Apart from buying a few bone fans and several small hats, she also bought two glass bottles of rose perfume when passing by the perfume shop on the street.

  Sprayed on the wrist, the top note is a spicy and rusty rose flavor, the back note has a bit of honey sweetness, rarely smells good.

  At this time, buying perfume was beyond her expectation and she felt extremely delighted.

  Qiao helped Cynthia carry back big bags and small bags to the castle, and inexplicably felt that she seemed to be getting more and more into buying things.

  "Joe, try this waffle, it has butter in it, it's delicious!" Cynthia handed the waffle she bought halfway back to Joe's mouth.

  She blushed and took another bite.

  "How was it?" Cynthia's bright blue eyes stared at her unwaveringly.

  Under her expectant gaze, Qiao nodded, "If you want to eat it for dinner, just make it once."

  "Great!"

  This clumsy posture is quite cute.

  Qiao watched her bounce into the front hall with several bags in hand, and smiled lightly.

  She piled everything into the bedroom, and Cynthia, carrying a book, asked where Anthony Keats was. After learning that he was in the study, she went to find him with light footsteps.

  Before she even entered the study, her light voice had already carried over, "Kaius!"

  When Cynthia stopped in front of the study door, her raised smile carried a hint of embarrassment and curiosity.

  She didn't expect a stranger to visit today, he wasn't alone in the study room.

  An old man with a white beard, looking somewhat like a good people's teacher, sat on the sofa.

  The other party didn't find it strange at all when they saw her, or rather, she was already well-known as a golden-haired pet from Rydania.

  "Hello, Miss Cynthia." He had a pair of brown eyes and sunken eye sockets with wrinkles, filled with kindness. "I am Principal Norman."

  Sounds like the principal of the God Technique Academy.

  "Hello." Cynthia curtsied slightly towards him before turning to Kayus and whispering, "Will I see you later?"

  "Come over." Kael didn't let her leave, pointing to the small table beside him, his intention clear.

  She hugged the book and smiled at the person on the sofa, walked over and sat down in the chair next to Kael, opened up "Dark Hymn" again, and resumed her progress.

  Caius caught a whiff of the pungent smell on her as she approached and wrinkled his brow.

  The old man spoke to him in a humble tone, "The range of autumn hunting will not be wide, and we will not go deep. It is still near Sintra, the area south of the East City District, that eternal night forest."

  "As usual, only a small part of the forest's periphery is used. You know students always need to go through actual combat experience in order to smoothly obtain their graduation qualifications."

  Kaiyas pursed his lips and coldly refused, "That forest is temporarily out of use."

  Principal Norman was stunned, his hands placed on his knees, rubbing them for a while before hesitantly asking, "Why?"

  Caius didn't give a reason, directly designating a new location, "Near the eastern mountain range, you are allowed to use it."

  It turned out that it was just a new place, Principal Norman let out a sigh of relief, "I understand."

  Cynthia flipped through the book while perking up her ears to listen to their conversation.

  On the other side of Cintra is where the Elves live. Meve said that giants have appeared there, and it was also around that time that Austin went missing.

  Kairos said no opening, probably also for this reason.

  "It was a pleasure, I'll be looking forward to it." Principal Norman stood up, bowed respectfully towards Kayus, and also greeted the distracted Cynthia, intentionally lingering on her face for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.

  It's autumn now, and there are many activities.

  The school is holding a graduation hunting season, sounds quite interesting.

  When Norman left, Cynthia couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, turning her face to the side, "What do they need your permission for in their graduation hunting season?"

  "I'm afraid of death." Kael said in a low voice.

  "Are you going to sit in town?"

  "If you don't go, Anthony will prepare."

  "Then can I go with Anthony?"

  "Not allowed."

  “.”

  Cynthia spread out the book and said in a business-like tone: "I'll finish reading this book as soon as possible, then you can take me out to have some fun?"

  Caius's icy gaze swept over him, "I have already given you permission to attend the Autumn Feast."

  "It's still a long way off!"

  "Are you dictating terms to me?"

  "No." Cynthia shook her head seriously, with a sweet and flattering smile, "I'm asking you."

  Kai'erus pursed his lips and scrunched up his face in confusion, "Do you have any self-respect?"

  "There's nothing in front of you." Cynthia said honestly.

  Caius fell silent again, his tone softened but still firm, "You're not suited for that place."

  Where did he get so many unsuitable ones from?

  Cynthia didn't understand, but she didn't force it either. She just muttered dejectedly, "If you're not going, then don't go."

  She put her eyes back on the book, reading it seriously without going to disturb Kael, but the other party suddenly came up with a sentence, "Don't spray those messy things."

  Cynthia turned her head, took a deep breath, and tried to look calm as she asked, "You don't like the smell of perfume?"

  "It smells."

  "Oh, well, I'll go wash it off then." Cynthia's eyes blazed with anger as she turned back around, her face expressionless. "What a pity, I spent an hour picking it out, thinking you'd like it."

  The person sitting next to her had a dim gaze with a hint of indecision.

  At night when it was time for dinner, Qiao came to the study and called out to her. Xinxia didn't even ask Kaisa if she wanted to eat, but put down her book and gave Qiao a sweet smile, rushing over to hug her arm, "Did you make me waffles this afternoon!"

  "Uh-huh, and I got new flavors and salad too." Joe nodded, standing still at the door, letting Cynthia dig into her like a koala.

  Qiao looked at Kael and respectfully asked if he also needed to eat, but was left somewhat bewildered by his gloomy gaze.

  He pushed his chair back and stood up, staring at Cynthia with a gloomy expression mixed with dissatisfaction.

  She certainly felt this thorn in her back, but she just didn't look back, stroking Qiao Bai's small hand and going downstairs with her.

  Qiao discovered something was off, but since Kaixu was there, she didn't dare ask Xinsiya anything.

  At the dinner table, Cynthia directly took a chair and sat at the far end of the long table, in the seat that Austin had originally occupied.

  "She used to climb onto an adult's lap for every meal, what happened tonight?" Eber stood at the entrance of the dining hall and glanced inside, quietly asking Joe who was carrying food over.

  Qiao shook her head and sighed, "Throwing a tantrum again."

  Able: "She's been spoiled."
