Chapter 356 Talk With Olivia
Chapter 356 Talk With Olivia
Aengus, noticing her dawning recognition, leaned closer and spoke softly, his voice firm yet calm. "It seems you remember now. Good. Let's talk, Olivia."
Her friends looked at her, concerned. "Olivia, do you know him?" one of them asked hesitantly.
Olivia forced a smile, her voice strained. "Yes...he's...an old acquaintance."
Aengus' smile deepened, though his gaze held a commanding glint. "Shall we, then?" He gestured toward a quieter corner of the restaurant, leaving her with little choice but to comply.
Olivia followed him without a choice.
Seeing this, her female friends were stunned.
"Who is he? If I remember correctly, didn't she stop talking to boys after that trial?"
"Yes. It's my first time seeing her together with a man as well."
"Do you think she's finally dating someone?"
"Nah. From their body language, it doesn't look like it."
Aengus ignored Olivia's friends' gossip and began to interrogate Olivia for some information.
"Tell me, how much time has passed since our last encounter?" Aengus asked, the most important thing on his mind.
Olivia answered truthfully, her mind unwilling to say anything false.
"Three years have passed since, Your Excellency."
"Oh, tell me, do you know anyone named Bella and Aria in Tiamat Academy?"
"Ah... That I can't say for sure. The Academy is vast, and such names could apply to multiple people. Are you perhaps asking about your wives?"
"Obviously... Tell me if you've seen them."
Olivia replied, recalling the past. "Oh. I remember now. Two unfamiliar, beautiful women were also found among the batch of trial participants. At the time, it caused quite an uproar. They said the two women were natives of the trial world. Maybe those two women could be the key to understanding the dysfunctionality of the trial. It cut off the only way of gaining the opportunity of strength for defects, after all."
"You are fool, Aengus."
Aengus's fist clenched as he held back a tsunami of anger. It wasn't directed at anyone but himself. He shouldn't have been so careless about their identities in the Primal Realm. Surely, the records of participants existed, and Bella and Aria didn't have flawless disguise skills like he did.
After slowly strolling around the streets, Aengus returned swiftly to his residence.
Lying in bed, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tried. The weight of unresolved concerns lingered in his mind.
The night passed uneventfully, filled with contemplation, as he awaited a new day and new opportunities.

In the morning, as Aengus prepared to go to his assigned class, a sudden knock came at the main door.
Opening it, he found an elderly man standing with two strikingly beautiful women, one dressed as a maid and the other as a cook, both in impeccable uniforms.
The old man stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Master, we are your servants assigned by the Academy. If you don't mind, we would like to start working from today."
Aengus frowned, clearly annoyed. He disliked having prying eyes around his personal space.
"Can I reject?" he asked bluntly, his tone leaving no room for pretenses.
The old Butler looked regretful. "Ah, I am afraid it's not possible, master. But if you insist you can talk with our superiors. But if you reject us now we have suffer a bit," He added sorrowfully.
But Aengus wasn't buying none of it as he already seen how their real occupations are. They are spies to keep en eye on theit favourite 'students'.
Any other common person would have jump in joy after receiving this treatment, and wouldn't consider the their secrets being leaked.
"Okay, go in. But never set foot in my room without any permission, or else You're dead."
Aengus, annoyed, let them in for now.
Seeing Aengus leaving, the butler quickly stepped beside him.
"What now?" Aengus asked, mildly irritated.
"Master, you must be new here. Allow me to guide you to your class," the old butler offered, his voice calm and respectful.
Aengus studied him for a moment before nodding. Finding no immediate problem with the offer, he decided to accept.
"Alright," Aengus said nonchalantly.
"After you, Master," the old butler replied, respectfully falling in step beside him while maintaining a cautious distance, ensuring not to intrude upon Aengus's space.
