Chapter 631 - What? (2/2)

”Is there a difference?” Sael replied, trying to curb her sharpness.

”Yes, there is.” Leonel nodded in affirmative. ”I have never stepped foot onto the Morales family lands a day in my life. I am not even sure if they're aware I exist or not. I was raised on… another world from birth to this point.

”I might be aware of them, but this doesn't mean much of anything.”

Hearing these words Sael was stunned before she finally came to an understanding. So, from the very beginning… This was all a misunderstanding!

”You… You're saying that you're not affiliated with the Morales family and they might not even be aware you exist?”

Sael's breathing grew hurried.

”That's right.” Leonel said, raising an eyebrow. Why did she look so excited?

”And you came here of your own free will? Just to join us?”

Sael's face flushed. Out of context, this was really too precarious a situation. She looked as though she had been through… Well, Leonel didn't even want to finish the thought for fear that it might manifest in the universe.

”… Well I came here for Aina's sake… But… Yes?”

It shouldn't have been so difficult to say yes, but Sael's gaze seemed to put a heavy pressure on him. This girl seemed to have forgotten how powerful she was. If it wasn't for his strong mind and body, Leonel would have collapsed. Any other freshman in his seat would have definitely drowned their seat in sweat by now.

Leonel felt as though Sael had become a beast stalking her prey. If he didn't know better, he would have thought she was a cougar with a youthful taste.

He didn't know how old Sael was, but she definitely had to be at least a few decades older than he was… At least that was his guess…

”Hm?”

Leonel blinked. For a moment, he swore he could sense killing intent in Sael's eyes. It can't be that she could read his mind right? Or were women really so sensitive?

But it disappeared as quickly as he saw it.

”This is great news! Excellent news! Couldn't be better! HAHA!”

Leonel was taken aback by the sudden outburst. He could only watch on in a daze, certain that if Sael jumped around any harder… Her chest band definitely wouldn't be able to hold up anymore.

”Wait!” Sael stopped dancing and turned back toward Leonel. ”So you really have no idea about the Heir Trials? Be honest with me.”

Leonel blinked. ”Heir Trial? What's that?”
