort?

"this......"

Although Daisy knew Lorraine was telling the truth, she still kept this favor in mind and thought she would repay it no matter what in the future.

--------------

After resolving Daisy's matter, the next six months were relatively uneventful. Victoria's plan to seize power continued slowly; many of the promises she made at the Festival of the Goddess of Light had been fulfilled, and she had gained considerable prestige in Enshia. Moreover, because she had not yet announced her candidacy, the other contenders for the crown prince position did not take her seriously.

With books, life is long; without books, life is short. Half a year passed quietly, and as Charlotte celebrated her first holy day in Enshia, acceptance letters from Saint Casta were also sent to the girls.

"Charlotte!"

Charlotte was reading Laura's letter. Since arriving in Enshia, the two had maintained a monthly correspondence, their contact never ceasing. Laura had also received her acceptance letter from Saint Casta, which made Charlotte very happy.

And that lively voice naturally belonged to Anna, who had also received her acceptance letter and was sharing her joy with her friends.

Because she was somewhat unhappy about Daisy and Charlotte living together and felt isolated, Anna visited Morganflore's mansion much more often.

Chapter 61 The start of the school year is quietly approaching.
