The magician ignored Cosette and walked toward Mulgore.
“Mr. Mughal, please come with us.”
"Wait! I can pay it back, we can pay it back! Don't take my brother away! Don't take him away!"
Cosette had lost her composure, and instead had an expression I had never seen before, yet which seemed very familiar, as if I had seen her a few years ago.
Don't take him away!
"Sister, I'm sorry."
"Shut up!"
Snapped!
Cosette shoved Sylphie aside and slapped Mulgore across the face.
I suddenly recalled that scene, when Lord Sauros was on his deathbed:
"Even magic can't save Grandpa?! Rudeus!"
Alice roared, tears and snot streaming down her face, but all I could do was apologize to her.
"Sorry……"
"Rudeus, you can do everything! Why couldn't you save Grandpa!"
"Sorry……"
I lowered my head, no longer daring to look Alice in the eye. Her gaze seemed to want to kill me, even more terrifying than the one I had when we first met.
"You must have deliberately refused to save Grandpa! You're angry and retaliating because I always hit you!"
She grabbed me by the collar and sprayed her anger and spit directly onto my face.
"I'm...I'm sorry..."
"Please, Rudius...please...save Grandpa, I...I'll never hit you again..."
Alice was crying uncontrollably. She grabbed my hands with both of them and lay on the ground, begging me...
But I really can't save Sauros.
"..."
"Sorry……"
After a moment of silence, all I could say was "I'm sorry."
"Well!"
Alice suddenly stood up and punched me, knocking me to the ground.
Before the pain on my face had subsided, I felt something pressing down on me.
Unable to move, both arms were pinned down by her knees.
Tears, snot, and sweat slammed into my face along with fists as hard as iron hammers.
……
It's not a pleasant memory at all. Looking at Cosette now, it's as if Alice from back then is right in front of me.
"I'm so sorry, sister."
Mulgore hugged Cosette and gently stroked her head, as if to comfort her, while Cosette was already crying with tears streaming down her face.
Mulgore released Cosette and turned to face the three magicians.
"Sir, before I leave, may I do one last thing?"

……
"Sir of the Magic Association, before I leave, may I do one last thing?" Mughal turned around and smiled slightly.
The lead magician glared at him, glanced at Cosette who was already crying with tears streaming down her face, and then said to Mulgore with a stern expression:
"Okay, but I advise you not to do anything foolish. Just cooperate with the investigation; it'll be better for everyone."
"Don't worry, I knew this day would come."
Mulgore raised his hand to touch his nose, helped up Sylphie who had just been knocked to the ground by Cosette, and stared at her pair of crystal red eyes. The sunlight shone on them, making them warm and inviting, but the cold light that was not easily detected was like an undercurrent surging beneath the calm surface of the water.
"It's so cold..."
Mulgore noticed this by chance and turned away in disappointment, saying, "You won, Rudeus."
"Mulgore, what did you say?"
Hilfi withdrew the dagger-like glint in her eyes. Mulgore's words were somewhat different from what she had come to know.
Mulgore pressed his hand to his chest, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to blurt out everything in one breath.
“Listen to me, Sylphie, Rudius orchestrated everything that led us to this point. You won’t be happy with him…”
"Stop talking, Mulgore. I might be very happy with you, but I don't want a happiness that goes against my own heart."
"So...you...know...that's right..."
For a moment, Mulgore froze, desperately trying to compose himself and hold back his tears.
"Silphie... Waaah..."
"But thank you for liking me, Mulgore."
Hilfi shook her head slightly, then stepped down from the platform and left the venue.
Rudius sat in the side seat, his expression not much better than Mulgore's. The hall was very quiet as he watched Sylphie's figure gradually disappear into the distance, but he had no intention of chasing after her.
Generally speaking, Rudius would not kill a person unless his life was threatened.
However, in such a world, a soft-hearted person like Rudeus in the past cannot survive.
"If there's nothing else, I can go with you now."
Mughal's face was ashen, his head drooping, as he turned to the magicians of the Magic Association and spoke.
The lead magician pulled a scroll from his pocket, and after two other magicians chanted a spell, the scroll emitted a red light and transformed into a pair of shackles that were placed on Mulgore's wrists.
Binding scrolls are a common method used by government agencies or magic associations to escort magicians who have violated laws or other regulations. The person under the spell will have difficulty gathering magic power and will be unable to use magic for a certain period of time.
"Rudius!"
Mulgore took two steps, just about to step off the first step down the platform from the foot of the tower, when he turned and roared at the side seat:
"If you dare to make Sylphie shed another tear, I will absolutely not forgive you! I..."
"Are you done talking? It's time to go!"
"go!"
The lead magician impatiently interrupted him, and the other two magicians simply escorted Mughal away from the platform and left the venue.
The venue went from quiet to gradually becoming restless, with people whispering and discussing what had just happened.
Cosette wiped away her tears, quickly adjusting her expression. Despite her sadness, she already had a well-thought-out plan in mind.
When she sat back on the sofa, a cold and aloof aura emanated from her brows, and her lips, lightly made up with lipstick, parted slightly as she spoke:
"Quiet."
"Quiet!"
As soon as Cosette finished speaking, the two rows of student council members behind her raised their voices in unison, and the hall fell silent once again.
Whether it's the student council or Cosette's student council, no matter what happens, it seems unshakable at this moment.
She glanced at the audience, but Genius was nowhere to be seen.
"What an unreliable guy."
Cosette cursed under her breath.
"Today should have been the day of the election for the next student council president, but..."
"But your brother embezzled and amassed wealth to pursue a woman, causing your wishes to be dashed and preventing you from bringing the student council of La Noah Magic University into your own galoring!"
A tiger's roar swept by, and Dolan appeared at the entrance of the venue. He walked slowly and steadily up the platform and stood in front of Cosette.
Sunlight streamed down, exposing Dolan's entire face to the sun. His eyes were slightly closed, and a chill emanated from between his brows.
Cosette crossed her legs, smiled, poked Dolan's nose with her fingertip, and raised her head contemptuously.
"Hmph, I haven't fallen so low as to be criticized by a prisoner."
"Yes, President. It's a pity I'm not now, but your cute and obedient younger brother is, as you said, a prisoner."
Seeing Dolan's arrogant and smug look, Cosette's face turned pale and then red, her teeth grinding together as she tried her best to control her expression, finally revealing a cold laugh.
"Hmph, how ironic."
Dolan turned to the students below the stage, head held high, facing the throng of heads in the blinding sunlight.
"Hello everyone, the student council president election is still ongoing. My name is Dolan, and I am one of the candidates for president."
"Hahaha, someone who assaulted a minister and was thrown into jail, and even tried to evade Lord Milis's baptism, is someone like you even a candidate?"
Cosette sneered.
"Ha ha ha ha"
"He has a criminal record and he's still a candidate?"
"Get down now!"
The student council members also started to jeer, as if they were asserting their dominance. This student council was still Cosette's student council, and even as the vice president, Dolan had almost no place to stand now.
Even if you break a tooth, you have to bite off a piece of land to stand on!
"If I'm not fit to be a candidate, then does someone like Cosette, who used despicable means to tamper with votes to become president and even committed the cruel act of silencing witnesses, deserve to be president?!"
"what?"
What is he saying?
"real or fake?"
"That's a complete frame-up!"
Dolan's words caused the students below the stage to start whispering, and the student council members around Cosette also looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh? What other crimes have I committed? Please continue."
Cosette smiled calmly, as if acknowledging Dolan's statement.
"Stop joking!"
Dolan turned around and roared.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"Because the previous vice president discovered your secret. He never intended to expose you, but you still wanted to kill him! So you took advantage of his trip home to visit his mother—no, his mother didn't write a letter at all. You gave him false information, lured him out of the school, and then had people lying in wait kill him to silence him! How could someone as cruel as you possibly be qualified to be the student council president!"
"Do you have any proof?! You bastard!"
One of the ministers next to Cosette pointed at Dolan's nose and yelled.

……
"Do you have any proof?! You bastard!"
A minister pointed at Dolan's nose and roared.
He's right.
Cosette raised her hand to stop him, her expression more relaxed than before, a faint smile playing on her lips, while she leaned back completely on the sofa. "Go on, Dolan. You have more than just this much dirt on me."
