It seems I've been busy with blackboard stuff since I entered school, and then I ran away with Mr. Merlin, which delayed me for a while. I've never actually heard of who the student council president is.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know."

"Cosette Galorin."

Caroline...

This surname sounds very familiar to me; it's the culprit behind my and Sylphie's infamous reputation, Pedro Caroline.

Since they share the surname Caroline, they must all be family.

The mere thought of that surname fills me with rage; I feel an urge to sever their entire clan and chop them into pieces!

Caroline...

"Lord Rudius? Your expression is terrifying."

As she spoke, Lilith placed her hand on my shoulder, and my mood gradually calmed down.

"Feel sorry."

"Lord Rudius, since we are going to cooperate, let me see your abilities by becoming the next student council president. In the meantime, I will do my best to assist you."

I remember Ms. Merlin mentioned to me that I should join the student council, saying it would be good for me.

Will I become the student council president?

Since I've already vowed to climb to the top step by step, I'll start by practicing as the student council president.

"Okay, I promise you."

“That’s right. Although I know that the Garolin family and Lord Rudeus have a grudge, the fact that Lord Rudeus can make a choice shows that we are the same kind of people. I look forward to the days when I can cooperate with Lord Rudeus in the future.”

After saying that, Lilith pushed open the door to the student council room.

"Rudy?"

"Silphie?"

What are you doing here?

……

"Silphie?"

What are you doing here?

As soon as Lilith opened the door to the student council room, I met the eyes of a long-eared girl with emerald green hair.

She seemed to panic the moment she saw me. Her face turned pale instantly, and she stood there motionless. I abandoned Lilith, who was traveling with me, and rushed to Silphie's side, but she was trembling violently.

I reached out to pat her shoulder to calm her down, but Silphie took a half step back.

She seemed afraid of something; was it related to me?

Or perhaps it was because they saw me and Lilith traveling together.

“Silphie…you…”

"It's strange that Lord Rudeus's little girlfriend is standing with Lord Rudeus's enemy..."

Lilith stood in front of the door saying something, and listening to her talk, it seemed like she had a spectator's mentality.

Hearing what Lilith said, I then noticed a man and a woman who were also in the room.

The boy looked familiar. He was wearing a white student council uniform and had blond hair. I remember seeing him last time in Vice Principal Genius's office. What was his name again?

I turned to him, and unlike Hilfi, he didn't have that panicked look on his face.

Instead, his eyes were fixed on me.

"Is there something on my face, Bloodhoof?"

[Note: Bloodhoof refers to Baine Bloodhoof, the Tauren chieftain, a prudent and wise man who was placed on the throne after a terrible conspiracy against his father, Cairne Bloodhoof.]

Since the Tauren migrated to the Mulgore Plains, Baine has tirelessly strived to protect his people and defend against the incursions of the local centaurs.

"Oh no, um, Rudius, my name is Mulgore."

Oh, right, I remember now, his name is Mulgore. I got confused because he lives in the Bloodhoof tribe.

But I didn't have a good impression of him, and I didn't feel any intention of apologizing.

"You must be Rudius."

Seeing that I had nothing to say to Mulgore, I turned to face the source of the voice, another woman in the room.

Her face was fairly clean, even her eyebrows were pitifully sparse. Her tall figure was wrapped in a gray-black student council uniform, and her long yellow hair was tied into a neat ponytail. If I'm not mistaken, she should be the student council president.

She sat in a chair near the desk, her left leg crossed over her right, her arm resting on the table, looking quite interested, like a wealthy lady who had taken a fancy to a piece of jewelry in a jewelry store.

Suddenly I remembered someone, it seems to be Philip, he also observed me with that same look.

"Yes, that's me."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Cosette Galorin, and this is my younger brother, Mugore Galorin. During this time, he has often been taken care of by his classmate Hilfiet, who is traveling with Rudeus. On behalf of my brother, I would like to thank Rudeus and Miss Hilfiet."

It turns out that Mulgore also had the surname Galorin.

Hearing her words, I turned my gaze to Sylphie and Mulgore once again. Just as Lilith had said, Sylphie seemed to be on the side of my enemies, but did that have nothing to do with Sylphie?

Although I had mentally prepared myself to tolerate the Carolingian family before entering, my mind went completely blank when I heard Cosette Carolingian say such things.

My eyes turned to Sylphie, who suddenly turned her head away. Had she let go of those things?

Or is she going to betray me? No, Silphie would never betray me.

"By the way, regarding what my father did to Rudeus and Hilfiet in Dark City, my brother and I have already apologized to Hilfiet on my father's behalf. Here, I would like to apologize to Rudeus as well."

"I'm so sorry, Rudius."

Does that mean that Sylphie accepted the apology?

What should I do now? Should I confront Sylphie?

No, Cosette Caroline might have had ulterior motives for saying those words. If I did something to Sylphie, it would surely fulfill Cosette Caroline's wishes, just like what happened in Dark City.

No, I need to calm down, calm down.

There must be someone who can help me.

I looked at Lilith standing in front of the door with a pleading look. She crossed her arms and casually fiddled with her long brown hair, completely in an attitude of watching the show.

No, I can't do this. If I falter now, what's the point of all the determination I just made? My resolve to climb step by step will just become a fantasy.

"Whoo~"

I took deep breaths, slowly adjusting my breathing, and my rapid heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Um, Rudius..."

Mulgore walked towards me, shivering as he walked. He seemed afraid of me, after all, he should know all too well about my relationship with Sylphie.

"Ah, Mulgore, thank you in advance for taking care of Sylphie while I was away."

"Ah... no, that Rudeus classmate..."

Did I see that right? He actually blushed? It seems he's more innocent than I thought.

Cosette Caroline just mentioned that they are siblings. Is it true that behind every shrewd older sister is a foolish younger brother?

"Is that right, Silphiet?"

I inadvertently let my emotions get into my words; I should have called her Silphie.

"Um……"

For some reason, I unintentionally called out Sylphie's full name. Sylphie didn't say anything, just hummed in response. Perhaps, a distance has indeed grown between Sylphie and me.

But I don't think Sylphie has ever done anything to wrong me. Even if she has, I have no right to say anything to her. As for Lilith, I betrayed her first. It's already too much for me to break my principles. I can't impose my will on Sylphie.

"Are you finished? Lord Rudeus, we're here to discuss serious matters."

Lilith walked over; she had probably lost interest in the "drama."

And who are you?

Cosette Caroline raised her chin and spoke in an arrogant tone.

“My name is Lilith. I am a new student this year, a first-year student in Class C. I am Lord Rudeus’s assistant.”

"I see."

"We're here to join the student council."

Upon hearing this, Cosette smiled in surprise, but her expression quickly returned to calm.

"Hilufiette is also here to join the student council."

"Hmph, what Hilfiet does has nothing to do with me and Lord Rudeus, Student Council President. But speaking of which, Lord Rudeus and I would like to make a bet with you."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Cosette Caroline showed increasing interest, and even her tone of voice became much gentler.

What kind of bet? I've never heard of that! Don't try to scam me, Lilith.

"I'm sure the student council president is worried about the student cliques in the Kingdom of Asura and the Kingdom of Dragon King, as well as those two beastmen ladies, Linia and Prusena."

"Oh? It seems that Lilith and Rudeus have made preparations. I am indeed worried about them. They have almost become a major hidden danger in the school, but they are also very strong. I am really troubled."

Lilith had placed both hands on the table, and her face slowly moved closer to Cosette Caroline.

"Then I'll bet with Lord Rudeus that we can resolve these two issues within a month. In return, Lord Rudeus will join the student council as the head of the discipline department. I think the student council president has the authority to appoint a department head, right?"

A month? I don't even know who they are! Don't just agree to anything!

Cosette Galorin leaned back in her seat, a smile playing on her lips, a smile that carried a hint of treachery.

"Very well, I agree."

Lilith turned to look at me and said, "You'll definitely be able to do it well, right, Lord Rudeus?"

Is this the beginning of our collaboration? Miss Lilia, well, since we've come this far, I, as the collaborator, should at least show some sincerity.

"Yes, please prepare the position of minister for me when the time comes, Miss Cosette. Oh no, Student Council President."

"Great, Rudius, I'm getting more and more excited about what will happen after you join the student council."

Chapter 122: Thick Barrier

……

Hilfi's ears drooped, tears welled in her eyes, and her gaze drifted to a corner on the ground; she was avoiding it.

Although Rudius didn't look at her with particularly hurtful eyes or say anything rude, she had been flustered ever since he entered the room.

She had been mentally prepared for this beforehand.

Rudeus might be angry to see herself mingling with the Carolingian family, but for Rudeus's sake and for her own, she could accept it even if Rudeus was angry.

But when the event actually happens, all the mental preparation will vanish.

In reality, Rudius wasn't as angry as one might expect. He didn't say anything hurtful, and he didn't even convey disappointment, anger, or disgust to her.

However, Rudius called her by her full name, something he hadn't done in a long time.

"Hilfiete, are you alright?"

Mulgore stood beside Sylphie, his hand gently resting on her shoulder.

"Rudius and Lilith have been gone for a long time. Let's go to class, Silphiette."

She did not respond, but slowly raised her hand and gently pushed Mughal away.

With trembling hands, he picked up the textbook for the next class from the desk beside him.

"Maybe... Rudy doesn't like me anymore."
