Chapter 23: Mid-door sniping matchup.jpg

The visitor had waist-long black hair, captivating purple eyes gleaming within—Phyllis recognized her identity almost instantly—

Papal saintess, Claire.

“What are you here for?”

Her good mood vanished, Phyllis coldly stared at the girl outside, no intent to let her in.

She would not let this woman touch Aaliyah again.

“Ara~ Isn’t this the narrow-minded violent girl who resorts to fists at a word~”

Seemingly unaffected by Phyllis’s attitude, Claire’s smile remained, words making Phyllis’s face darker:

“Good morning~ Did you take good care of Master today? Or got disliked by Master again?”

“Answer the question, don’t want to repeat.”

Phyllis’s face shifted, word by word: “Miss Claire, this is my princess’s apartment, why exactly are you here?”

“Hehehe… Phyllis classmate sure jokes.”

Claire covered mouth, smile adding sarcasm: “As fellow academy students, caring on way to class is normal, right?”

This choked Phyllis.

Starfall students usually divided into two.

One: pure magic for combat and life, standard mages.

Other: complex, combine with swordsmanship etc., magic as minor.

Clearly, frail but magic-strong Aaliyah former, sword-major magisword Phyllis latter.

Claire, studying holy light from young, naturally with Aaliyah in mage line, same education, classroom, classmates no issue.

“Moreover, my matters with Master, public or private, no need report to you?”

Seeing Phyllis stunned, Claire teased the speechless girl, already victorious.

Phyllis still glared defiantly.

To her, all Aaliyah’s doing, turning saintess into eat.female again.

As revenge part, she obligated save confused Claire.

“As Papal saintess, saying ‘Master’—don’t you think… too shameless? Or saintess actually delusional wave girl, daily fantasizing my princess’s favor?”

“Hehehe… Phyllis classmate is the one sunk in fantasy?”

Cheeks peach flush, Claire hugged arms, voice pity: “Please stop ‘my princess’~”

“What do you mean?”

Phyllis even impulsed to spill Aaliyah’s hypnotized words, shut this woman up.

But hypnosis can’t expose, only cold reply.

“After all, unlike some, can only numb self with words, cry in room every night~?”

Claire said, fair hand on full chest, like reminiscing beauty: “I heart-connected with Master, already honest phase…”

Few afford luxury apartments, plus early class rush, corridor empty, no passersby.

But Claire daring speak blunt still shocked Phyllis, cheeks burning.

Shameless, shameless…

Last night she did spend stormy time with Aaliyah.

But just revenge for last life seduction fall, merely used Aaliyah as vent tool, not heart-connected lover!

Now saintess says this publicly…

Aaliyah, you deserve death!

Inwardly knifed Aaliyah countless times, Phyllis deep breath, try calm.

About to argue more, wake saintess a bit.

But heard behind room, quite urgent footsteps—

“Phi sauce Phi sauce? Just opening door, why so long unfinished, hurry or really late…”

Emerging: one hand small canvas bag each, just packed ready out Aaliyah.

Following sound, Aaliyah tilted head, directly met eyes with smiling Claire outside.

Brain buzzed, nearly unsteady.

Mouth arc instant stiff, twitched, forced smile:

“Haha, saintess Highness good morning.”

“Master good morning! Claire super super missed you… can’t hold, want class with fragrant soft Master~”

Finally seeing longed person, Claire eyes lit, waved to hug, but coldly blocked by Phyllis.

“Little Ai, step back.” Her tone heavy, “Saintess Highness crazy.”

“Hehehe… whether I crazy, not up to you~”

Shrugged snow-white shoulders, Claire affectionate eyes direct on Aaliyah:

“Master~ How about move live with Claire~ My little gray cat super good backflips~”

Phyllis also turned, stared at the person, spat two short words.

“Little Ai?”

Eyes gloom undeniable.

“Ah… this…”

Haha, Aaliyah feigned calm smile.

Inward already gray.

Sigh… worst thing, still happened?

As guessed, Claire might late, but never absent.

Not only enrolled, classmate, directly doorstep…

She won’t be chopped half by these equal guys?

Thinking possibility, Aaliyah chilled.

But… aside long-term, now what?!

Stared by two burning gazes like criminal, Aaliyah numb.

If world wants her dead, just let evil god descend kill all, not let these two torture alternately!

“Ding ding ding!”

In Aaliyah’s perilous moment, sudden class bell became savior.

She never thought bell so pleasant.

“Tch…”

Both unhappy with sudden bell.

But considering student status, faces eased.

Glared each other hard, then each grabbed bag, left right sandwiched Aaliyah, dashed to classroom.
