My older sister is a villainous rich girl

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"However, there shouldn't have ever been a queen who possessed the magic of light, right?"

Lawrence's pupils contracted.

"Most of what you said is probably true."

Wayne thought to himself, "No wonder he's a member of the royal family; he knows the secrets of lying."

Nine parts truth and one part lie—that's how you get away with things when it matters most.

Unfortunately, for someone with a god-like perspective and exceptional intelligence, such methods were completely ineffective.

“You certainly don’t want Tasia to like Richard, the King certainly wants Richard and Tasia to marry, and the Kingdom of St. Loens has never had a queen who was a commoner.”

"But... that's all for Tasia's future prospects, right?"

He said with certainty, "Your premise is based entirely on lies, so there's no question of you thinking of Richard's best interests."

...It's been completely seen through.

"so what?"

Lawrence showed no shame at having his scheme exposed.

"No way."

Wayne's words took a complete 180-degree turn.

"To be more precise, I don't want Tasia and His Highness Richard to have any emotional entanglement either."

Upon hearing this, Lawrence was slightly taken aback at first, then his expression brightened with joy.

But before he could say anything, Wayne extinguished the thought that had arisen in his mind.

"but--"

"I respect Tasia's choice, whoever she likes. This is a decision that no one else should make for her."

Wien mimicked the Duke of Elliott's posture, his back ramrod straight and his eyes sharp.

“Your Highness Prince Lawrence, this is both a remonstrance and a warning, in my personal name, Wayne Wincher.”

"Please, stop hurting my friend."

The evening sunlight was brilliant and gentle, and as the sun set, the sky was ablaze with red clouds.

outside the classroom.

The girl, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving.

Chapter 103 What?! She's actually a librarian?!

As a result, before leaving school that evening, Wayne still went to the faculty office and told Senior Olive about Professor Conley's despicable behavior.

Thus, Professor Conley faced a major setback in his life, completely losing the trust of his prized student.

"I just sold a few props that I don't need right now! Olive, you don't understand! Men always have to have some social obligations!"

Conley said this, and then, unsurprisingly, accepted Olive's look as if she were looking at an insect.

Finally, all of Professor Conley's illegal gains were confiscated by his senior sister Olive, and he was forced to increase his attendance for a period of time to make up for his debt to his two disciples.

"Wayne! How could you betray your mentor who's on your side! You'll understand how important your secret stash of money is sooner or later!"

Afterwards, Conley angrily criticized him.

Wayne simply smiled at this.

He had long known how important his secret stash of money was, but money was no longer a problem for him.

Chris has an unexpected talent for business. Over the years, the Wincher family's business guild has been rolling in money, which has also greatly increased her disposable funds.

In addition, he was always frugal and could occasionally get a few extra coins from Miss Ge Li, so his savings were quite considerable.

Ha, you think you can make me betray my dearest senior sister for such a paltry sum? You're seriously underestimating me, Wei.

Wayne left the research lab and went to the academy's library in a relaxed and comfortable mood.

It's Friday today. In order to better complete my weekend homework on "Introduction to Magic", I need to borrow some reference materials.

Chris, that lazy bum, has completely given up on studying magic theory. She basically gets by by clinging to Wayne's coattails and doing group work.

But as he passed the tea restaurant located in the school, he unconsciously paused for a moment.

I feel like I haven't been able to say anything to Miss Ge Li since the start of the semester.

The two classrooms are quite far apart, so even if you happen to bump into each other on the street, it's difficult to approach each other because of the friends around them.

Even when Ge Li saw him, his ambiguous gaze met only briefly before he looked away.

She seems to have a lot on her mind.

Sigh... Girls become more cautious as they grow up.

Feeling inexplicably melancholy, Wayne turned and walked into the tea restaurant.

"A cup of iced coffee."

He told the clerk his preferred drink and then casually turned around.

Sure enough, I saw Ge Li sitting in his usual seat.

Just how much does she love this place? She comes here almost every time she has free time.

Wayne walked over and sat down opposite her.

Ge Li raised his head, glanced at him with his bright eyes, then lowered his head again, continuing to write something.

They are several sheet music pieces that look somewhat complicated.

Previously, Wayne had participated in several events in the orchestra and also hired a teacher to teach music at home, finally learning the peculiar music theories of this world.

He finally had a chance to put his meager knowledge from his previous life to good use, and Ge Li even mistakenly thought that he was also very talented in music.

"Miss Kaleidoscope, you've still chosen to join the orchestra? Why not try a different club?"

He made conversation to make things up.

"Because that's my hobby."

She said it without looking up.

"Also, doesn't Wayne think it's strange to be sitting here drinking coffee instead of going home for dinner?"

Wayne smiled. "Nobody says you can't drink coffee at this time of day, right? To be honest, I really like the food here."

Just then, the waiter brought over a cup of coffee.

Wayne turned his head and said enthusiastically, "If you ever lose your job in the future, you can consider coming to the Wincher family for help!"

"Ah...this..." The waiter looked at Ge Li in a bit of a panic.

Ge Li gave him a cold glance.

"If you're too bored, you can go find your ordinary friend to kill time."

Wayne was taken aback. "You mean Tasia?"

"Besides her, who else could it be?"

Goethe scoffed, "The rumor that you and Prince Richard are equally infatuated with her has spread throughout the entire grade of girls today."

Huh?! Who spread this?!

"It's spread everywhere?" he repeated incredulously.

"Yes, even if you ask the cleaning lady downstairs in the teaching building, she'll know the answer perfectly well," she said in a nonchalant tone.

"Tasia and I are just friends!"

This sounds like something a scumbag would say... Oh well, I've done nothing wrong anyway.

He picked up his coffee with a huff and gulped down a large mouthful.

This must be Lawrence's doing again.

He dared not do anything more to Tasia, so he turned around and tried to sow discord between himself and His Highness the Prince.

I suddenly felt that my life had become treacherous.

Ge Li asked with a puzzled expression, "Would nobles in the world ever actively seek to befriend commoners?"

"Of course!"

He didn't like hearing that. "I never look at a person's background when making friends. I only look at whether they are a person worth associating with."

“That’s only because you haven’t come to terms with reality yet,” Ge Li said.

“The vast difference in social class can even divide nobles and commoners into two species.”

...That's the difference in values. Wayne didn't want to explain the modern concept of equality to her, so he finished his coffee in a few gulps and said goodbye.

"I still need to go to the library. Miss Ge Li, please continue with your work."

After he left, Ge Li just sighed and went back to doing what he hadn't finished.

……

Upon arriving at the library, he saw a familiar figure.

"Huh? Tasia, what are you doing here?"

Tasia, dressed in her school uniform, sat at her work desk.

"Ah! It's Wayne." Tasia smiled when she saw him.

"Because my work-study application submitted to the academic affairs office was approved, I am now a librarian."

...Being a librarian is truly a promising career.

Wayne's expression hardened, and he patted her on the shoulder formally, saying, "Ms. Tasia! Please do a good job! I have high hopes for you!"

"...Okay, okay."

She had an adorable, bewildered expression.

Then, Wayne told her which books he wanted to borrow.

Tasia was quite surprised.

"These are the books I borrowed a couple of days ago! Just a moment, I'll go get them for you right away!"

"Wait!" Wayne suddenly called out to her, "I want to ask, Tasia, did you borrow it to complete your assignment for 'Introduction to Magic'?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing her answer, a glint of light flashed in Wayne's eyes!

Chapter 104 It's getting hot...it's on fire!

By the time he returned to the Duke's mansion, it was already dark.

The night sky was as if it had been washed clean, without a single cloud or mist. Countless stars filled the high and distant sky, twinkling with a brilliant and enduring radiance.

Under the cover of darkness, among the countless lights twinkling in every household, there is one that belongs to oneself.

"Why are you only getting back now?"

Upon entering the living room, I saw Chris lying listlessly on the sofa, flipping through a new book by the famous playwright Pokland.

“I borrowed some materials from the library,” Wayne said.

However, those materials were not the real takeaway from this trip.

The real gain was that Tasia had already completed her homework.

Ha, the teachers in the grade really underestimated these students' abilities, daring to assign the same homework to different classes on different dates.

Isn't this just blatantly letting them take advantage of loopholes?

He had thought that his request might put Tasia in a difficult position, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately after he asked tentatively.

"I believe Wayne just wanted to learn from a different approach," she said.
