Chapter 23: With no women in my heart, I draw my sword naturally like a god!

On the road, a few people approached.

At the forefront was a blonde nobleman, and his lackey was whispering something in his ear.

Leo brushed past them, and before he could distance himself by ten meters, he heard a voice from behind.

“Stop!”

The blonde nobleman turned and stared at Leo.

Leo remained unmoved and continued walking.

“You must be Leo, stop right there!”

It was clear that the blonde man was somewhat angry.

“Go stop him!”

Seeing that Leo had not responded, the blonde man ordered a few lackeys to step forward and block him, and soon, Leo was surrounded by several people.

“Do you know who he is? How dare you act like this.”

“Who is he?”

“A commoner is just a commoner, but he is the third prince of the empire, Lord Corik!”

“So what? What does the prince want with a commoner like me?”

Seeing Leo’s indifferent demeanor, the lackeys were somewhat surprised. Generally, commoners would be anxious when facing royalty, but he showed no unusual reaction.

The lackeys scoffed inwardly, thinking that perhaps he was just pretending to be calm, and that he would soon reveal his true feelings. They had seen this kind of person before.

Leo felt somewhat speechless; he seemed to have attracted unwanted attention, but he didn’t think he had offended anyone.

Oh, he almost forgot; he had taught Yuris a lesson on the dueling platform. However, after spending some time together, Yuris didn’t seem to hold a grudge and didn’t appear to be the type to seek revenge.

Perhaps it was someone else who had a good relationship with Yuris standing up for him.

In a short time, Leo had his suspicions.

“Leo from Class A in the East Courtyard, you are in the same class as Caroline, right?”

The third prince Corik said.

“That’s right.”

So it was Caroline; this was unexpected. Trouble related to the protagonist had come knocking.

“I heard that you made Caroline cry on the first day of school. Is that true?” The third prince was clearly not friendly.

“Although it relates to me, I didn’t make her cry. I can only say that she is too emotionally fragile.”

“Hmph! Don’t give me that nonsense. Caroline is too kind; she doesn’t want to hold it against you, so I won’t make things difficult for you. Just a piece of advice: don’t get close to Caroline. You are not from the same world.”

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. In the class, you and Caroline are the only commoners. You feel inferior because of this and seek a sense of superiority from Caroline, who is also a commoner. Let me tell you, Caroline is not someone you can bully at will; she is far superior to you and is destined to become a pillar of the empire, while you will only be a baron at most after graduation. You are from two different worlds.”

“You are right; we are from two different worlds.”

Leo smiled softly. He and Caroline were indeed from two different worlds because he didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

The third prince’s behavior seemed somewhat amusing to him. Young and impulsive, standing up for a girl he likes?

This made things much simpler. The third prince was only giving a verbal warning, and after this incident, he wouldn’t trouble him again. He would just treat him like a stone on the roadside and ignore him.

Leo could also smoothly get through his academy life.

As for Caroline, she was indeed the protagonist, and now she had a connection with the third prince. Although he didn’t know what was going on, as long as he didn’t get involved with her again, that would be fine.

“You know this is good; otherwise, it wouldn’t be just a simple warning.”

After saying this, the third prince left with his lackeys.

The experience just now felt like a play, and Leo was in a good mood because he had already exited the stage. He just needed to quietly watch the performance of the protagonists, which was also a kind of fun in academy life.

He arrived at the classroom and directly sat in his seat.

The timing was perfect; it was just the end of class, and he quietly waited for the next lesson.

It was better not to skip classes if possible, as a lot of what the teacher taught was important.

“What is this?”

Leo pulled out a letter from his desk.

A pink envelope, sealed with wax at the opening, with unfamiliar patterns printed on it.

A love letter!?

Like being struck by lightning, Leo was momentarily stunned, taking a long time to regain his senses.

No way! How could someone send him a love letter?

It must be fake.

A prank?

Very likely.

Calming down, Leo became much more rational.

His earlier reaction was understandable; after all, he had never encountered such a thing before.

Even if it were real, it could be a punishment game.

Stay calm!

Romantic comedies are the kind of plots that only protagonists have; how could they happen to him?

But his trembling hands indicated that he was not at peace.

Slowly opening it, he found pink stationery inside, with a line of elegant handwriting. It was clear that it was written by a girl, and the words revealed her youthful feelings.

At the age of first love, the girl entrusted her feelings to the letter, and the small envelope became a bridge of love.

Under the big tree, sunlight shone on the girl’s delicate face, her cheeks flushed with shyness as she gathered the courage to confess to the boy in her heart.

The boy also liked the girl, responding awkwardly, and they shared their first kiss.

Stop!

Everything just now was a fantasy!

Is this the power of love? So scary, he almost fell for it.

Leo’s heart raced as he read the contents of the letter.

The letter said:

“I have a thousand words to say, but I don’t know how to express them. I want to tell you in person. Can you come to the forest behind the North Campus teaching building after school? I have something very important to tell you. Please be sure to come!”

Is it a love letter?

No way!

There was no signature, so he didn’t know who wrote it.

And it might not even be for him; it could have been placed in the wrong spot.

If he asked people in the class, he might be laughed at.

Perhaps behind the North Campus teaching building, a crowd was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, ready to burst out laughing when he arrived.

Given the personalities of the nobles in the class, such a thing was very likely to happen.

In this situation, the best choice was not to go.

But if it were real, would the girl who wrote the letter wait for him if she saw he didn’t come?

What a dilemma!

Leo had never been so conflicted before.

To go or not to go?

After thinking it over, he still had no conclusion.

“Forget it, let’s go to class first and think about it later.”

The class bell rang, and the teacher walked in, starting the lesson.

Noon passed, and there was only one practical class in the afternoon.

The closer it got to the end of school, the more Leo’s heart wavered.

If he was going, then he was going; who was afraid of whom!

Leo steeled himself; it was no good to keep hesitating.

He could first stand at a distance to observe. Even if it was a trap, he had ways to deal with it.

With his scouting ability, no one could hide within a hundred meters of him.

He would retreat at the first sign of trouble.

If it weren’t for particularly beautiful girls, he wouldn’t be attracted to them and wouldn’t embarrass himself.

And besides, how could anyone be more beautiful than Michelle?

If they didn’t reach Michelle’s level, they shouldn’t think of tempting him.

With no women in my heart, I draw my sword naturally like a god!

Having made up his mind, Leo strode confidently to the location mentioned in the letter.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a beautiful figure standing in the distance.

It seemed she had been waiting for a long time.
