Chapter 233: Drinking Games
Hicks didn't mind and drew another transparent card that tested memory. You had to draw three of the same card at the same time. His memory was good, and this time he drew the same card.
Fu Quan watched as the crescent moon reached out to touch Hicks, his lips pressed tightly together, and placed the wine in front of her, saying, "I'll do it."
The crescent moon, resting its chin on its hand, looked at him. "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Fu Quan: "Would you like to give it a try?"
The crescent moon blinked: "Try what?"
Fu Quan snorted and flicked his finger on the disc, sending the marble flying directly to Anuo.
Secris reached out his hand to Anno, caught the bead, and then threw it into the disc, landing precisely in the hole.
Fu Quan failed to land the ball and will be punished.
He casually spun the dial, and the pointer landed on the option to take off clothes.
He took off his clothes and went to draw cards.
All three cards are different.
He turned the dial again, and it stopped on the option to take off clothes.
He only had one piece of clothing left, and without hesitation, he took it off, revealing his muscular upper body.
Upper Crescent Moon couldn't help but complain, "You're pretty accurate at this spin, if you take any more off you'll have to take off your pants."
Fu Quan hummed in agreement, thinking to himself that he would let him test his mettle tonight.
Karina took the disc, calculated for a few seconds, and then flicked the ball into the hole.
The winner can choose who to punish.
Karina's eyes fell on the retinue standing behind Anno.
She chose Obsidian, the drinker who was least likely to drink alcohol, but the drinks used for punishment were all strong liquor.
After drinking just one bottle of Obsidian, her face was already flushed.
Karina looked at the transparent cards; with the machine shuffling them so quickly, it was impossible to see any of the more than one hundred cards.
She chose to draw ten identical cards at the same time; the more difficult it was, the doubled the punishment would be.
She successfully drew ten cards.
He continued drinking, this time he had to drink three bottles.
Karina knew he couldn't hold his liquor after seeing him finish a bottle and get tipsy.
Once he falls, it's time to punish the next one.
In the following games, Karina never lost a game whenever it was her turn. Anno watched as the poor Obsidian was swaying from being forced to drink so much alcohol, yet she was still stubbornly holding on.
Seeing her younger brother being bullied like this, Bai Yan was not willing to back down.
He won every round, but Karina's alcohol tolerance was significantly better; she could drink several bottles without batting an eye.
By the time it was Anuo's turn to play, she was already intoxicated.
She has a good memory and has no problem with the gacha game, but the orbs are so numerous they make her dizzy, and she never manages to get them to go in. Later on, she started drawing cards randomly in the gacha game.
After Anno lost again, Obsidian was completely unable to stand, clinging to Baiyan. Baiyan, for his younger brother's pride, supported him to keep him from falling.
He thought to himself that if His Highness lost again, he would have to carry him back.
"Again!"
Anno put the bottle on the table, stood on the stool, and everyone watched her with smiles, letting her try again.
She became more courageous with each setback, but as the game progressed, the items changed and the difficulty kept increasing.
She appeared normal when drunk, but her mind was far from clear.
In the disc in front of her, two beads are now flying around, their trajectories even more unpredictable. While bouncing, she also has to avoid the other one; if she collides with it, she's basically doomed.
Anno stared at one of the spheres, and after aiming carefully, he flicked it.
The ball began to bounce in the dish, and everyone stared intently at it, their eyes almost crossing from looking so hard.
The bead spun around and lingered in the hole for a while before successfully entering.
"It's in! It's in!"
Anno jumped up with joy, and everyone cheered.
But there was still one bead. Anno continued to stare at the bead and flicked it with his finger.
The ball flew away, and the game was lost.
Double the punishment, she has to spin the wheel twice.
The first punishment was drinking. Secris went straight for the bottle in front of her, but she snatched it away and started chugging it down her throat.
After finishing the bottle, she threw it away and started spinning it a second time.
The pointer stopped on the option to take off clothes.
Anno quickly crossed her arms and placed them on the hem of her clothes, preparing to take off her only off-the-shoulder sweater.
"Hey hey hey!"
Everyone around the table reached out to stop Anno.
They were having fun, but they also knew that Anuo was still young, so they couldn't let her take off her clothes.
Secris took off his clothes to complete her punishment and immediately lifted Anno off the table.
"Your Highness, let's go back."
Anno struggled against him, "No, I want to play more!"
Secris picked up a bottle of wine from the table. "We'll drink with His Highness when we get back."
Anno stared at the wine in his hand for a while, then laughed, "Let's go back and drink it, let's go back and drink it!"
Secris picked her up, turned, and left the table, heading towards her residence.
Throughout the journey, Anno clung to Secris and kept fidgeting, sometimes grabbing his hair and pulling his horns, sometimes sitting on his shoulders. Secris remained calm throughout, letting Anno do as he pleased.
Bai Yan followed behind, carrying the drunken Obsidian.
Obsidian: "Brother, put me down, I can still drink!"
Bai Yan said disdainfully, "With your drinking capacity, you're almost on par with His Highness."
Anno: "Drink!"
"......."
When Anuo woke up, it was already the evening of the second day.
She stared at the ceiling above her head, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
She remembered that she had drunk some alcohol with Hicks and the others last night, and then slept all day.
At the front-line headquarters, surrounded by her own people, she drank freely. As a result, after waking up, she spent half an hour reviewing her drunken state in her consciousness network.
She couldn't help but watch. Although she could ignore the information in her consciousness network as long as she didn't actively seek it out, she would subconsciously review what happened the day before every time she woke up from drinking. As soon as she thought about it, the memories stored in her consciousness network would play out all at once for her to see.
After getting drunk a few times, she knew what kind of person she was when she was drunk, but each time she got drunk, there were new surprises.
"Really..."
Anno helplessly covered her eyes.
"Your Highness, you're awake."
Secris noticed that Anno was awake and came into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw Anno lying on the bed with her face covered.
Your Highness is embarrassed about being drunk yesterday. Your Highness... how adorable.
He slept in the living room last night. Although His Highness was drunk and pulled him to lie down together, His Highness is not yet of childbearing age, so he cannot serve him.
Upon seeing Cecil, Anno sat up in bed. "Cecil, what are you doing here?"
After asking the question, she immediately saw her own behavior from the previous day in her consciousness network.
She held onto Cecil and wouldn't let go, forcibly pinning him to the bed.
"Your Highness, you are drunk. I would like to stay with you."
Secris didn't say that Anno had dragged him along. As a member of the family, His Highness could do whatever he wanted to him, and he wasn't lying to please His Highness. He genuinely wanted to stay with His Highness.
As the eldest of the eight high-ranking relatives of Anno, he was tasked with sharing the princess's burdens and becoming her most capable subordinate.
His ability lies in leading troops into battle, and Her Majesty the King and Queen intend to cultivate him. They have been having him lead troops on the front lines all this time, and he will become Her Highness's most outstanding troop commander in the future.
But all of this came at a price; he gained the opportunity to gain experience, but he had much less time to spend with His Highness.
Therefore, during this period of truce, he wanted to cherish every moment he spent with His Highness.
Anno yawned, stretched, and prepared to get up and wash.
After drinking, she has to sleep for a whole day. Sleeping for too long makes her feel tired and listless.
Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Secris took the shoes from the side, squatted down by the bed, gently held her fair feet in his hands, and put the shoes on her.
Anno watched him put on her shoes, his movements so serious and meticulous, as if he were conducting some important military meeting.
She said, "Secrist, I can do it myself."
She always felt that Cecil should be doing more important things, rather than doing these trivial things around her.
Secris could sense Anno's consciousness; even without using the consciousness network to sense it, he could know what His Highness thought of him.
He looked up at her and said, "Your Highness, everything you do is of utmost importance to me."
Anno looked at the incredibly devout gaze he was giving her and smiled as she patted the top of his head.
She let Cecris spend the least amount of time with her, as for her family, staying by her side was the happiest thing for them.
