“No way!” Effie refused decisively.

Marrying a young, blossoming sister to a scheming ninety-year-old man is out of the question.

Well... although it seems like my sister really wants to get married.

Admiral Effie felt a pang of sadness as she recalled her sister's earlier gesture of revealing her kiss mark.

.

Even the smallest movement is crystal clear to her.

"I think it's a good idea." Marrying off that annoying little girl who's always clinging to her sister will make him the king of the Field family, won't it? The pirate captain chimed in enthusiastically.

"I didn't ask you!" Effie snapped. "Shut up!"

Why can't I ask? Although my innocence remains intact and I can't demand that he take responsibility, the handsome pirate captain Sith already considers himself a member of the Field family.

He was completely unfazed by Effie's outburst. He smiled at Shen Wangshu, who was also smiling, and then said sincerely to Effie, "Alice likes him, Effie. Don't you want Alice to marry the man she loves? Do you like to see her sad and troubled? Your conflict with Karl will only leave Alice in a dilemma, at a loss."

By the end, Sith's face had become somewhat serious.

Shen Wangshu, however, saw through this solemnity a cunning heart.

Effie was stunned, her lips twitching but she couldn't utter a word.

"You like him that much?" Effie's heart ached terribly. She looked up at the blonde girl who was looking up at her and said softly, "How could your sister make things difficult for you?"

But she knew that during this time, her sister had been trying her best not to show how much she cared about Karls in front of her, in order to tolerate her unreasonable behavior. Effie liked her sister's concern for her, but when her sister's words were exposed, she felt ashamed and murmured, "Alice, don't be angry with me. I just... can't bear to part with you."

She knew that Alice would eventually get married, but she hoped that day would be later, much later.

If Alice leaves her, she will truly be all alone in the Fields.

He was left alone in the empty house, waiting for his younger sister to visit him every few days.

“I like Xuanluo, but I also like my sister.” Shen Wangshu looked up and saw a bright tear glistening in Aifei’s dark golden eyes. She said softly, “I can’t bear to part with my sister either.”

What is the difference between Effie's love for Alice and that of Carls?

"Marriage, okay?" Effie trembled, looking down at her guilty sister, and said with difficulty, "But don't rush it. In a while... I'll give you the grandest wedding, okay?"

She wanted her younger sister to stay with her a little longer, to grow up a bit more, so she wouldn't have to worry. She also wanted to use this time to see more clearly Kars's feelings, to see if his so-called love was just an act. However, she didn't want her sister to become burdened with worries. After thinking for a moment, a doting smile appeared in her eyes, and she said softly, "I won't stop you from marrying the person you love."

She paused, then said casually, "You're only fifteen, you haven't seen enough of the world. Don't regret it later."

My sister has not met many men, which is why she was captivated by Carl. However, what worries Effie is whether she will regret it when her sister grows up and meets more outstanding men.

She regrets getting married so early, being locked up by a man who isn't the one she loves most.

"No matter how many people I meet, I only love Xuanluo." Seeing that Karls' face darkened as soon as Effie said this, fearing that something terrible might happen to the Field family, Shen Wangshu hurriedly tilted her head up and said earnestly, "Perhaps I will meet many other excellent men, but none of them are my Xuanluo. No matter how excellent or charming they are, what does it matter to me?"

She paused, glanced at Effie who was silent with her eyes down, and at Sith who was lost in thought, and said softly, "Take Sith for example, his childhood sweetheart, he's never liked anyone else."

.

They met when they were young, but over the years, Sith has never liked another woman.

Shen Wangshu admitted that Aifei was very outstanding, but how many outstanding women were there in the interstellar world?

Even youthful feelings can't distract people from their own attention, can they?

Effie was speechless.

“If you like someone, of course you’ll love them for life, and only them,” Sith said with a smile, seemingly casually.

Shen Wangshu felt incredibly selfless for helping this pirate captain gain so much goodwill.

"I understand your feelings, and I won't bring this up again," Effie said softly after a long silence.

"And what about my heart?" Pirates love to relentlessly pursue their targets.

Effie pretended not to hear.

However, he didn't beat him to a pulp, and Sith's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew Effie's coldness and hardness; a smile played on his lips as he clutched his chest and coughed.

Seeing that Aifei remained unmoved, Shen Wangshu felt that the pirate captain had a long way to go. She held Karls's hand and asked Aifei with bright eyes, "Can I really marry Xuanluo?"

Seeing Effie nod, she turned and pounced on her sister, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. Seeing Effie looking at her helplessly, she eagerly snuggled into her arms, rolling around and acting spoiled, making her extremely happy. This joy of letting go of all burdens made Effie even more regretful of the awkwardness she had caused her sister when she tried to stop her earlier. She put her arm around Effie's waist and laughed, "Don't fall."

Let's just fall out of Effie's arms...

A pirate captain waited expectantly.

Karls, however, was not one who only knew how to hope. He reached out and pulled his little girl from Effie's arms. Seeing that she seemed particularly happy today, she jumped into his arms, pouted her petal-like lips and kissed him. He immediately gave Effie a smug, cold smile.
