**Chapter 86: The Aunt Who Came to Collect**
Sylvara had just finished her livestream, a wave of exhilaration washing over her as she announced the three lucky winners. The names flashed on the screen: “LilSapling, LongLiveSinglehood, and ILoveYouBoss.” With a bright smile, she encouraged them to send their addresses privately so she could send them their lemons.
“And to the first hundred viewers, remember to message me your addresses too! Especially those usernames starting with ‘Lady.’ I have candy waiting for you!” Her cheerful demeanor was infectious, and she waved goodbye to her audience before cutting the stream.
As she began slicing the cooled candy, she felt a sense of accomplishment. This was the moment when her high-end humanoid robot truly proved its worth. It seamlessly extracted the addresses from the Starnet interface, packed the lemons, and organized everything meticulously.
Sylvara filled glass jars with colorful candy pieces, her heart swelling with pride. She had set aside a special portion for Agares, her mentor, while ensuring that each of his subordinates received both a small jar of candy and a jar of lemon slices. Agares’s package was the largest, and she instructed the robot to send his first before delivering the rest.
The robot obeyed, carefully picking up the packages and departing the villa. Sylvara stretched her arms and settled at the dining table, lifting her plate. Just as she speared a rib with her fork, a loud barrage of knocks echoed through the villa, rattling the door.
With the rib still clamped between her teeth, she set down her fork and opened the door, only to be met by her aunt, Seraphine. The aristocratic woman swept into the room without waiting for an invitation, her eyes gleaming with avarice as she spotted the lemons and candy. She snatched them up, stuffing everything into her spatial button, her voice laced with indignation. “Sylvara, how could you block your own aunt? You know a Level-7 Plant Healer! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Come home with me. Forget about military school!”
Sylvara closed the door behind her, feeling a mix of irritation and disbelief as she followed her aunt into the kitchen. Watching Seraphine greedily pillage the room, she spoke with calm resolve. “Aunt, you worked tirelessly to get both Miralys and me into this school. How can we just abandon it now?”
Seraphine, undeterred, continued her looting spree, not even sparing the food on the table as she swept it into her spatial button. “Only you will return with me. Miralys is staying right where she is.”
Sylvara’s fingers relaxed slightly, a light crack echoing in the quiet kitchen. “If she isn’t going back, why should I?”
