Actually, Nunnally's Talent Is the Most Terrifying of All (6K)

Unfortunately, Marianne was originally just a commoner. Even though her predecessor had risen to the position of Knight Marquis, she was not a well-known noblewoman and did not have any noble family supporting her.

If this continues, then once Marianne falls out of favor, her final fate will be to be neglected and forgotten.

Therefore, the Ashford family approached Marianne and expressed their desire to cooperate.

Marianne naturally accepted with pleasure.

However, it turned out that Ashford's decision at the time was correct, as he firmly supported Princess Marianne with the strength of the entire family, and Marianne was also particularly favored by Charles.

As a result, the Ashford family's status rose accordingly, gradually becoming more prominent, and even their family business reached its peak.

At the time, the highly sought-after and lucrative Knightmare production and research project fell into Ashford's hands.

At that time, the Ashford family was the most prestigious noble family in Britannia.

Even compared to the eight most prestigious families with long histories, they were in no way inferior. It could be said that the only thing the Ashford family lacked at the time was a hereditary title.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long; the decline after the glory always comes so quickly.

When Marianne was murdered, when the living became the dead, Ashford lost his greatest support.

The nobles they had once opposed have returned. Having lost their backers, they are now without protection. Almost all of their former connections have become useless. The entire family has not only lost almost all of its wealth, but is now also about to lose its noble title.

Left with no other choice, the down-on-his-luck Ashford, still clinging to his empty title, slunk away from Britannia to Area 11, where he used his last remaining funds and connections to build Ashford Academy, a prestigious school for the nobility.

But now, Ashford is getting older, and the Ashford family has no new generation of pillars to lead them. They want to preserve their noble title and the last vestiges of their family's glory.

They only have one option left: a marriage alliance.

Therefore, the head of Ashford exhausted all means to finally make contact with the Asplund Family, who held a superior position.

They planned to form a marriage alliance with her in order to protect their family.

Milly Ashford became a victim of this arranged marriage.

Maintaining the family's status is also Milly's duty.

"Don't you want to go on a blind date, Milly..."

Just as Milly was struggling, the elderly Ashford sat in a thick leather chair with his back to her. His gaze was kind and peaceful as he looked out over the entire Ashford Academy through the large glass window.

However, even knowing that his days were numbered and that the academy was doomed, old Ashford still calmly asked his granddaughter for her opinion.

But Milly shook her head and said firmly:

"No, Grandpa, if the family needs me, I will do as Mother instructs."

"Hehe..."

Upon hearing Milly's reply, old Ashford smiled.

"Don't say such insincere things in front of Grandpa. I understand what you're thinking right now, Milly..."

The elderly patriarch gazed quietly out the window and said this.

He has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, witnessing the glory and decline of his family. He has enjoyed everything he was meant to enjoy and experienced everything he was meant to experience.

For him, there is nothing he can't let go of.

But if I had to say something, it would be this poor granddaughter.

Thinking of this, old Ashford slowly turned his chair around, looked at his granddaughter standing in front of his desk, and a kind smile appeared on his aged face.

"Milly, my granddaughter. I know you must have heard about the eccentric nature of that Asplund boy, and that he must have other motives for agreeing to the marriage alliance with our family..."

If you really don't like it, Grandpa has other ways.

"Grandpa, what method are you talking about?"

Milly asked almost instinctively.

But her expression was like that of a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

"Hehe, then we should go find Yotsuba Mahiro and seek his help. If it's him, he can definitely help you escape this misery and also protect our Ashford family."

At this point, a glint of light appeared in old Ashford's cloudy old eyes.

Unlike the current head of the Ashford family, the elder Ashford values Yotsuba Mahiro very much.

Even though Yotsuba Mahiro only received Charles's surname and had no family support behind her, even though Yotsuba Mahiro was originally just an ordinary royal tutor.

But he knew very well that the man was his biggest backer, and he was the biggest family.

Long ago, through Marianne's connections, I had the privilege of meeting Yotsuba Mahiro once; he was so young then.

But now, when I see him again, he is still as young as ever.

Could someone possessing a secret that seems to grant eternal youth be an ordinary person?

Even if his son thinks he's old and his eyesight is failing and his mind isn't working properly.

But Ashford Sr. remained convinced of his judgment.

If anyone could save the Ashford family, it would definitely not be one of the so-called eight noble families, but only Yotsuba Mahiro!

Chapter 259 Actually, Nunnally's talent is the most terrifying (6K)

"So, Milly actually planned for me to impersonate your fiancé to appease your family and prevent the Asplund Family from forming a marriage alliance, is that correct?"

After hearing the whole story, Mahiro looked at the other person with a strange expression, while Milly looked at him with hopeful eyes and nodded slightly.

This can be considered confirmation of his statement.

"I must say, Milly, you're really bold. Didn't you think about what would happen if you were exposed?"

Under his questioning, Milly fell silent, wilting like a frostbitten eggplant, her face filled with dejection.

"Alright, alright, stop making yourself look so pitiful. Since the student is in trouble, I, as the teacher, will naturally help. I'll help you this once."

"Really, teacher?!"

"Of course, I'm known for keeping my word."

"Very good!"

Milly's face lit up instantly. She jumped up happily and pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek.

His moves were so fluid and unexpected.

It frightened the students who were passing by, and some even felt as if they could hear the sound of hearts breaking.

Even though President Milly often organizes some unpredictable activities, it doesn't stop her from being the goddess in the hearts of most boys at the Ashford Academy.

"This is a thank-you gift for you, teacher. It's the first time I've ever kissed another man!"

Milly, now back to her usual energetic self, smiled mischievously as she released him, saying this.

A tempting blush gradually spread across the girl's fair cheeks, and she ran away quickly, seemingly shy and timid.

Mahiro and a group of shocked students were left alone in the corridor.

That's all the thank-you gift?

Watching the girl's figure gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, as if fleeing in panic, Mahiro reached out and touched his kissed cheek, a slow smile curving his lips.

"I can't easily repay favors, Milly."

He hadn't originally intended to make a move against Milly, after all, he still had to maintain a certain image as a teacher, but if she came to him on her own, then he couldn't be blamed.

Moreover, this Student Council is indeed very attractive.

She has a tall, slender figure, but her body is surprisingly good. Her breasts alone are perfectly shaped and can be stretched.

Her pale golden curls exuded an aristocratic air, and her playful, mischievous charm was tinged with captivating elegance. Her long, slender legs were equally stunning as CC's.

Even if you said she was a world-class supermodel, no one would doubt it.

How could he possibly refuse a beautiful young woman with such an interesting soul who came knocking on his door?

However, in a corner of the corridor beyond his sight, a young girl watched the entire thing in disbelief.

"He... they..."

Shirley blushed slightly and covered her surprised mouth, mumbling incoherently.

She didn't know what Mahiro- sensei and President Milly had talked about, but she never expected that the president would do such a thing with Mahiro- sensei in public!

Like the other female students, Shirley was also caught in a state of profound shock.

Although Mr. Mahiro is indeed very handsome, young and accomplished, and of very noble status, having reportedly served as a royal tutor, he can be considered the prince charming in the hearts of all girls.

But...

No matter what, they're still teachers, how could you...

"Shirley, what's wrong? You look like..."

"Kallen! It's you! You scared me to death..."

Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, Shirley tensed up almost instantly. She turned around and saw Kallen looking so frail and sleepy that she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"What happened?" Kallen asked curiously.

"No... I have some things to do at the Student Council, I have to go now."

After saying that, Shirley hurriedly left.

Kallen was left standing there, completely bewildered.

She stood where Shirley been, looking in the direction she had just been looking, and saw only Mahiro- sensei there.

There's no need to be so nervous just because you're seeing Mahiro- sensei, right?

Could it be...?

A bold idea suddenly popped into Kallen's head.

But she quickly put it out of her mind.

How could that be?

Shirley loves Lelouch, so how could she possibly fall for Mahiro- sensei?

Not to mention...

As Kallen gazed at Mahiro's face, she gradually narrowed her eyes.

The other person's appearance seemed to gradually merge with that of a white figure.

The smile on Mahiro's face at this moment felt very familiar to her; it was exactly the same as the white-haired man she had seen during the prison break.

Adding to what happened in the Student Council club bathroom earlier...

Kallen was now absolutely certain that Yotsuba Mahiro was indeed the white-haired man!

However, final confirmation is still needed.

However, if Yotsuba Mahiro is the mysterious white-haired man, then who is Zero...?

Because of what happened to Milly during the day, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the academy. The most outrageous rumor was that Yotsuba Mahiro was dating Milly Ashford and would become Ashford's son-in-law.

Rivalz, who secretly loves President Milly, was heartbroken for an entire afternoon because of this.

However, Yotsuba Mahiro himself couldn't be bothered with such rumors. As long as they weren't said to his face, he could let them spread whatever they wanted.

He didn't care, the witch didn't care, and the girls of the Shadow Garden cared even less.

Rather, if Beta and Epsilon knew, they might even sneak into the academy to speak on their behalf, saying it was some kind of favor bestowed upon the Ashford family...

This isn't wishful thinking; these two elves are actually capable of making it.

Therefore, the only person who needs to care about this matter is the other party involved, President Milly.

However, given her personality, she most likely won't take it to heart.

Soon, it was time to leave school.

After work, Mahiro returned to the Student Council club villa and spent time in the living room folding origami cranes with Nunnally.

This is what Sayoko taught Nunnally, and it seems she quite likes it.

Although Nunnally is blind, her hands are surprisingly dexterous; even without seeing, she can still fold origami cranes perfectly.

After folding it, he gave it to CC, who was sitting next to him.
