The moment Paul voiced his decision, he clearly felt Lilian's gaze tighten. The sudden sense of oppression made him straighten his back and wait to be reprimanded by his royal sister. However, to his surprise, after a long silence, Lilian did not say anything.
The black-haired girl stared at the young man opposite her at this time. In fact, her heart was far from being as calm as she appeared on the surface.
As a royal princess, Lilian, who was born in the palace, had never experienced much familial affection since she was a child, and she had never had the experience of getting along with relatives younger than her. In her impression, this was the first time a creature like her younger brother had appeared. She should have taken care of him as an elder, but she did not expect Paul to block this path from the very first step.
It was fine not to join the Purple Rose's faction. It was a wise choice to do so. Although Lilian could not shelter Paul in the name of the organization, it was not a big deal to occasionally help her younger brother who had no affiliation. With her ability, she could do it.
But once Paul joined another faction, the nature of this matter would be different. It was equivalent to Paul taking the initiative to give up Lilian's care and follow an outsider. This matter could cause serious consequences.
No matter what, Paul's surname was Achman. As a member of the royal family, even if he did not have the right to inherit, it was unacceptable for many people in the Austin Empire to submit to an outsider. Not to mention, Luo Ya was a noble of the Theocracy.
That person should have considered this matter. Even so, why did he still take Paul in?
"Is this your choice?"
"Eh? Royal Sister? "
"I mean, did you take the initiative to ask for this?"
"Ah, yes. I took the initiative to look for Big Brother Luo Ya yesterday. We haven't seen each other since that incident at the beginning of the semester. I didn't expect him to really agree to take me in."
“.....”
Looking at the touched smile on Paul's face, Lilian frowned slightly. She could not understand Luo Ya's behavior more and more. But the girl hesitated for a moment and did not say anything because she knew that she could not change Paul's decision now.
"If you've really decided to do this, it means that you're ready. Let's not talk about unaffiliated free people for the time being. Among other people's factions, even my security department can't provide you with any help."
"If this is a trap, you'll have to fight alone, and you'll definitely arouse the strong disgust of some of the nobles in the country. Father might have some ideas, and your environment might be even worse."
The black-haired girl calmly talked about the difficulties that Paul might encounter in the future. Hearing this, Paul's face stiffened for a moment. He recalled what Luo Ya said when she showed him the cyan ring last night. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"I believe in Big Brother Luo Ya. Compared to the goodwill of those fake nobles, I want friends who treat me with sincerity!"
"His Majesty may hate me because of this, but I'm just an illegitimate child who doesn't have the right to inherit. I'm not interested in the throne either. Compared to that, I want a beautiful school life and work hard to become stronger to get closer to the goal in my heart."
Paul clenched his fists as the image of the black-haired, golden-eyed young man emerged in his mind. Looking at him, Lilian couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
"… Is that so."
Lilian let out an undetectable sigh. She gazed at the young man and was filled with emotions. She also confirmed the fact that Paul was an anomaly in the cold-blooded Achman family.
Unlike his elder brothers who were passionate about pursuing power and status, even though Paul came from a humble background, he gave Lilian the feeling that he was living seriously. That was a more positive, free-flowing youth, and the pursuit of truth. It was a pure feeling without the smoke of conspiracy and the stench of rotten interests. It was also a way of life that Lilian envied.
But it was a pity that Paul didn't choose to get close to Lilian. Otherwise, the girl felt that they might have been able to maintain a good relationship.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't keep you any longer. But after all, we're relatives who have Origin Substance Resonance. If there's any critical situation, as a last resort, you can still look for me."
"Eh? Origin Substance Resonance? Uh … I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Royal Sister. "
Although Paul was puzzled by the so-called Origin Substance Resonance, he still understood what Lilian was trying to say. The young man who received the promise hurriedly thanked her. The black-haired girl glanced at Paul and didn't find it strange. After all, Paul had just reached Source-Rank Level 5 not long ago. It hadn't been long since he obtained the Origin Substance, so it was normal that he didn't understand Origin Substance Resonance.
After thanking her, Paul, who had finished explaining everything, felt much more relaxed. After finishing his dessert, he bid farewell and left. Walking out of the exquisite and elegant Linglong Pavilion, the young man was filled with emotions.
Although Royal Sister Lilian doesn't like to talk and doesn't have much of an expression, she seems to be a good person. If only she could have a better relationship with Big Brother Luo Ya.
Paul sighed at the huge difference between the two of them. At the same time, a question arose in his mind.
What exactly is Origin Substance Resonance? There should be a feeling of resonance no matter how you think about it. My Origin Substance is fine every day. When did it ever resonate?
Paul frowned in confusion. After thinking for a while, he realized that he had touched on a blind spot in his knowledge. He could only shake his head helplessly and throw this matter to the back of his mind.
"Forget it. When I have time, I'll ask Big Brother Luo Ya."
The young man thought so and left the Black Rose faction's encampment.
Luo Ya had many purposes for entering St. Freya Academy. Learning knowledge, improving himself, making friends, and obtaining academic qualifications. On the surface, he was working hard in every aspect. As for the secret goals, there were even more, such as finding clues about [Scholar], the series of events that Paul had caused, and Roy's mission that was basically impossible to complete.
