Although he had expected it, the result was even crazier than he thought.
The women's college adheres to a closed education, and the entry and exit restrictions are stricter than Thors. Although this can regulate the words and deeds of the girls, it also suppresses their nature.
Whenever outsiders enter the school, girls always react loudly.
Two years ago, when the old Class VII visited for internship, they experienced this once - they were watched as if they were precious animals, and they were commented on and talked about.
Machias, who was least good at dealing with girls, even left a psychological shadow.
This time, although the number of people was smaller, the scene was more than ten times upgraded.
The attention gift is upgraded to follow the whole process.
Whispering discussions escalated into crazy screams.
Some girls who are more courageous come over to ask for autographs, or ask about the relationship between Rean and Alfin.
This is the reason for the upgrade.
When I visited last time, Class VII was not very famous. At most, there were only a few people with second-generation auras.
The person leading the way was not Elfin, but Rean's sister Elysee, just the daughter of a baron.
It’s different now.
Elfin is the most famous woman in the empire.
Even if Rean's popularity is not number one in the empire, he can still be ranked in the top five.
Elfin is a princess.
Rean is a knight.
Princesses and knights are an enduring love theme in the continent of Samria.
What's more, the knight really rescued the princess two years ago and took her to fight in the north and south.
In addition, the two are close in age, with only two years apart, and the sense of CP comes out immediately.
Since the end of last year, the intimate conversation between the two at the "Northern Campaign" celebration banquet was exposed, and the outside world has been speculating on the relationship between the two.
Now the two of them appeared together, at a women's college where girls gather together. The popularity and topic instantly exploded, and it has been rising all the way, and it can't stop at all.
Some streets near the women's college even thought that the girls inside were rioting.
Rean's mood was just the opposite. He went from trying to be calm at the beginning, to becoming more and more cramped, to just wanting to find a hole in the ground to crawl into - the Sword Master was not in a good mood.
On the contrary, Alfin is always calm, faces everyone with a smile, and can even say hello to acquaintances.
Fortunately, she finally noticed Rean's embarrassment, and took out the lady's admonishment from the women's college, saying that she should be a lady and not leave a bad impression on the Gray Knight, which calmed down the madness of the girls.
However, before Li En could thank him, she dropped another bombshell, grabbing Li En's hand and running with him into the student union hall.
Eyeballs were left all over the place, followed by a burst of even crazier screams and discussions.
"Holding hands, holding hands!"
"Wow~ Her Highness the Princess took the initiative!"
"So bold~~~~~~~~"
Rean, who was being led, was already dumbfounded. He never expected that Alfin would do such a thing.
Although I know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is not as innocent as the public thinks, holding a man's hand in public is still a bit too much.
When Li En came to his senses, he was already on the second floor of the student union.
Because he was running a little too fast, Elfin's already developed chest was rising and falling, and a slight blush appeared on his face, which further highlighted the beauty of this imperial treasure.
But Li En didn't want to appreciate it, so he hesitated for a while and finally took his hand back: "Your Highness Alfin——"
Elfin reacted faster than Rean, clasping his hands together and shrinking his head: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment."
"I couldn't help it..." Li En's heart skipped a beat.
With Miao Jie's previous experience, he was really afraid that this unconventional princess would say something bold.
"Because Mr. Li En's expression is so funny, I can't help but want to tease him."
Elfin stuck out his tongue, and before Li En could breathe a sigh of relief, Elfin blinked again and said,
"Or, Mr. Li En is expecting another answer. Your charm is too great, and I was captured by you accidentally."
In response, Rean just called out expressionlessly: "Your Highness the Princess."
Alfin immediately stopped being playful and lowered his head lower: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Are you... angry?"
"I'm not angry." Li En sighed helplessly, "I just feel that this will damage the reputation of Her Highness the Princess."
"Ah, as long as Mr. Rean agrees to that request, there will be no harm." Elfin's head was still lowered, but he raised his eyelids and peeked at Rean.
"Okay." Li En nodded in agreement.
Such a straightforward attitude made Alfin stunned:
"Eh? You... agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed."
"I'm talking about the promise to be my dance partner at the Midsummer Ball."
"That's what I said."
Midsummer itself is nothing, just an annual celebration.
But this year's Midsummer Festival is different. Elfin, who has turned seventeen by then, will attend a social dance for the first time.
According to the tradition of the empire, the partner you dance with for the first time has a very special meaning, and it is very likely that you will be the partner for a lifetime.
So many people are looking forward to this dance to see who is the current number one candidate for the Prince Consort.
The blush on Elfin's face spread instantly and spread to her neck. She was embarrassed and uneasy, but also a little hopeful: "Li, Mr. Li En..."
"But I have one more condition: Elyse will also attend the dance, and - I will also be her dance partner."
"What does this mean——?"
"Your Highness is so smart, you can't help but understand."
"That's it." Alfin understood.
If Rean dances alone with her, no matter who it is, he will be regarded as a candidate for a consort, but if there is another woman of the right age, the answer will be difficult to say.
Although the empire still retains many feudal traditions, and many nobles do have concubines and mistresses, Elfin is the princess after all, and it is obviously inappropriate for you to publicly engage in "you are all my wings".
"It's a very powerful approach. It seems that Mr. Li En has thought about it carefully. However, this is tantamount to a disguised rejection of me. I always feel a little sad."
"You just happened to tease me earlier, so it's even."
Li En finally couldn't help it, and the corners of his mouth raised.
In fact, this idea was not his idea, but Alfin's masterpiece before his comeback. He and Elise were worried about this for a while.
It seems that you haven't figured it out yet - use your strategy and fight back a little, of course you will be in a good mood.
"Mr. Rean is evil-minded." Alfin muttered with a pout.
"Learned from His Highness." After his comeback, Rean's rank has indeed improved a lot.
"Really, Elysee is becoming more and more impeccable, and so is Mr. Li En - I have really lost to you."
Elfin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and begging for mercy.
"Let's go, let's go find Elise, she is already the student council president of this college."
