Rumors stop with the wise, but most people only believe what they want to believe.
Isn’t that right?
So just when Adele thought her “borrowing tiger skin” plan was a great success, she didn’t realize the huge wave she and Dorothy had stirred up in the academy with their stroll.
The first to come knocking was the student council’s Disciplinary Committee, known for their “Schrödinger’s efficiency.”
It was called “Schrödinger’s efficiency” because when it came to disputes involving human students, they could always arrive at the scene quickly and handle things fairly.
But when it came to disputes between vampire students, often, the parties involved had already resolved the conflict and disappeared by the time they arrived.
Double standards, blatant double standards!
But this time, in Adele’s case, the Disciplinary Committee showed unimaginable efficiency and speed.
Let’s just say that the student council’s “horse” in the hearts of vampire students was resurrected for a day!
Perhaps it was because Dorothy’s actions were too outrageous, even the student council couldn’t stand it anymore. They felt that her publicly training a girl in broad daylight was…
That’s why they were mobilized so quickly this time.
“Dorothy, the student council can no longer tolerate your cruel rule over the vampire students. Please…”
When they rushed to the cafeteria, ready to righteously denounce Dorothy’s evil deeds, the scene before them made them all dumbfounded.
The location was the cafeteria, that was right.
The suspect, Dorothy, and the victim, Adele, were both too recognizable, having long occupied the top spots on Cromwell Academy’s school beauty rankings, so it was impossible to mistake them.
But their behavior… was a bit off, wasn’t it!
It should have been a scene that would make people blush.
For example, Dorothy arrogantly crossing her legs, holding a leash connected to a collar, pulling it gently, and Adele, kneeling in front of her, having to lean forward, then being ordered to lick her feet or eat on the ground like a dog…
However, the reality was that both Dorothy and Adele were sitting properly at their seats in the cafeteria.
In front of Dorothy was a black pepper steak, side dishes, and a glass of milk, while in front of Adele was a collection of snacks, Orleans grilled wings, chicken nuggets, fries, and a happy meal combo.
Not only was it a very normal scene, but Dorothy didn’t even care or panic when she noticed the arrival of the student council.
Instead, she used her silver fork to pick up a small piece of tender steak, dipped it in black pepper sauce, and while it was still steaming hot, fed it to Adele in front of her, ignoring everyone else.
Adele was the one who was stunned.
But when the aroma of the steak hit her, she honestly and quickly took a bite.
“Do you… nom nom need something? nom nom”
“Gulp! “
But she seemed to have eaten too quickly and choked a little, so Adele hurriedly picked up her iced cola and gulped it down.
The wonderful carbonation exploded in her throat, instantly giving her the supreme feeling of “coming back to life.”
“Slow down.”
Dorothy said with a hint of concern.
It sounded like Dorothy was still not used to using a gentle tone.
But this made Adele see her determination to change.
So Adele’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Yes, I know.”
If Dorothy could turn over a new leaf in time, it would be a good thing for Adele.
Because she had deeply realized that this world wouldn’t necessarily follow the predetermined future of the original novel.
Perhaps Adele was the one who would change the world.
And Dorothy didn’t necessarily have to become the future villain, and she didn’t have to fight her to the death.
Thinking from this perspective, being able to pull Dorothy into her camp in advance was definitely a good thing for Adele.
As long as Dorothy didn’t stop her from cuddling with other girls!
You can’t be too greedy.
If I like a flower, I don’t necessarily have to pick it; if I like the wind, I don’t have to ask the wind to stop and let me smell it; if I like clouds, I don’t have to ask the clouds to float down and cover me.
Of course, when Adele said this, she had automatically excluded herself.
The nature of humans is to be hypocritical, that was definitely true!
The student council members, who had personally witnessed Dorothy feeding Adele, all looked embarrassed.
So it was all a misunderstanding from beginning to end?
Rumors were harmful… At this moment, they all regretted it. It was better not to get involved in matters they didn’t understand about vampires.
After all, the student council was the type to make more mistakes the more they did when it came to vampires.
And naturally, they would make fewer mistakes if they did less.
This was one of the reasons why they were passive in handling incidents caused by vampire students.
Although they also wanted to bring vampires under the normal management of the student council, because of the Vampire Autonomy Agreement, most of the academy’s teachers and student council members chose to avoid this muddy water and let the vampires form their own hierarchy.
Only when the high-ranking vampire students went too far would righteous humans intervene.
But often, they could only solve the problem temporarily, and the punishments for high-ranking vampire students were often insignificant.
“…We’re very sorry, we came here rashly without understanding the truth and caused you trouble.”
The leader of the Disciplinary Committee, a beautiful senior with long hair, bowed to Adele and Dorothy in apology.
Although she was also confused about why Adele, a low-ranking vampire, could get along so well with Dorothy, a high-ranking vampire, when not long ago, their relationship was…
But in the current situation, wasn’t the student council already embarrassed enough?
So she wouldn’t ask this question now.
“The truth?”
Adele tilted her head, looking confused.
Dorothy, on the other hand, was indifferent to all this, as if she only saw the student council members beside her as buzzing insects.
At first, she would tolerate them indifferently, but if they continued to pester her, Dorothy would probably show her true, nasty self that she had been hiding in front of Adele.
She was a villainous girl, she always had been.
It was just that Adele was no longer as submissive as she used to be, so Dorothy had to change accordingly.
This was a very strange and novel experience for Dorothy.
Eating in the cafeteria like this, being watched by others… Dorothy instinctively wanted to make these “insects” close their eyes and mouths.
But that would probably disappoint Adele.
“N-nothing, please continue enjoying your lunch, Miss Adele.”
With that, the student council members retreated.
They seemed to think that only Adele was someone they could communicate with.
As for Dorothy, although she was of noble status, most humans didn’t buy it, so they naturally ignored her.
Adele had a dazed expression on her face.
She thought that maybe she should check the forum.
Information circulated quickly there, and there were new hot posts every day. Adele had also seen several hot posts about herself.
There was even fanfiction!
Something like “Delicate Little Pet and Domineering Blood Noble.”
Currently, the composition of the lesbians on the forum was very complex.
There were those who shipped “Adele and Dorothy.” This was the mainstream, after all, Dorothy had previously declared her ownership of Adele so forcefully in front of everyone, and with her status as a Vampire Princess, she had gained such high popularity.
Most of them were training stories, because it was often Dorothy as the dominant one and Adele as the submissive one, so it wasn’t Adele’s cup of tea.
Therefore, Adele rarely clicked on related articles, often just skimming past them.
There were those who shipped “Adele and Hermione.” Adele herself enjoyed reading these, especially a story called “Stormy Night” written by an unknown netizen.
“On a stormy night, the strongest Sequence Five, Adele, conquered Hermione, the most noble and cold Ice Queen of the academy, sending her to cloud nine…”
It made Adele want to meet the author of this fanfiction. They really had good taste, recognizing Adele’s dominant identity early on.
It was just the “crying while topping” part that made Adele feel a little helpless.
Why did everyone write her as so delicate, even when she was the top, she was still delicate and soft.
Apart from these two mainstream pairings, the rest of the CPs were very unpopular.
Even bizarre.
For example, the recently emerged “Adele x Black Feather Society President.”
Tsk, who had such bad taste to pair her with Edith?
When Adele had free time, she would definitely show off her skills on the forum.
As for the series name, it would be called – “Conquering the Heavens!”
“Protagonist: Adele”
“Chapter 1: The Power of Topping, Three Stages!”
Since this world hadn’t been exposed to traditional fantasy web novels, Adele would surely become a god with this book!
While lost in thought, Adele had already logged onto the forum.
The title of the top hot post did indeed have her name.
But the content… made Adele twitch her lips.
This was slander!
She was clearly the one walking Dorothy, how did the style change so drastically and head in such a strange direction?
Someone even drew a fanart of Dorothy walking Adele on a leash.
Vampires were all artists!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much fanfiction about Adele on the forum.
“Slander, this is all slander!”
“I’m going to find Lige and use her privileges to delete these posts!”
That was assuming Li Lige’s administrator account hadn’t been deleted yet.
Otherwise, Adele would be in trouble.
After all, all the forum administrators were, without exception, members of the human student council and teachers.
But what made Adele even more frustrated was yet to come.
When a cold wind suddenly blew from the sky, everyone shivered subconsciously.
At the entrance of the school cafeteria, the Ice Queen with long silver-blue hair walked in step by step, her footsteps accompanied by ice and snow.
Dorothy sensed her arrival much earlier than Adele, but she remained calm and composed.
As if she wasn’t worried about the challenge from the “loser” at all.
As for Adele, the cold wind bypassed her, but with her keen senses, she quickly noticed Hermione’s presence.
“H-Hermione!?”
Of course she could imagine Hermione’s reaction to that rumor.
But she just didn’t expect her to come so quickly.
“It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
Adele desperately tried to explain.
But Dorothy smiled arrogantly and asked from afar,
“Are you here to be the third wheel on my date with Adele, Hermione?”
“That’s indeed a fitting position for a loser like you.”
Adele’s mind exploded.
So… why are you adding fuel to the fire!
