Dozens of meters below the vaulted ceiling, the voices of three young people were faint but clear. The light in the hall was like the soft glow of dusk, casting a golden filter over their figures.

"Karen, I'm so sorry, but I still want to go with Sophia."

Enoel finally made up her mind and sincerely apologized to Karen.

His posture, head bowed down, made it utterly impossible to imagine him as a prince.

Karen's eyes widened as she looked at him, as if she couldn't believe that Anorel would change her mind at the last minute.

Immediately, she retracted her head slightly and smiled with some relief.

"As expected…Lord Enol must surely despise me."

Karen's voice began to tremble, she was deeply hurt but forced a smile through her tears.

"As a woman of such humble standing, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet someone like Your Highness without a stroke of luck."

"No, absolutely not."

Aenor saw Karen's reaction and was immediately flustered, at a loss for words on how to explain to Karen, who could shatter with just a touch.

Guilt was about to overwhelm him.

Could it be that I've made the wrong judgment again

He didn't know why, lately, whenever he had to make a choice, it seemed like no matter what he chose, it was the wrong one.

Aenor looked to Ranchi for help, as was her way.

Dear best friend, save me!

However.

At this point, even Lance's expression was no longer composed, but became serious as he gazed at Karen.

On the sixth floor of the library, Sophia was so angry she pounded her fist against the stone railing.

"Here she comes again! I now understand her way of using retreat as an advance, but this time she's gone too far. It makes it seem like we from the Kingdom of Hulton are bullying people!"

Sophia gritted her teeth and said.

Last time, outside the Dean's office on the main floor of the Sage's House, Karen did something like this to Enol, leaving him spinning around.

Sophia knew that even if Eleanor saw through Karen's manipulative nature, she would still prioritize Karen and put the bigger picture first.

Sophia was so upset that she burst into tears and could only flee in defeat. She stumbled upon the old humanities building by accident and met the student council president and vice president who were passing by.

Now, Karen has given up on directly influencing the prince's words.

But facing the prince's breach of contract, she could defend herself, leaning against the wall, occupying a disadvantaged position.

On the other hand, whatever Anor and Lance said next sounded like they were bullying and envying the poor girl from the Alolan kingdom.

Sophia saw that the expression on Lanchi downstairs had also become serious, and she knew something was wrong.

Perhaps Lance also felt the pressure, having no answer for Nakajima!

"That's it..."

Huberly looked down, her expression calm.

It seems like they don't think Lance is facing any difficulties.

Her reaction shocked Sophia who was standing nearby.

Huba, when did you become like this!

Do you know that you also look like a high-level bad woman

At Sophia's astonishment, she once again turned her gaze to the floor below.

On the massive circular rug in the center of the base level plaza, a young man with a serious expression but kind eyes stood out. His emerald gaze was deep like the night sky, and among the three, he seemed to act as a bridge.

"His Royal Highness, Aenor, is the most approachable prince. He is loved by the citizens of the capital and his classmates. Even to me, who is just a commoner, he treats me as a brother, so please do not misunderstand His Royal Highness Aenor anymore."

Ranch earnestly said to Karen.

He worked hard to maintain Ainol, and when Ainol heard this, he looked at Lance gratefully and happily. If it weren't for the fact that the atmosphere was too heavy because of Karen at this time, he would have rushed over to hug Lance.

Besides, Karen, even though you were born into a commoner family, your talent is overflowing. I believe any royal family in the world would see your potential and regard you as a treasure. So please don't underestimate yourself anymore.

Lanchi continued to speak to Karen.

His topics were not just responses, but often inspirations, providing young people with a fresh perspective and helping them see the world's complexity and beauty more clearly.

"……"

Karen fell silent for a moment, unable to speak for ages.

What's it like to be called into the principal's office for a talk...

Sophia, at the edge of the sixth terrace, was startled.

"!!"

At this point, there's no need to follow Karen's self-deprecation. You should defend Eleanor instead.

Even praising Karen further, she was so gentle that Karen couldn't refute it. Karen had no choice.

Sophia, through her telescope, noticed Elnor's expression in the distance. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Lanchi were a girl, or if Elnor were a girl—how completely smitten Elnor would be with Lanchi...

That's right.

Then why doesn't Lance have a girlfriend now

Sophia could only look at Huberlian in bewilderment.

And Sophia also began to wonder, was Lance playing chess with Karen, or was he truly that innocent and pure at heart

"Don't look at me, he has a lot of duality, and I can't explain it either..."

Hubert noticed Sophia's confused expression and closed his eyes, saying,

As the most authoritative ranch scholar at present, she is still researching and exploring.

"…I hope you can figure him out soon."

Sophia increasingly felt that the woman most likely to control Ranchi was Hyberlian.

There are only two ways to control an abnormal creature like the Ranch—

Either understand Ranch, or conquer Ranch.

Without considering the possibility of "conquering Ranchi," there is no woman who has surpassed Hubberly in understanding Ranchi.

However, it seems Huberly doesn't seem to have any romantic interest at the moment.

After all, she didn't have any real competition, so she never considered anything else.

Of course, Sophia wanted to come. With Lance's incredible skills, he was absolutely impossible to fall into a love storm, let alone have a disastrous fallout that triggered a nuclear-level shura field.

……

The ground floor hall fell silent once more, the edges of its iridescent stained glass floor shimmering like waves, weaving a tapestry of vibrant colors. Each small tile seemed to reflect a tale from history.

KaLien's gaze drifted across the colors, her eyes cast downward.

She has already realized it.

This man before you is no ordinary person.

In the last competition, Adams being hospitalized was highly controversial. In reality, Lynch had no responsibility at all. The content of the competition was chosen by Adams himself, and Lynch tried his best to persuade him, doing everything he could. It was Adams who didn't listen.

After actually meeting him, even Karen began to wonder if this black-haired green-eyed guy was really stirring up trouble, or if he was truly as warm and sunny as he seemed, full of kindness for everyone.

But she has never been afraid of anyone.

Okay, since you want to play, I'll play with you properly.

She glanced at Lance, a hint of seriousness in her emerald eyes.
