Chapter 211: Isn’t this bad? Chapter 211: Isn’t this bad? After that, Shane completely put aside the matter with Lymco as if he had never seen the person, brought a consolation gift, and visited the Princess’s bedchamber.
And as always, there was still a large group of noble young lords waiting inside the Princess’s bedchamber, seemingly waiting for her to turn over a card, idling away their time day in, day out.
Shane really wanted to ask these young lords whether idling their time away here was better than keeping a lover outside, or did they truly believe that patience would reveal the moon through the breaking clouds, convinced that their “sincerity” would eventually move the Princess?
With the time wasted here, wouldn’t it be better to think of some strategy, like playing the hero to rescue the damsel in distress? That would surely be more useful than idly waiting around, right?
Knowing that the Princess would not see any of them, yet still lingering here in the hope of catching an extra glance from her in the crowd?
Well then, why don’t they just go home and bring a peach to get noticed by the Princess in minutes?
As Shane sarcastically mused, he walked into the bedchamber’s grand hall with a poker face, drawing the attention of all the young noble lords.
They all looked at Shane, their eyes brimming with grinding teeth-like emotions, as if they couldn’t wait to drive Shane out of there.
Unfortunately, after yesterday’s audience, everything Shane had done in the Royal Palace seemed to be known among the Nobles, and even the commoners were now well aware of an Adventurer named Shane who had dealt with the Old Demon Clan Faction that had caused chaos and severe losses in the Royal Capital ten years prior, and they were currently talking about it with great relish.
In such a situation, coupled with what Shane had done to them before (throwing stones), these weak and delicate nobles wouldn’t dare come looking for trouble again, right?
So, a group of noble sons could only watch Shane with resentment and envy in their eyes, yet mixed with fear, not daring to approach or seek trouble with Shane further.
Shane walked through the resentful and envious gazes of these noble sons with the poise of a dragon and the power of a tiger. With the Female Knights of the Holy Sword Knights respectfully saluting him, he was unhindered as he entered deeper into the bedchamber, arriving in front of the Princess’s room.
But at that moment, Shane suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Because, from the room before him, Shane perceived Magic Power other than Luoqi’s.
“Is there someone else?”
Shane was quite surprised.
It was his first time visiting Luoqi, and there was someone else present.
Moreover, this Magic Power seemed somewhat familiar to Shane; it felt like they had met and even spoken recently.
“Well, you can’t blame me for not visiting then, can you? You’re the one with guests, right?”
Shane’s eyes shifted slightly, and then he promptly found himself delighted instead of surprised.
With a guest present, he couldn’t just blindly interrupt.
So, if he left now, surely they couldn’t bother him about this matter afterward, could they?
Yes, that’s what he’d do.
With that thought, Shane quietly put down the box of sweets he was holding and then prepared to sneak away quietly.
At the same time, the door to Luoqi’s room was opened.
Thanks to this, Shane, who was ready to slip away, came face to face with the person inside.
An awkward atmosphere immediately began to spread.
“What do you plan to do now, Lord Shane?”
A voice, barely containing laughter, reached Shane’s ears.
The person who had opened the door stood before Shane, revealing a face trying to suppress a smile and a pair of sparkling eyes.
“…Isn’t this Princess Liyadella?”
Shane smiled awkwardly.
The person who appeared inside the door was none other than Luoqi’s sister, Liyadella.
Unexpectedly, Princess Liyadella had come to visit Luoqi, no wonder Shane found the Magic Power inside the room slightly familiar.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d come.” Liyadella said teasingly, “I hope I’m not interrupting you too much?”
“Of course not,” Shane replied without hesitation: “I’m the one interrupting the two Princesses; I’ll leave now and wish you both a pleasant talk.”
With that, Shane promptly tried to make his escape.
But Shane had barely turned around when a delicate yet surprisingly strong hand clasped tightly onto his shoulder.
“Oh, no need to rush,” Liyadella said while tightly gripping Shane’s shoulder, her captivating smile beaming, “Since you’re already here, why not join us for a little chat?”
A reluctant expression instantly crossed Shane’s face.
His instinct told him that this Princess was definitely up to something.
Or rather, she was already causing mischief.
It seemed she wanted to tease them both with whatever was between Shane and Luoqi, finding joy in the game.
Although they had met for the first time yesterday, the curious and playful look in her eyes when she gazed at him told Shane that the Princess was certainly that kind of person.
Unfortunately for Shane, there were three types of people he truly feared.
One: Little girls who coo without a second word.
Because he couldn’t resist them.
Two: Women who offer favors without a second word.
Because he couldn’t resist them.
Three: Women who show interest or curiosity without a second word and might be preparing to offer unwarranted favors.
Because that was too cliché, and Shane could easily guess what would happen next. Then he’d predict that, in the end, he still wouldn’t be able to resist.
As luck would have it, Liyadella was the third type.
So, Shane genuinely wanted to run away.
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Shane expressed this very cautiously, hoping the Princess would understand.
“What’s wrong with it, what’s wrong with it?”
Far from understanding, the Princess didn’t even seem to get it and was all smiles as if she were a cheerful pigeon ready to do what she might to Shane.
“I have something urgent.”
Shane could only try to flee.
“There’s nothing too big that this Princess can’t handle for you.”
Liyadella said with overwhelming confidence, effectively blocking all of Shane’s escape routes.
“Stop wasting time, just come in.”
The next second, Shane was dragged into the room by Liyadella.
Upon entering the room, Shane immediately saw a stunningly beautiful female knight guarding an empty seat and Luoqi sitting opposite that seat, her face filled with helpless resignation.
Shane and Luoqi exchanged looks, each able to see the words the other most wanted to say in that moment.
(Why did you come in?)
Luoqi’s eyes conveyed such a sentiment.
(You think I wanted to?)
Shane similarly conveyed with his look.
(Now we’re in for it. Big Sister is going to tease us about our situation, better brace yourself mentally.)
Luoqi once again communicated this message through her gaze.
Shane didn’t want to say more, his eyes now only held a scornful “Ha.”
And so, Shane and Luoqi fell into Liyadella’s hands.
