Chapter 220
Ling Wu paused for a moment as she put the handkerchief away, but quickly resumed her normal movement.
Are you asking this question so soon?
Then she would have no choice but to treat everyone equally.
"During the day, my brother would find a teacher and Sister Luanjing for Awu; at night, my brother..."
Ling Wu paused deliberately, and it was during this pause that she noticed a momentary erratic movement in the blond man's steady breathing.
It turns out that Landric at night is also human.
Landric waited in vain for the girl's response. He appeared calm, but in reality, he could no longer contain his anxiety and spoke again: "...How was your brother's evening?"
Lingwu's gaze fell on the flowers by the window. The pink and white roses would turn dark purple every night.
Does the dark purple rose represent Landric before us?
Seeing that she remained silent, Landric's already violent emotions intensified, and his emerald green eyes darkened further.
“My brother is gentler at night,” the girl explained softly.
As soon as those words were spoken, Landric was utterly defeated.
The savagery in his eyes vanished, replaced by a faint smile.
“Then A-Wu prefers Bai…” Before he could finish speaking, he saw the girl look up at him.
"Awu prefers her current brother."
Landric met her gaze with his emerald eyes, and for a moment he forgot his true identity.
Because those amber eyes are just too beautiful.
Like a hot spring that no one has ever set foot in on a snowy night, it alone brings warmth amidst the chill of everything else.
Landric's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He lowered his eyelids to hide the panic in his eyes and avoided looking at her again.
He didn't even take the medicine bottle with him before stepping out of the room.
Good night, brother. May the goddess of fortune always shine upon you.
Landric could clearly hear the girl behind him lifting her skirt, her footsteps light and melodious.
You can also hear her sweet voice, just like always.
And there's his own heartbeat, right there in his chest.
Landric exhaled a breath of stale air, then turned around and naturally opened his arms, tightly encircling the girl who was running and lifting her skirt.
“Celestia, I hope you will always keep this choice and never change it,” he murmured.
The blond man lowered his head, and from his angle, all he could see was the raven-black hair of the girl in his arms. His eyes, like the water of an emerald lake, shimmered with a gentle golden light.
He gently inhaled the cool fragrance emanating from her, his large hand tightening slightly before loosening, then he took the girl's hand and leaned down to kiss the back of her fair hand.
"The glory of the gods will always shine upon Princess Celestia."
His golden hair seemed to glow in the moonlight streaming through the window, and for a moment he seemed more like the god he was talking about.
—The god of this game.
Only after the man released her hand did his bowed posture return to its usual noble and upright state.
Lingwu then gracefully lifted her skirt with both hands and bowed, saying, "Good night, Brother Wang."
Goodnight, Awu.
Landric turned and left.
Goodnight, my beloved Celestia.
——
After confirming that Landric's presence had vanished in the castle and that he was unlikely to return tonight, Lingwu picked up the potion bottle.
By the bright moonlight, she examined the glass bottle in her hand, which still retained a bitter smell.
In the game, potions do not leave any liquid residue, but there are special potion workshops in the game to test the ingredients of potions.
Lingwu opened the wardrobe.
The wardrobe of the princess of the Rose Kingdom is full of gorgeous but impractical princess dresses.
Lingwu picked out the simplest dark-colored long dress from among them, and then cut the hem of the dress to make it easier to walk.
Then she took off the princess dress and put on a long dress that she had re-cut herself.
He then tore down a vine from outside the window and used it to tie the medicine bottle. Before tucking it into his sleeve, just in case, he tied the excess vine from the medicine bottle to his wrist.
After doing all that, she stood by the window, waiting for the charlatan who claimed to be a god to arrive.
Bathed in moonlight, the blond man evaded all guards and arrived as scheduled.
"Is my precious and lovely little princess waiting for Lady Luck to arrive?" The man leaned against the windowsill, revealing only a pair of tender blue eyes.
Lingwu took two steps back.
[Ding, Princess's favorability decreased by 1]
"..."
Alcipe coughed lightly, then used his elbows to push himself up the windowsill and climbed in from the outside.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, you didn't wait for Lady Luck, but you received divine salvation."
He stretched out his hand again, and a glowing Bible floated in his hand.
Against the moonlight, his expression was obscured, but he was confident that this time he would convince the little princess even more than he had done the night before, when he sat on the ground!
Especially the little princess who had never seen an outsider in the castle.
Although she is somewhat arrogant, a bit wicked, and a little difficult to win over...
[Ding, Princess's favorability in the castle -10]
Alcipe choked on her breath, then sighed softly, as if looking at a disobedient child, "Does Your Highness still not believe me?"
“Who would believe a conman who climbs through a window?” Ling Wu replied softly.
Alcipe's fingers stiffened for a moment. He glanced at the glowing, floating Bible and said with a helpless expression, "Then, my sincere and straightforward believer, can you tell me what I should do to make you believe me?"
[Ding, Princess's favorability in the castle -10]
"I am not a believer in any god." The girl's gentle voice carried a hint of coldness.
Alcipe looked at the favorability rating, which had dropped to -71, and felt like crying.
He put away the Bible, and a crown suddenly appeared in his hand. Then, under Ling Wu's gaze, he put the crown on his head.
He lowered his eyes slightly, praising you gently with a smile, "My loyal believer, you have indeed lived up to my expectations. Even other gods have not been able to take you away from my glory."
"I am the goddess of fortune," he firmly persuaded.
The atmosphere was tense, but Alcipe wasn't worried because the familiar and frustrating favorability notification sound didn't ring!
But he didn't get to see the sweet smile from the girl in front of him.
All he received was her cold, indifferent glance, and the slow, uttered words from her red lips: "Didn't you say that Lady Luck is a woman, Mr. Liar?"
"..." Alcipe, who had been buried in the pit he had dug himself, gradually froze with a smile.
He was slightly deflated, his voice low: "Alright, then, can the clever little princess tell me what I should do for you to believe I am a god?"
Lingwu answered without hesitation: "Take me away without disturbing my brother, and send me back to the castle before the roses turn pink and white. Then I will trust you."
Even though Alcipe had already planned to do so, he still felt a sense of frustration.
It's different for me to take her away myself than for her to "blackmail" me into leaving!
However, since we share the same ultimate goal, then let's leave it at that.
"Of course, my clever and cunning princess."
"Thank you, you hypocritical and dishonest liar."
The young girl lifted her skirt and bowed gracefully.
