Second candy

After the banquet, Evelyn and Violet followed the Violet Academy magician team back to the academy.

The shattered glass in some buildings of the college has been repaired, and the cracks in the teaching building have been patched with wall paint, making it look the same as before. The most damaged is the royal accommodation area, especially the one where Evelyn lives. The entire building needs to be rebuilt. Evelyn can't go back to her original dormitory. Fortunately, there are many vacant dormitories in the school, and the royal family can only move to other accommodation buildings.

Compared to repairing and rebuilding buildings, magic circles are relatively easy to repair. However, the sophisticated and complex magic circles in various places in the academy require the dean to use magic to engrave the final secret key. Currently, only the defensive magic at the entrance of the academy has been activated.

Evelyn rode in Violet Academy's special carriage to the dormitory building, just like when she first enrolled. It had only been a month since she first enrolled, but now that she was back at Violet Academy, her mood was completely different. She smiled at Violet, who was sitting next to her, and pushed open the carriage window. "Do you need me to introduce you to the functions of these teaching buildings?"

Evelyn's words were full of sarcasm, and Violet knew why she said that.

In Evelin's opinion, Violet could clearly find her dormitory, and she must have walked all over Violet College - Evelin was not wrong.

A smile appeared on Violet's face. She shook her head and said, "When we get to the dormitory, please show me your room. I didn't have time to look closely before."

"Okay." Evelyn raised her hand to close the carriage window, and the two of them whispered to each other.

Time passed quickly in the intimacy, and it seemed like just a moment. Evelyn felt that she had just taken Violet's hand and intertwined her fingertips when the carriage stopped. The voice of the magician driving the carriage came from outside, "Your Highness Evelyn, we have arrived at the dormitory."

"Thank you." Evelyn came out of the carriage first. She and Vilt were still holding hands. Evelyn carefully pulled Vilt out of the carriage, and the two of them walked into the dormitory.

Evelin caused a sensation in the entire school when she left Violet Academy, but few people knew she was back.

The new accommodation was arranged in a hurry, and there was no time for Evelin to return to its original state.

Evelin didn't care. She glanced at the new dormitory and suddenly smiled at Vilt beside her. "This looks like the hotel we stayed in after leaving the Foto Forest. It even has a double bed."

Evelin pulled Vilt to sit down on the bed by the window. “It’s quite convenient,” she leaned close to Vilt’s ear and said in an ambiguous voice.

During this period, Vilt had heard so many of Evelin's deliberately ambiguous words that her ears no longer turned red easily. However, when she suddenly heard Evelin's words, a strange feeling still spread from Vilt's heart to her limbs. She might never be able to handle this situation in her life.

Violet could only hold Evelyn's fingers around her waist with her backhand.

Evelyn had just returned to the academy and no one came to disturb her, except for someone delivering the clothes that the queen had customized for her and Violet.

Although Violet returned to the place where she had worked for two days, as a handyman, she had little presence on campus. The turnover rate of handymen at Violet College was very high, and her roommates didn't think much of Violet's silent disappearance - they had long been accustomed to it.

Now that Vilt lives with Evelyn, everyone will only think that she is Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal knight, and no other identity label will be attached to her.

However, Evelyn and Violet's peaceful world of two did not last long. Two days later, Sophia came knocking on the door in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Princess Evelyn, Your Highness Princess Evelyn! I'm here to visit you!" There was a silent magic painted on Evelyn's door, but even so, there was no way to completely block out Sophia's voice.

Vilt stood up and prepared to open the door for Sophia, but her movements were stopped by Evelin, who had not forgotten Sophia's ambiguous attitude towards Vilt. "I'll go open the door."

After hearing the news that Evelyn had returned to school, Sophia immediately sent someone to inquire about her residence. After confirming that Evelyn and she still lived in the same building, Sophia quickly came to the door of Evelyn's dormitory without delay.

She claimed she was visiting Evelyn, but she didn't even bring a gift. Sophia wasn't particularly concerned about Evelyn being captured by the dragon. Her anxiety was fueled by the news that Evelyn had been captured by the dragon, and she'd wanted to tell Violet about it, comforting her and taking advantage of the situation. However, when Sophia tried to find Violet, she discovered she had also disappeared from Violet Academy. Sophia dug up every inch of the Violet Academy, but couldn't find any trace of Violet.

Could it be that Violet was also captured by the dragon? Sophia's mind was full of wild thoughts.

This wasn't Sophia's country, after all. Even a noblewoman wouldn't be able to find someone in a foreign land. Her status as a noble actually limited her. Fortunately, Evelyn had returned. Hopefully, she still remembered the wandering magician and was willing to help find her.

So when Evelin opened the door, she heard Sophia's voice anxiously asking, "Do you know where Violet is? I want to find her but I can't find her. You..."

Sophia walked into Evelin's room while talking. Before she could finish her words, she looked up and saw Violet sitting at the table behind Evelin. Her unfinished words suddenly stopped in her throat.

“What do you want to see her for?” Evelin asked with some dissatisfaction as she saw Sophia’s eyes resting on Violet.

Sophia was still shocked that Violet suddenly appeared in front of her and was not aware of Evelyn's tone at all. "Where have you been all this time? Why didn't you show up when I looked for you, but you appeared as soon as Evelyn came back? I was so worried. After I knew Evelyn was captured by the dragon, I wanted to find you, but you disappeared without a trace." Sophia's voice was filled with complaints.

Faced with Sophia's barrage of questions, Violet didn't know which one to answer. She looked up at Evelin, who had a sneer on her face, and said, "I've always been with Evelin."

"Virte is now my personal knight." Evelyn took a few steps forward and pushed Sophia away. "Her safety is guaranteed by the royal family, so Princess Sophia doesn't have to worry."

Sophia was stunned when she heard Evelin's words. Wasn't Evelin captured by the dragon? How could she have had time to bring Violet to her father, the king, and her mother?

So, did Violet disappear because she risked her life to save Evelyn?

"I didn't expect you to like her so much." Sophia figured out the whole story on her own.

Evelyn knew what Sophia was thinking by looking at her expression. She didn't explain or tell her a story. "If you came here just to see Violet, then you've seen her now. Goodbye." Evelyn ordered her to leave without hesitation.

Sophia felt a little sad, and she looked at Vilt, but Vilt's full attention was on Evelin, not even a glance away from her.

Things had come to this point, and continuing to pursue them would be beneath her status as a princess. Sophia pursed her lips, her lips curled up stiffly, and said in a muffled voice, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations." Evelin said with a smile.

What's the point of being happy together! Sophia glanced at Evelin with dissatisfaction, "Stop bothering me!" Sophia fled in panic, not seeing or being bothered.

Evelyn watched Sophia leave, closed the door and locked it with magic, then turned around and looked at Violet's beautiful face and emerald eyes. It was normal for Violet to be liked by others, but Evelyn couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

"Sophia's attitude towards me might be partly due to me being a dragon." Violet noticed something was wrong with Evelyn's mood. She thought for a moment and said aloud, "Dragons want to possess princesses, and some princesses can't help but be curious about dragons."

In fact, this was also the reason why Evelyn noticed Violet on the street in the first place.

Although Violet didn't say this, Evelin could also think of it, but she didn't feel uncomfortable because of this attraction, because she knew that her feelings for Violet were pure.

What surprised Evelin even more was that she thought Violet was insensitive to other people's emotions, but she didn't expect that she knew it, but just didn't try to catch it - this was a matter of no consequence to Violet.

"So you won't satisfy every princess's curiosity, right?" Evelyn asked, taking the initiative.

"One princess is all I need," said Violet.

Apart from Sophia, no one else in Violet Academy would dare to disturb Evelin. However, in order to avoid trouble, Evelin hung a "decline to visit" sign at the door and continued to live in her own world with Violet with peace of mind.

However, even though it was a world of two people, Evelyn did not have much free time. She was not busy with magician courses, but faced many courses on how to deal with national affairs.

Evelyn was extremely talented and graduated from the magic course early, and was even able to stay and teach the students. She had come to Violet Academy to avoid the dragon - although it seemed to be useless - and now Evelyn returned to Violet Academy to gain two more years of freedom.

Before leaving Bavrot Palace, Evelyn's father, the King, seemed to have suppressed his desire for Evelyn to take the throne early, and the King no longer explicitly urged Evelyn to ascend the throne. But in the palace, the King began to sigh as soon as he saw Evelyn. Evelyn felt like she had aged three years just by hearing her father sigh.

She didn't want her ears to grow calluses, so she might as well have two years of peace and quiet.

But having quiet ears is one thing, and it is another for Evelyn to take over some state affairs.

As early as when the king had tested her, Evelyn had known that she could refuse once or twice, but she couldn't refuse forever. This was something she would have to bear sooner or later. So, before leaving the palace, Evelyn told the king and queen her plans: she would try to handle some simple state affairs during her time at Violet Academy. She also needed to bring in some political and strategic instructors from Pavlot Palace so she could directly ask any questions she encountered. The rest of the time, she would accept the king's arrangements and attend more in-depth royal education classes.

The king and queen were very pleased with this. They gave Evelyn an extra 100,000 gold coins in pocket money and also packed a teacher and books for Violet.

Nor had they forgotten Violet.

So while Evelyn was analyzing politics and receiving education from the king, Violet, the future knight commander, was cramming her knowledge of palace security and knightly etiquette.

Miss Dragon has never read a book since she was born and received the inheritance from the egg. Because of the inheritance, Vilt is not an illiterate person. In order to make Evelyn live comfortably in the Dragon Castle, she also took the initiative to read many books and look up royal information. Reading has never been a difficult thing for Vilt.

But now, Violet was sitting alone in the empty classroom reserved for her, staring at a little old man wearing glasses. She was really unable to sit still.

She spent forty-five minutes of the one-hour class lost in thoughts of Evelyn.

The etiquette professor on the podium could tell at a glance that the future knight commander in front of him was distracted again. The professor coughed twice, then pretended to be calm and knocked on the podium with the spine of the book in his hand as a reminder. However, the future knight commander didn't even pay attention.

If this was in the Bavrot Palace, or if the future Knight Commander was a few years younger, the professor would have just glanced at him and dragged him up to stand in the corner as punishment.

But now the kingdom is in the process of power transfer, and Princess Evelyn may ascend the throne in a few years. This future Knight Commander is not only the princess's savior, but also followed the princess to Violet Academy. It is said that he eats and lives with Her Royal Highness the Princess and has an extraordinary status!

The professor is nearly seventy years old. He is not stubborn and has become a smart person. He also wants to get more pension after retirement by relying on the royal family.

So the etiquette professor looked at the nose and the heart, he picked up the book and read the contents of a page from beginning to end. When he finished reading, he looked up and saw that Violet was still not in a state of concentration. The professor did not turn the page, but started reading from the beginning again.

Violet supported her chin with her hand, and the old professor's voice was faintly in her ears, serving as a background sound.

At this moment, other sounds suddenly appeared in the background noise that Violet was used to. Amid the old professor's reading, someone knocked on the closed door of the classroom three times from outside.

The old professor's voice suddenly stopped and he subconsciously looked towards the door. It was class time and no one would come to disturb him.

Violet also looked up, only to see the person outside the classroom push open the door without receiving a response. Outside the door was Evelyn and her strategy teacher, who looked expressionless.

The strategy teacher held a pile of parchment scrolls in his arms and nodded to the old professor with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Mr. Mott." Evelyn greeted the old professor politely, then walked straight to Vilt and sat down. After she had completely settled herself next to Vilt, Evelyn revealed a relaxed smile. "I missed you so much, Vilt." Evelyn whispered, moving closer to Vilt's shoulder without caring about her image.

Violet tilted her head as well and replied softly, "Me too."

At the podium, the two teachers had the same sad look on their faces. The old professor said, "My students don't listen to the class," and the strategy teacher said, "My students are disobedient."

The strategy teacher placed the parchment on the podium and looked at the old professor again, and a tacit understanding emerged between them.

The strategy teacher said seriously, "Your Highness, you and Lady Violet have been studying for nearly an hour today. It's really too tiring. Please take a good rest. Mr. Mott and I will discuss how to proceed with the next lesson."

"Okay. Mr. Levin, Mr. Mott, thank you for your hard work." Evelyn said politely.

The two teachers left quickly with smiles on their faces, but of course they did not forget to close the classroom door before leaving.

Evelyn and Violet's classes had only started for less than a week. At first, both of them could study hard and concentrate, but as time went on, even though they could see each other during lunch breaks and in the evenings, they still felt that the time they saw each other was too little. Without someone around, it felt like half the world was empty, and something was wrong.

I had been through this before I met him, but now I can't even endure it.

The crystal clock on the classroom wall slowly moved its hands. It was not yet half past nine. Vilt and Evelyn were sitting in the second row in the middle of the classroom. The sun could not reach the room at this time, but when Evelyn appeared, Vilt felt that not only did her heart calm down, but even her body felt warm.

The two professors went out to "discuss" for nearly twenty minutes before finalizing the subsequent teaching process.

They naturally couldn't teach at the same time. Violet's course was easier than Evelyn's. She only needed to memorize court etiquette and the chivalric code, and there weren't many opportunities for her to practice them at Violet Academy. So, Violet's class schedule was adjusted to match Evelyn's. Once the princess finished her lessons and began to attend to state affairs, Violet could accompany her in her studies.

Evelin was quite satisfied with the result. "Okay, it's settled. It will be implemented tomorrow." Having said that, she had no intention of leaving. She raised her eyes and motioned for Mott to bring the parchment scroll to her.

Mr. Mott and the old professor looked at each other. One of them placed the parchment scroll in front of Evelyn and then stood dignifiedly by the side, waiting to be a human-shaped encyclopedia of a princess. The other one slowly opened the book and turned to the page he had been reading all morning and started reading from the beginning again.

After adjusting the teaching time, the learning efficiency of Vilt and Evelyn has improved a lot.

A month later, Violet had completed all the lessons she needed to learn, and the old professor retired. Violet no longer had to live in separate rooms with Evelyn.

At the same time, the renovation project of Violet Academy was also coming to an end - Violet and Evelyn moved back to the original noble dormitory. Before leaving, Evelyn looked at the double bed with some regret. She could not be lazy anymore.

The Vilt Building was built right next to the teaching building. Its walls were painted in a rose-colored paint that was completely different from the other buildings. In a prominent place, the four words "Vilt Building" written with magic shone with golden light under the sunlight.

Of course, this word was written by Evelin herself. She also asked the dean for an office in the Vilt Building, and when the renovation was completed, she moved in with Vilt.

In a month's time, Evelyn gradually became adept at handling state affairs, from the initial trivial disputes between ministers to the approval of a county's tax policy and financial planning.

As time went by, the number of teachers around Evelyn was reduced one after another, from only Levin left to Mr. Levin who became less and less useful.

Seeing that his role was about to be reduced to zero, Levin packed his luggage in time and waited for Her Royal Highness the Princess to give the order to send him back.

However, Evelin deliberately put this matter on hold because she didn't really want to become successful as soon as possible.

Evelyn repeatedly shortened the time for government affairs that originally took one or two days to complete, giving her more free time. So when she was free, she took Violet to visit the school.

Violet was no stranger to Violet Academy; she knew it inside and out. However, she knew the academy's floor plan and architectural layout, but she didn't know the romantic stories of the flowers, plants, and trees there.

Evelyn brought Violet to the Katara Garden in the academy with a clear goal.

Violet Academy boasts an open academic atmosphere, and only those who are able to attend are truly exceptional. Besides classrooms, the academy also boasts an art studio, a concert hall, a sculpture studio, and a stable. While the stable itself isn't particularly elegant, the elegant art gallery is located nearby, near Katla Gardens, offering a convenient opportunity for budding magicians to cultivate their talents.

This will naturally foster many deeper interpersonal relationships, and a corner of Katla Garden will become a natural dating spot.

Evelin had heard of this place before she enrolled, but she had never taken it seriously, and she never thought that one day she would take the initiative to bring someone here.

It was afternoon now, and the sun was setting low in the sky. It was not the time for campus lovers to hang out, so only a few people could be seen here and there.

In other places in the academy, Evelyn could talk about countless allusions and stories, but now in the Katla Garden, Evelyn did not talk about the purpose of this place. She didn't know why she remained silent. She just wanted to take a walk here with Violet.

Holding hands, they strolled slowly through the garden, identifying the flowers planted in the beds and the birds nestling in the trees. When they were tired, they sat down on a bench to rest. The afternoon sun shone on them, making them feel a little lazy. Violet squinted her eyes in a rare, relaxed manner.

Time passed day by day, and Evelyn and Violet's meeting places also spread from Violet Academy to the surrounding areas of the school. If they had not had enough vacation time, the two of them would have packed their backpacks and gone out to travel like they did when they first came to Violet Academy.

Everyone in the academy knew that where Evelyn was, there was Violet, and vice versa.

They had no intention of hiding their relationship, and they openly went in and out together, ate together, and lived together. Many people had seen them holding hands and exchanging food.

No one would comment on the other half of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Bavlot Palace, but the eyes of people around them would inevitably fall on the two of them.

These gazes contained many emotions, but even the most prolonged ones would fade with time. And so, as the attention faded, another year passed.

In the summer, Violet Academy was on vacation.

There are two options for holidays at Violet Academy: one is to go home for vacation, and the other is to participate in the summer camp activities organized by the school to improve your abilities and make some friends.

Evelyn and Violet had little to improve, and they didn't have time to attend summer camp and make friends.

A month before summer vacation, both of them were busy. Evelyn was busy with the election in Southern County, while Vilt followed Knight Commander Jack to the Forto Forest to suppress a possible monster riot.

There are many monsters in the Foto Forest. The monsters can fight countless times in the depths of the forest to occupy territory. Usually, they are just minor fights. Only in winter will the monsters become restless because they want to occupy territory and have more food to survive the winter.

In previous years, during the restless period, there would be magicians specifically monitoring the Bavrot Palace, and there were even high-level magicians who took advantage of the Warcraft's restless period to sneak into the Foto Forest to pick up bargains.

This year, perhaps because Velte was no longer in Dragon Castle, the monsters were fighting over territory, and the period of unrest seemed to be coming earlier. The war between the monsters almost spread to the surface of the forest, and the surrounding towns were almost destroyed.

The royal family could not sit idly by, so they sent a team of knights and magicians to the Forest of Forto. Vilt joined the team to learn. The knights were led by Jack, and Vilt would take over his position in the future. Now was a good opportunity to learn from Jack.

On her first trip with the Cavaliers, Violet was placed in a small team by Jack.

When they arrived at the surface of the Foto Forest, the element detector in the magician's hand was already off the charts. You have to know that there were not many low-level monsters on the surface of the forest and even on the periphery before, only various wild beasts.

Jack's expression turned serious. It seemed that the situation was very serious. If it was not dealt with in time, the losses would probably be greater than the previous Warcraft riot.

Jack immediately assigned tasks to each team. First, they had to determine the location of the monsters, how many locations had experienced conflicts, and how many monsters were on each side. They weren't responsible for conflicts deep within the forest; their primary focus was on the movements of the monsters in the outer and central parts of the forest.

After explaining the mission requirements, Jack glanced at Vilt. In fact, he trusted Vilt's team the most. After all, Vilt had the final say in the Foto Forest. He just hoped that when the fight really started, she would not be too brutal and scare people.

Violet had no idea what Jack was thinking, so she followed the group toward the center of the forest.

Jack was also in the small team. He arranged his deputy to coordinate the work at the camp where the Knights were stationed.

Team One's mission was the most arduous, as they were the only team to penetrate the depths of the forest. Jack was supposed to be the team leader, but now that Violet, a student, had joined the team, he felt comfortable handing over the reins.

Violet was not polite either.

The monsters in the Foto Forest are of various species and they fight without any regard for others. The monsters with space elements will leave space traps one after another in the forest. If people step in without noticing, they will step into a maze that they can never get out of.

However, this kind of space magic was full of loopholes in Vilt's eyes. Before her teammates noticed, Vilt crushed one space trap after another, and they all moved forward smoothly according to the display of the detection instrument.

The surface and outer layers of the monsters were easy to deal with. Given the strength of Vilt's team, a single fireball would incinerate low-level monsters, and fights with mid-level monsters could be easily stopped. Along the way, each member of the Knights' team collected a considerable amount of magic crystals and monster carcasses, waiting to be distributed at the end of the mission.

They walked peacefully for five days and arrived at the center of the forest.

At noon, Violet heard something and stopped.

As she stopped, the detector in the magician's hand beside her suddenly lit up one light ball after another.

Reflecting the color of the light ball, the howling and fighting sounds of monsters in the distance also rose one after another.

Violet and Jack looked at each other, and a small team continued to go deeper to find out whether the situation was under control.

Magic elements appear in different colors on the detector, one color represents one element, and the size of the light ball represents the number of magical beasts.

As the team approached, the elemental eyes and the outline of the light ball on the detector became clearer and clearer. It was four or five high-level monsters fighting in a group.

The wars between monsters are very brutal. They don't pay much attention to strategy, but rely entirely on hand-to-hand combat, gathering magical elements in their bodies and rushing around to bite each other.

The magician assessed the situation and concluded that a fight between seven or eight high-level monsters in the middle of a forest was commonplace. They only needed to assess the range of the fighting and leave without worrying too much. However, the current situation demanded their vigilance, as a Sunwing beast was among the fighting monsters.

The Sunwinged Beast spread its wings, flapping them now and then with its claws. Its ability to fly gave it an advantage over land-based monsters, but the other monsters weren't new to fighting. While highly maneuverable, Sunwinged Beasts were also very fragile, lacking a hard shell to protect them. A single claw from a land-based monster would severely injure them. Therefore, while Sunwinged Beast appeared to be flying with ease, it was actually constantly on guard, ready to flee at the slightest sign of a disadvantage.

What Vilt and the others need to be wary of is the chase between the monsters after the Xunyimon runs away.

The monsters don't care about the escape route. They will keep moving forward to save their lives. The food chain among the monsters means that the Xunyi Beast dare not fly deep into the forest. It would be fine if it circled in the middle of the forest, but I am afraid it would fly to the outskirts of the forest!

Velde and her team stopped behind a thick tree and watched the fighting beasts from afar. She lowered her voice, "If the Sunwing Beast tries to escape, restrain it first and don't let it fly away."

As she spoke, Vilt glanced at her team's composition. Their team consisted of nearly twenty magicians, swordsmen, and shieldmen. With proper command, they had a chance of victory against four or five high-level monsters.

Violet hadn't had to reveal any of her strength all along, but now it seemed she had to act according to circumstances.

Vilt's team was still some distance away from the monster. They all lowered their breathing and approached cautiously.

However, just as Vilt walked forward to the distance of three trees, before she could continue, the monsters fighting in the distance instinctively realized something - the monsters that were originally biting each other suddenly stiffened visibly, and then they quickly loosened their teeth, stopped fighting in an instant, and fled away.

Even the Xunyi beast, which made the team members feel like they were facing a formidable enemy at the beginning, did not fly to the outskirts of the forest, but flew into the depths of the forest in a panic.

"What happened to them?" The swordsman had just drawn his sword and taken a few steps when he looked at the increasingly smaller figure of the Xunyi beast, feeling puzzled.

"This is the first time I've seen someone run away in the middle of a fight."

"Based on experience, they should have sensed the appearance of a more powerful monster." An experienced magician said, but as she spoke, she looked at the monster energy detector in her hand. The originally violent light ball had disappeared and turned into the lines that were common in the past few days. The lines fluctuated regularly at the highest threshold and were very stable. The monster that just ran away and the other monsters around it could be detected, and no new energy value was increased.

"But..." The magician couldn't explain this phenomenon. "Logically speaking, even if the level of the monster exceeds the detector's maximum threshold, my instrument will react."

Velvet glanced down at the instrument in the magician's hand, then looked at Jack with a bewildered expression, "Knight Commander... this?"

Jack raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Violet throw the question at him. He didn't explain why the monsters suddenly fled in panic. Instead, he continued in a serious tone, "This time the monsters' fluctuations are more severe than before. Now they seem to have stabilized, but we can no longer let our guard down."

"yes!"

The small team continued to advance in the middle of the forest for a few days. During these days, no magical beasts ran away immediately after seeing them. The small team didn't even see a few magical beasts.

The violent monsters calmed down for a moment.

The forest seemed to have returned to harmony, but Jack did not let his guard down. He ordered a small team to set up camp in the middle of the forest. They needed to observe for a few more days.

Violet still did not release the dragon's breath, but she was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea. As long as she was there, no monster would dare to act rashly.

The next day, Jack was very satisfied with the peaceful Forto Forest. When everyone was shocked at how the Warcraft riot ended after only two weeks, Jack looked at Vilt with understanding.

He thought with a smile: Violet is not some scary and hateful dragon, but his good colleague.

Another week passed before a small group slowly withdrew from the center of the forest.

The mission was over and the Knights were going back to Bavrot Palace to report on their work, but Vilt did not go with them.

Jack thought that Violet was going to find Her Royal Highness the Princess and go back to the palace with Her Royal Highness, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The group parted ways in a small town not far from the Foto Forest. Jack naturally led the team towards the palace, while Violet seemed to be heading towards Violet Academy, but in fact she flashed back to the Foto Forest.

After Velte left the Dragon Castle, layers of fog enveloped the castle. Both monsters and humans would be lost in the fog, and if they didn't retreat, they would be trapped and killed.

This year, many humans came to the Forest of Foto. Humans were smarter than monsters and would turn back when they saw the situation was not good. However, monsters held the arrogant mentality of "when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king". On the way to the Dragon Castle deep in the forest, Vilt saw the corpses of many high-level monsters.

Violet had no intention of burying them. She withdrew her gaze, passed through the fog and stopped in front of the Dragon Castle.

The lights in front of the Dragon Castle were still on, flickering faintly in the depths of the dark forest.

Violet still entered the castle from the rooftop balcony. As soon as she landed, she felt a little cold.

The Dragon Castle was shrouded in magic, with a pleasant temperature year-round. The air was free of dust and had no musty smell. However, due to being uninhabited for so long, it lacked a touch of humanity, appearing deserted and eerie.

In fact, every time Violet returned to the Dragon Castle, the environment of the castle was like this, and she didn't have any thoughts at that time.

But now, after being together with Evelyn, Violet found that she could no longer stand the indifference and silence here.

The castle stood there for a long time without any change, only she changed.

Violet lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly. Without further delay, she went to her room with a clear goal in mind and took something out from under her pillow.

It was a ring inlaid with magic crystal.

According to Violet's original idea, the ring should have been given away long ago. But after being with Evelyn, she also learned a lot of common sense in human society, one of which is that the rings worn by royal families usually represent authority.

The ordinary magic crystal ring in Vilt's hand was a bit embarrassing to show off, so the ring was placed in the Dragon Castle and remained sealed for a year.

She also gave Evelin many gifts this year, but she always felt it was not enough.

Until, Violet saw another use for the ring in a human book.

Violet wanted to be with Evelyn for a long time, so she came back and took the ring.
