Chapter 124: Wife-dominated
"Do you remember when you first escaped from Sote to the Royal Court?"
"You mean your mating ceremony?"
Hearing her say that, Luka coughed uncomfortably, interlocked his five fingers with hers, and kissed the corner of her lips. "That time doesn't count."
He said slowly, "At the time, in exchange for rescuing Ellie, Libery asked Evan to do one thing, which was to lure Munakata away. Evan knew that if he did this, it would be difficult for him to survive, so he asked Libery to take care of his sister and exchange his own life for her future peace and security. He wrote all this in a letter and placed it in the safe at home with his savings. I learned the whole story from his letter when I sent Ans to investigate."
"So Evan was really dead then?"
"yes."
Qiao Suisui lowered her eyes in silence. She'd previously treated this place like a game, automatically blocking out her feelings about the deaths of others. But as time went on, she realized she could no longer treat the people around her as mere pieces of paper or virtual images. Especially after hearing Ellie's story, she was unsure how to evaluate Zongfang's disregard for human life.
Luka noticed her complicated feelings, patted her head, and continued, "It's all in the past. What's important now is that you are fully capable of helping Ellie."
He knew that Sui Sui's original intention in establishing Zizai was to help the weak band together for protection, and Ellie was a perfect example. She needed an event to build her reputation and share her true beliefs with everyone. Luka had put Ellie's name on the list precisely because he was planning for her.
"Aren't all females protected by the Women's Protection Association? Why is no one taking care of Ellie?" asked Qiao Susu.
"Logically, the Female Protection Association should be involved, but due to the endless emergence of inferior artificial females in the past few years, the Female Protection Association has not paid much attention to management."
Luka's description was embellished; he didn't tell her how filthy the outside world truly was. But Qiao Suisui understood. A closer look would reveal that genetically inferior females weren't considered by males when hatching cubs. Add to that intellectual disabilities and other issues, and they were of little value to males, making females like Ellie highly likely to become mere playthings for their own sexual gratification.
"Ellie is very likely not an isolated case," Qiao Suisui said with determination in her eyes, "I'm going to find a way to change their current situation."
Luka responded, gazing at her tenderly, a hint of pride in his eyes. His hand rested on her back, caressing the distinctly defined scapula. He often found Sui Sui magical; though she was frail and delicate, her small body seemed to harbor immense energy.
Qiao Sui Sui was still thinking, and suddenly asked, "Since Ash agreed to Evan's conditions, why did Ellie end up in this situation?"
Luka paused for two seconds and said, "He did fulfill his promise."
He'd simply chosen the most time-saving and labor-saving method. He'd ordered Ellie to be given a large pension, and he'd never bothered with her again. He knew that revealing Ellie's story would inevitably implicate Liberi, and there was no point in covering up for his good brother now. He figured he had plenty of ways to win her favor anyway.
Just as Luka expected, Qiao Susu was somewhat surprised by Liberi's behavior of abandoning her after she had done her job.
This man was always gentle and considerate in her presence, the ultimate soothing and coaxing womanizer, even quietly seducing her without even a hint of power. She almost forgot that Liberi had won the throne. Such a man rarely showed any compassion; his ruthless and decisive nature was his.
The aftermath of this incident continued into the evening.
Qiao Susu's palace is divided into the outer hall and the inner hall. The inner hall is where she usually lives. At this time, Liberi, who had been busy all day, stood in front of the door of the inner hall and knocked softly.
"Sui Sui, let me in. It's my turn to accompany you today, isn't it?"
Qiao Sui Sui sat on the bed with her arms folded, and said to the door outside, "I've changed my mind, okay? I just want to sleep alone tonight."
Lebery stood by the door and in the few seconds of silence quickly reviewed what he had done in the past few days to make sure that he had not done anything to make her angry.
"Baby, I was wrong." No matter what the problem is, it's always right to admit your mistake first.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I was wrong about everything."
“.”
Qiao Suisui was speechless. She ran over barefoot and opened the door forcefully. Seeing the smiling man, she was furious.
"You're quick to admit your mistakes, but you don't even know what you did wrong."
Libery took her little hand that was pointing at him in anger, put it to his lips and kissed it, saying, "Okay, then tell me what I did wrong, and I promise I won't do it again."
So Qiao Sui Sui told him about Ellie's situation. Liberi's hand hooked into her hair, twisting it between his fingers. He listened absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on her jade-white skin. Finally, after she finally finished, he said "oh" and then slowly raised his eyes and asked, "Who is Ellie?"
Qiao Susu took a deep breath and slammed the door shut.
"You go to bed by yourself today!"
No matter how the man tried to coax her standing at the door, she ignored him and just covered her head and fell asleep.
The next day, the Sun of the Oslan Empire, who had been rejected, was in a very low mood during the entire meeting with the cabinet.
"This is roughly the situation this year. We will have new breakthroughs in the future. Sun, do you have any other instructions?" One person asked respectfully and waited for a long time before hearing a faint voice coming from above his head.
"Lord, I heard that you and your spouse seem to be very affectionate?"
The man was stunned, not understanding how this related to the report just now, but he still answered cautiously: "Ah, yes, yes."
Lebery leaned forward and asked, "What's the solution?"
"Ah? Females are delicate, so just coax her more. When she's in a bad mood, listen more and talk less, and you won't make any mistakes."
Libery thought, what a lousy trick! Didn't she do the same thing last night, and she didn't even get in? "So if she tells you about other females now, should you say you remember or not?"
The minister was stunned. Even governing a country was more difficult than this. After hesitating for a long time, Libery, unable to find any constructive suggestions, quickly ended the meeting. He first ordered his men to check all females named "Ellie". After much deliberation, he finally discovered the problem.
Libery took the photo given by his men and saw Ons going in and out of Ellie's house in the photo. What else did he not understand? He spun the ice in his glass and laughed angrily.
It turns out that he was 'backstabbed' by his brother.
With a single stroke of his pen, Libery assigned the entire year's workload to the military. He doubted Scorsese would have time to spend with her this month.
Meanwhile, Qiao Suisui had her men secretly guarding Ellie's home, ready to apprehend any brown bear beastmen they spotted. She herself used the Transfiguration Pill to transform into Ellie's appearance. Losing her idiotic demeanor and imbued with Qiao Suisui's characteristic agility, Ellie now emerged as a true beauty.
Qiao Susu planned to sneak into the Women's Protection Association, but was followed halfway.
