361  It's Suspicious

Seraphina after finishing her work was now heading towards her office.

Following her were three beautiful ladies whose beauty can even stand out in the crowd but still, their beautiful looks were overshadowed by Seraphina beauty.

The three girls were in the same year as Julian.

Though one may think of them as Seraphina's friends but in truth, they were her future maids or servants who will become her private maids in future and will even accompany her throughout thier life. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The real truth is Seraphina is daughter of the one three head of the world government, She is daughter of Julian Everglow.

The queen of Elf continent and one of three head of World Government.

From the young age the existence of Seraphina as daughter of the queen of Elf continent has been secret.

For obvious reasons...

Many assassination Attempt has been made on Seraphina when she was just kid.

So the queen of Elves, Julian hides her existence from the rest of world.

No one else that she is daughter of Julian, Aside from few top figure of Nova Academy.

For example, Headmaster Hera, Lillian and few other instructors.

After the graduation, Seraphina would reveal her existence to world then would began her duties as princess offically.

As for those three girls...

For becoming princess maids, they were trained from an early age like the heir of the nobles and they even have to qualify in having good fighting skills and talents to accompany them.

And for a Princess with a frightening ability like her, they have to try their best not to lag so much.

As they reached near Seraphina private office where only Student Council President is allowed to stay along with those who have her permission, Seraphina found Lillian who was standing on side of the wall.

"Seraphina, I want to ask why are you asking me to hand over his personal information to you."

As Seraphina neard Lillian, she heards her words.

Three girl besides her silently girl at Lillian but one look from Lillian was enough for them to look away from her.

And Seraphina didn't care the way Lillian was speaking to her. In fact she wants her to speak like that.

After all Seraphina hates those royal customs.

"You know why, Miss Lillian."

Aft the moment of silence, Seraphina opened her mouth and said, Her voice of pleasent as before but there was dengerous edge in her tone that Lillian instantaneously noticed.

Lillian glaired intensity increase but she was still keeping her cool.

"He's not hiding something, Seraphina."

But Seraphina just shook her head in Lillian's response.

At that moment, she flashed back thinking about the time when she looked around a certain individual who was immersed in his thoughts while everyone eyes on her.

But when he looked at her amidst the crowd, it can be said to be her first time, seeing someone looking at her with such an indifferent gaze.

As soon Seraphina looked at his face she remembered seeing him once before.

It was around time when Class [1-Hero-1] went to Silva City.

She was incharge for that class besides Lillian.

Doungen outbreak happened in Silva City and he was fighting against monster and keeping away from them to Silva City.

Of course, she is the one who saved him and she also invited him to join student council at that time after they returned to Nova Academy.

But he didn't come to visit single time...

That was for the first time that Seraphina was angey at someone.

Then after that she started surveillance him and started to watch most of his actions.

Of course, she wouldn't ordered her three maid to watch him whenever he wasnear Yato, his master.

Seraphina find ever action of him suspicious.

From the point of fighting against hoards of monster till now.

It's very suspicious.

Her face flushed in the coldness as she said to Lillian

"Give me every single detail about him. His background, his position, his everyday activities his strength. Don't miss a single detail."

" I don't want to ignore the possibility of having a mole under our noise of high calibre who can bite us. We have to take precautions from now. If I find him suspicious, it's better to eliminate him before he can grow."

Lillian's eyes narrowed, but she remained calm and composed, hiding her inner turmoil. She knew Seraphina's instincts were sharp, and while she didn't fully agree with her approach, she couldn't ignore the potential threat Seraphina perceived.

"I understand your concerns, Seraphina," Lillian replied, her tone measured. "But we must tread carefully. Acting on suspicion alone can lead to unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings."

Seraphina's expression didn't soften. "I appreciate your caution, Miss Lillian, but I've seen enough to warrant this investigation. We can't afford to be complacent."

Lillian sighed inwardly, knowing that arguing further would be futile. Seraphina was determined, and her authority as the daughter of Julian Everglow added weight to her demands.

"Very well," Lillian said, conceding. "I'll gather the information you requested. But remember, Seraphina, we must act with prudence. Any misstep could have serious repercussions."

Seraphina nodded, her gaze unwavering. "I understand, but we can't ignore the potential danger. I trust you, Miss Lillian, to handle this discreetly and efficiently."

With that, Lillian turned and left, her mind already racing with plans on how to discreetly gather the necessary information without raising suspicion.

She knew this task wouldn't be easy, but she also knew the importance of maintaining a balance between vigilance and caution.

Seraphina watched Lillian leave, her mind still focused on Lucas. There was something about him that unsettled her, and she couldn't shake the feeling that he was hiding something significant. Her instincts rarely led her astray, and she was determined to uncover the truth.

As she entered her private office, her three maids followed silently, their presence a constant reminder of her royal duties and the expectations placed upon her. Seraphina sat at her desk, her mind racing with thoughts of Lucas and the potential threat he posed.

"Prepare the surveillance reports," Seraphina instructed one of her maids. "I want to review everything we have on him so far."

The maid nodded and quickly set to work, retrieving the reports and handing them to Seraphina. As Seraphina began to read through the documents, she couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. The future of the academy, and possibly much more, could depend on uncovering Lucas's true intentions.

Meanwhile, back in the cafeteria, Lucas and Sunny finished their meal, unaware of the scrutiny they were under. Lucas felt a strange sensation, as if someone was watching him, but he brushed it off, attributing it to the stress and excitement of the day's events.

As they left the cafeteria and headed back to their dorms, Lucas couldn't shake the feeling that something significant was about to happen. He glanced at Sunny, who was chattering about their upcoming classes, and wondered what the future held for them in the academy.

Unbeknownst to him, Seraphina's investigation was about to set in motion a series of events that would change everything, revealing secrets and testing loyalties in ways no one could have anticipated.
