The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Given Helena's intelligent and cautious nature,

It's impossible to overlook the detail of locking the door!

That explains why the door wasn't locked.

Is that the only reason?

That is--

That's Helena!

As he analyzed this, Leon swallowed hard, his hand holding the teacup stiffening slightly. His gaze unconsciously drifted to the only two two-meter-tall bookshelves in the study.

The bookshelf is horizontally aligned with the sofa, and the other side of the bookshelf is directly attached to the wall. Leon's study is not large, and both sides of the bookshelf can be clearly seen, so it is impossible for anyone to hide in the bookshelf.

Then there were the curtains. The windows were tightly closed, and there was no wind in the room. The curtains were neatly pasted against the French windows, so it was obvious that no one was hiding there.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and Leon's gaze finally settled on the only remaining desk.

The only place I could hide was behind the desk.

hiss,

Could it be such a coincidence? Is she really behind there?

Leon was on edge, his legs braced, his sights set on the doorway, ready to yell and run at any moment.

He didn't know when Helena entered the room.

Therefore, it cannot be determined whether Helena read the diary.

Even if Helena read the diary,

Leon was also unsure about her current state.

Do you still have the idea of ​​killing yourself?

So for safety's sake, and to prevent Helena from catching him and killing him, Leon had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Leon wasn't the only one who was nervous at this moment.

Helena was also very nervous.

Ahhhhhh,

Is Leon out of his mind? Why is he coming into the study in the middle of the night?

I……

Judging from the diary, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me, so should I just walk out?

But if that's the case, then I'm sneaking into his study in the middle of the night...

This is so embarrassing!

(x_x;)

No, no, that's too scary.

But how much longer will he have to stay here?

Will he come over to the desk?

May the goddess of justice bless you.

Don't find me, don't find me, don't find me, don't find me, don't find me...

After much deliberation, Helena decided that she couldn't let Leon find her, so she could only pray to the goddess in her heart, hoping that Leon wouldn't come to the desk.

Helena wasn't actually a devout follower of the goddess of justice; it was just that, as a Festerite, she had the most contact with the goddess of justice, so when she prayed to the gods, the first thing that came to her mind was justice.

Furthermore, Helena was well aware that such prayers were unlikely to be answered, and it was merely a way to comfort herself.

However, sometimes people are just unlucky; the more they fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

A large black rat, seemingly possessed by some kind of rat-like madness, suddenly darted under the desk where Helena was hiding. It seemed not to have expected that someone would be hiding under the desk, and with an unstoppable leap of faith, it landed right in front of Helena.

"Well?!"

Startled by the sudden appearance of this pitch-black thing, Helena couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

Ah, this, this, this...

Waaah! We're doomed! That stinky rat!

Helena's beautiful face turned deathly pale instantly.

Such a faint sound might not matter during the day, but in the stillness of the night, every subtle sound is amplified, and Helena's soft hum is crystal clear.

Wow!

Wow, I'm really impressed by you, you old sixth brother!

Seeing the large black rat flee in a sorry state, Leon, who had already stood up and was preparing to pretend he hadn't noticed anything and quietly leave, suddenly became uneasy.

He heard that alluring, seductive moan from the woman just now clearly.

He is a naturally gifted individual, and his spirituality has reached the mithril level.

The physical functions of extraordinary individuals are several times that of normal people, and their hearing is naturally also very powerful. They can clearly detect sounds that ordinary people cannot hear.

Therefore, if I continue to pretend that I know nothing, then it would be too fake.

However, running away would be even more inappropriate, as it would completely contradict one's current persona.

Oh no, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do!

So, what should we do?

Leon took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

He didn't leave—

It looks like he stood up?

Yes, Leon is an extraordinary being, how could he not hear that voice?

Well, we'll just have to risk moving the plan forward.

No matter how good Leon was to her,

I'm determined to escape this palace, no matter what.

Step forward voluntarily.

Should I be honest with Leon?

If he is truly as gentle as described in his diary...

They shouldn't make things difficult for me, right?

But how should I tell him?

Cough,

At once--

Leon, I'm sorry, I came to peek at the palace defense map, and while I was at it, I also secretly read your diary. Um—thank you for taking care of me…

No, no, no,

It's so embarrassing to say that!

Cough,

Leon, do you have a crush on me? I've read your diary. I misunderstood you, but I have to leave this palace. Forget me. We can't be together.

No no no,

If you say it like this,

That seems a bit too brain-dead.

Well,

How should I say that?!

That's it,

Let's take a look step by step.

At worst, I'll just say nothing.

What can he do to himself?

He can't beat himself!

Just knock him unconscious with one blow, and then use the "Optimize" skill to modify his memory!

With that thought in mind, Helena clenched her teeth and finally made up her mind.

Slowly, Helena stood up.

The first time Helena felt that it was so difficult to go from squatting to standing.

Her gaze landed precisely on Leon, and Helena's face was full of seriousness.

But the next moment, the seriousness on her pretty face was instantly replaced by doubt.

Ok?

Looking at Leon in front of her, Helena raised a slight brow with her beautiful phoenix eyes.

How is this going,

Leon... what is he doing?!

Chapter Sixteen: Wit

Leon's condition was very strange.

His beautiful, sky-blue eyes seemed veiled in mist, not fully open, but rather half-closed and listless, his handsome face filled with a hazy, sleepy look.

He acted as if he hadn't noticed Helena at all, walking straight past the sofa to the bookshelf near the door, where he began systematically searching through the many books.

Helena's existence was completely ignored throughout, as if she were a puppet without any self-awareness, only there to accomplish a certain purpose.

How is this going?

Is Leon just ignoring him like this?

Something's not right with him.

Helena was puzzled.

Her gaze focused on Leon, and her beautiful peach-pink eyes suddenly became incredibly deep, like the boundless night outside the window.

This is a skill called "spiritual vision" that almost all extraordinary beings possess.

Those with innate extraordinary abilities can learn and master them directly, but those with acquired extraordinary abilities can only open their spiritual vision normally when they reach the Gold level.

Once "spiritual vision" is activated, one can see many things that are not normally visible.

For example, the spiritual aura and elemental attributes emitted by living beings or objects, as well as unknown entities lurking in the darkness, such as mysterious creatures like ghosts.

In Helena's eyes, Leon's body had long lost its three-dimensional outline and become like a "thermal image," composed of many planar light spots of different sizes, only different parts were represented by different colors.

For example, the heart belongs to fire, so Leon's heart is fiery red; the kidneys belong to water, so Leon's kidneys are watery white.

These are all normal colors.

After shutting down her psychic vision, the only result Helena could obtain was that Leon's body was still quite healthy.

This is quite rare in the corrupt political arena of the capital.

Helena also used her clairvoyance to see other people in the palace, and then she discovered a problem.

That is, these guys generally have cloudy and blackish kidneys, even some girls will have this, which is obviously a sign of poor kidney function.

So why does kidney function fail?

Helena wasn't interested in this; it had nothing to do with her anyway. She was just a pure, lovely, and vulnerable woman. What did she know? What bad thoughts could she possibly have?

In any case, Leon's purity and integrity, even amidst filth, is a big plus.

Now,
