The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Helena, who was sleeping on the floor, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

"Helena, what's wrong?"

"I'm lying in bed," Macy asked with concern.

"They probably caught a chill."

Helena rubbed her slightly red nose.

"Why don't you sleep in the bed?"

"Thank you, it's okay, I'll just wear an extra layer to bed."

Helena smiled brightly at Maisie, then put on a sweater for herself.

"Okay, but don't push yourself."

"I'm not that weak, goodnight."

"Yeah, good night."

Chapter Twenty-One: You're such a tease, I'll tease you until you die!

Recently,

Besides teaching Philippa to play the piano every day, Leon...

There was nothing else to do.

Inside the castle,

If it weren't for the possibility that my life might be in danger...

And the degree of freedom is simply too low.

To be honest, I'm living a pretty comfortable life.

The only problem was that the food was really unpleasant.

Leon hated the smell of blood.

But Philippa just happened to enjoy watching him eat bloody things; perhaps she just liked to see Leon's unwilling but helpless expression.

Philippa is a very smart girl; she learns the piano very quickly.

Actually, the main piece is "To Philippa". This piece is not very difficult. Someone like Philippa, who has a piano background, can learn it in no time.

at this time,

In the dance studio, where only Leon and Philippa, a vampire, were present, Philippa, sitting at the piano, skillfully played "To Philippa."

Then, she turned to look at Leon, who was sitting in the chair next to her.

"Teacher, how did I play?"

Philippa, her delicate and beautiful face held high, spoke to Leon with an air of pride. Her pretty red eyes sparkled as if to say, "Hehehe, see? I'm just that amazing! Hurry up! Praise me! Praise me lavishly!"

"Yes, you played very well. You are the smartest and most talented pianist I have ever met."

Leon naturally went along with Philippa, so he showered her with compliments.

"No, teacher, you're wrong, I'm not human!"

However, due to Leon's oversight, Philippa became somewhat unhappy.

Oh right, you're definitely not a person!

"Among all—among all pianists!"

Leon quickly corrected her, but seeing that Philippa was still unhappy, he added, "She is also the most beautiful, lovely, and intelligent girl."

"Mmm."

Although the anger on Philippa's face had subsided, she still appeared quite indifferent.

But that's normal. A girl from a good family who has been outstanding since childhood is probably never short of praise.

Although he had considered this, Leon believed that no one in the world dislikes being praised, even if the person is not human but a vampire.

“Miss Cooper, you’re so cold, as if I’ve never made you happy.”

Leon grinned, feigning grievance, and teased him in a joking tone.

Then, Philippa laughed.

"Teacher, you must have had quite a few girlfriends outside, right?"

Philippa asked.

"Girlfriend? No, no, I've never had one. Nobody would even look at me."

Leon immediately and loudly denied it.

Just think about how Hazel looked at me, and how Helena looked at me with such disdain and disgust before she witnessed the whitewashing of the diary…

"Really?"

"Really, I'm not lying."

Leon's expression suddenly turned incredibly serious as he looked at Philippa, meeting her beautiful red eyes.

He continued, "If you don't believe me, I, Daniel, can speak to the Goddess of Justice—"

As Leon spoke, he thought about it and realized that the vampires didn't seem to have much affection for the goddess of justice.

So he immediately changed his tune, saying, "I, Daniel, swear to the Moon Ancestor that I have never touched a girl, let alone had a girlfriend. I don't even have any close female friends. The only girl I've had contact with so far is Miss Philippa. If there is even half a lie in this, may the great Moon Ancestor punish me, and may I, Daniel, be condemned to heaven—"

"Alright, alright, teacher, I believe you."

Philippa quickly interrupted.

"No, you don't believe me!"

Leon interrupted Philippa, saying that it wasn't an oath in his name anyway.

What does Daniel's business have to do with Leon! He's going to see this performance through to the end!

(●°u°●) 」

"If I, Daniel, have deceived Miss Philippa, then may the Progenitor of the Moon unleash divine punishment upon me, so that I may be struck by lightning, my soul scattered, and I shall die a horrible death!"

Leon's performance was truly heartfelt and passionate.

Well!

teacher!

For the first time, a boy had made such a serious promise to her, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside Philippa.

“Miss Cooper, you must trust me. I am the kind of person who never lies unless I am forced to tell a white lie.”

Leon said seriously.

"Okay, I trust you."

A blush spread across Philippa's face, and she lowered her pretty head slightly, giving a demure smile.

"But teacher, I've already learned how to say 'to Philippa,' it seems your only value is your blood now?"

Suddenly, Philippa looked up and grinned mischievously.

She couldn't wait to make Leon her blood servant.

He hasn't been corrupted by other girls yet. Such a pure and precious boy, I must get there first and mold him into her Philippa's shape.

Ah this...

"No, during my piano studies at Guberland University, I spent two and a half years working out a piece that is even more sophisticated than my impromptu performance of 'To Philippa,' and I think you'll love it."

After a slight pause, Leon quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"And original compositions?"

Philippa's face was full of anticipation and curiosity.

"Yes."

Leon nodded confidently.

LOL, I have a lot of original compositions, right?

Each piece is a classic that can be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years!

"Then please come in, teacher!"

Philippa stood up eagerly and gestured for Leon to sit down at the piano.

害，

I really didn't want to continue like this.

But there is no way,

Leon needs to save his life.

After letting out a helpless sigh,

Leon sat down at the piano.

"Teacher, if you can satisfy me with this piece, I can give you a big reward."

After Philippa gracefully sat down next to Leon, she spoke with a beaming smile.

Leon nearly put on the mask of pain, but thankfully he stopped himself in time and managed to keep the smile on his face.

A huge reward?

No, no.

You little devil, if you don't cause trouble for no reason like this, I'll be extremely grateful.

Leon, for one, didn't think that the reward Philippa was talking about could be anything good.

"Teacher, you don't seem very happy."

Philippa looked at Leon with a wronged expression, "I was planning to take you to the castle's treasure vault to pick out a suitable supernatural item for self-defense."

The Castle's Treasure Trove!

Leon immediately grasped the key words in Philippa's words.

This—is a sealed artifact!

This is exactly the place I want to go!

If the ideal sealing artifact exists there, then it will be the key to my escape from the Thorn Forest!

have to say,

Leon genuinely liked this reward.

"No, I really like it! I love anything Philippa gives me."

Leon, who had just been barely managing to maintain a smile, now had an exceptionally bright smile on his face.

"Tsk, how hypocritical humans are."

Philippa's little face puffed up slightly as she mumbled something.

"No."

Leon suddenly found Philippa incredibly cute and wanted to reach out and touch her hand, but he refrained from doing so.

"Then teacher, hurry up and play the piece you've been working on for two and a half years."

Philippa urged.

Clearly, her attention was more focused on the piano, which she loved and cherished, than on whether Leon's words were true or false.

“Okay…”

Leon nodded slightly, then turned to face the piano, straightened his back, sat up straight, and adjusted his posture.

Without further ado,
