Chapter 95: They Want to Know
"Yes, that"s me, but who are you? I"m sure this is the first time we"ve met, right?" Elysia tilted her head slightly, guessing this tall male student"s ident.i.ty who seemed to know her.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Raylee Marsh, the Crown Prince of the Nachezan Kingdom in the east. Has Princess Evelyn forgotten me? Even though I visited the Ariatha Kingdom quite often with my royal father when you were a child?" Raylee put one arm on his chest and gave an introductory gesture.
Evelyn was a bit confused initially, but she immediately remembered her childhood about a teenager who visited the Ariatha Kingdom with the Emperor quite often due to business and cooperation.
"Ah! Are you Brother Ray? Is that possibly true!? Wha... It"s been a long time since we met, yes..." Evelyn was a little excited at the start, but she quickly lost her enthusiasm for some reason.
"Yes, that"s me. It"s been about nine years since I visited your kingdom, if I"m not mistaken. By now, you have grown into a beautiful and elegant girl, no longer a whiny and spoiled girl."
Raylee didn"t know why Evelyn suddenly changed her enthusiastic tone. He just continued his words in a friendly manner.
"Yes, I"ve learned a lot and got here." Evelyn smiled, already back to her cheerful self.
"Mhm! Oh, so you are Senior Raylee. I was planning to greet you after hearing about you from Teacher Ruth. Even so, before and after, I would like to thank you for no apparent reason."
Elysia smiled so gracefully and beautifully. Some men and women were fascinated for a moment, but no one cared about them.
Elysia really wanted to meet the senior who indirectly helped her a lot from the problems. Who would have thought the person in question would come to her soon? Unfortunately, since Rosie was there, things might not be that simple.
"Haha, it"s nothing. I heard you came from the south? Are you okay on your way here? About a week ago, some shocking events happened there." Raylee got into the small talk, not a direct question but a delivery of concern.
"Unfortunately, I didn"t come here from the south, Senior Raylee. But from the northwest, to be honest." Elysia glanced slightly at the smiling Rosie. She could smell a hint of conspiracy from this coincidence meeting.
"Is that so? Then, thank goodness. Northwest from here, right... It"s still within the territory of the Ariatha Kingdom. I have an acquaintance in the Lilozi City area. His name is Christopher Mills, a student who just graduated and became Viscount. Do you know him?"
"That"s a pity. I am nothing but the girl from the common house. Please forgive me because I don"t know the person you mentioned, Senior." Elysia shook her head slowly.
"Hm... Then, where is your city of origin?" Raylee had prepared a lot of word traps for Elysia to answer. But, he just wanted to confirm something, not actually inquired because of Rosie.
"Hmm... I"m afraid I"m going to have to leave you in suspense on that one." Elysia smiled mischievously. It was a bit risky for her to answer the question by twisting the facts because Rosie"s help was quite astute.
"No, you can"t answer like that! I"m not strong enough to suffer the suspense! The name of the city, only the name of the city you come from." Rosie immediately sulked. How could it not? Even with Raylee"s smooth help, Elysia was still very sneaky at dodging questions.
Raylee smiled wryly. It seemed like his guess was correct, but it was still not enough to draw a conclusion based on people he knew.
"I was taught not to answer questions like that. Maybe you are a suspicious and dangerous person. Only you and the G.o.ds know. This little girl can only pray for her well being."
"I am not suspicious and dangerous. I am an enforcer of justice and a protector of peace. Am I? Raylee, Bianca, Fran!" Rosie asked for immediate help.
"Huff... Please don"t treat me like that. You seem very curious about trivial things that are a little too personal. I am nothing but an ordinary little girl. You have asked many times. If you stay that way, then forgive me for not talking to you again."
Elysia was a little tired, and she tried something more straightforward with Elena"s suggestion. Otherwise, she didn"t know what President Rosie would do to her just to find out an answer on this topic.
David was just quietly watching this conversation, but Brian looked at Raylee with a rather hostile gaze. Brian thought Raylee was after his idol girl.
Bianca just followed the flow, and Fran didn"t know what to help. Besides that, Evelyn and Ella also had no role in the conversation because it seemed like President Rosie had come for Elysia.
Rosie was shocked beyond belief. Not because of Elysia"s subtle threatening words, but because Elysia"s last sentence was similar to the one her little sister said when she was sulking.
Elysia felt a little guilty seeing Rosie, who was silent with a shocked expression. Could it be, Rosie was surprised beyond what she could accommodate?
"Do you really want to know, President Rosie?"
"Yes!!!"
Rosie immediately returned from the thoughts of her memories. That response was spoken in unison by the students gathered around Elysia with enthusiasm, including Evelyn, who just joined in the fun.
"But I don"t hehe... See you later, everyone. It"s already dusk, and the sun has started to set. It"s time for us to go home." Elysia smiled when she saw Rosie cheer up again.
Unfortunately, the answer she gave really made Rosie down again. Still, the latter seemed to have confirmed something on her mind.
After that, Elysia gave a polite farewell then walked away with the cat in her arms. Ella and Evelyn immediately followed her after giving their goodbyes to Rosie"s group.
Raylee looked at Elysia"s back with some thoughts, then smiled and went in the same direction, as they were still on the bridge.
Brian, who thought Raylee was a great senior, now had another opinion. He also went with David on his side.
Rosie clenched her fist with a new conclusion and determination. She also walked away, and she was followed by Fran and Bianca. She would try a new method tomorrow, right after the first year magic cla.s.s.
Just now, Elysia was already having a hard time with Raylee"s implied question. Maybe she should do something similar or with one that only had one answer, but she shouldn"t corner Elysia either.
The student council president did not know that Elysia was just feeling tired. Elysia was not cornered or found it difficult to answer.
Their brief conversation did not become the center of many people"s attention because it took place near the Holy Cathedral. After they all crossed the bridge, which was getting deserted from the people, the nine students immediately scattered in four different directions and with different goals.
