Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 644: World Froze Around Them

Meanwhile, Aurelia had absolutely no interest in carefully observing the impressive group that had just arrived.

Her thoughts remained occupied by only one thing: the mysterious violet-haired senior was nowhere to be seen.

And that realization left behind a quiet sense of disappointment that lingered deep within her heart despite everything happening around her.

As the old saying went, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Seeing the dejected expression gradually settle upon Aurelia’s beautiful face, Eleanor quietly observed her for several moments before finally asking in a gentle voice,

"Who are you looking for, little Aurelia?"

Her question caused Aurelia to stiffen slightly.

For a brief moment, she didn’t know how to answer.

Could she really tell Eleanor that she had been searching for a mysterious violet-haired senior whom she believed might actually be her long-lost son?

Even Aurelia herself knew how absurd that sounded.

Just as she was struggling to find an appropriate reply, another loud commotion suddenly erupted near the academy gates.

The previously settling crowd became lively once more.

"Look!"

"Prince Erius is here!"

"And Aria Froststar is with him too!"

"The twenty-fifth-ranked member of the elite forty!"

A young man excitedly shouted before placing both hands over his chest dramatically.

"Senior Aria is my favorite!"

His declaration immediately earned several strange looks from the surrounding students.

A moment later, laughter broke out among them.

"Look at this idiot."

"Even a toad dreams of courting a swan."

"Hahaha..."

The poor youth could only scratch the back of his head awkwardly while everyone continued teasing him.

Neither Aurelia nor Eleanor paid the slightest attention to their playful banter.

They remained immersed in their own thoughts.

However, just a few heartbeats later, several excited voices from a nearby group of girls suddenly reached Aurelia’s ears.

"Hey!"

"Look behind Prince Erius!"

"Isn’t that the mysterious new Violet Batch senior?"

"The violet-haired one!"

Another girl widened her eyes in surprise.

"But..."

"Wasn’t he walking around the academy with Princess Arlene yesterday?"

"Why is he accompanying Prince Erius today?"
