Chapter 326: Twenty-one It turns out to be you

In the following days, Hewinia’s life was very peaceful.

For Hewinia, these were probably the calmest days since Bai Wei had “moved in”.

As the Seven Notes·Syllable festival approached day by day, the regular classes had already stopped, and the students began to leave the school one after another. During this period, the person lurking in the shadows did not come to find Hewinia, as if they didn’t exist at all.

During the day, Hewinia spent her time in the study rooms learning, writing papers, and talking with others, looking as if she was preparing for the festival.

At night, however, she would study Arianna’s private musical scores all night long.

On the day of Seven Notes·Syllable, the academy would be locked down, so both students and professors needed to leave the school the night before the festival.

Most students wouldn’t wait until the last day to leave and would depart earlier.

However, during her daytime conversations, Hewinia would slip in that she would stay until the very last evening before leaving.

On the surface, it was for study, to better prepare for the festival.

But in reality, Hewinia was signaling to that person in the shadows that the coming night would be their last chance.

Hewinia believed the other party would understand. At this moment, a rare tacit agreement had been reached between prey and hunter.

At the same time, Hewinia was also observing the people around her because she knew that the person must be one of those who stayed until the last day.

And so, the time finally came to the day before Seven Notes·Syllable.

This day was also known as the Silent Night.

On this day, the entirety of Holy Sound was to remain silent, forbidding any musical performance.

This silence laid the groundwork for an even Noisier melody on the day of the Seven Notes·Syllable.

Hewinia walked out of the dormitory.

Because playing tunes was forbidden, and most students had already left the campus, the entire school was so quiet one could almost hear the sound of falling snow melting.

Hewinia took a deep breath, the cold air that filled her nostrils made her slightly groggy mind from only two hours of sleep a bit clearer.

Let’s go—she shook her head, about to leave, when a familiar voice rang out beside her ear: “Hewinia~”

And then came the familiar feeling of being smothered.

Daphne was still embracing her in a way that seemed to want to drown Hewinia in her ample bosom.

“Ah, Daphne.” Hewinia kept patting Daphne’s back, struggling to escape the suffocating embrace, and then breathlessly looked at the smiling Daphne, “Why are you here?”

Daphne stepped back with a beaming smile and pointed behind her: “Look, aren’t I here to pick you up and take you to my house?”

Hewinia followed the direction Daphne was pointing and indeed saw a carriage parked in front of the school gate, with Daphne’s servant standing beside it respectfully.

It did seem that she had come to pick her up.

Hewinia casually said, “Didn’t I tell you? I can’t go to your house for this Seven Notes·Syllable.”

“Ah, why not?”

“Because I’m going to spend it at my own home.”

Daphne’s eyes widened: “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“Sorry.” Hewinia spread her hands, “I forgot.”

“Ahhh, really!” Daphne began to furiously rub Hewinia’s head again, “I came all the way here to pick you up! Honestly, I’m from the Second Division, and I run to your Third Division every day, and you still stood me up, it makes me so mad!”

Hewinia quickly begged for mercy, but her hair still ended up in a mess from Daphne’s rubbing. freewёbnoνel.com

Seeing Daphne’s indignant look, Hewinia said somewhat helplessly: “I’ll come apologize to you after the festival.”

“Come apologize…” Daphne blinked, then suddenly as if remembering something slapped her hand, “Oh right! After Seven Notes·Syllable you’ll be coming to our Second Division, I’d forgotten about that!”

With that thought, Daphne immediately flashed a satisfied and radiant smile, and then hugged Hewinia again, this time without the suffocation attack.

“Hehehe, then we can be together every day just like before, staying together for sleeping, bathing, eating! I won’t have to run here every day, making me look like a transfer student in your Third Division when I’m actually from the Second. No more transferring after this!”

“Yes, yes, no more transferring.”

After confirming that Hewinia would go to the Second Division after the festival, Daphne didn’t mind anymore that Hewinia had caused her a wasted trip.

After waving goodbye to Hewinia, Daphne got into her family’s carriage and then left the academy.

Meanwhile, Hewinia stood in place, smiling and waving at the carriage as if saying farewell to Daphne, her close friend.

Only when Daphne’s carriage had completely vanished from her view did Hewinia’s smile fade, and she slowly opened her other hand.

In the palm lay a flaring flame.

As long as she held the flame in her hand, she could feel the carriage speeding through the snow, and even hear the carefree Daphne inside, humming a song whose lyrics were clearly audible.

“Very good.” She turned around and looked at the ancient castle standing in the snow, “Next is…”

…

“You’ve come.” Leon looked at Hewinia and spoke indifferently, “I thought you had forgotten about me, your mentor.”

Naturally, Leon, as her mentor, was quite dissatisfied with Hewinia’s private acceptance of Phinis’s invitation.
