Chapter 230 (1): All Magic Leads to a Role in the Establishment
Ottilia is Flora’s student... x4
Wayne, Veronica, Silvia, and Leno all gaped in disbelief. Wayne, especially, was beyond shocked. He had thought that he had a good grasp of Ottilia.
The bookish young woman appeared quiet and docile, submissive without an opinion of her own, but in reality, she was ninety percent rebellious bone. As a follower of the Goddess of Nature, she had the blood of a free mage flowing in her body. She wasn’t particularly reverent to the goddess.
Flora was clearly planning to disqualify him so that she could recommend Ottilia as one of Windsor’s Holy Maiden candidates. Was Ottilia really qualified? Did Flora really know her student? Or perhaps the former Holy Maiden had seen faith as what it was—All magic led to a role in the establishment. Whether one was devout didn’t matter.

Silvia and Veronica glared at Wayne. The mother and daughter put two and two together and came to the same conclusion: it would be unexpected but understandable if he had been caught with Veronica/Vera, but Ottilia? He'd better not try to fool them with the excuse of a honeytrap. Flora wasn’t that stupid.
Did you kiss Ottilia when she seduced you? x2
Wayne shuddered, his scalp tingling as he frantically looked for a response. It wasn’t too late to make things up.
“Lady Flora, I didn’t know that she was...”
