"I have already asked the council to move that girl with light magic to the same class as you."

Richard frowned and said, "Why go through all this trouble?"

"Do you think it's unnecessary?" A hint of disappointment flashed across George II's face. "It seems you haven't learned how to be a good monarch at all."

“I know she is a very talented person…” Richard’s voice was low and filled with anger.

"However, this does not mean that I have to use my marriage to win her over. Can't I just use her as a friend to serve the royal family?"

King George II sat on a solid gold chair, gazing at his son with a blank expression, devoid of joy or sorrow.

After a long silence, he said calmly, "You should know that for a true king... marriage is just a bargaining chip."

"If it aligns with our interests, we can unite; if it harms our interests, we can terminate it at any time."

“And that commoner girl with the magic of light is the most suitable choice for you, more suitable than anyone else,” the king said.

"Just because she's a commoner?"

Richard lowered his head, staring at the pattern on the carpet, his gaze slightly resentful.

“Yes,” the king nodded.

"Or to be more precise, because she is a commoner who has the power to change the balance of power."

After these words were spoken, an unspeakable silence fell over the palace.

'How long has it been since I spoke to him like this?'

George II thought to himself.

Because he can handle everything perfectly, I don't need to constantly remind him of things.

Now, he has grown up so much without realizing it. Looking at the face in front of him, which has lost its youthful innocence, he feels that his face is very unfamiliar.

The king spoke again, breaking the silence.

"Richard, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

"Your brother Lawrence has already set off from the Kingdom of Stuart to return home, and he should arrive in the capital this afternoon."

Upon hearing this sudden news, Richard looked up in surprise.

However, the words that came out of the king's mouth were still cold and merciless:

"Lawrence will also be entering the academy. If you are not up to the task, you can leave it to him."

Chapter 93 Opening Ceremony

"Chris, Wayne. Starting today, you two will officially begin your studies at the academy."

Before they set off, Ashville was giving them her final words of advice.

"I know, I know."

Chris's answer was half-hearted.

"Woof! Woof!" Little White raised its head and circled around them twice, as if echoing its mistress's words.

Its glossy white fur, its stout, barrel-shaped body, its erect ears... and its unusually short limbs.

It looks exactly like a Corgi, the kind with a tail.

Do Corgis come in white? Wayne doesn't recall.

However, it won the hearts of everyone in the Duke's mansion with its fluffy fur. Now, Ashville has completely forgotten her initial rejection of it and takes it for a walk in the garden every day.

It's even rumored that many maids secretly compete with each other for the opportunity to feed it and take it for daily exercise.

Wayne squatted down and grabbed its head, tugging at it a few times.

"Keep a close watch on the house!"

"Wang!"

He and Chris boarded the carriage together.

The driver cracked his whip, and the white horse raised its black hooves, the wheels slowly moving forward.

Chris leaned against the car window, watching her mother's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"I want to break through my own limits," she suddenly said.

"Does that mean you're going to give up on being human?" Wayne laughed.

Chris glanced at her sideways.

"Wayne, you've changed!"

She accused him with great distress, "You're no longer the little angel you used to be; you've become a sharp-tongued person."

"Ah! When?!"

Wayne's exaggerated and fake expressions were part of her little theatrical performance.

"It must be because I've been too deeply influenced by Chris! What should I do to find my former angelic self again?" He clutched his chest and read aloud in a seemingly painful tone.

Chris suddenly smiled happily: "Of course—"

"Debut as the new school idol!"

"Wait a minute, this plot doesn't make any sense!" Wayne was instantly pulled out of the story.

Blakely always had a way of covering up her surprising remarks, so even if I occasionally caught on to her jokes, it wouldn't surprise her.

She was clearly trying very hard to catch the joke, but in her heart, she only thought that it was just a few words she had said unintentionally that had been remembered.

How pathetic, the insignificant life of a supporting character.

The carriage carried the two of them through bustling streets, through towering city gates, and along the quiet avenue of the academy...

She arrived at this stage, a stage that truly belongs to "her".

……

"Qingxi Academy is the most outstanding jewel in the Kingdom of Saint Loens. All those who have been able to come here are the most talented individuals from far and wide..."

Inside the auditorium, the chairman was delivering his routine speech at the podium.

The seats were completely filled with countless people, making it impossible to find any familiar faces.

“I can’t see… I can’t see…” Chris looked around.

Wayne sat next to her, also looking around anxiously.

'That's impossible! I specifically asked Olive to help change the class assignments, so why didn't Tasia show up!'

He was a little flustered.

Could it be that because he and Chris made too many changes to the original plot, it caused an unpredictable butterfly effect?

After the chairman's lengthy speech, the student council president took the stage to speak.

The student council founded by Olive is no longer the pitiful, weak entity it once was.

In recent years, the student council has made great strides and has become one of the most important student organizations, responsible for all kinds of affairs, big and small, in the school.

A thin boy with short red hair stood in front of the podium, his posture upright and his gaze calm.

"Fellow students, I am Darcy, the student council president, and I am currently a second-year student." He looked at the crowd below the stage without any fear.

"I am very grateful to each and every one of you for all your hard work in the past, which has enabled you to create this wonderful and unforgettable encounter in this most hopeful place in the kingdom..."

She's very good at talking...

Wayne withdrew his gaze from looking around and focused it on him.

Darcy Collins, the current student council president.

—A user of dark magic.

However, he appears to be a very reliable and charming young man, deeply trusted by his teachers and classmates. If one hadn't seen spoilers for the anime, no one would guess that he's actually a villain.

The magic of darkness seems to be deeply connected to the massacre of the entire family of Baron Kolcliffe that occurred in the royal capital five years ago.

However, since that day, the murderer who committed such a heinous crime seemed to have vanished without a trace, never revealing his whereabouts again. And the map marked with red circles left by the murderer also remained useless.

To this end, the Duke of Elliott specifically strengthened the defenses, but not a single attack occurred.

Could that incident be related to the student council president?

To this day, Wayne still vividly remembers the way that female classmate cried uncontrollably.

Soon, the student council president finished his speech.

Next, it's time for the president of the Lily Association to speak.

A man wearing a pure gold lily badge walked onto the stage; under the illumination of the magic lamp, the badge on his collar shimmered with a bright, dazzling golden light.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I only have one sentence to say."

He began by saying...

"In short, please enjoy this most vibrant period of your youth at the academy and do not get into conflict with any... I mean any member of the Lily Society. I believe that the consequences of doing so would be something none of us want to see."

That arrogant attitude makes him look incredibly irritating.

At least that's what Wayne thinks.

"Aren't these clearly two separate sentences?" Chris muttered under her breath.

Upon hearing her words, Wayne's lips curled up slightly.

However, unlike the two people's indifferent attitude, the entire auditorium was completely silent.

On the podium, his imposing presence seemed to materialize, weighing heavily on everyone's heads.

"Alright, that concludes my remarks."

After saying this, the man, who didn't even bother with a self-introduction, glanced at the faces of the audience once more before turning and leaving.

'He's just a minor character without even a name, yet his entrance is so arrogant.'

Wien thought to himself.

Yes, after all, the next plot is that the prince will succeed as the president of the Lily Society, and then, predictably, he will become a background character in the reverse harem of the original heroine or the villainous heiress, with his presence diminishing infinitely.

"Why isn't the student council president Sophia?" Chris pouted.

In the primary and junior high schools, Sofia Patrick has always served as the president of the Lily Society, except for the year she graduates, when His Highness the Prince temporarily takes over the role.

He was a very capable leader and got along well with everyone.

"How about we vote for Senior Sophia in the next internal election?" Wayne suggested.

This thing looks really annoying, so let's replace it.

Chapter 94 The Lily Society and the Student Council

“He is my cousin, Raphael, a prince of the Kingdom of Stuart,” Richard introduced.

Right now, they are sitting in the Lily Club's private room at the main campus of the academy, having their first team-building activity since the start of the semester.

After a summer vacation apart, His Highness seemed a little haggard, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Also, my younger brother Lawrence will be joining the Lily Society. Please don't be surprised if you see him." His Highness said this with a hint of apology.

"Huh?!" Gavin looked surprised. "Your Highness, didn't you finish your magic academy at Stuart?"

Richard shook his head.

Well--

Wayne stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The second prince, Lawrence Maysfield.

He was physically weak and sickly, had a gloomy temperament, and harbored deep resentment towards his elder brother.

Although they are twins, they were chosen to fulfill the friendly pact between the Kingdom of Saint Loens and the Kingdom of Stuart because they were born a little later and were not as strong or intelligent as their older brother from a young age.

That is to say, it's similar to being sent to be a hostage.

During a casual conversation after dinner one evening, Duke Elliott inadvertently mentioned the second prince.
