When Lynn entered the study roo in his direction
For his days to be so consistently entangled with Yuven's, Lynn was perplexed
He reflected on the tinored his existence It felt like a lifetio now
For sooodat her
”Lynn, I just heard so You were a slave, weren't you”
So word's gotten out…
He groaned to himself silently
Who the hell told her!
”That's why you didn't tell me your surname Wait, it's not that you didn't tell ht? I in with so…”
Lynn sih
”That's right I was doing faret in my way Here, I'm able to study and attend classes, just the same as you aristocrats, and the commoners”
”You may not care about your social class anymore, but ould everyone else think, I wonder? Would they continue to treat you the same way?”
I see So that's what you want to say
She seeained some information that she could use to threaten hi about with already know But if you want to go around spreading it, be uest Then you can see for yourself how people treat es, can't you?”
Having said that, Lynn turned his attention to his textbook
Yuven was frustrated She was able to get under Theo's skin easily, he would give her the reaction she wanted, but now rew evenpace Was he about to already finish preparing for the next lesson already?
”Hey Can you put that book down for a minute?”
”What? Why?”
”Because you've already studied enoughYou don't need to put any h”
”Well, yeah, but… I have long shi+fts at the factory on the weekend When I get hoet e your brain if you carry on reading books as ave her a blank look He didn't understand where her corasped the gist of whatever it is, just shut the book You should have more fun, you know”
”Wait ait Hold on a second I don't get you Why would ed if I read too e, you shouldn't burn yourself out No matter what the subject is, there's a li your wheels”
”I don't think that's quite right…”
”Shut up Stop nitpicking what I say and shut the book already”
Because of Yuven's incessant interference, Lynn wasn't able to finish his revision that day in a way he was satisfied with

”Right then” Lynn muttered to himself under his breath
He was in the classroom, and class was soon about to start He found Theo and sat down next to hiiving Lynn a puzzled look
”Not really”
What can I do though At this rate I won't even be able to study quietly
Lynn often used this strategy to evade Yuven's harassment In other words, he hid in Theo's shadow
The reason Lynn wasn't looked down upon because of his slave origins was because he was Theo's friend
Everyone regarded Theo with a certain respect For as long as he was Theo's friend, no one was able to make any careless passes or reet on with my spreperation peacefully now Theo will stick up for ood friend
However on this day, Yuven wasn't about to let hiy like usual
When Lynn was feeling settled and had just opened up his textbook, Yuven caain?”
