Chapter 115 - If you have any questions, please contact Mirexia
However, the problem was that even if she could put aside her pride and shame to imitate Selena, she didn't have the means to do so! Where would she find such an outfit? She only had the set of [Armoured Fortress] that came with her, and no other clothes to cover herself with!
She couldn't wear the male attire; it would rip apart.
Vanessa sat on the edge of the bed, feeling utterly stumped, unsure of what to do next.
If she were to sneak out, she would have nowhere to go but to loiter around her home, and loitering would inevitably lead to encountering Shikondell.
Ė n̄ ǔmа̃
Vanessa pondered how to resolve her current predicament. Fortunately, Shikondell knocked a few times on the door, assuming she had misheard earlier. Perhaps it was the old furniture in Winnie's house making noises that she mistook for Winnie getting up. In reality, Winnie hadn't woken up, so she stopped knocking, tiptoed, and went downstairs as quietly as possible.
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered the signal scroll Mirexia had given her last night, which she thought she wouldn't need.

That's right, why not ask Mirexia for help?
So, Vanessa took out the scroll Mirexia had given her last night. There was nothing else in her room, but thankfully, she still had half a bottle of ink and a quill.
She slightly dipped the quill in ink, unrolled and activated the magic scroll, and wrote a line of neat, elegant, and exquisite script with the quill.
'To Mirexia, I sincerely apologize for disturbing your rest on this early morning of the holiday. This is truly a last resort. As for the reason, please allow me to explain in detail. Because last night I absorbed the notes of Saint Elusa...'
Ẁеb̄n̈о̆v̂ êľ Е ǹ ǔ m̈ а
On the signal scroll, Vanessa briefly summarised what had happened last night to Mirexia, stating her current predicament and hoping for her help. Even when asking Mirexia for help via the signal scroll, Vanessa made it sound like writing a noble's invitation letter, filled with respectful language and pleasantries.
Vanessa didn't know why, but as soon as she picked up the paper and pen, these words flowed out naturally. Since she had already started writing, as long as the meaning was conveyed, it was fine.
Now, she just had to wait for Mirexia to receive the message. If Mirexia was still asleep and didn't unroll the scroll, she wouldn't receive it.
Vanessa could only pray that Mirexia was already awake and would soon notice the abnormality of the signal scroll.

However, based on Vanessa's understanding of Mirexia, the princess, who was a workaholic, would definitely not oversleep even on holidays. She will still insist on early morning exercises, training, and studying, and then handle state affairs.
While at the academy, she handled council student matters, and even during the long holiday, she couldn't rest and had to continue dealing with state affairs, multitasking like that.

Hearing about such a life made Vanessa's forehead ache, and she truly wondered how Mirexia could endure and adapt to it for so many years.
To Vanessa's delight, less than a second after she activated the signal scroll, she received a response from Mirexia, who held the same signal scroll.
Vanessa had written a long passage, like a solemn and formal banquet invitation, while Mirexia's reply was concise, just one sentence.
'Okay, I'll be right there.'
With the reply, Vanessa felt a sense of relief. Although Mirexia's response was brief, it was like a reassurance, giving her a sense of security.
Meanwhile, in the royal palace, Mirexia, who always carried the signal scroll with her and kept it on her desk while working, naturally noticed the scroll's reaction immediately.

When she thought Winnie had encountered some unforeseen situation and quickly opened the scroll, she breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing a line of text appear.
The fact that it could still be written on meant that the trouble Winnie was facing was not an emergency.
Upon seeing the handwriting on the scroll, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, as it was clearly not Winnie's handwriting. It looked more like Vanessa's. She had seen Winnie's handwriting before; it was a bit too rough and unrefined.
After reading the contents of the signal scroll, Mirexia understood the cause and effect. She started moving towards Winnie's place while contemplating a plan.
Vanessa sat in her room, waiting, as time ticked by.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the living room, Shikondell also felt something strange. At this time of day, Winnie would usually be awake, but today, he hadn't shown up yet.
Е̇ nu m̊ а
Was it because of the holiday that he became lazy and was oversleeping?
Shikondell glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon, and Winnie still hadn't woken up.

Speaking of which, had she smelled a faint, familiar scent of white camellia at Winnie's room door earlier?
She hadn't paid much attention at the time.
Was it her imagination?
Just then, she suddenly heard the bell at the courtyard gate ring.
Wě b̄ n̂ ǒ.v̌ е̌.l̆ Ènuṁа
Someone had arrived.
Shikondell found it strange. According to Winnie, under normal circumstances, even if a thief broke into his house, no normal person would visit, as no one would want to associate with him.
Why was someone coming today?
Shikondell was puzzled but still went out to open the door. As she stepped out, she saw who was ringing the wind chimes outside the courtyard.

“President... Princess Mirexia??” Seeing the dazzling blonde girl with twin ponytails standing outside the rusty iron gate, the word “President” slipped out. Shikondell then remembered that this was not Carillian Academy, but the capital of the Kingdom of Camella. Calling someone “President” here was clearly inappropriate, so she quickly corrected herself.
Shikondell looked to the side. Standing next to Mirexia was a girl with shoulder-length hair, wearing the style of a Camella Royal Palace maid uniform, standing silently and respectfully beside her, seems Mirexia's personal maid.

“Yes.” Mirexia nodded, looking at Shikondell with a serious expression. “Dell, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?”
“Ah, yes, because Winnie hasn't woken up yet.” Shikondell had originally intended to cook for herself, but Winnie's house was truly as he described, so desolate that even mice wouldn't visit, and there was nothing there.
A clever cook cannot cook without ingredients. Shikondell couldn't cook, so she could only wait for Winnie to wake up.
“Yes, in fact, that's why I'm here.” Mirexia said very seriously.
“Huh? You're here for that??” Shikondell was taken aback, not understanding what Mirexia meant.
Could it be that this princess had come specifically to call her for a meal?

However, she wasn't very familiar with Princess Mirexia?
Shikondell was a bit confused, unable to figure out Mirexia's intentions, her small head filled with big question marks.
Moreover, how did Princess Mirexia know that she hadn't had breakfast at this hour?
“I'm here to take you to eat.” Mirexia nodded.
“Um, no need. Princess Mirexia, I appreciate your kindness, but Winnie is still sleeping. He might worry if he wakes up and doesn't see me.” Shikondell politely declined.
“No, Dell, Winnie is actually no longer in the house.” Mirexia stated with certainty.
Еñu̇ m̈ a
“??Ah?” Shikondell's face was filled with confusion.
“Last night, before parting ways, due to some accident, I gave Winnie a signal scroll and told him to activate it if he encountered any unexpected situations he couldn't handle. Just last midnight, that signal scroll responded. I saw it and immediately rushed over.” Mirexia explained.

To be honest, apart from the timing, she wasn't lying about anything else.
“You mean Winnie had an accident??” Shikondell's beautiful eyes clarified instantly.
“Yes, there was indeed a small accident.” Mirexia calmly looked at Shikondell.
She didn't say that the accident she was referring to was actually Shikondell.
Ê n̄ ŭḿа
“But don't worry, I arrived in time, and Winnie is not in any danger. The accident has been contained by me.” These words were also true, but Mirexia didn't mention that these events happened yesterday.
Mirexia was referring to what was happening now.
But only Shikondell was kept in the dark, believing that Winnie was truly in danger.
“Winnie was worried that you, Dell, wouldn't have anything to eat, so he asked me to take you to the royal palace. You'll be a guest at the royal palace today.” Mirexia continued.

“Princess Mirexia, could you tell me what kind of accident Winnie had??” Shikondell breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Winnie was not in any danger. The first thing she thought of when hearing about Winnie's accident was that she wouldn't have anything to eat, and she felt a surge of emotions.
'Virtue + 60.'

'Virtue + 60.'
'Current Virtue: 6104.'
At this moment, Vanessa, watching the increase in virtue in her room, got troubled.
Had something unexpected happened again?
“Regarding this, I apologize.” Mirexia obviously couldn't reveal it. Wasn't this why she came?
“This involves some very complex issues and will affect various parties. Considering its complexity and certain unpredictable consequences, I cannot disclose it to you, Dell.” Mirexia was adept at speaking vaguely without revealing any key information. She often used this tactic when meeting many nobles, and what she said was indeed true.

“Then, can I see him if I go to the royal palace?” Shikondell continued to ask.
“That, also not possible.” Mirexia shook her head. “Dell, you might not understand, but Winnie's situation is quite special. It's not appropriate to deliberately publicize such matters. Do you understand what I mean?”
The implication of these words was that this was Winnie's secret, and it was a secret he didn't want to reveal to anyone other than her, his childhood friend. Continuing to question would put Winnie in a difficult position.
“Tomorrow, when he recovers, you can ask him, but today, let him rest well.” Mirexia added.
“Okay, I understand.” Shikondell, not wanting to cause Winnie trouble, could only give up, but she couldn't help but overthink things.
Did Winnie have some rare illness?
Éń u ḿa. і̃d
And indeed, her relationship was definitely not as close as that of childhood friends.
'Virtue + 30.'

'Current Virtue: 6134.'
“I'm very glad you understand, Dell.” Mirexia nodded and looked at her personal maid beside her. “Kalin, please take my friend to the royal palace to have breakfast. Treat him as a distinguished guest, understand?”
“Yes, Your Highness Mirexia.” Kalin respectfully said to Shikondell. “Miss Dell, please follow me.”
“Ahem, Kalin, my elf classmate is a boy.” Mirexia added somewhat awkwardly.
Е ǹům а̀ . і̄ d̃
“I am very sorry, Lord Dell. I made a mistake in my judgment.” Kalin quickly corrected herself, bowing apologetically.
“Uh, it's okay. It's not the first time my gender has been mistaken.” Shikondell was also a bit embarrassed. To be honest, when she heard Kalin call her “Miss Elf,” she almost instinctively forgot to refute and followed along.
“Dell, if you have any requests, anything you want to eat or drink, just tell Kalin.” Mirexia said.
“Okay, but do we have to go now?” Shikondell looked back at the house again, feeling as if she had overlooked something important.

However, her mind was entirely occupied with the matter of “what accident Winnie had,” and she had no other thoughts to ponder.
“By the way, Princess Mirexia, you said you came last midnight, but why didn't I hear any noise?” Shikondell asked curiously.
Ẅе̌b̃ n̂ ovӗ l E ǹu ḿ а̌
“Winnie was afraid of disturbing you, so he went downstairs himself, and I was responsible for picking him up.” Mirexia said with a straight face. “Otherwise, why do you think the iron gate wasn't locked?”
Mirexia said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world. In fact, just moments ago, when Shikondell was still inside the house, Mirexia, who had reached the door, didn't rush to ring the wind chimes. Instead, she lightly punched the old and insecure lock on the iron gate, knocked it off, quietly handed it to Kalin, told her to hide it, and then rang the wind chimes.
That's right.
Shikondell then realized that she had clearly seen Winnie lock the iron gate last night, but when she went to open the door just now, the lock was gone.
It seemed… there was no problem?
Kalin stood beside her with an unchanged expression, as if the lock Mirexia mentioned wasn't in her skirt pocket at all.

“Winnie was moved to the royal palace as early as last midnight, so you should hurry too.” Mirexia urged. “I came back partly to inform you, and partly to pick up something Winnie asked me to get for him.”
“Oh, okay.” Shikondell wanted to ask what Winnie wanted her to get, but considering these were Winnie's secrets, she didn't ask. As she walked towards Kalin, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around suddenly.
“Um, Princess Mirexia, isn't something a bit off? If I remember correctly, when I went to Winnie's room door this morning and knocked, the door seemed to be locked from the inside??” Shikondell finally realized what was strange.
“How could that be?” Mirexia's expression didn't change at all upon hearing this. She looked as if to say, “Dell, are you sure you're awake?” “Dell, this might be your first time here, but you might not know that many of Winnie's household appliances are very old, including the doors. When they are closed, they often get stuck and take a while to open after shaking.”
“At that time, you probably didn't push hard enough. If you had pushed hard, the door would have been opened.” Mirexia guessed that Shikondell, who had gone to wake Winnie up, most likely hadn't pushed the door.
“Hmm…” Shikondell was speechless.
Е n̄ u m а
It seemed plausible?
Thus, Shikondell was deceived.

It wasn't that Mirexia's acting skills were that good; it was purely taking advantage of the opponent's low emotional intelligence. If it were Aesphyra, a seasoned veteran actor and old fox, she would have seen through Mirexia's subtle changes in expression and some unnatural acting at a glance.
But who was being deceived? It was Shikondell, a naive girl who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and had little experience with the world.
Even though she felt something was missing, she couldn't pinpoint it. She truly believed Winnie was at the royal palace and foolishly followed Kalin.
After seeing Kalin and Shikondell walk away, Mirexia breathed a sigh of relief and entered the courtyard, pushing open the door.
Е̂ nu m̂ а̇. і̌.d
She had been to Winnie's house before, but that was a long, long time ago.
