"Thank you very much for your support! I will continue to work hard!" Beta returned the book to Rhodes.

Beta stuffed a piece of paper into the gap of the book in a corner where others could not see it, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Lord Rhodes, everyone arrived at the capital yesterday. What is written in it is our current stronghold."

Although there are countless things he wants to share with Lord Rhodes, his work is still here. In order to maintain the character of Teacher Natsume, and to have an identity to help the Shadow Courtyard in the future, Beta can only be full of disappointment and stay with Rhodes for the time being. respectively.

After Rhodes heard this, he didn't show any surprise.

Alpha said that the next focus of work will be on the royal capital.

At the same time, report to Rhodes the recent intelligence obtained by the Shadow Courtyard.

"Fortunately."

Rhodes smiled and picked up his book and left.

"Are you a fan of Natsume-sensei?"

When Alexia saw Rhodes, she was furious that Rhodes had left her alone.

"Roughly the same,"

The corner of Rhode's mouth curved into a beautiful curve that made women lose their minds. As for Alexia's question of who is whose fan, it would be enough to swap the identities of Rhode and Beta.

Seeing that Rhodes continued to move forward without explaining, Alexia could only follow with frustration.

Unknowingly, Alexia and Rhodes had completed the identity swap, with Rhodes taking charge of everything.

Even though he was dissatisfied, the day flew by. In the evening, on the platform of the steam train returning to the academy, Rhodes casually found a reason to say goodbye to Alexia.

"Next..."

Rhodes raised his head and squinted his eyes. The last embers of the setting sun filled the sky. The smell of food could be heard faintly on the street. The street lights were turned on in advance to prepare for the arrival of night.

Putting his hands in his pockets, he walked leisurely on the street. Arriving at the door of a store at the given address.

Rhodes observed the store in front of him.

An endless stream of people come and go. The interior decoration is not luxurious, but it is very exquisite.

A dazzling array of products are displayed in the display cabinets, and various confectionery items that have recently become popular in the capital also exude the alluring fragrance, and the most famous one is chocolate.

"There are quite a lot of people."

Rhodes was not surprised by the popularity of the store, but quietly stood at the end.

However, as soon as he reached the end of the team, a girl wearing work clothes came quickly. She seemed to realize that her irritable look was rude. She straightened her collar before talking to Rhodes, and then used Rumo. Spring breeze said with a smile.

"Can I take up a moment of your time? I'd like to ask you to help fill out our store's special questionnaire. You don't have to queue up, just come in with me."

"I can help!"

"Me too!"

Hearing that it would save the boring queue, people around him spoke one after another.

"It is enough for our store to invite just one person."

The girl decisively rejected them. Although she said this, her eyes remained on Rhodes. Rather than inviting a person, she was inviting the young man in front of her.

"Can."

Hearing Rhodes' answer, the girl seemed relieved.

"plz follow me."

The girl took Rhodes directly into the store, then walked straight up the stairs to the top floor of the store.

There is a luxurious European-style manor above.

The girl opened the door for Rhodes respectfully and stepped aside.

Silence and a solemn atmosphere descended as the door opened.

What came into view were two neat rows, with very young faces between them. They kept just the right distance between them in order to welcome someone.

A red carpet leads straight to the front, where a throne is placed.

Seven girls, symbolizing the supreme power of the Shadow Courtyard, serve on one side.

Except for the Alpha and Beta I've seen. The appearances of Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta appeared in Rhode's eyes one after another. In the two years since he left, it was rare to get together as formally as now.

At this moment, no one spoke, and even Delta, the normally noisy daughter of the wolf clan leader, was just waiting quietly beside her.

Rhodes pondered for a moment and understood what they were expecting and waiting for.

"Tap...tap..."

Light footsteps echoed in the hall.

Everyone watched intently as the young man walked to the throne calmly and sat down under everyone's attention.

Among them, there are many girls who have just joined the Shadow Courtyard, and there are also members who have been following for more than two years. They have more or less heard the legends about the boy, and this is the first time they have truly seen the object of their allegiance.

The young man sat silently in the position where they had imagined the master of the courtyard, with one hand slightly supporting his cheek, and his black eyes looking down at everyone.

The boy's handsome and young face surprised them, but there was no sense of disobedience, as if he was born to sit in that position.

Immediately afterwards, everyone put their right hands on their chests, knelt down on one knee, and saluted their common master devoutly.

"Welcome my lord!"

Ps: I have something wrong with my body, so I stopped updating for a day yesterday.
