As usual, Christina was in class at school.
Normally, she wouldn't zone out, but she kept thinking about what happened today at Count Goethe's place.
She just observed her surroundings for a moment.
Captain Grey, who was in charge of the case, had already determined the outcome.
"Clearly, this is a murder case. Someone paid a large sum to hire an assassin to kill Count Goethe. And right here, we have a duke's daughter who wanted Goethe dead."
Those were Captain Grey's exact words.
Christina immediately said she had nothing to do with it.
The other party just gave Christina a meaningful look.
It was clear that Captain Grey, who was handling the matter, already considered Christina a suspect.
Christina's explanation for this became incredibly pale.
Snapping back to reality, Christina looked at Student Xi Nuo in the corner of the classroom.
The class bell had just rung.
After the teacher left, Christina approached Student Xi Nuo.
"What do you want?" Milia's voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
This sudden voice startled Christina.
"I just wanted to talk to Student Xi Nuo."
"What do you want to talk about?" Student Xi Nuo asked.
Student Xi Nuo carefully observed Christina; she was a girl with red hair tied into two buns.
Her overall style leaned towards cute.
"I want to talk to Student Xi Nuo alone!" Christina said.
"Then let's go find a place where no one is!"
Student Xi Nuo replied.
Christina looked at Milia; she had expected Milia to be very angry.
After all, Milia was Student Xi Nuo's boyfriend.
And she wanted to talk to Student Xi Nuo alone.
But Milia said nothing.
The two arrived at an empty classroom in the corner of the teaching building.
"Speak, what do you want with me?"
"Regarding the Sanctuary incident last time, you seemed very powerful and mysterious!"
"So what do you want to say?"
"So can you help me? Sid-dousheng is very likely being targeted by the Thirteen Night Swords!"
"Sid-dousheng has his own destiny, there's no need to worry! Also, the Clown will kill all the Thirteen Night Swords. You just need to quietly get through these next few days!"
"Student Xi Nuo, why are you so sure that all the Thirteen Night Swords will be killed by the Clown? They are an organization that has been lurking in the capital for a long time, and even the royal family can't do anything about them."
"That's hard to explain to you. Let me show you a magic trick!"
Student Xi Nuo took out a coin.
"Guess heads or tails."
Christina didn't quite understand.
"Heads, I guess!"
Student Xi Nuo tossed the coin; it was tails.
Student Xi Nuo tossed the coin a few more times, and it was always tails.
"How can it always be tails?"
Christina was puzzled.
"Because I tampered with it, right before your eyes."
"What did you tamper with?"
"I flipped the coin right in front of you."
"This... how is that possible?"
"You toss the coin!"
Student Xi Nuo handed the coin to Christina.
Christina took the coin.
She tossed it lightly.
Then the coin disappeared.
Under Christina's gaze, the coin vanished.
"Did you see how the coin disappeared?" Student Xi Nuo asked.
"I didn't see it."
"Then guess where the coin is now?"
"I don't know."
"You'll know soon."
After Student Xi Nuo said this.
Christina suddenly felt a cold, chilling sensation.
The sensation came from her chest.
It felt as if the coin had appeared inside her bra.
How did the coin get in there, despite her wearing thick, close-fitting clothes?
Christina's peripheral vision suddenly noticed that Student Xi Nuo had disappeared.
She looked up, and Student Xi Nuo was gone without a trace.
She hadn't heard any sound, felt any movement; the living person in front of her had vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Who exactly is he? It feels like he can do anything. As if he's not from the same dimension as me."
Christina took out the coin.
She suddenly remembered something.
Princess Alexia was once hailed as the 'Sword of Mortals'.
But after being kidnapped, it was as if she suddenly had an epiphany.
Her strength suddenly became very powerful.
She seemed to remember that during that time, Alexia had dated Sid for a while, then broken up.
She suddenly had a guess.
"Using Sid as a go-between to meet Student Xi Nuo.
And finally becoming Student Xi Nuo's person.
Is this the truth behind Princess Alexia's increase in power?
Then if it were me, could I also become as powerful as Princess Alexia?"
Christina murmured to herself...
Christina brought Sid and Kanade back home.
The servants prepared food for them. Christina left for something, leaving the two of them alone.
Kanade was eating the high-quality food from the Duke's house, all custom-made by Mitsugoshi Company.
Sid looked at Kanade's unsophisticated appearance and didn't know how to comment.
"Sid, can I have your portion too?"
"Such delicious food, you might only eat it once in your life. Sid, aren't you going to eat it?"
Sid looked at Kanade and realized that she was much more of a mob character than himself.
Every action and behavior was like a mob character, and that shabby air made her look too much like a mob character.
He himself was acting as a mob character, but she was a genuine mob character.
"You eat it!"
"Thank you, Sid, I really love you!"
"Unexpectedly received cheap love."
Sid often ate this kind of food; he always ate for free at Mitsugoshi Company.
Gamma had made arrangements.
Moreover, anything he consumed was free.
He ate this kind of food frequently and didn't feel much about it.
Sid looked at the Duke's house and noticed that all the furniture was from Mitsugoshi.
"Mitsugoshi Company is so amazing! Student Xi Nuo is really incredible, starting from scratch and building such an awesome Mitsugoshi Company with Gamma."
"If I were to do it..."
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any plans.
"It seems easier to be a hands-off boss."
"I'm quite good as I am now, anyway, I can freeload off Mitsugoshi Company."
"An ordinary Magic Swordsman, yet the owner of a rich and powerful trading company! As the Eminence in Shadow, Student Xi Nuo is truly amazing!"
Sid exclaimed.
Kanade always had an unsophisticated look about her.
She was interested in everything in the room.
After a while, Christina returned.
She had just left to handle some matters and was not in the room temporarily.
The unsophisticated Kanade suddenly became very normal.
That look of finding everything new and exciting was gone.
"Count Goethe is dead! Many people now suspect that House Hope did it. You two need to be careful recently!"
"No problem, if there's danger, I'll protect Sid. After all, I'm better than him!" Kanade thumped her chest and promised.
In terms of academic performance alone, Kanade was indeed better than Sid.
Christina kept thinking about Student Xi Nuo's words.
"The Clown will deal with the Thirteen Night Swords."
As for the outcome, she could only wait and see.
