Chapter 707: 285

"..."x2

Veronica and Hefei froze in place, this shameless woman was simply impeccable.

Veronica grabbed Wayne’s hand, desperately signaling to Hefei with her eyes, telling her to take care of her own teacher.

Hefei shook her head helplessly, she was at her wit’s end, instead of looking for her, Veronica might as well keep a closer eye on Wayne, just like she disciplined Austin.

Speaking of deadbeats, Hefei found she’d lately been unable to control her own.

Bang bang bang!

The room’s door was knocked. Wayne frowned, while Saina’s body shuddered, then, swaying fragrantly, she approached the door and invited the guest in with open arms.

"Anastasia, what brings you here?" Saina was extremely enthusiastic.

"I’ve come to watch your farce," said Anastasia.

The two chatted and laughed as if they were the best of sisters.

Hefei, having seen similar magic dolls at the Divination House, politely asked, "Teacher, who is this lady?"

"Teacher?!"

Anastasia let out a light exclamation, gave Hefei a glance, then looked toward Veronica, who bore some resemblance to Hefei. For a moment, her thought process whirled tumultuously, as if she’d found the will to live on.

In this tiny wooden cabin unfolded such a drama, and she hoped her timing was perfect, not missing a thing.

"Let me introduce her. This is the Dark Church’s Holy Maiden Anastasia, an old acquaintance of mine," Saina said.

Saina added, "This is Hefei, my worthless student, Wayne’s teacher, and that little girl is Veronica, Hefei’s daughter."

"And Wayne’s fiancée!" Veronica declared her territory emphatically.

Such a thrill!

Anastasia felt secretly delighted, her mind buzzing with activity. Adhering to the principle of silently watching the drama unfold, she quietly moved to the window of the cabin.

Carry on, pretend she’s not there.

Laugh now while you can. Enjoy your laughter, for soon you’ll have your cry!

Saina sneered inside, considering herself well-versed in faith as Wayne’s companion, though not quite human, but she was person enough to know that Anastasia was doomed to fall. //

Await death, she’s beyond salvation!

The cabin fell silent, no one spoke.

Hefei’s forehead was marked by a string of question marks: what was the Dark Saintess doing here, should she not be seeking the Dark Knight...

Oh, what a perfect timing, she should indeed come here.

Seeing Anastasia acting as if invisible and clashing with Saina, Hefei couldn’t help but glance at her son.

Tell me, have you entangled yourself with another older woman?

Or is she, too, wild and crazy, seeking only the most primal pleasure, uninterested in love and marriage?

Spill it, tell the truth, really, mom won’t get mad.

"Ssss——"

Veronica inhaled sharply, clutching Wayne’s arm tightly: "I’m so tired, carry me up for a bath, no, you join me."

Wayne was shocked. Was this the proud Veronica he knew? Even Vili wouldn’t dare to speak like this.

He gave Anastasia a respectful nod and, scooping Veronica up in a princess carry, thumped up to the second floor of the cabin.

With the male lead gone, the show couldn’t go on. Anastasia felt regretful and, turning to Hefei, said, "Saina and I have been sisters for years, I know her all too well. You might not believe it, but she has fallen for your student and willingly became his personal mount."

Believe, why not?

Seeing that Hefei remained composed, clearly informed of her family’s misfortune, Anastasia asked emotionally, "And you, what do you think of your teacher’s behavior, do you approve of their relationship?"

"I do not!"

Hefei was emphatic, throwing a glance at Saina, who seemed nonchalant, then said to Anastasia, "Your Holiness, please have some self-respect. You are the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church, you need to maintain purity for the Goddess. My son Wayne is still a child, please be generous and spare him."

Son?

Your son and your daughter went upstairs...

Anastasia stroked her chin, utterly unable to decipher the complex family ties, and asked subconsciously, "Nobility?"

"Mm-hmm, what about it?"

"Nothing, just my narrow-mindedness," she said.

Anastasia clicked her tongue in amazement and then said, "Please don’t misunderstand, I have no designs on your son. As you said, I am a Holy Maiden of the Dark Church, needing to maintain purity, and given my current state, I’m destined to remain pure forever."

Anastasia explained her purpose for the visit; she was there to find Saina, and it had nothing to do with Wayne. She couldn’t and wouldn’t fall for Wayne, and Hefei could be assured of that.

It’s hard to say, my teacher used to not be like that, and now she doesn’t even care about her face!

Hefei said with a darkened face, "You give me a written promise."

"..."

Anastasia was completely numb, muttering that the whole family was strange, each more bizarre than the last. She waved her hands, unwilling to give a written promise.

It wasn’t true, and giving a written promise would only make her seem guilty and ill-intentioned. With her status as a Holy Maiden, she wouldn’t make such a foolish written vow.

You won’t even make a written promise, yet you say you have no designs!

Hefei was certain that, despite the old woman’s convincing act, she would soon drop the pretense and, like Saina, start hovering around his son all the time.

Stinking brat, why do you make women like you so much.

Seeing Hefei’s paranoid and obvious disbelief, Anastasia smiled wryly, having never expected that watching the fun would turn her into the fun.

She was upright and unafraid of skewed shadows and didn’t want to explain further. To Saina, who was watching the excitement, she said, "It’s been a long time, join me for a walk outside."

"No, I’m very tired and would like to go upstairs to take a bath."

"..."x2

Bang!

The scene shifted as Hefei closed the door, with an innocent-faced Saina standing outside, next to the amazed Anastasia.

"I really didn’t expect you to make a move on a student’s son. I can’t understand it; this doesn’t seem like love, and it has nothing to do with his status as an inheritor of the Naturalist Knight."

Anastasia had seen all sorts of things in her many years of life and now had to admit that she had been making a mountain out of a molehill.

She was genuinely curious. Logically, Saina and she were of the same kind, their eyes only on magic, not believing in love, and certainly not to the point of abandoning self-respect over a man.

Wanting to go upstairs for a bath, tsk tsk, how could she even say that out loud!

"Believe me, you’ll understand," Saina said with a meaningful smile, moving towards the woods behind the wooden house.

The strange smile sent shivers down Anastasia’s spine, feeling like ants crawling on her, an uncanny sense of being truly alive that she hadn’t felt in a long time without a physical body.

"Saina, what do you mean?"

Anastasia quickly followed Saina, her instincts telling her she’d be in trouble if she didn’t get a clear answer today.

What’s there to lose when already facing death?

Anastasia couldn’t figure it out, but a Legendary Mage’s intuition is never wrong. She had relied on it to survive crisis after crisis and firmly believed that Saina’s cryptic smile held a deeper meaning.

"Anastasia, you once called me proud and suspicious. Aren’t you the same? Heh, you got scared just by some casual words," Saina said.

As they walked through the forest, the little fairies around them fled, hiding in their own corners, quickly disappearing from sight.

At that moment, Saina received a mental message from Wayne and asked with a frown, "Anastasia, does the Moonlight Knight have any hobbies?"

"Hobbies?!"

"She’s been in the Icebound Continent for so many years; she can’t just stand there every day. She must have found something to pass the time, right?"

"Yes, all three knights like to play cards."

"..."

What kind of hobby is that, utterly ridiculous.

Saina wanted to ask more, continuing as instructed, "What kind of card games does the Moonlight Knight like, and who does she usually play with?"

"Any game is fine; she’s really addicted to cards, not picky about how to play. She usually plays with the other two knights, and occasionally she would invite me. Now it’s not possible, as the seal is in grave danger, and she has given up her hobby of playing cards."

Anastasia asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

"Coincidentally, I also like playing cards."

"Forget it, Lord Dreyne..."

"How should I put it, although her card skills are very good, she can’t stand to lose. She gets angry and might flip the table."

"And curse people!"
