In the dead of the night.

Moisture and steam seeped out of the bathroom along with Dark, who had just finished taking a shower and, before Valentine's Day was over, finally remembered the thing he had yet to do tonight.

He still had three boxes of chocolates to be opened.

There were too many things happening throughout the whole day. While he had enjoyed himself to the fullest, he was also feeling rather exhausted.

But there were some things that could lift your spirits no matter how tired you were.

He picked one among the three boxes of chocolates.

Once it was opened, the distinctive aroma of chocolate wafted in the air.

He took a closer look and saw a total of twelve pieces of chocolate neatly arranged inside the box.

Each piece of chocolate was in the shape of a plump and round rabbit. From the slight differences between the shapes, it could be seen that this should be a genuine handmade chocolate.

"This must be Rose's, right?"

Thinking so, Dark found a small rectangular card on the side of the box. The only thing written on it was "Rose Rothrock [gift]".

Dark softly smiled.

Meaningful objects should be collected and stored so that there would be things to commemorate in later days.

He put Rose's card together with Dianna's card, and then picked up a long box of chocolate.

What was wrapped inside the box was a long roll of chocolate that looked like a cigar.

But when he carefully bit into it, Dark discovered that there was a secret hidden inside this chocolate!

"This is…"

Dark's gaze gradually turned strange.

He had seen chocolates with cream or liquor filling.

But what was the deal with meat floss filling?

Was it supposed to be a pun for sweetheart?

The flesh of my heart and soul?

Dark couldn't hold back his dry chuckle, amused by his own brainwave.

Afterwards, as he ate the meat floss filled chocolate roll like one would hold a cigar in their mouth, he found a coin-sized card stored inside it.

Only Senior Pandora's name was inscribed on the card, but on the other side, there was a lifelike drawing of the Young Winged Dragon.

……

"There's still the last one left."

Dark solemnly took little Lily's chocolate box.

This was his last Valentine's Day gift. He hoped there wouldn't be some kind of trick to it.

……

February 15th.

The day after Valentine's Day.

The students walked into the classroom while chatting and laughing, but if you looked closely, you would find that today was no different from yesterday or the day before that.

At least no new couple had emerged among the first years in Noble House and Knight House.

It seemed as though they had been eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Valentine's Day, but in the end, did it turn out to be all for nothing?

However, the final outcome would only be determined on White Day on March 14th, so things weren't certain for now.

But when the students gathered together to discuss how so and so gave chocolates to so and so, the current results were all rather bleak.

After spending some time talking about it, the topic was eventually left behind.

It was as if everyone had already forgotten about Valentine's Day the day after it passed.

Instead, there were more talks about yesterday's heavy snowfall as well as the incomparably huge snowman that Professor Lily had built!

Even until now, that enchanted snowman was still standing strong by the lakeside.

Yesterday, someone had reportedly seen a little fairy sneaking out of the castle late at night.

Afterwards, flashes of light continuously sparked at the location of the snowman.

When they looked at it in the morning, that snowman had already been turned into an enchanted item…

It was truly a stroke of genius beyond the students' imagination.

And right at this moment, the instigator of the incident was excitedly announcing the completion of the new textbook from the lectern. But in fact, it hadn't been completed yet.

Only the part Dark was in charge of had actually been completed.

But this didn't stop her from showing it off like a newly acquired toy to her students.

When it was finally bound into a book, she even planned to make a grand show out of it!

To put it in her words, after painstakingly selling herself (?) in order to obtain this treasure-level textbook, how could she only flaunt it in front of the students?

She would definitely promote it and let those old professors who always viewed her with prejudice take a good look at who was the actual brightest gem in Saint Marian!

Professor Lily, who was in a great mood, freely displayed her skills in arithmetic class, making the young magisters suffer an untold misery.

……

Dark waited until arithmetic class was over before waving to Robert.

"Is he calling me?"

Robert walked over in a daze. This was the first time Dark took the initiative to look for him.

White hesitated in his seat for a while, but finally chose to follow him.

Dark took out the 《Three Hundred Heroes》 that he borrowed from Dianna, turned it to the page dedicated to the Blood Princess, and asked as he pointed at her portrait, "How is it, Robert, is this the female vampire that you saw yesterday?"

Before he finished speaking, he already figured out the answer.

The moment Robert saw the Blood Princess's portrait, he was visibly seized with fear. As if recalling the horrific scene he saw last night, he tremblingly said, "Yes, it's her! Dark, how did you find this?"

With a slight frown, Dark told him, "Calm down, Robert. This is the Blood Princess, one of the heroes from the same generation as the Brave One. She was also a student of Saint Marian, perhaps we can even find her in the student records"

"This female vampire is actually our senior sister?" White took a step forward and asked in surprise.

Dark glanced at him, then pointed at the content of the book and said, "She's a human from the Blood Race, a minority clan. She's not a vampire."

"Not a vampire?" Upon hearing this piece of information, Robert finally regained his composure.

Dark initially wanted to nod, but hesitated because he kept feeling as though something wasn't right.

Robert and White immediately looked down at the book. The record was written very clearly, and they soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Robert even broke into a smile. "It's good as long as she's not a vampire. I even had a nightmare last night, you know. I dreamed that I was bitten by a vampire and turned into a Thrall! How terrible is that!"

But as he laughed heartily, White who stood beside him simultaneously turned pale, evidently recalling the memory of being bitten by a vampire.

At that time, he was nearly given the Embrace!

He couldn't help saying, "Don't worry, Robert. You have me by your side."

(If anyone's to be bitten, it's going to be me anyway ค(TㅅT))

……

After learning that the person he saw wasn't a vampire, Robert was obviously greatly relieved. He even had the mood to start rambling.

"Since the Blood Princess is a hero from the Golden Generation, why didn't Headmistress Arte mention anything about her during the few days when she was lecturing? I had never seen her before, so how did I end up seeing her inside the mist? Could it be that my divination talent had been triggered and that we'll encounter her in the future? Now that I think about it, I'm actually starting to look forward to it. Perhaps she and I are bound by fate. Maybe she'll become my guide, just like the relationship between Professor Medea and Eudora…"

White sighed, "Robert, you talk too much."
