Summoned and Unwanted

Chapter 467

467 Visiting the headmaster’s office for the commotion caused

“You look more bright and less nervous now. Did you regain some of your lost confidence back?” Vincent had noticed how Lilith was acting less reserved than before.

Vincent felt Lilith could finally come out of her shell as what happened to Ester. After accepting that she was wanted because of her chest inferiority, she became a dependable woman.

Lilith leaned her head on Vincent’s shoulder and answered, “Yes. I think so.”

After a while of silence and peaceful quiet, Lilith explained what transpired on her Sunday.

Lilith chuckled when mentioning how her parents stared at her like frozen statues. As if their daughter found a look-alike and decided to prank her parents.

After telling her parents things that only Lilith could know, which are a little embarrassing and not to be said to strangers, Leonis and Teresa hugged Lilith. They cried tears of joy when seeing their daughter as if she had returned to the past before her nightmare started.

Lilith didn’t go into detail since she had an ordinary day. Lilith only mentioned how she lied to her parents.

Lilith didn’t want to cause unnecessary worry to her parents when she had already seen how worried everyone in her home became.

Lilith believed her parents would become more worried. She decided to tell them how Vincent bought her many slimming potions with the magic cores he had saved and the points from the test.

.....

Lilith explained how she asked Maid Xu not to reveal this big surprise as well.

Fortunately, they believed their daughter because she didn’t go out of the academy when the test was abruptly stopped two weeks ago, and last week, her parents were busy and couldn’t visit. This was the third week, thus three weeks of potion chugging and dieting.

Lilith later summarised in a single sentence, “My family and I feel as if we went ten years back in time.”

*Day 133 – 19 October – Monday*

Monday morning arrived. Vincent explained to Iris about Zero’s change. Because of what happened, he had a lot of things on his mind. Giving Zero a seed of a seed Guardian wasn’t that urgent.

Iris’s mesmerizing purple eyes glistened with interest and curiosity. After Zero grew a Rainbow Pear, Iris wanted to try feeding it something different next time.

The thought of Zero growing a human-like body like a Seed Guardian caused her to make her dream come true. To have the first plant with intelligence be her friend. A friend that no one can call her crazy for talking to plants.

Vincent and Lilith later left for the headmaster’s office.

Lilith felt more gazes on her than usual. She held Vincent’s hand and nervously followed him. The more she peeked at the students looking at them, the more she could hear.

“Who is that beauty? I have never seen her before, but isn’t she walking with that Lionheart dude? The one who won the cheating eating contest and the cause of many students fainting?”

“Yeah. But why isn’t he walking with that pi... I mean, his large wife? Is he cheating on her, or is this beauty his side chick?”

“Are you blind? The beauty is wearing glasses, has golden hair, and I believe I saw the same family insignia. ”

“You mean she is the same person?”

The male students became enchanted by Lilith’s beauty, while the female students started to get jealous of her beauty. Some even started calling her a whore to make themselves feel better.

“How about we put on a show, my lady?” Vincent whispered.

Kazumi giggled as if she knew what was in Vincent’s mind, while Lilith’s mind turned blank.

Vincent stopped and pulled Lilith onto him. He passionately kissed Lilith in front of a large crowd of students heading to their class. Many opened their eyes wide from surprise, while others frowned from jealousy.

“I love you, my charming wife Lilith Lionheart. Slimming potions are really magical. ” Vincent announced it was Lilith and not a side chick. He looked at their audience and smirked. He held Lilith’s hand again and headed to the headmaster’s office.

It took about a minute for the students to return to their senses. Later, a new rumor spread about one of the past top five beauties returning. Furthermore, slimming potions could only be preordered with a long line waiting from that day onwards.

When Vincent and Lilith walked into an empty hallway, they stopped.

“How do you feel now that the students are looking at you with different thoughts? My famous pretty Lilith?” Vincent asked.

Lilith’s cheeks were red. She blushed after realizing how the male students were possibly thinking perverted thoughts about her instead of mocking her body. It meant Lilith changed enough for her past self to stop weighing her down and for people to stop mocking her.

Lilith became a new woman because of Vincent, with a bright future ahead of her. Now she is reborn entirely after the slimming potion ordeal.

Lilith hugged Vincent and whispered seductively, “My dear. You better keep me by your side now.”

[...]

“...”

‘Why does it feel like Lilith is acting more sly and seductive now? ‘ Both Vincent and Kazumi thought after a pause.

Lilith tugged Vincent’s hand. “Let’s go.” *Wink*

*Academy Headmaster’s Office*

Darwin was signing documents. He sighed a lot because he was swamped with complaints and reports of what happened yesterday.

‘Leonis, my friend. You brought a beast to your family, and that beast protected your daughter as his top priority and saved my daughter last week. It might be a blessing in disguise for you. But for me...’ *Sigh*

‘Vincent Lionheart mostly brings me trouble. If you knew how much I had to lie to say how Vincent didn’t cheat in the food-eating contest after many students lost their bets.’

‘The other time, I had to instruct his teachers to start a rumor about how Vincent used badly made scrolls to show off when the incident in the training grounds happened.’

‘Yesterday was another start of a large workload for me. He used his strong intent on students who can only resist a certain amount of intent, but he had to use domination intent and made many faint...’

*Sigh* Darwin placed his elbows on the desk and massaged his temple because he was starting to have a headache thinking about his.

*Knock, Knock*

“You may enter. ” Darwin said after composing himself and rearranging the desk to look tidy.

Vincent and Lilith entered the office.

Lilith didn’t show much of a surprise since she was surprised to see how luxurious the office was. But for Vincent and Kazumi, it was a different story. To them, the office introduced itself as a high-ranked noble’s office.

The office had a few file cabinets with documents stored in lines. It gave the impression of a professional filing system. Additionally, anything made from wood, such as the headmaster’s desk and the visitor’s chairs, were luxurious.

On the walls were a couple of paintings about the different views of Paradise Island. Kazumi noticed a similarity to the artist who drew Vincent sitting on a chair surrounded by his wives.

“Please sit.” Darwin offered when he saw Lilith nervously glancing at Vincent while Vincent was still observing the office.

After Vincent and Lilith took a seat, Darwin quickly commented how fortunate Lilith was to be alive and healthy. He continued how a few certain potions become dangerous after they expire.

A stat-boosting potion would make the user feel weak for some time or a few days. But potions that cause a drastic change become dangerous as the side effect could become life-threatening.

Darwin mentioned how when his grandfather was the headmaster of the academy. A student died from drinking an expired potion. However, Darwin didn’t mention what kind of potion it was.

“Honey and the alchemist Eros will provide an adequate apology gift for the danger the potion has brought to the Lionheart family.” Darwin looked at Lilith and continued, “I heard how a minor healing scroll was used from my student Maria, and the Druid Iris made herbal drinks to assist in your recovery. Lilith, you are blessed with good company.”

“Thank you, Headmaster Darwin. But could you please not inform my parents about what happened to me. I don’t want to cause worry to my parents, so I told them that I slimmed down in three weeks yesterday.” Lilith requested.

Darwin understood Lilith’s intention after knowing how much the family had suffered. He nodded and agreed to remain tight-lipped.

Darwin also felt envious of Leonis’s daughter because she cared for her parent’s well-being, unlike his troublesome daughter.

The next subject was about yesterday. The students who fainted are fine, and these that are still feeling weak were allowed to have them today without lessons. As for the few villagers, they recovered without any problems.

However, the way Darwin was a little bit strange, Vincent and Kazumi noticed. Darwin explained how the audience was fine. As if Vincent’s Lion’s Roar caused harm to someone.

*Sigh* Darwin massaged his temple after a sigh as proficient as Maria’s sigh. He looked at Vincent and said, “Reports call what you did as the roar of a demonic beast or the roar of a monster. Others became creative and used your family’s name. They called it the Lion’s Roar. A roar made by a lion to protect his lioness.”

[That is an interesting name. But I would have called it “The roar of the heavens command obedience.”]

“Lion’s Roar...” Vincent stopped and cleared his throat. “Ahem, I mean, how much trouble am I in for showing how I am not a pushover when it involves my family and friends.”
