Dixie was relieved to see that nothing much seemed to have changed between Emilia and Crystal by the time she arrived. She had been worried that the girl would realize her feelings for her princess, if she wasn't already aware of them, and take this opportunity of her princess being defenseless to act on her desires. Emilia smiled as she waved her over. "You're here already, Dixie? That was fast. Come here, look, the news is so interesting! I thought they had lost her, but the reporters are now chasing…
-
It took Emilia a moment to realize that perhaps Dixie had already caught onto the fact that she didn't stay at home after her knight had dropped her off. Despite herself, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "Um… Crystal's place?" Dixie's mood immediately turned from bad to worse. Why was it her?! That girl clearly had all the wrong feelings for her princess! Who knew what kind of crime she will commit if they are left alone? Forget about being unable to protect her, what if she wasn't there…

Ever since Mr. White directly interfered with the hero's father to rescue the boy he had already sentenced to death, the two of them had been going at it head to head at almost every opportunity they got. Be it a project bid, an auction, or even a risky new venture, neither seemed to care of potential losses as they sought to deny any opportunity that they could to their opponent. Their resources stretched, facilities overworked, meetings constantly scheduled and canceled. Anyone in the top echelons…

Regardless of his 'accident', however, Randy didn't skip out on his 'corporate training' with Samantha, though Mr. White did postpone his morning combat training for next month, once he was fully healed. Of course, Randy didn't dare tell him how his hand was really broken. What would the man think? Were his bones made out of tofu? Thankfully, Mr. White trusted him very much, and didn't question him or look too deeply at his excuses. Samantha, on the other hand, seemed to be smiling quite…

"You mean he's supposed to be the 'Second Male Lead' in the original plot?" Cynthia nodded. "Mhm, he followed Cecilia around while she was overseas. I didn't recall his name, but seeing his face reminded me." She always tried to take all the timeline based information from Cynthia with a healthy dose of skepticism, since it had changed after her arrival, after all. But it was still far from being useless, and could prove invaluable if used right. Emilia really didn't think Randy was important…
-
Emilia ended up meeting the 'husband' her father had arranged for her much sooner than she expected, because the boy in question jumped in front of her right as she was leaving the class. If not for Dixie pushing him away in time, he would have directly crashed into Emilia. Of course, her knight's push wasn't particularly gentle, and the boy collapsed on the ground with a painful groan. He didn't seem to mind it, though, and dusted himself off as he got up, looking quite shocked at having 'bumped'…

Emilia didn't know what the villainess's father was thinking, arranging a so-called fiancé for her and needlessly making trouble when he should be focusing on keeping the hero's father in check. With the way he was doing things now, was it any wonder that the White Deer had ended up going bankrupt under the Black Tiger's machinations in the original timeline, despite at one point having been stronger? Regardless, even if he had been a capable businessman, she would still not have any intentions of…

Shortly after Randy left, the phone on Mr. White's desk rang, and he felt a headache, knowing what was coming. Still, he could only pick it up with a tired sigh. "Hello, dear." The voice on the other end was clearly annoyed. "You really went through with that husband grooming plan of yours?" Mr. White grunted. "Don't call it that, dear, I'm doing this for our daughter's safety and future—" His wife interrupted him with an exasperated sigh. "Haah… this is so stupid, though. Didn't you…

Randy did not know when he got knocked out, but when he came to, he was already seated across a large, luxurious office desk, facing a middle-aged businessman. Going by the manner in which he had been brought here, as well as the apparent status of the man in front him, Randy would have assumed that he was the Black Tiger Corporation's head, had he not already known who he actually was. Compared to Mr. Black, who did not bother with many interviews and public relation events, the leader of the White…
-
The incident of Amos's injury couldn't be made public without exposing to even more scrutiny. In the end, Mr. Black had no choice but to try to forcibly suppress everything to the best of his ability. Although the Black Tiger corporation was quite formidable, with Emilia's father and sister doing their best to counter his moves at any cost, it was impossible for him to keep suppressing this matter. In the end, combined with the hero's unexplainable absence, the issue of the two boys missing went from…
