Chapter 18: My sight is glued to Fuyou’s vague presence…

Fu You looked in the mirror and put on the long snake earrings.

The ruby ​​held in the snake's mouth sways with a flowing luster, complementing the luxurious jewels adorning the collar.

——Today is the day of his and Flora’s engagement ceremony.

Fu You had already changed into a custom-made dress. The dark blue velvet embroidered vest tightly wrapped around the young man's flexible waist, and the waist and abdomen lines were incredibly beautiful. His long, gold-plated hair was tied up high, and the ends of the hair hung down on his thin and straight back, making him look noble and elegant.

An extremely beautiful face was reflected in the mirror.

Fu You looked at herself in the mirror indifferently, then raised her hand to pick up the rouge box on the table and lightly applied some on her cheeks and lips to cover up the sickly paleness.

Just like an apple that is starting to rot, it can be restored to its former glory by applying a layer of shiny red wax to the skin.

Just as he put away his rouge box, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Master, the cloaks needed for the banquet have been prepared. Would you like to change into them now?" A male servant with an unfamiliar face walked in.

Fu You didn't turn around. He continued to look at the mirror. The servant in the mirror stood behind him, looking very respectful. Fu You slightly lowered his thick eyelashes and asked, "Why isn't Charlie here?"

"Mr. Charlie is currently reviewing the details of the engagement banquet with the Admiral's housekeeper and can't make it right now." The servant, head bowed, clutching a velvet cloak, said respectfully, "He specifically instructed me to carefully assist you in changing your clothes."

Seeing that Fu You didn't say anything, he walked forward, stood behind Fu You, and wanted to cover his master's thin shoulders with the cloak.

The dark velvet is intricately layered, adorned with tin beads and bright red gems, just like the stars falling in the night sky, sparkling and beautiful.

The servant lowered his head, his hands hidden under his cloak. He looked at Fu You's white neck, which was exposed to him without any defense, and raised his hand secretly.

Under the cloth, the sharp blade is faintly visible.

The silver-white blade light was like a line, stretched by the light, and crossed Fu You's slender neck. But Fu You seemed unaware of the impending danger and just fiddled with the beads hanging from his cloak.

A hint of cruelty flashed in the servant's eyes, and he raised his knife and stabbed Fu You's back with all his strength.

In a flash, Fu You suddenly turned sideways and grabbed the servant's wrist!

His palms were thin, his knuckles long and slender, and his smooth fingertips were free of calluses. Yet, even such a beautiful hand seemed to possess immense strength, instantly causing the servant to cry out in pain, his knees buckling as he fell to the ground.

Fu You snatched the knife from the other's hand with ease. He narrowed his eyes and slowly moved his gaze from the silver blade to the assassin's face, which was wrinkled in pain - a face that looked to be only in his early twenties, a face that he had no impression of in his mind.

Fu You's thin, pale red lips curved slightly as he placed the blade against the man's face. "Young sir, who commissioned you to kill me?"

The young man said nothing. Fu You smiled faintly, and with a push of his fingertips, the blade pierced his skin, sending a few drops of blood spurting out.

The other party trembled, but still did not speak.

"You won't tell me? Then why don't you let me guess?" Fu You's gaze met the bloodshot, his dark green pupils piercing with an utterly cold icy intensity. He leaned forward, his thin lips close to the young man's ear, and whispered, "Is it the Duke's Mansion? Or Vaughan Manor? Or perhaps..."

However, the last guess was not uttered yet.

With a "bang".

The door of the room was pushed open again from the outside!

Fu You frowned slightly.

Charlie rushed in in a panic, his face extremely pale. However, when he saw the posture of Fu You and the assassin dressed as a servant, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat: "Sir, you..."

"What's the matter?" Fu You put away the knife and looked up at him.

This question brought Charlie back to consciousness. The tall and strong beta suddenly remembered something and his face turned even paler. He hurried to Fu You and said, "My lord, listen to me. You must change your clothes quickly and leave here with me through the secret passage! The farther away the better!"

Charlie knelt down in front of Fu You and grabbed Fu You's cold hands tightly. "The Longbardi Palace has joined forces with the other two Grand Dukes and surrounded this place. They want, want..."

For some reason, Charlie gripped Fuyou's hand very hard, instantly leaving a deep red mark on the delicate white skin.

He looked into Fu You's emerald eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and he uttered the second half of his sentence: "...said he would kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very violent banging on the door outside the room!

The sound was so loud that it seemed as if the whole house trembled. Charlie held Fu You's hand even tighter: "After the other servants heard the news, they all fled for their lives."

He stared closely into Fu You's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Master, only I can help you now."

…

Fu You looked at the other person. Even though the crisis was imminent, he didn't show any panic or distraction at all.

There was a chaotic noise outside the house, but it was eerily quiet inside.

This quiet atmosphere lasted for about a minute, which seemed to last a century. Charlie's heart was in his throat, and he looked at Fu You nervously.

Until Fu You slowly pulled his hand out from his palm.

"Thank you, Charlie." He lowered his golden eyelashes, his eyes revealing a sense of vulnerability and helplessness. "At this time, you actually chose to stick with me. I am really touched. I will always remember your great and loyal deeds."

Charlie's heart beat hard with excitement.

A flash of wild excitement flashed across his eyes, but the expression on his face grew heavier. Beta once again grasped his beautiful Master's hand, his fingertips unable to resist gently caressing the delicate skin.

If you get close to things that cannot be touched, fire will burn the dead wood and a hurricane will sweep in.

Charlie's Adam's apple rolled again, and he lowered his eyelids, looking extremely respectful, but his voice was strangely hoarse: "Of course, I will always be by your side, my master."

…

Since it is an escape, it is not advisable to make too much noise.

Along the way, the two did not even take an airship. Fu You changed out of his gorgeous engagement dress and put on an ermine-grey robe, covered with a dark cloak to hide his overly striking blond features.

Charlie always half-armed his shoulders, protecting him against his chest. From the outside, the two looked like a very close and ordinary couple.

Since leaving Beaumont House, Fu You had never spoken a word. Charlie thought his pampered master was frightened, and his heart was filled with pity.

In fact, Fu You was just talking to the system in the consciousness space.

[System, have you confirmed that Lawn has received the photos?]

[Yes, host.]

Under his cloak, Fu You revealed a barely perceptible smile: [Thank you, you are very useful.]

The host's rare sincere praise made the system shy and fell silent.

Fu You didn't care. Although his situation became embarrassing, he was in a good mood.

——Everything is on track and in line with his expectations.

Knight Bo is out fighting pirates, and Flora alone cannot compete with the forces of the three grand dukes.

Before the outcome of the fight was determined, Oberia III, sitting firmly in the palace, would not intervene. He longed for his powerful nobles to fight to the bitter end, so that he could more firmly regain the scattered power within his own grasp.

The Admiral's Mansion and the Beaumont family will definitely be defeated.

But what happens once Knight Bo comes back?

Especially...

[System, have you confirmed that Blake has returned to the first star?]

【confirm. 】

The smile on Fu You's lips suddenly widened.

Black, the leader of the pirates, will definitely meet the Knight Bo who is out on a expedition.

He has complete confidence in the male protagonist, who will definitely persuade Knight Bo to join forces with him to overthrow the Oberia royal power.

Therefore, the Knight of the Earl would have ample reason to attack the Grand Dukes who had offended the honor of his Admiral's Mansion. After absorbing the three families and strengthening his strength, he would be able to directly aim for the throne.

And Genna probably hates him to death now, and he and Blake will most likely hit it off. With his cooperation inside and outside the palace, the hero's success is only a matter of time.

At this point, the empire will completely get rid of the luxurious and corrupt rule of the aristocracy and regain vitality under the leadership of the male protagonist.

As for him...

Fu You leaned against Charlie's chest, thinking casually:

When things develop to that point, his mission of whitewashing himself will be a piece of cake.

Charlie plans to take Fu You back to the slums where he grew up to hide - there are all kinds of people there, the security there is chaotic, and it is a very suitable place to hide.

As for whether he has other thoughts, it is hard to say.

But as soon as they reached the intersection of the main urban area, they were stopped by two guards who were patrolling nearby.

Charlie noticed the surname Longbardi on the sleeve of one of the guards—this meant he was most likely from a branch of the Longbardi family. These minor nobles often sent their young men to the guards to gain experience so they could eventually secure a position in the military.

Under the current circumstances, it is really a narrow road for enemies to meet!

"Hey, you two, please show me your citizenship IDs!"

"Sorry, sirs." Charlie reacted quickly. He hugged Fu You tighter and showed a flattering expression: "My wife and I are from Pang An Star. We came to Shou Star for our honeymoon. I didn't know that we need to carry our ID with us on Shou Star."

"And what bad luck! Our communicator is broken... Commander, you can see how much of a threat we two unarmed civilians could pose. My wife is very weak from the climate and needs to get back to her lodgings to rest." Charlie waved the broken communicator in front of the two men, then leaned in and secretly slipped a gem into the guard's palm. "Commander, please be kind."

The gem was taken from Fuyou's engagement dress and was of excellent quality. The garrison glanced down and then looked at Charlie.

He stuffed the gem into his pocket.

Charlie showed a look of relief and was about to leave with the silent Fuyou. However, just as they took a step forward, another garrison soldier suddenly spoke.

"That won't do. I have to see your wife's face." The guy with the Longbardi family mark on his cuffs stared at Fu You's back.

Charlie tightened his grip on Fu You's knuckles, thinking that the other party had seen through some flaw.

But when he turned around and saw the other person's eyes, his mood instantly sank to the bottom.

——The man’s gaze was glued to the skin faintly visible under Fuyou’s robe, hot and intimate.

Because of his disguise, Fu You had plundered the robe he was wearing from the servants' wardrobes. It was a dress-like style, suitable for everyday omega wear.

However, Fu You was much taller than the average omega, and his robe barely covered his knees, leaving his two beautiful calves completely exposed.

Her skin was a cool white, smooth, and delicate white with a radiant warmth. Her legs were well-proportioned, slender, and long, with a graceful curve of calf leading to a slender wrist that looked perfectly suited to being held in someone's hand...

Even though you can't see her face, the two exposed legs are enough to be sensational.

The guard who had received the gem saw his companion's expression and knew what he was planning. He sighed and said, "You're here again, John! We're still on a mission!"

"What's the big deal, Joe? Who knows when that damned Earl of Beaumont will show up here?" The guard named John whistled and walked up to Fu You with a smile: "But now, there is indeed a charming lady standing in front of me!"

Charlie's heart sank.

He looked at the guard named Joe next to him, hoping that after accepting his gift, he would stop John's despicable behavior.

But Qiao just stood there watching, and even after his gaze lingered on Fu You's legs, there was a look of eagerness in his eyes!

"Madam, put your husband behind you and come play with us!" John laughed and reached out to pull Fu You into his arms.

The thin body wrapped in the cloak seemed to be frightened and trembled slightly. John laughed even more wildly. He carried the omega who kept pushing him away on his shoulders and strode towards the duty room not far away!

Joe followed closely behind, not even giving Charlie a spare glance as he was pushed to the ground.

Charlie was shaking with anger. He gritted his teeth and looked at the backs of the two guards who kidnapped Fu You, with bloodshot eyes filled with anger.

He loosened his clenched fists that were bleeding, stood up suddenly, and was ready to beat up those two bastards who dared to covet his master!

Before he could rush forward.

He saw the weak Fu You, who was restrained on someone's shoulders, suddenly raised his head.

The cloak covered the other person's narrow eyebrows and eyes, so that he could not see the other person's gaze at the moment.

However, on the half of the face that was exposed, white and cold, the bright-colored thin lips slowly curved into a moving arc.

Fu You might have looked at him, or she might not have. But that beautiful, faint smile was enough to instantly extinguish Charlie's gloomy anger.

Charlie stopped moving all of a sudden, like a large dog whose leash was pulled by its owner, standing there in a daze.

Fu You curved his lips into a deeper arc. At the same time, he raised his index finger to his lips and said silently to Charlie who was standing not far away:

"Be good and wait for me to come back."
