Chapter Thirty-Seven: Ice Snake Chris

  In the late afternoon after school, many students curiously gathered at the entrance of Bellows Academy.

  As the lord of Veros Castle, Count Nass, the son of the castle lord Shawn, the principal of Veros Academy Embas, and the director of education Wood.

  The upper echelons of Veros Castle and Veros Academy were quietly waiting at the entrance of the academy.

  It seems like they are waiting for someone, but who is this big shot that makes it worth their while to wait so anxiously.

  Sean was once dissatisfied and became a regular in the college exchange competition. He tried to persuade Xingyou to quit with force, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

  His father had once told him that Duke Chris, who now controlled the kingdom's economy, personally arrived at Beross City.

  Originally, a grand welcoming ceremony was planned at the city gate. However, Duke Chris sent someone to remind them in advance that there was no need for such formalities and he would wait for them at Berros College instead.

  Standing at the top of the entire Berros city, Shawn looked at those whispering students with a proud face.

  He is not on the same level as these classmates, he is destined to be a high-ranking person in Beross City!

  He didn't know Liliana's surname, but he fantasized about her crawling in front of him and becoming a sacrifice to power.

  Just as Shawn was daydreaming, a carriage with an ordinary appearance but extremely luxurious, with the Nine Bright Patterns carved on its side, finally appeared in front of the gate of Berros College.

  As Berros' Dean Embas gazed at that emblem, he was familiar with even the Bryan and all the major family emblems across the continent.

  Together with the castle lord, all the high-ranking officials of Veros Castle bowed their heads in respect, waiting for the arrival of His Excellency the Duke.

  The scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of the carriage moving slowly forward, and the carriage stopped in front of everyone.

  The car door was slowly opened, and in front of the high-ranking Beross who didn't dare to make a sound, a middle-aged man wearing a suit with a nine-yao pattern embroidery came out.

  No obese physique of nobility, tall and strong, golden long hair, slightly narrowed eyes, without saying any language.

  Just standing there gave extreme pressure to others, including Embas and Count Nas.

  He is standing at the top of the pyramid of power in the Kingdom of Brian, Liriana's father, known to the people of the capital as Duke Chris, the Ice Snake!

  Duke Chris, who was followed by only one bodyguard, spoke in a flat tone, but gave off an unyielding impression.

  "Are you just the few of you?"

  Embas's heart skipped a beat, and there were only a handful of people in the entire Bellrose Academy who knew Liriana's true identity.

  He was one of them, who knew that Duke Chris asked who is his birth woman, Liliana Chris!

  However, a sudden commotion arose from among the crowd, and four people squeezed out of the crowd.

  Xing You, Leizi, Sairon and Liliana.

  Sean, who had been bowing all along, looked at the few people who actually came out at this time.

  He didn't know how many people's identities were there, and he secretly scolded Xing You and others for being sick and wanting to show off.

  "Starlight, Serlon, Liriana. What are you people doing? How dare you be so rude in front of Duke Chris!"

  Cailon looked at Shawn's proud face and couldn't understand. He also knew about the conflict between Shawn and Xingyou, but he didn't pay attention to it.

  Because in Shawn's eyes, as the son of the city lord, he was just a clown, not worth mentioning!

  In one of the three colleges of the kingdom, in Beross College, there are no more people with various identities higher than Shao.

  But like Shawn, there are few who can tarnish the reputation of the nobility and be so arrogant! What makes him so arrogant, just because he is the son of the city lord?

  Too lazy to deal with such a jester, followed Liliana to the front of Duke Chris.

  In the presence of Lord Nasb, Dean Embas, ignored Shawn, and many students of Berros College.

  Liliana stood before Duke Christo, meeting his gaze unflinchingly for the first time, this father who controlled the lives and deaths of countless people.

  "It's been a long time, Father!"

  Xiao Nuo's hand, which had been raised all along, trembled slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

  Lilianna, who was just a genius commoner in her own mind, is actually the daughter of Duke Chris? This must be a joke.

  But nothing could be as Shawn wished, Duke Chris looked at the grown "daughter".

  "Liliana, it's been two years since we last met, you've really grown up!"

  Duke Chris saw Seron next to Liriana and bowed respectfully in front of everyone.

  "Chris, see Lord Celon!"

  The second wave of murmurs rose again, and that lazy, unassuming Serlon was actually a prince?

  Cersei and Lilliana's revealed identities dealt a heavy blow to Shawn's heart!

  The two of them, who didn't even deign to give each other a glance, actually had positions that left others in the dust!

  Ignored by everyone, Shawn's heart was wounded, his face gloomy.

  But Duke Chris, however, caught this scene with unparalleled clarity, and a cold smile spread from the corner of his mouth like a poisonous snake seeing its prey!

  "Alright, you guys should be ready by now, I'm going to take a rest."

  "Trouble Nasu Earl and Enbas Dean, lead the way!"

  "Come with me, Lilliana. I need to talk to you about something!" Duke Chris said, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

  The Lord of Nars and the Dean of Embas, immediately with great respect, escorting Duke Chris.

  But Lilliana suppressed that instinctual fear and didn't follow Duke Chris, like a rebellious teenager.

  "I know what you want to say, so! I've decided not to go along with your past!"

  Whispers of all kinds erupted around her, and Liriana had actually disobeyed her father's orders.

  Duke Chris felt a hint of surprise in his heart, how dare she defy his orders?

  This was the first time in her life she disobeyed her own orders!

  "Do you want to go against your father who has come all the way from the capital just for you?"

  Liliana looked at him with narrowed eyes, staring at her father with a gaze that seemed to be sizing up prey, wanting to say something but unable to get the words out.

  "Celron knew he had to stand up at this time: 'She didn't want to disobey Chris's order, just that she has something important to do with us!'"

  Even in the face of the prince, Duke Chris did not back down: "So, Your Highness, are you planning to interfere with our Chris family's affairs?"

  Cersei would never back down, she said in a voice that only Kress and her bodyguard could hear.

  "I'm not interested in interfering with your Chris family's affairs, but I am interested in ruining the 'marriage' of your Chris family!"

  Hearing such words with clear hostility, even if it was Prince Chris, Duke of Kristianstad's bodyguard, wanted to take action.

  This full-body black armor, expressionless bodyguard, didn't have a chance to make a move.

  Because Sei Yū and Rui took a step forward, they stood in front of Seron.

  Duke Chris gazed at several children with obvious hostility, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

  "Shuguang's Seron, Liriana of the reverse scales, Ziyue of the abyss, Sotenashi of the whispering breath. The most terrifying is, Hoshiyuu of the variable star!"

  "Do you know who said these words and who commented on you?"

  "Celton, this is your second brother's evaluation of you guys. This time behind Chris' back is the royal family!"

  "What can you do about it? I'm eagerly waiting!"

  Duke Chris ignored them and left with the four people who were deeply shocked, following behind Dean Embas.

  Xing You, Lei Zi, and Liliana seemed to think that they had already been targeted by a ruthless poisonous snake!

  Cailon felt more than that, not just his father, but also his second brother wanted to intervene in this matter.

  Saron of Dawn thinks he is the one who can bring a brighter future for Liliana.

  Liliana of the Veil, indicating Liliana is the target "Shadow Specified" of the Veil.

  Abyssal Vermilion Moon, represents Vermilion Moon as an abyss that can engulf their existence at any time.

  Soten no Koizumi has blown his cover, proving that Niisan and the others already know about Koizumi's true strength. Koizumi can't be used as a trump card anymore!

  The variable star Yu, like Second Brother, Duke Chris and Father King's general idea.

  Cailon knew that Xingyou was a variable, looking harmless but capable of changing everything!
