Chapter515 Felix did not rush his meal. He ate the way he did most things, calmly, deliberately, without letting emotions cloud his senses. The dining hall of the Victorium guesthouse was warm and softly lit, the long table filled with carefully prepared dishes that balanced nutrition and taste. Steam curled lazily from bowls of soup. The faint clink of cutlery echoed in a steady, comforting rhythm. Across from him, Serena ate more slowly than usual, her thoughts clearly elsewhere. Christene, on the other hand, had regained some of her appetite, though her mood still flickered between irritation and amusement.“…I still can’t believe that man,” she muttered between bites. “I swear, if arrogance could ferment, he’d be a fine vintage.” Serena smiled faintly. “At least we left before things escalated.” Felix set his utensils down neatly. “They already escalated. Just not loudly.” Christene glanced at him. “You mean you’re planning something.” Felix didn’t answer directl
Chapter514
Chapter 514 The Victorium guesthouse was quiet again. Not the heavy, ceremonial quiet of an imperial hall but the softer kind. The kind that came after anger burned itself out and left only lingering dissatisfaction behind. Christene and Serena had already moved ahead toward the dining hall, their footsteps fading down the corridor as warm light spilled from between half open doors. The scent of freshly prepared food drifted through the air, rich and comforting. Felix stopped walking. “Go on,” he said calmly. “Give me a few minutes.” Serena turned back at once. “You’re not skipping dinner again.” Felix smiled faintly. “I’m not. Just making a call.” Christene narrowed her eyes. “This sounds suspiciously like imperial business.” “Five minutes,” Felix replied. “I promise.” Serena studied his face, then nodded. “Fine. But your food is already on the table. Don’t let it get cold.” Christene pointed at him. “If I have to reheat your plate, I’m judging you.” Felix chu
Chapter513
Chapter513 The gates of the Victorium section of the Imperial Guesthouse opened silently as the SUV rolled to a smooth stop. Warm lantern light spilled across the marble driveway, reflecting softly off carved pillars and carefully trimmed hedges. The atmosphere here was nothing like the noise and tension of the city outside. It was quiet. Ordered. Safe. Victor stepped out first and opened the door. Felix exited the vehicle, followed by Serena and Christene. The moment their feet touched the ground, several imperial guards stationed along the path straightened sharply. “Your Majesty.”“Welcome back.” “Good evening, Empress.” Maids in light robes bowed deeply, hands folded respectfully, eyes lowered. Christene glanced around, stretching her arms slightly. “Ah… finally. Somewhere that doesn’t make me want to flip a table.” Serena smiled faintly. “You handled yourself well back there.” Christene scoffed. “Please. I was this close to verbally dismembering that manager.
Chapter512
Chapter512"I have offended an emperor!" Krel exclaimed as he held his head.An emperor. In public. In his own establishment. The consequences rushed into his mind all at once, he might have his licenses revoked, businesses frozen, investigations launched, connections severed. And worse. Felix hadn’t done anything. That was what terrified him most. Krel turned sharply. “Nepa Light,” he said. Light was still standing nearby. He hadn’t moved either. But unlike Krel, his stillness wasn’t panic. It was confusion. His brows were drawn together, his gaze fixed on the corridor Felix had disappeared down, as though replaying the scene again and again. “…Why,” Light murmured to himself, “did he just leave?” Krel staggered toward him. “Young Master Light,” he said urgently, “you knew, didn’t you?” Light didn’t respond. “Y..You knew who he was,” Krel pressed. “You knew his identity.” That snapped Light out of his daze. He looked at Krel, annoyance flickering across his face
Chapter511
Chapter511 The glass doors of Cherrly Restaurant slid shut behind them with a soft, final sound. Felix and the girls stopped walking. For a brief moment, the three of them stood on the pavement outside, the glow of the restaurant’s massive signboard washing over their faces in pale gold light. No one spoke Among them, Traffic moved in the distance. A hover billboard flickered across the street. Laughter drifted faintly from somewhere down the avenue. Christene was the first to turn around. She looked up at the building. Her lips pressed together. “…What a waste,” she muttered. Serena followed her gaze. The disappointment in her eyes was quiet but unmistakable. “I was actually looking forward to eating there,” she said softly. “Everyone talked about this place like it was special.” Felix didn’t answer immediately. He stared at the entrance they’d just left. the polished doors, the uniformed staff visible through the glass, the illusion of refinement that now felt thin a
Chapter510
Chapter 510 Upon hearing Krel's wirds, the guards moved quickly. One of them reached out toward Felix’s shoulder. Another moved toward the girls. upon seeing this, Christene’s smile vanished. Serena’s expression hardened. But Felix didn’t move he was preparing to take action and put the arrogant manager and his security guards in their place. However, suddenly, “Hold on.” A voice sounded sharply. The voice came from behind it, and it sounded smooth. Unhurried. and Amused. The guards froze mid step. The crowd parted instinctively as a tall man stepped into view. He wore a light coat over casual designer wear, his posture relaxed, his expression carrying an easy arrogance born from knowing eyes would always turn his way. Recognition rippled instantly. “It’s him…”“Its Nepa Light.”“He’s here?” Christene’s fingers curled slowly. Felix felt it immediately. That presence. That familiar, irritating weight. Nepa Light smiled as his eyes landed on Felix. Recognition flar
