In the Royal Palace, Estella completed a day's worth of courses, but she was somewhat distracted. She had contacted Mr. Gemini yesterday, but received no response. Could something have happened to Mr. Gemini?

There was a change in today's society, as Grandmaster James mentioned that the society's rules would change in the future, with special invitations for elite members of the Knight Academy and Canon Law School to participate, all of whom are citizens of the Kingdom. His Majesty the King decided to give more people the opportunity to serve the country.

This was not the first time it had been proposed, but previously it was rejected in Cabinet discussions, mainly because it didn't conform to traditions and would disrupt the rules, not to mention being unfair to the nobility. However, the recent Anthony incident, like pulling up radishes and bringing up mud, Estella inadvertently overheard Grandmaster James and her father mentioning an organization called the Hunting Enjoyment Club and a "game" within that left her astonished, and among those participating in the society, there were members of this club.

She felt a strong need to confide in someone. In the Royal Palace, she had no one to communicate with about such matters, and Arthur and others were not people she could talk to about it. Perhaps Celestia could, though she hadn't entered the palace. If she wanted to participate in the society, she'd need to queue up, and due to the George Family's current low status, their positioning and frequency were also limited. She strongly needed someone to confide in, so she wanted to find Mr. Gemini.

Her mother was also not very willing for her to get involved in political and secret matters. If it weren't for her father's requirement that every royal family member needed to adhere to regulated learning, she might not have needed to attend the society. In this regard, she felt her father was somewhat unexpectedly right. Though the society could be bothersome at times, it undoubtedly provided a way to communicate with the outside world and learn about certain things.

After enduring until evening, Estella had already bathed for a while. Keli was well-fed, and a well-fed Keli was at their quietest, not even bothering to respond to Estella's calls.

Estella looked at the time, feeling that Mr. Gemini should still be occupied, so she decided to wait a bit longer. Wearing pajamas, she opened the balcony door. Today's weather was nice, the night sky was clear, and the distant sea was deep and mysterious. Arthur once said she sometimes felt there might be monsters lurking in the depths of the ocean, but Estella believed the ocean's end could be another mysterious world.

Leaning on her chin, she sat quietly looking at the sea, the sea breeze blowing gently. Chris was off somewhere, always so free, and sometimes Estella thought becoming a golden Feathered Eagle might not be so bad.

Finally, it was nine o'clock at night. Chris returned to the room, lowered the sheer curtain, and pretended to sleep, while beginning to enter the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc through the abundant gift.

Sitting in a high-backed chair, Estella couldn't help but think of how her father looked when working in the Cabinet. The environment was crucial; in such an environment, Estella couldn't help but become serious, feeling truly great, her thoughts becoming clear. Placing her hands on either side, she imitated her father, coughed a couple of times, then laughed at herself. Even though her father was always very serious, he indeed looked like a king.

Raising her head to look at the constellations in the sky, now Leo was also illuminated—yet another strange friend. However, this friend's situation was quite grave, best not to disturb him. Mr. Taurus was too mature; chatting with him felt almost like attending a lecture. As for Mr. Cancer—better not.

Mr. Gemini might be a bit busy, but Estella still chose Mr. Gemini.

At this moment, Li Xin wasn't writing; his manuscript had already been taken by Christie. At least he managed to handle this week. Next week... we'll see. He already somewhat regretted choosing this path.

If Christie hadn't provided the dazzling reward, he had planned to stop updating. Frankly, masculinity wasn't that important; as long as there was rice, such detestable male chauvinistic habits could be corrected.

Holding a piece of wood, he was carving it. This was a wooden fish for Mr. Leo, a magic artifact from Taoism and Buddhism, useful for warding off murmurings and stray thoughts. It could provide Mr. Leo with a means of coping, perhaps it might be useful. He hadn't made a wooden fish before, only had a rough idea, but now he was getting the hang of it quickly. Many things from his past, brought to this world with available materials, he could basically recreate. It was a wonderful feeling.

Scrape, scrape, scrape, rub, rub, rub...

Li Xin focused on chiseling until he felt the dice vibrate. Leo? Oh, it could be Miss Aries.

Li Xin put down the wooden fish and responded to the call of the Round Table Conference.

"Hello, Miss Aries."

"Hello, Mr. Gemini, I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Li Xin smiled slightly, "No need to be so polite. You seem a bit angry, Miss Aries. Did something happen?"

"Have you heard of the Hunting Enjoyment Club, Mr. Gemini?" Estella asked.

Li Xin paused for a moment, "Is it a Secret Organization?"

"No, it's an organization formed by some degenerate noble offspring, Anthony being one of them. The structure is quite tightly knit—it's said that only those from families with a rank of at least a Count can join."

Li Xin thought for a moment, even young Master Simmons was almost not qualified; this organization is quite high-end.

"I just found out about this organization," Estella took a deep breath. "Anthony's case may just be the tip of the iceberg for this group."

"Oh, is the Hunting Enjoyment Club related to the Inner Demon?"

"I'm not sure if they're connected to the Inner Demon, but their actions are just as despicable," said Estella. "You might not know, Mr. Gemini, but in Moncalleta, commoners must speak face-to-face with nobles. Speaking with one's back to the nobility is considered an insult crime. So, the club invented a form of entertainment where they'd gather in groups of five or six, surrounded a commoner, and speak behind him. When he turned, another spoke behind him, preventing him from facing them, and then he'd be cut down with a sword. They derived joy from such humiliating abuse, and the worst part is that it's legal."

When James mentioned this "game" in the society, Estella was shocked. How could anyone do such a thing? Yet it was one of the club's basic entertainment projects.

"So, Anthony digging out that woman's heart wasn't an impulsive act or driven by a Magic Potion?"

"No, he was completely aware. It was just the club's pursuit of thrill. If it hadn't been for the Inner Demon incident, coupled with the Funeral Attendant's involvement, it might have just been a minor incident," Estella explained.

"Miss Aries, I know someone at the Hex Bird Report as an editor. Could this be reported, of course with the source of information concealed?" Li Xin asked.

Estella nodded, clenched her fists, and gave a small wave, "Yes, we stand together for Justice. Mr. Gemini, with your vast knowledge, do you have any ideas on how to fundamentally change this situation?"

Estella knew her father was troubled by this matter lately, and apparently, the Scholars from the Celestial Principle School had no breakthrough either. Estella gazed at the vague Mr. Gemini, who felt very different from real life. The Mr. Gemini of the Round Table Conference always had an aura of reliability.

"Miss Aries, it's simple to say, but if achieved, could make a significant improvement," Li Xin mused aloud.

Estella paused, simple???

"The root of noble impunity is unrestrained privilege. There's a saying in my hometown, 'If a Prince violates the law, he is treated as the common people,'" Li Xin said. "While it can't fundamentally change things, adding this layer of restriction would greatly improve the situation."

Estella fell silent. She knew well the weight of those words, and also knew that in essence, the royal family enjoyed even more privileges.
