Chapter 257 (1): Teeth Gritted, It’s Not Impossible
The dark domain opened, and Wayne and Senna emerged. Veronica, who had been waiting for some time, hurried up to Wayne, blocking Senna under the pretense of getting closer to him. She also took the chance to sniff him discreetly.
She wondered what conversation could have taken them so long.
Such was the way people acted for their first love. Their emotions fluctuated wildly, and they couldn’t help but imagine all the possible scenarios when the person they loved got close to someone of the opposite sex.
All negative scenarios.
Veronica didn’t bother hiding her hostility. Noticing it, Senna sneered inwardly. What was the point of being wary of her? She should be wary of the Holy Maiden candidates—all fourteen of them. Even if Wayne rotated through them every day, it would take a fortnight for him to go through everyone.
Dragonbloods were getting worse and worse. Senna realized that Veronica was even inferior to Silvia. At least Auston didn’t—oh, right, Auston couldn’t!
“Hmph!” Veronica glanced at Senna from the corner of her eye before taking Wayne’s arm and whispering to him. There was no room for Senna here. The third wheel should take the hint and be gone.
“Veronica, have you finished your assignments?”
“I have.”
“I’ll assign you more.”
“...”
Five minutes later, Veronica went to the study in a huff. When she turned around and saw Wayne and Senna leaving the mansion together, her anxious mind conjured more worrisome images, throwing her emotions into chaos again.
