The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"Mr. Daniel, when you were brought back, you were wearing Guberlan's prison uniform. Were you a criminal?"

Philippa hit Leon right where it hurt.

Yes!

I'm a serial killer, I rob and rape. A young girl like you, once she falls into my hands, I'll...

Leon thought angrily, but he knew he couldn't confront Philippa. If he had already lost hope in life, then he could give it a try.

"Yes, the family went bankrupt, the assets were auctioned off, and then I was exiled."

Leon replied very casually.

He remembered that the butler Dieter had guessed the same way, and it was obvious that Philippa also thought that was most likely the case, so Leon might as well just make up this reason.

Since you're deceiving the other person anyway, it doesn't matter how you deceive them. They've already come up with a reason for you, so why don't you just use it yourself?

Furthermore, those with some knowledge of psychological theory might understand that people are more willing to believe what they believe, that is, the answer they think they have.

"..."

Leon's composure once again left Philippa speechless.

She just wanted to see Leon break down.

Why is it so difficult!

害，

Actually, it's not Philippa's fault.

After all, compared to Leon, she was nothing.

In terms of worldly experience, Leon possesses the mindset and perspective of two different worlds. Although he only received basic education on Earth, in this world, Leon was born into royalty and attended various parties and salons from a young age. What kind of world hasn't he seen?

On the other hand, Philippa has not left the Thorn Forest so far.

Furthermore, Leon lived for twenty years on Earth and has twenty years of experience, and he is also twenty years old and has twenty years of experience in this world, so it is not unreasonable to say that Leon is a forty-year-old man.

If we really calculate it that way, Leon would probably be even more powerful than the Regent.

My royal uncle has to call me brother!

Leon can even call me dad now!

Leon felt something.

"So, teacher, you didn't commit a crime?"

After a moment of silence, Philippa asked.

If he was only implicated because of his family's decline, then it shows that Leon is not a despicable person burdened with sin.

Indeed.

He plays the piano so well and writes such wonderful poetry, how could he possibly be a big bad guy!

Anyway, Philippa didn't really believe it.

"Yes, no."

No no no,

I am guilty.

I've been scamming people for almost two months now, and no one has seen through it yet.

Helena must have been the one who got scammed the most.

Leon wore a smile, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

There's no denying that he is indeed a fraud.

Look, they're still deceiving underage girls.

"Teacher...do you have anything to say?"

After hesitating for a moment, Philippa slowly began to speak, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Dieter, the butler who had suddenly arrived.

"Miss Philippa."

Dieter said hastily.

Seeing him like this, Leon suddenly felt uneasy.

Something's probably about to happen!

"Hiss, what's wrong, Dieter?"

Philippa gritted her teeth somewhat unhappily.

"Miss, the Marquis has returned from Mu City."

"That's what the butler Dieter answered quickly."

As a graduate of the University of Guberland, Leon did attend geography classes properly.

The Twilight City that Dieter mentioned, also known as the City of Moonlight, is the capital of the vampires. It is located in the upper reaches of the "Tabulang River" in the Thorn Forest. The "Tabulang River" is the only river in the Thorn Forest, with tributaries all over the forest. The river water is clear and has a huge flow.

"Mother!"

After hearing Dieter's words, Philippa's face showed a hint of panic.

"Yes."

Dieter replied.

"Dieter, go and calm my mother down first."

Philippa quickly stood up, gave an instruction to Dieter, and then looked at Leon, "Teacher, come with me."

???

The beauty is hidden in the golden house!

This is so insane!

Why are you hiding me? Am I some kind of thing that can't be seen by people... no! It's something that can't be seen by vampires!

Is Philippa's mother really that scary?

In the original anime, there are a few scenes featuring Philippa's mother, which Leon didn't find particularly scary.

"Miss...it seems it's too late."

Dieter looked towards the restaurant entrance and said awkwardly.

Following his gaze, Leon saw a beautiful vampire woman as he had hoped.

Just like in the original anime, this is an extremely beautiful white-haired housewife.

No, vampires live in a matriarchal society where wives have a higher status than husbands and are the heads of the household. However, describing them as wives doesn't seem too wrong.

Chapter Fourteen: The Bread Squad

Walking on the streets of the free city.

The biting cold wind was like a sharp blade.

Even though I was wearing a thick coat, the slaps still stung my face.

Helena watched the snowflakes falling sparsely from the sky, gently blew a breath, and a small cloud of white mist immediately filled her vision.

When she was little, she thought it was fun, and she still does now. She just smokes like that, and she can only do it on really cold days.

Of course, smokers can do it anytime, but Helena hates the smell of smoke, so naturally she also dislikes smokers.

Beside Helena were Hazel, Ella, and Maisie.

Maisie led the way, while Hazel and Ella walked side by side, chatting about what they should buy later. Only Helena walked in the middle, lost in thought.

The Snow City is also a metropolis, but it is resource-poor and cannot carry out large-scale industrial development. In addition, the freezing weather makes it difficult to cultivate crops on a large scale. The main industries developed here are service industries and tourism.

After all, the snow capital is very famous in the world and has unique snow scenery, attracting tourists from all over the world.

Although it was freezing cold, there were still many people on the streets, but it wasn't too crowded. The crowded areas were all in the main scenic spots.

Helena and her companions arrived at their destination not long after they had walked.

This is the unique Adventurers' Guild headquarters building in the Snow City.

Soldiers wearing silver steel helmets and carrying long guns guarded the entrance.

However, they were only maintaining order. The Adventurer's Guild Hall was also part of the Snow City tourist area, and many people came to visit it.

So much so that there was a long queue to enter the guild hall, but Helena and the others had already made an appointment in advance, so they didn't have to squeeze with the tourists. As soon as they walked to the large square in front of the guild, a man in a gray uniform who looked refined greeted them.

"You are... the eldest daughter of the Hayden family?"

The man looked at Hazel and asked in confusion.

"Ah."

Hazel nodded slightly, her expression calm.

"I am Thomson, the general manager of Warm Home Coal Company. It is an honor to serve Miss Hayden."

Thomson gave a polite bow.

Snow City was originally part of the Fchester Empire, but it was separated from the Empire after being defeated in the war against the Dragon Clan. Therefore, the mainstream culture is still Fchester culture, and the etiquette he follows is the Fchester men's etiquette.

With the accumulation of capital, companies have long existed in this world, and the relevant laws and regulations are basically complete.

This is not surprising at all. Just like on Earth, a hundred years ago, most Western countries had entered the modern era, while only the Great Foodie Country was still asleep, living an ancient life.

"Okay, lead the way."

Hazel nodded slightly, showing no intention of arguing further.

Therefore, Thomson stopped talking and immediately got down to business.

Warm Home Coal Co., Ltd. is one of the largest heating companies in Snow City. The main investor is Haiden Mansion in Guberland, and Haiden Mansion holds a significant stake.

Therefore, as the daughter of the Marquis of Hayden, who was their patron, Hazel naturally had to be treated well.

It feels so good to have a father.

Helena followed behind Hazel, feeling a little envious.

However, Hazel is actually a pitiful person, after all, she doesn't even know who her biological parents are, and at least she has some good memories of being with her parents during her childhood.

If it weren't for that war between humans and dragons...

I don't understand. The Fchester Empire already has the world's number one economic strength. Such a huge industrial empire should be able to improve the lives of its citizens if it focuses on internal development, right?

Why……

Why keep starting wars?

Helena simply couldn't understand the leaders of the empire, let alone why the general public still regarded Caesar as a hero and the most ruthless emperor in history.

If Leon is the next leader of the empire, then perhaps the entire empire will show a new look.

After all, Caesar, the Regent, and the Second Prince didn't seem like good people to Helena. Only Leon remained untainted by the mud, pure and innocent.

Unfortunately, it seems highly unlikely that Leon will become the next leader of the empire.

The victor will most likely be either the Regent or the Second Prince, with the Second Prince having a higher chance of winning, since Caesar is still alive and will certainly take good care of Leon.

Just as Helena was lost in thought, Hazel, who was in front of her, stopped in her tracks.

"Mr. Thomson, is there anything I can help you with?"

At this moment, Helena and the others had already entered the Adventurers' Guild building and went directly to the person in charge's office.

Sitting at the desk was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses. She had an average appearance, tanned skin, but a very hot figure.

"Lisa, this is the eldest daughter of Hayden House."

Thomson explained.

"Oh, what a beautiful and lovely little angel. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Hayden."

Lisa's previously casual face instantly transformed into a fawning smile the moment she saw Hazel.
