21 Fina Orcutt

After entering the classroom, Nanali randomly found a corner and sat down alone.

Other students also entered the classroom one after another.

A student with golden curly hair looked at Nanali in the corner, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward:

"Classmate Ashe, good morning."

This student was the one who shouted the loudest that Nanali was stealing to learn forbidden books yesterday. She was also the only daughter of Marquis Dylan, Delores Bacassi.

Last night, her father suddenly told her to make friends with the daughter of the Ashe family and also told her to be careful of a butler of the Ashe family.

Originally, Delores was somewhat puzzled and even a little disdainful. Who was she? The daughter of a marquis! Asking her to take the initiative to make friends with the daughter of an earl and be careful of a small butler of an earl's family?

Until this morning, she noticed that the knight captain that her father had always protected, who was also her cousin that she had been reluctant to admit, was hung at the entrance of the market by her father and executed by slow slicing for the crime of long-term oppression of commoners.

Executed by slow slicing! Let alone long-term oppression of commoners, even if he killed the earl, he wouldn't suffer such a punishment!

Delores also sensed something was wrong in this matter.

So, after considering for a moment, she still decided to greet Nanali. Although she couldn't lower herself to make friends with Nanali, at least she didn't want to make the relationship so tense anymore.

If Lane knew what Delores was thinking, he would definitely complain in his heart. These were all just nine-year-old children! Were the children of nobles so scheming?

Hearing Delores greeting her, Nanali was also stunned. This was really like the sun god driving a chariot out from the west.

But as the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person with a hand. Nanali nodded and replied indifferently: "Classmate Bacassi, good morning."

Regarding Nanali's attitude, Delores didn't think it was a big deal. After all, judging from how she treated Nanali on ordinary days, it was good that Nanali didn't give her a bad look.

The two only had such a simple exchange and then went to do their own things.

Seeing Delores greeting Nanali, those noble daughters with Delores were also astonished. "Bacassi, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you sleep stupidly last night?"

"Why are you greeting someone who learns forbidden books?"

As soon as they heard about forbidden books, Delores immediately raised her voice:

"Classmate Ashe didn't steal to learn forbidden books! I guarantee with the reputation of the Bacassi family!"

After all, this matter was initiated by her, and it was still up to her to clear Nanali's name.

Sure enough, as Delores said this, no one said that Nanali was stealing to learn forbidden books anymore.

But what was going on with those magics that Nanali cast yesterday?

♤ ♡ ♢ ♧

Upstairs from the teaching building where Nanali was having classes to the top floor was the dean's office of Orcutt College.

Of course, for such a magnificent teaching building, Lane certainly didn't climb up the stairs one by one but came up using a huge levitating stone.

The levitating stone was similar to the elevator in Lane's memory in his mind. But the difference was that the electricity was replaced by magic power, and the levitating stone moved up and down through the internal driving of magic power.

It was quite convenient.

However, the existence of the dean's office was indeed beyond Lane's expectation. After all, in his opinion, given the identity of Duke Orcutt, there should be a small courtyard of his own within the college. He didn't expect it to be so simple, just an office.

Reaching out and knocking on the door, soon, an extremely lazy and charming voice came from inside the door:

"Come in."

Lane pushed the door and entered the dean's office. At the first glance, he saw a red-haired woman with a terrifying figure.

The red-haired woman seemed to be taking a nap. She put two chairs together and lay on them. Her fair and long legs were exposed and lifted up like she was stretching.

Through the table, Lane could still see the two huge masses on the woman's chest. After all, each one was almost as big as Lane's head. The noble dress on her was on the verge of danger, as if it would be torn apart the next moment, but there was no sense of incongruity at all.

Lane dared to say that even the most skilled succubus in the demon race that could imitate human forms couldn't imitate the figure of this red-haired woman.

Fina Orcutt, one of the few female nobles in the Hedley Empire and the only female duke.

This woman was not ordinary. A few years ago, she kicked the king's private parts, causing the king to rest in bed for a month. But she still lived a comfortable life until now.

"Duke Fina, it's been a long time."

"Hmm? Lane?"

Fina obviously knew Lane. Hearing Lane's voice, she hurriedly sat up, and her stunning face faced Lane directly.

At the same time, the two huge masses on her chest were placed on the table like plates and bounced like jelly twice...

"Lane, you're here?"

"Didn't you ask me to come?"

Lane asked in reply.

"Ah? Ah..."

Fina smiled and then yawned: "I'm too sleepy. I didn't remember for a moment."

Lane sighed: "So, you personally looked for me. What's the matter?" Hearing this, Fina leaned back gently and leaned on the chair, smiling lightly:

"This sentence, shouldn't I be the one to ask you? I once said that if you were disappointed with this empire, come to find me at Orcutt College. Now, you're here."

"But I didn't come here to find you. I followed my young lady here."

Lane was still standing at the door, deliberately keeping a distance from this woman.

The danger and ambition of this woman, Lane was very clear.

As a strong person, Fina had been dedicated to improving the status of women in the empire. This Orcutt Women's College, which Fina had devoted all her efforts to, was enough to prove this point.

And secretly, this dangerous woman had also been eyeing the position of the king of the empire.

"Your young lady?"

Fina was puzzled. Obviously, she didn't ask clearly about the beginning and end of the matter regarding Lane's substitute teaching. She just agreed immediately upon hearing Lane's name.

"Nanali Ashe, the only daughter of Earl Horace. Now I'm her personal butler."

Lane said indifferently.

Hearing this, Fina couldn't help but straighten up: "You? Working as a butler in an earl's family?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

Lane had a nonchalant look.

Rather, Lane quite liked this kind of life.

There was no need to fight against the demons with a group of smelly men every day, nor to participate in the intrigues in a big family. Every day, he just chatted with Darrie, teased Daisy, and sent Nanali to school.

When Lane was at the border, he never even thought that he would live such a life.
