52 The Transfer Student
Benson Walton’s POV:
I didn’t have the heart to reject a young lady too directly, so I said vaguely, “There’s something related to my pack that I have to deal with. I have to go back for a meeting.”
“Alright,” said Carolyn regretfully. “Good night.”
We bade each other farewell.
I wasn’t sure where Rhode heard the gossip, but he said, “Carolyn is the only heir to the Southern Pack. I heard the southern Duke wants to send her to study at the Lycan Pack.”
“She’s someone else’s daughter, so she can be sent wherever she wants.” I was not in the mood to talk to him about this.
“Get your spirits up, man.” He nudged my shoulder. “This is no ordinary gossip.”
“She’s just going to school. What else can it be?”
“Moon Goddess, use your leader’s brain and think about it. Are the educational resources of the Southern Pack very bad? Or was there a reason the southern Duke had no choice but to send his daughter to the Lycan Pack? Carolyn can receive her education in her home. Can’t the Duke find a good teacher?”
“What do you mean?” Now I felt that this wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
Rhode chuckled and winked. “There’s a well-known Sir Aldrich in the Lycan Pack.”
“So, the southern Duke wants his daughter to marry Sir Aldrich?” I didn’t think that was possible. “Both of them are heirs to their families. After marriage, should they stay in the Lycan Pack or the Southern Pack? Carolyn wants to inherit the pack, and Sir Aldrich is an officer. They can’t compromise.”
“Don’t worry.” Rhode sighed and said helplessly, “Relax, bro. Get those complicated politics out of your head. Maybe the southern Duke only wants to find a good husband for his daughter? You saw for yourself how much he treasured Carolyn yesterday.”
“But the territory and the title… ”
“No buts, you old-fashioned little old man.” He shook his head. “You’ve changed a little after you became the Alpha, Benson. Don’t always be so tense. Sometimes you should put down the burden of the Alpha and take a break. Otherwise, the consecutive transfers will crush you.”
He furrowed his brows strangely. “Maybe the Moon Godness is afraid that your unreasonable look will scare your other half, so she hasn’t allowed your mate to appear yet.”
I had to admit that Rhode made sense. Even my parents disagreed with me, always tense and worried I’d be exhausted.
However, the secret buried deep in my heart forced me to do so. So I had to find something to distract myself and force myself not to think about that matter. Otherwise, I’d be suffocated by those indescribable feelings before I collapse from work.
Selma Payne’s POV:
ƒ𝑟e𝘦we𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚Ɩ. 𝒄𝚘𝐦
It was winter, and a transfer student came to the school.
The students were all discussing whether or not Sivir Academy would undergo some changes, such as being incorporated into the royal family’s exclusive school for the noble.
This was because this ordinary academy had received two students with special statuses in a year – the Queen’s relative and the Duke’s daughter – an eye-opener for the teachers and students who were commoners.
“She’s so pretty!” Mara shouted, “Didn’t you see? When she came to submit her application to join the club, all the boys’ eyes were glued to her face!”
Avril rolled her eyes.”Calm down. Don’t act like you don’t know anything. You’re as stupid as those guys with muscles and big breasts in their heads!”
“I’m just telling the truth!” Mara asked, “How did she introduce herself? ‘Hello everyone, my name is Carolyn, daughter of the southern Duke. It’s a pleasure to meet you’. I’ve never seen such an elegant gesture before!”
“Hey! That’s not true! You have a real royal by your side. Compared to Selma, that Duke’s daughter is at best a girl from the countryside,” said Avril unhappily.
Mara frowned. “You’re too mean. That’s unlike you.”
“You’re too infatuated,” said Avril. “That’s unlike you.”
Seeing that they were about to start quarreling, I quickly mediated. “Alright, alright! It’s just a transfer student. There’s no need to quarrel over this. I heard that she’s only sixteen. So, she should still be in high school. She probably won’t have much to do with us.”
Dorothy, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, “I heard that Carolyn kicked out the female lead on the first day she joined the drama club.”
Mara’s expression was strange as she mumbled, “You can’t say that. It’s just the role of a young maiden, Quincy Scott. There are three people in the female lead group.”
“Hmm, you’re right. How can one-third of the female leads be considered the female lead? I heard that the southern Duke’s family has elven blood. In my opinion, they should be sirens. They can steal people’s souls with just a few words,” said Avril.
“Don’t say such things! I’m just stating the facts!”
“Let’s get to the point. I wonder if Chloe can accept your ‘truth as it is’?”
Chloe was a second-year junior in the high school partition. She was a gentle and thin girl who had been playing the role of ‘a young girl’.
In addition, ‘the Butterfly Lady’ was a great success after all the twists and turns. Ryan, the drama club president, was inspired after the night of the magic riot and made a series of genius adaptations.
