Alan remained silent. He truly appreciated Alice's help and had already engraved it in his heart.
"You're not an ordinary person, but Alice is far from ordinary as well. Lioncrest Academy may be domineering, running roughshod over everyone in the Plantagenet Kingdom—but when it comes to Alice, all they have is reverence!"
Alan nodded slightly, looking at Headmaster Gayle's meaningful gaze. He smiled and said,
"Headmaster, are you worried that getting too close to her will get me burned?"
Gayle took a deep breath. "Alice is strong-willed and genuinely sincere, without much scheming in her. But her background runs deep, and she's incredibly outstanding. She's like a radiant rose that attracts countless bees."
"Anyone close to her could become a target of indiscriminate attacks. Before you possess absolute strength, staying away from her is in everyone's best interest."
Alan chuckled, "Alice has helped me a lot, but we're just friends."
