or Tarnished?_3 The Dean in front of him made Leon feel as though he had returned to a feudal society outside, where class distinctions were clear.
Leon stood up and returned the courtesy to the chubby Dean, then asked about the purpose of his visit.
The chubby Dean immediately put on a flattering expression and invited, “Sir, would you have the time to meet the students of the Royal University?
Many here have heard of your legendary experiences in the South.
Quite a few scholars admire a hero like you greatly, and we just learned of your sudden visit.
Many people are eager to meet and discuss your heroic deeds.” With a flattering face, the chubby Dean invited.
Leon understood that the other party seemed to be inviting him to participate in an event similar to a campus meet-and-greet from his previous life.
Tsk tsk, who would have thought that I have a fan group at the Royal University…
Leon couldn’t help but smile.
This is certainly a huge gain; if my reputation is so high in the eyes of the kingdom’s scholars, doesn’t that mean the chances of bringing people back to Avalon will increase in the future?
Upon hearing the conversation, Olivia lifted her gaze from the pages of the book she was holding, looking towards Leon.
Leon, however, waved at her, whispering, “You continue reading here, I’ll go have a look and be back soon.”
After speaking, just in case, he also left Kovis in the library.
It wasn’t for Kovis to protect Olivia.
Olivia was the most capable among them; she was their bodyguard.
However, Kovis, who is outwardly declared as Olivia’s distant cousin, serves as the perfect cover to protect his wife’s true identity as long as he exists alongside Olivia.
As the last descendant of the golden-haired, golden-eyed Villania Royal Family, of the Allen Del Family’s bloodline, it makes it easy for Olivia, who maintains golden eyes, to dissociate from being linked to the Drakemar Family by outsiders.
This meticulous story has even fooled Ines, making it unlikely for it to easily arouse general suspicion.
After instructing the two to wait for his return, Leon followed the chubby Dean out of the library.
On their way to the fortress-like academy building not far away, they chatted casually about the history and culture of the Royal University, amicably arriving at the teaching hall prepared by the other party.
The semicircular tiered seating surrounded the podium at the front of the hall, which was fully occupied.
As soon as Leon entered, he saw over a hundred students and scholars, packed to the brim.
But just as he and the chubby Dean walked onto the podium, all the low murmurs quieted down, and suddenly the hall fell silent.
The gazes of the scholars, varied in age, fixed upon him, creating a bizarre atmosphere.
Leon was puzzled; why did these scrutinizing looks not match the eager demeanor mentioned by the chubby Dean?
He looked inquiringly at Theodore beside him, but saw that the chubby Dean also appeared perplexed by the atmosphere, with inexplicable beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
“I heard from Dean Theodore that the people of the University wanted to see me?”
Leon decided to break the silence first.
A young scholar stood up, speaking aggressively:
“Are you the one who destroyed the Ustato Territory’s river, flooding a thousand miles of fertile land?
The one rumored to have defeated Kantadar and the dragon-slayer peacock, with a hobby of collecting beauties, and the Seryan fugitive exaggerated by unscrupulous poets?”
With such a sharp and rude inquiry, even with Leon’s mild temperament, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
…Is this a fan meet-and-greet admiring me…?
This was not a friendly encounter.
Adexus, didn’t you still have detention to complete?
How could you come here from the Tower?!”
The fat on Theodore’s face trembled; he suddenly realized he had fallen into the trap of this despicable bunch again.
Fear and dread rose behind him as he dared not imagine how enraged King Lydwen would be, should the newly risen noble by the King’s side become angered.
I’m sorry, Lord Pendragon, this was highly improper.
Let me escort you back, please ignore these reckless individuals; they have read so much, their brains have gone haywire.”
The chubby Dean’s voice quivered, trying to hurriedly escort the seemingly unagitated Leon away.
But Leon shook his head.
“It seems there are many misunderstandings about me here at the university, so why not take this opportunity to chat with these enthusiastic students today?”
Leon patted Theodore on the shoulder.
