Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 642: Aurelia and Eleanor

Just imagining that possibility nearly caused her vision to darken.

She almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Aurelia slowly turned back toward Lina before gently shaking her head.

"No."

Her voice remained soft and polite.

"Thank you for the invitation, Lina."

A faint apologetic smile appeared on her lips.

"But I will be fine on my own."

She paused briefly before continuing.

"Also, I already have someone I intend to accompany during this expedition."

The timid girl’s heart immediately leaped with joy.

Before Lina could lazily argue any further, she hurriedly forced a stiff smile onto her trembling face.

"A-As you wish, Miss Aurelia."

"Sorry for bothering you."

Without giving Lina any opportunity to speak again, she immediately grabbed her friend’s wrist and practically dragged the confused black-haired girl into the sea of students before Sharon or her followers decided to approach them.

Watching the two disappear into the bustling crowd, Aurelia simply smiled faintly before slowly turning her attention back toward Sharon’s group.

Her forest green eyes calmly swept across the gathered young nobles one after another.

However, midway through, her gaze suddenly stopped.

Among Sharon’s followers stood a familiar blond-haired young man.

A smug, malicious smile rested upon his handsome face, while his wandering eyes were filled with the same disgusting, lecherous greed that Aurelia remembered all too well.

The moment she saw him, the pleasant mood she had been in moments earlier disappeared almost instantly.

Draven belonged to one of the collateral branches of the mighty Lucerra Family that had established itself within Dark North City generations ago.

Although that branch possessed considerable influence in the city, it was ultimately insignificant compared to the main bloodline that ruled the Marquis Household.

Even so, relying upon his family background and his own decent talent, Draven had always behaved arrogantly throughout Dark North City.
