Iver is actually not surprised that Isabel came to find him.

Isabel usually longs to have a true friend, but whether it is the curse that happened on her at an unknown time, her status, or her own character flaws, it is very difficult to do so.

Others are either afraid to approach her or don't know how to approach her. The very few who dare to try to approach Isabel despite the curse are mostly people with ulterior motives.

Extraordinary people with Path of Beauty adaptability must have very strong spiritual sense and perceptual abilities - they are the kind of people who can vaguely perceive the inner attitudes of others and the beauty of the details of all things before they embark on the road.

There is no reason, nor is it some kind of knowledge or technology. Rather, it relies on pure "intuition" that cannot be explained or explained.

Those who want to take advantage of Isabel's depression and loneliness for some purpose will be easily caught by Isabel. To take a step back, even if the other party's disguise and acting skills are strong enough to deceive her intuition, she still has Teacher Yanis who can act as an advisor.

And Iver, who has been approved by Yanis, is equivalent to passing the character review; because of the experience in the dream, coupled with the experience of having a pleasant meal, she is no longer nervous when facing Iver.

In other words, now Iver is the only friend that Isabel can interact with normally.

Whether it's to show off your friends to others, or to show that "you too have friends", or even just to play with Iver... Isabel will definitely come.

——Compared to Iver, Isabel is more like the "transfer student". Instead, Iver became her only acquaintance in a school where she was "unfamiliar".

Iver What I didn't expect was that she would come so quickly and in such a hurry.

And what surprised Iver the most was—how did Isabel know that he was here?

An hour ago, he didn't even know he would be here!

This is not the arrangement of big brother Edward. But after Hai Na received the mission from Edward, he realized that he could not always be with Iver... so he temporarily decided to use his prestige to help Iver become familiar with him.

To put it simply, it is to express the attitude of "I protect this child." This was entirely her impromptu idea.

Royal Law University has a large footprint. It would take at least an hour to walk from Sixth Faculty's art college to Fourth Faculty's seminary.

If there is no clear purpose, Isabel will not be able to get here no matter how he wanders.

After Iver raised the question, Isabel's expression froze.

After hesitating for a while, he gave the answer hesitantly but honestly, "I knew you would come to school today, and I asked the teacher... the teacher said you were here.

"The teacher also said that you are giving lectures to the students. I was very curious... and wanted to come and have a look."

Isabel said with some regret, "But I seem to be late. By the time I got here, you guys had already finished class."

Iver Got it.

It turned out to be Yanis who saw it from the painting. It is true that the corridors and classrooms of universities are filled with portraits of various celebrities. And those paintings are her eyes.

No wonder His Highness Princess was hesitant.

This was considered voyeurism after all - she was worried that she would be angry or alienated from her.

... But this is completely unnecessary worry.

How could he be angry about such a thing. Isabel is really too sensitive.

However, Iver did not directly say that he "doesn't care about this" or anything like that. Because in this situation, even if I say it, she may not believe it. At most, she will interpret it as an attitude such as "this is to politely say that I don't mind so as not to embarrass myself."

Although it will not damage Iver's own image, it will make her feel more guilty and worried.

Therefore, Iver directly and lightly addressed this topic, directly expressing with his attitude that he really didn't care. "Your Highness, don't you have class this morning?"

"I took a leave of absence."

Isabel replied without hesitation, "This class is a vocal class... My grades in this class are very good, so it's okay to take a leave of absence once in a while."

Iver was a little helpless. "It doesn't have to be like this..."

Hearing their conversation, Professor Bard behind Iver was suddenly stunned.

Isabel Princess... Don't you like singing the most?

His eyes fell on his new student, a little complicated.

"Right!"

Isabel Suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

She interrupted Iver and smiled at Iver and Lily: "The house I gave you... doesn't it look okay?"

"I haven't settled in yet, Your Highness."

Iver said warmly, "I just came to school and haven't seen it yet. But the luggage went through first."

"After dinner, I'll take you to see it, right?"

Isabel quickly added, "If you have an appointment at noon, then it will be in the afternoon... or in the evening."

... She is really afraid of being rejected by herself, and also afraid that she will cause trouble to others.

Iver clearly realized this.

So he simply looked directly at his old classmate John Aiden. Isabel also followed his gaze and looked over.

For a moment, other students watching the excitement also looked at little John.

Suddenly being stared at by so many people, little John was stunned for a moment.

He felt chills running down his spine, a sharp increase in pressure, and his body was so stiff that he could not speak.

——At that time, Aiden felt as if he could understand why His Highness Princess was always so cautious in his words and deeds.

When he was stared at silently by so many people with eyes that had no meaning but seemed to be able to guess their thoughts, he did not dare to move or say a word.

"By the way, Aiden..."

In the extremely silent atmosphere, Iver asked, "You just came to see me, what's the matter?"

"I..."

Aiden hesitated to speak. He felt the gazes around him getting heavier.

Do I have it... or should I not have it? Aiden scratched his head in distress, looked at Isabel Princess's face, and replied hesitantly, "It can also be said that there is no..."

"Then there is still one."

"Ah, no, no... I just want to ask you something small, about something mentioned in a certain novel! It's not in a hurry either..."

Aiden was sweating profusely.

His Highness Princess obviously wants to play with Iver. If he says that he really has something to do at this time, will he seem a little less sensible? Forget it, let's talk about what was said in Iver's class tonight first...

... Hey, wait? Why don't you just bring Iver over to speak for yourself? Having said this, Aiden suddenly remembered what he should say, so his words immediately became smoother. "I know there is a very interesting place. When you are free, I would like to invite you to join us!"

Iver raised his eyebrows but did not answer.

Because when he heard "novel", he realized what plot it was.

This is the first mission that Aiden appears on.

John Aiden was given a copy of "Dracula", so he became somewhat interested in the existence of "vampires". He will appear after the player obtains the professor's approval note, asking the player to investigate "whether vampires exist" for him. He made a bet on White Shoes Club that vampires existed, but he did not have permission to enter the library.

After completing this task chain, the map "White Shoes Club" and the club's influence will be unlocked.

——Yes, power.

Although "White Shoes Club" sounds like a dance club, in fact it can only be said to have some relationship, but not much.

It is said to be a club, but in fact it is a student club with a certain threshold. It was originally established by a group of students who liked to watch ballet performances. They took turns inviting guests to the Iris Flower Kingdom's ballet troupe to perform at Royal Law University, and also to benefit other students about their hobby.

Later, as more and more people joined, it was no longer a pure circle of ballet lovers - besides, you would get tired of watching it often. So now it has become a gathering place for lovers of various art performances, including drama, opera, and Stage Play.

Singers, orchestras, dance groups, and theater groups are invited to perform every day. You can watch it for free and have free meals, or you can just use the performance as background music and find a corner to drink tea and chat with others. If the band is coming, interested students can also enter the dance floor to dance.

Although the club itself is run within the university. But even after graduation, students are not unable to return to the club—they just need to pay their dues again.

Therefore, in a sense, this can be regarded as a permanent alumni association.

Because this kind of social interaction is private, you must be invited by a member to join "White Shoes Club". The inviter is also the guarantor and must vouch for the character of the new member. If a member is expelled for doing something objectionable, the guarantors themselves will also be punished.

Isabel has always been interested in this club. But she could never find anyone who could invite her, and she didn't dare to enter that kind of closed social environment alone - she knew without guessing that she would definitely become the focus of the audience as soon as she appeared.

It might even cause trouble for other people and make their otherwise relaxed environment tense... and that might be disliked.

Obviously, if Iver wants to join "White Shoes Club", he does not need to do any "trust tasks". Even just now, several people had invited him.

In Iver's impression, the minister's secret could only be found out through "White Shoes Club". Because people who come here to rest include judges, inspectors, supervisors, and Civil Servant—except for people from the military system, almost everyone from other systems can be seen here.

In this case...

Iver thought of this and narrowed his eyes.

Then agree to little John. By the way, I brought Isabel with me.

He has not forgotten his previous thoughts.

He wants to help Isabel build up her confidence and help her find good friends. And now is a good opportunity.

Iver said softly, "I guess the fun place you mentioned should be 'White Shoes Club', right? Several classmates have invited me just now, it seems really interesting..."

Hearing this, Isabel's eyes lit up.

She looked at Iver eagerly, obviously hoping that Iver would agree.

In this case, Iver can invite her as a formal member!

However, Isabel did not realize that Iver's work style was more direct than she thought, "I am free this afternoon. I can go with you after the afternoon class is over."

Iver glanced at Isabel with a smile, and then looked back. "But...

"Do you mind if I bring two more people?"
