Chapter 165 - 157

The Head Patriarch had spoken and the people choked with their ridicules. It was perhaps due to the sudden interferernce of the Head Patriarch as it was rare for him to be concerned with her daughters little schemes, made them realized that the second miss although she was a bit unfavored between her and the first miss. It was unpardonable for a father to see her precious daughter to be laughed by any people.

And also no one would want to anger the second highest authority under the Royal Family. The Left and Right Advisors were trusted people of the Supreme Ruler so it was guaranteed that they authority was second only to the Royal Family and between the Left and Right Advisors, they stood equal in power. 

"I said apologize to your sister now!" the stern voice of the Head Patriarch resounded as it made the frozen stiff due to surprise first miss to tremble and realized that their father was truly displeased with her actions.

Emery unconsciously ċȧrėssed her face who resembled their late mother's visage. The teary-eyed crestfallen face of his older daughter softened the Head Patriarch's tone as sighed, "Emery, you know what's best for you."

"Yes, father." The first miss bowed while her voice was a bit resentful as she turned to her silent younger sister. "Sorry, Amper."

Then she dashed away in their residence after being humiliated. It was her first time to be shouted like that by their father although he would correct her sometimes but it was not like in that tone. Would he give the title to her younger sister?

'No!' she would not agree with that. Giving the head title to a murderer like that! 

The first miss with reddened eyes gritted her teeth in anger as she hasten her run to escape the scene. It seemed that her schemes should be more covert now. She wouldn't allow to tarnish her image in front of her father again, it was just a second of mistake. She wouldn't be careless next time.

The Head Patriarch massaged his head in worry while he ordered a maidservant to look after the first miss. He looked towards the still silent second miss on the stage. It wasn't strange for her to be calm after being schemed by her older sister. 

He was always in know every behind the scenes plots that Emery would lay for her younger sister. Although he knew, he didn't prevent it as he had no plan to meddle with their fight for the title but it seemed that he was too tolerating that led his older daughter to be more courageous in front important people, most of all, in front of him.

"Amper, you may go back to your seat."

The Head Patriarch stood up as he stated to his attending ȧssistant, "Ruiz, handle this matter." and then he left.

"Yes, master." the middle-aged man smiled as he took the lead of the event. It could be seen that he handled well the atmosphere but it didn't go back to the boisterous aura a while ago.

Chun wasn't paying attention to this happenings as her sight followed the lone figure alighting from the stage as the second miss silently took her seat. Even though she may ȧssumed her calm demeanor while she smiled faintly at the staring silver haired young man. Chun found that her smile was different from her usual faint smile, it was a bit …somber?

She was sad.

-------------

The silver haired young man grumbled under her blankets as the eight prince across her complained at her noise and he turned around to sleep. Though, Daeil was snoring like a pig at the other side, unbothered by it.

Chun was amused that Feng Cui, a Royal family member declined the offered private luxurious room and his comfortable bed at their royal residence (remember that the dorm buildings were just meters away from the residence of the Royal family inside the school). Because he wanted to room in with the silver haired young man. 

Fortunately, the rooms offered by each dorms were able to accomodate three students. It wasn't like double-deck beds as it were three plain covered simple beds that could only hold one person sleeping on it. It wasn't too big nor too small, just enough for Chun to sleep on although, it was regrettable that she missed her bed back in her penthouse. But while looking at that stubborn eighth prince who was sleeping uncomfortably at the simple bed, the silver haired young man was rest ȧssured.

But she wasn't grumbling about missing her bed back at Xanxia nor this bed that she was laying on, the silver haired young man was having a headache regarding about her first target.

The second miss wasn't that simple as it seemed. Chun thought that she figured out the thought process of Amper but she had miscalculated there and the reactions from the event that she attended proved it.

Amper Morai had a contradicting personality, she wanted to bring down her older sister but she didn't also want too. She wanted the title but she was hesitating. If the second miss wasn't hesitating then she would been the head of the Morai Household long ago. 

If the silver haired young man enumerated all of her allies with her, she could already suppress her older sister even making her father step down from the head title. It might appear that the first miss had backings of the three princes but Chun had heard that they weren't as influential as the fifth prince who was supporting the second miss which that led Chun to ask.

"Why?"

It appered that this worth wasn't so simple.

Poink!

The silver haired young man who was deep in thought suddenly awakened from the pillow that hit her square on the face. 

"I said quiet." Feng Cui mumbled as he used his pillow to cover his ears and even his face. 

'Is he going to suffocate himself now?' Chun shrugged as she turned back from the eighth prince and enter her dreamland.

"Did you hear that Miss Eliza will be visiting?!" 

"Yes, I'm excited to see her ethereal beauty!" 

Squeals was heard at the early morning before the first period of class as the silver haired young man went in. Her fluffy white hair turned more fluffier due to its dishevelled state. 

Chun couldn't be bothered with her classmates squabbles as she ruffled again her hair while she took a sit. Daia who was her classmate for this subject was seated in front of her as she turned to ask the silver haired young man's matter.

"I'm fine."

"You seemed to be okay though." Daia said while she took a glance at the bright shinning apearance of the silver haired young man added with her soft ruffled hair, it gave more allure to her beauty.

'Such an ignorant handsome young man.' She sighed while discreetly observing their surrounding classmates with starry eyes. Even the males were a bit red face with Chun's obliviousness.

Daia shrugged as she decided to keep silent with it and the silver haired young man doesn't need help about this, she could handle herself.

Chun tilted her head in question with the other's strange behavior but Chun didn't bothered to it while looking at the running magic clock in front of them. It had still ten minutes before the teacher arrives. 

'Xuan.'

The snobbish system was just beside her, standing there in a relax manner. It was truly inconvenient to be unable to talk through her thoughts with the other but Chun took the alternative route. It wouldn't be weird if one didn't see what she wrote.

Luckily, Xuan was in the mood to tail her so she grabbed this opportunity to talk with him. 

"What is it?" 

Looking around, it was really amazing that no one could perceive that there was another being with her.

Chun started to write again.

'Somehow I figured out the hint of the mission card.'

Xuan frowned as he replied, "What hint?"

'The Worth of the first target.'

"Oh." His disinterested tone made the happy silver haired young man dissatisfied. Hearing from that someone who was ordering you to hurry up with it, wouldn't it make you unsatisfied as well?

Well, it was an expected reaction of the snobbish system because his only purpose here was to remind her the missions and protect her from any threats of her life. So far the latter didn't happen yet.

The silver haired young man was about to write again but her untimely teaher went in with an excited expression. Like she had saw her saving grace…?

Or might be she encountered an enthralling beauty in her way.

"Class, listen up. Miss Eliza is here!"

'Teacher, aren't you too obvious?'
