Chapter 19 [The Girl with No Names] Makes Her Debut
Felicity Calder.
She is Rhodes' childhood sweetheart and the second princess of the Linlank Empire.
He is also one of Rhodes' future teammates and the future emperor of the Linlank Empire.
If given a label, Rhodes would definitely give her "three no's" (no job, no job, no job).
This is true.
She is someone who doesn't understand gender differences and is unwilling to understand them.
She could freely act coquettishly towards Rhodes, and she could also naturally say those things that were difficult for others to say in front of Rhodes.
It's not that she's open-minded, but rather that she lacks any sense of management in any aspect.
The simplest example is when she casually picked up a book on physiology and anatomy in the palace and asked Rhodes a question:
[Luo, why, the so-called silver... (omitting a hundred words... inserting... (omitting a hundred words)... fertilized egg... gene...]
Even now, when Rhodes thinks back on it, he still feels incredibly hot.
after all--
Felicity's father was standing behind them at the time.
"..."
Forget the past.
He immediately rubbed his eyes and got up.
Yes.
In front of the sofa where Rhodes was lying, there was a girl whose hair reflected a golden luster under the moonlight. She was squatting there obediently, her hands cupping her cheeks.
Blonde hair wasn't her only distinguishing feature; at least her light blue eyes made her expression even more gentle.
However, she was dressed in glamorous attire.
A small lace crystal clip adorned the top of her golden hair, and her expensive aristocratic court attire cinched her slender waist, while her light-colored high heels subtly revealed the shape of her delicate feet.
It was her—that three-nothing, Miss Felicity.
Rhodes never expected that he would meet the person he was supposed to meet at the Duke's mansion tomorrow, but he actually met him today.
What's going on?
Rhodes was still lost in confusion when Felicity spoke up:
"Why are you sleeping in the living room, Dr. Luo?"
The girl still held her face in her hands, tilted her head, and her amber-gold eyes blinked with her delicate eyebrows as she asked in a gentle manner.
"...I still need to ask you, why did you come back?" Rod rubbed his messy hair and asked in return.
"I was worried about you. I heard you were attacked." Felicity finally let go, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertips, then letting it fall again, hugging her knees. "So I rushed back."
"Huh?" Rhodes was slightly taken aback. "Ah...is that so?"
He didn't remember Felicity rushing back after his previous accident.
But enough strange things have happened today... Felicity occasionally comes back unexpectedly, so this is all too normal, so normal that Rhodes doesn't even bother to think about it anymore.
Sleepiness – After a long day of work, you only get a short nap before being woken up. Anyone else wouldn't want to think.
"Thank you for your kindness, my dear Hiti." Rhodes nodded. "Time to go back to sleep, Hiti. Goodnight."
"Hey." Felicity immediately pulled Rod back from lying down, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry, "You only see me after a month, and this is all you're going to do?"
"It's late at night."
"I know, that's why I woke you up so we could go back to the house and sleep together, Luo."
Ok?
Rod felt that Felicity's words were a bit strange... What did she mean by "go back to the house together"? Did she mean for him to go back to his own house?
He immediately explained:
"It's a long story. My room is currently occupied by guests, so I have to sleep outside."
"I can guess," Felicity replied. "What's her name? Is she a girl?"
Felicity's voice sounded a little strange, but Rod didn't pay it any mind. After all, he had no suspicions about his childhood sweetheart.
"Hiti's gossiping now? But it's not like it's anything that can't be talked about. Her name is Lilith."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Felicity's lips slowly closed.
The joy I felt just moments ago vanished in an instant.
That's right, I knew it was her, so why did I ask...?
Felicity felt a sense of disorientation as she recalled those past memories.
Some things we only understand after we lose them, and some things we don't understand only become clear after we've been taught them.
Now, having lost it, she understands.
When she finally came to her senses and realized that Rhodes was already standing next to Lilith, she understood what emotions were.
But what's the use of that?
A belated understanding can no longer change anything.
She could only cry alone in the rain, hiding to one side, unable to even lift her head and muster the courage to bless them.
This is her ridiculous past.
He was clearly the person closest to Rhodes, but in the end, he became someone so far away from him.
She...regretted it.
At least, when she stood there again, she knew she had to do something.
So-called "love" only becomes more intense when possessiveness increases.
Felicity's eyes flashed with scrutiny, but in an instant they returned to a slightly dazed look as she looked at Rhodes.
"It's a girl... no wonder. Why don't you let her sleep in my room?" Felicity whispered.
"How dare I do this without your permission? It's very rude of me."
Rhodes replied, preparing to turn over and go back to sleep, but then suddenly remembered something—
"By the way, it's quite a coincidence, you just came back from the Duke's mansion, and I'm about to go there."
"Um?"
Professor Merrick gave me a task.
Because Phillips is currently in turmoil, she fears there may be people with ill intentions, so she asked me to bring the Duke's daughter to the academy for protection.
"Huh?" Felicity's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "Why did she ask you to do this task?"
"It has something to do with you, because you're one of the few people who can chat with that lady. Considering various factors, she passed the task to me."
"Is that so?" Felicity fell silent for a moment, her mind seemingly engaged in unusual thought.
This is strange, what's going on?
Professor, are you dealing with something that you couldn't get through in the past?
Her eyes narrowed slightly, unable to understand what had caused the change, but she still reached out and gently stroked Rod's cheek, saying with a hint of guilt, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Yes, compared to those things, she cared more about whether the man in front of her had caused her more trouble.
"No, it's not your fault. Professor Merrick just dumped this task on me. You know, right? This isn't a simple escort mission."
"Yes, Miss Ivina's spirit..." Felicity was about to respond to Rhodes, but immediately stopped herself.
Because she suddenly thought of something that made her unhappy.
What does it mean that Rhodes accepted this mission?
He couldn't possibly be unaware of the significance of bringing Miss Ivina out... it's practically the same as making Miss Ivina fall in love with him.
"Rhodes... even I can barely keep up with Miss Ivina, you know that?" she asked, skeptical.
