You call this the mastermind?

A clear dog bark suddenly sounded in the quiet living room.

Juliana, who was waiting for a reply, was stunned for a moment, and then her face quickly turned red. She could no longer maintain her serious expression, and instead glared at Meren viciously.

"Are you sure you want to say this?"

"Uh, what did you say?"

"If you bring this up, I have something to ask you!"

"What did I mention?"

Mellen looked innocent, "You are my fiancée's mother, what are you talking about?"

"You also know you have a fiancée?!"

This topic quickly enlivened the originally unfamiliar atmosphere between the two parties, to the point where the black-haired young woman's slender eyebrows stood up.

"When you were entangled with someone, why didn't you think of this?"

If Kevin hadn't reminded him before, Mellen wouldn't have thought that the person in front of him would know about his relationship with his teacher.

But he didn't think the other party knew how clearly.

In other words, no matter how much the other party knows, he will never admit such a thing.

"I think only my fiancée has the right to ask this question."

Mellen said: "Of course, considering the bad things she did when she left the manor, I don't believe she would dare to appear in front of me again."

"Then you are looking down on her."

Juliana sneered when she heard this, "As expected, after hearing the letter, she will come to you tonight. Let's see what you say then."

"I'll at least let her learn how to bark three more times."

Mellen replied thoughtfully, "Then finish some unfinished things."

"Stop dreaming, she's not that mean."

"Really?"

No response.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and the black-haired young woman's tough expression gradually disintegrated, and her eyes couldn't help but become a little moist.

But then she shifted her gaze slightly panicked.

"The most I can do is check your body, unless you can promise her that you won't marry anyone but her."

With that said, she didn't even dare to stay and listen to what Melen said, so she got up and left the place in a hurry.

The tall back quickly disappeared from sight, and Meren blinked.

Then he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Why did I just say those things?"

He has some self-doubt.

Because you don't want the familiar relationship between the two parties to become so unfamiliar?

Or is it because you are expecting to make the same mistakes that every man would make?

"...No, I'm still single now."

"I don't even have an official girlfriend, so why bother?"

Thinking this way, Mellen felt relieved.

Then he was about to take out the book of secret words and ask the teacher what was going on there, when he suddenly heard a vague call from the bottom of his heart.

"This is……"

Mellen was startled by this and felt a little surprised.

…

Athena Lesomore is Juliana's niece and the legitimate daughter of the top wizard family, the Lesomore family.

In addition to this identity, she also has another identity - the chosen one of destiny.

This identity has brought her a lot of conveniences since she was a child. Not only does she make rapid progress in learning everything, but she can also predict many dangerous situations.

Normally, this kind of prediction can be learned naturally about an hour in advance.

However, not long ago, she encountered an accident on her way back to Fort St. Grant in an airship.

That accident broke her understanding of the time limit for her prediction.

Because she only realized what was going to happen a minute before the danger occurred.

However, thinking about it afterwards, she didn't think it was her problem, because countless experiences in the past had told her that the duration of this predictive ability was only one hour.

In other words, the problem lies in the matter itself.

So after escaping from the airship crash, she ignored others and launched an investigation on her own.

The direction of the investigation is very clear, integrate into the group of "refugees" who summoned the storm, and then gradually learn the truth about the matter.

The beginning stages of this behavior went well. Because they were hunted by the imperial army, the original mature organizational structure of this group of survivors of the Church of the Sun God had been shattered. A strange girl got mixed up in the process, and no one felt anything unusual.

She also learned that the golden storm was caused by a mysterious knight.

But just as her plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, she foresaw the existence of danger——

A spy from the Empire has sneaked in and wants to control the survivors by using the dream spell when they are defenseless.

Rationally speaking, her best response after seeing this situation was to leave as soon as possible and interrupt the investigation.

Because at that time, she just barely blended into this group of survivors, and her remarks were slight. Even if she gave a warning, no one would believe it. Instead, she might attract the attention of the Empire.

But she still made an irrational move——

Directly reveal his identity, break into the sight of the survivor leader, and then tell everything he knows without hesitation.

Then, naturally, she was imprisoned.

Then, disaster inevitably occurs.

The Imperials' conspiracy succeeded, and most of the survivors of the Sun God Church fell and were imprisoned in a camp for interrogation.

However, her warning was effective. At least not all the survivors were captured.

A small number of core members escaped in the chaos.

Not only that, this group of people did not forget to take her, the "prophet".

So Athena Lesmore, in a short time, transformed herself into one of the core members of the Church of the Sun God.

Although there were only ten people who escaped the disaster, including her.

But this was enough for her to quickly learn everything she wanted to know-

The mysterious knight was summoned by an old man named Hayden Cleveland.

But this Hayden Cleveland was just a cook.

Why did a cook have the ability to summon such a powerful existence?

Athena didn't understand.

She only knew that if she wanted to find out the truth, she had to rescue the cook.

How to rescue people from the barracks?

She didn't think she had the ability, because considering the existence of the mysterious knight, the barracks were full of masters and full of defense.

But she didn't, but the family behind her did.

So even though she was not in danger, she never reported her safety to her family.

It was not until a large search and rescue team gathered nearby that she left a clue in secret, mentioning that "she" was among the imperial captives, and only one person knew who she was disguised as.

This person was naturally Hayden Cleveland.

So in fact, she wanted to wait for the family to rescue "her", and considering that both parties needed to negotiate, this time was bound to be long.

But an accident made her change her mind.

This accident came from the appearance of a group of truth believers.

She knew this group of people, because she originally took the airship back to Fort Saint Grant, because this group of people was hostile to the school, and the school had to retreat and leave.

They are a group of lunatics.

Athena knew this clearly, but she didn't expect that this group of lunatics would break into the military camp because several of their companions were captured by the Empire!

What's interesting is that the imperial masters in the military camp seemed unwilling to hurt them, and even restrained their hands and feet in dealing with them, as if they wanted to capture them.

This gave her a chance.

Because there are actually many wizards around this military camp, and they all came to negotiate with the imperials because of her.

At the same time, they were ready to fight if the negotiation failed.

So Athena appeared openly in the sight of this group of people, and under the stunned gaze of this group of people, she broke into the military camp!

Chaos began.

The truth believers, wizards, imperial masters, and even ordinary soldiers in the military camp...

Except for the truth believers, no one really wanted to fight, but this fight happened, and it was inexplicable and caught off guard, so a large number of defenders were attracted.

Athena, who was regarded as the instigator, did not go very deep and was captured by the imperial masters. It seemed that she failed.

But she was actually gambling.

She bet that the cook who summoned the mysterious knight was not just a simple cook, and that he could take advantage of the chaos to get out of trouble and summon the knight.

If she won the bet, she would of course be able to escape.

Having lost the bet, she could only accept being captured and face an unknown fate.

"I have been lucky since I was a child."

As she was escorted to the depths of the camp in the chaos, Athena thought silently in her heart.

"I hope this time will be no exception."
