"Mou, I asked you to stop…" Clara pouted and straightened the wrinkles on her habit .
"Sorry, sorry, I could not control myself . " I scratched the back of my head with a wide grin .
"Hmph!" Clara rolled her eyes, but her lips curved up in an imperceptible smile . "You did it for so long, I hope that sister Safelia doesn't notice anything strange and enters the room… If she realizes that we are not there, then…"
"Don't worry about that, I made sure that she does not suspect anything . "
Clara looked at me with a suspicious expression, but in the next second, her face bloomed into a smile .
She then hugged my arm and pressed her body against mine with a concerned look . "Claus, what are you going to do now? I have the presentment that the people that visited father are not simple . If you are being targeted by them, then you…"
"Silly girl, don't worry . " I knocked her forehead slightly and kissed her lips . "You saw my strength . In fact, I already have an idea about who sent those people . I know what to do . "
Clara nodded softly and looked into my eyes with a worried expression . "Claus, be careful . "
"I know . "
Afterward, we went back to the meeting room . When Safelia saw us exiting the room, she stared at us with an unreadable expression . "You sure took long… Did you come to a decision?" She looked at me .
I did my best to show a cold face . "I'm sorry, saintness Safelia, but I need to think a bit more before coming to a decision . "
Safelia frowned . "Prince, I want to remind you that we already gave you enough face allowing you to rescind the marriage . But if you don't want to accept our kindness, I don't mind rescinding the marriage from our part . "
My expression turned chilly . "Are you threatening me?"
"If you think so . " Safelia put on a kind look befitting of a saintness, however, her eyes were arrogant, looking at me as though I was nothing more than an insignificant insect .
… Well, I have always hated religious fanatics for this reason .
They are a pretty unpleasant bunch .
"Don't worry, you'll know my answer soon . " I smirked and walked away . Before leaving, I shot a last look at Clara .
Clara gazed at me lovingly, but she quickly hid her feelings . It would be bad if saintness Safelia realizes that something is wrong .
…
Once Claus was gone, Safelia furrowed her brows .
"Clara, are you sure that you don't want to rescind the engagement on your own? That prince does not look like someone that will cooperate easily . Don't worry, with the church backing you, nobody can say anything even if the other part is a prince . "
Clara looked in the direction Claus left and heaved a sigh . "… I can't do it, sister Safelia . You know how much I love him . I don't want to harm him more than I have done . . . "
"… Clara, feelings like love are unnecessary for the servants of the goddess . Although I can understand you, I hope you can get over such feelings quickly . "
Clara lowered her head silently .
Seeing this, Safelia sighed . "Ha… It doesn't matter . You will soon understand the goddess's greatness anyway . "
For some reason, Clara was reminded of Claus's big thing when she heard Safelia's words .
Instantly, she blushed and scolded herself in her mind .
'Clara, did you turn into a pervert after doing it with him!? How can you think of something so dirty…!'
'Although honestly, he truly was great…'
…
Night .
After the meeting with Clara, I went to the student council and explained things to the others . Of course, I did not tell them about the sex, only mentioning that Clara asked me to cancel the engagement .
Strangely, Daisy looked at me with an explain-to-me smiling expression . I swear I don't know how she realized . I even made sure to eliminate any strange smell .
I can only say that women's instincts are very frightening .
By the way, Dina and Andrea were smiling despite outwardly criticizing Clara for asking me to cancel the engagement . Girls, your true thoughts are clear for everybody to see . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Afterward, we finished the work for the day and returned to our dormitories . Some noble students prefer to return to their houses instead of sleeping in the institute, but I don't have plans to return to the imperial palace for the time being .
But when I entered the bedroom, instead of going to sleep as I was supposed to, I created a small spell on my fingertips and pushed it inside my body .
[Recognition Interference]
A very useful spell for undercover operations . It's a mind interference spell that prevents others from recognizing the true identity of the user .
With this spell, I don't need to disguise myself to avoid being recognized as the prince .
It's like when that famous superhero put on the glasses and becomes a reporter . Even though his face is exactly the same, nobody recognizes him . Well, this spell works the same way .
But just in case, I dyed my hair and eyes red . With this, even someone with an outstanding perception will fail to recognize my true identity .
When my preparations were done, I flashed out of the institute .
Something I realized when I met Clara today was that I have been too relaxed .
I said it before, but it's a bit difficult for me to take the problems around me seriously . After all, no matter how threatening they look, I'm confident about having the last laugh .
For me, Lilia's attempts to harm me are nothing more than a joke .
However, sometimes I forgot that everybody is not like me .
Even if I don't feel pressured by empress Lilia's schemes, the people around me, like Dina, Lena, Clara, or aunt Dayana, are giving their best to overcome Lilia's schemes . They did not know about my prowess or abilities, so they can only see the great danger we are under .
So, even if it's to relieve them, I decided to be more proactive .
Didn't I promise Dina that I would make her the emperor? Well, I'll take the first step towards that goal tonight .
