The fierce-eyed Headmaster saw nothing.
The side was empty.
"Is it a hallucination?" Theresa felt some doubt in her heart. "Never mind, Homu is more important…"
"Homu… my Homu, the Headmaster likes you so much…"
Theresa buried her small head in Homu's chest.
The internal sponge prevented Lucas from clearly feeling the warmth of the Headmaster's body. He just waited quietly.
Only when Theresa calmed down a bit would Lucas speak.
This point…
Lucas had told Kiana when they were chatting on the rooftop earlier, and she had readily agreed.
But now.
The impatient Paramecium couldn't sit still; she would peek her head out every few tens of seconds.
That strange gaze made it hard not to notice.
This caused Theresa to always feel that something was off, feeling like someone was staring at her, but when she turned her head…
She saw nothing.
After repeating this several times.
Theresa couldn't take it anymore. She leaped up and pounced towards the bedside.
Paramecium, unable to dodge in time, was caught red-handed.
"You, Kiana, how dare you sneak into the Headmaster's room!"
Theresa tugged at the white-haired girl's braid.
Kiana said sheepishly, "Aunt… I didn't do it on purpose."
"Not on purpose… then it was intentional, huh?" Theresa's gaze became confused again. "No… You… are you Kiana? Something's not right… The Kiana in my memory… shouldn't be like this…"
The Headmaster held onto one of Paramecium's braids and wouldn't let go.
Lucas, hidden inside Homu, his eyes flickered slightly.
Theresa and Kiana together…
Sure enough, it could trigger special dialogue.
The Kiana in memory.
To be honest, Lucas felt that the current Paramecium should be more in line with her true self.
So—is there a problem with Theresa's memory?
For some reason.
Lucas instantly thought of the Herrscher of Sentience.
"A.I. said back then… Theresa was the first to show abnormalities, the Herrscher of Corruption, and Rin is also suspected to be on her."
The Headmaster has many secrets.
Even if she has some connection with the Herrscher of Sentience, it's not surprising.
"Aunt, I am Kiana… Can you find another me at St. Freya Academy?"
Paramecium looked innocent.
Theresa pressed her hand to her head, a headache forming.
Kiana continued, "Aunt, can you please stop pulling my hair…"
The Headmaster and Paramecium both share the Kiana Kaslana family bloodline.
Two white-haired, blue-eyed beautiful girls.
Their appearances are somewhat similar.
Except one looks smaller, and the other looks much older.
Theresa was thinking.
While the two were talking, Lucas sat up on the bed.
He looked at Kiana with a faint gaze; he had actually noticed her little movements earlier and even gestured for her not to mess around.
But Paramecium didn't care about any of that.
This led to the current situation, but it didn't matter.
Kiana would meet Theresa sooner or later anyway.
It was just a different way.
"Hello, Theresa, I am Homu."
Lucas's sudden voice startled Theresa.
She ignored Kiana and turned her head to look at the man, saying, "Homu... spoke... Hahaha! The Headmaster's Homu spoke!"
The girl in the nun's habit let out an exaggerated laugh.
Kiana heard this opening and slapped her belly, laughing and letting out a bell-like sound.
"You're so funny..."
At the same time, Theresa suddenly stopped laughing.
She turned her head and stared at Paramecium with cold eyes, as if looking at a dead person.
"What did you say?"
"I said he... I was talking about Homu, not Aunt."
Kiana froze, then shook her head wildly.
Theresa, however, didn't fall for it.
She released her grip on the ponytail and, with lightning speed, grabbed Paramecium's neck.
The Headmaster held the slender swan-like neck, and Theresa's face was distorted.
"I won't allow you to talk about Homu like that!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Theresa's small hand tightened.
Kiana's pupils constricted as she felt the pressure on her neck, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She tried to speak and explain, but no sound came out.
Lucas was also stunned by this scene.
He quickly said, "Theresa, Kiana is your niece... Don't... Don't be like this... She's almost out of breath!"
Seeing Kiana's pale face begin to turn red, Lucas couldn't sit still.
He reached out to pull Theresa's body.
Although she didn't look very big, the power contained within Theresa was astonishing.
Neither Kiana's subconscious struggle for survival nor Lucas's intervention had any effect.
The Headmaster's tone was cold as she said, "If it weren't for the fact that she's my niece, I would have killed her when I first found her, and besides..."
"She actually dared to mock Homu..."
"Truly unforgivable!"
Theresa tightened her grip more and more.
Kiana's face turned from red to blue, then to white.
Lucas became anxious and kept trying to persuade her.
"I've already forgiven Kiana, Theresa, don't be like this, Homu..."
"Homu won't be friends with a murderer!"
Hearing someone's voice in her ear and looking at the face in front of her that bore some resemblance to her own, Theresa's expression changed several times.
Finally, she released her hand just as Kiana was about to suffocate.
The white-haired, blue-eyed beautiful girl immediately slid to her knees.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Kiana, kneeling on the ground, coughed frantically, breathing in the precious, hard-won air.
To be honest, for a moment, Kiana truly felt like she was going to die; her eyes were filled with lingering fear.
Lucas was quite surprised now.
Aponia and Griseo had never experienced such a comical incident.
Usually, the two of them would play with Lucas together.
There was never any scene of them attacking each other.
"Something's wrong... Could it be that I shouldn't bring Kiana when trying to conquer Theresa? Or is it... that the way I brought her was wrong?"
"Or is it because Ling is inside the Headmaster?"
"But in the end, I still can't determine who Crimson Jade Maru is currently with."
Originally, Lucas wanted to ask Sakura about Ling's whereabouts, but the process of conquering her was interrupted by Himeko Murata.
Thinking of the Morning Bell, twilight drum, and the message Welt Yang left for him, Lucas felt that tricking Theresa to the vicinity of the twilight drum and then striking the drum himself to see if there was a reaction seemed like a feasible plan.
He just didn't know if striking the drum would have any side effects.
Welt Yang also didn't leave specific information.
Perhaps there would be relevant information in other messages.
This would require Lucas to search slowly; it couldn't be rushed for a while.
A moment of thought only lasted a few seconds.
After Kiana, who was kneeling on the ground, recovered, she looked up at Theresa, golden light flickering in her eyes.
Her delicate face also began to twist.
Noticing this, Lucas inwardly thought, "This is bad."
