When Yili opened his eyes, he saw Ishtar sitting beside his bed and was startled: "What are you doing sitting here? You scared me."
"This is my bedroom. Is there anything strange about me being here?" Ishta looked at Yili with a smile.
Yili coughed twice: "No, it's just scary."
"I'm really sorry, Princess, you won't be scary next time once you get used to it." Ishtar's words made Yili silent.
Great, it’s not scary anymore once you get used to it, and I have no intention of changing at all.
Yili complained silently in his heart.
Her stomach rumbled with hunger and her eyes fell on Ishtar.
Ishtar smiled gently: "Are you hungry, Princess?"
"That's not a waste... No, I'm definitely not hungry either."
Yili looked at Ishtar in front of him with a double-minded look.
His childish and face-saving appearance successfully pleased Ishtar.
Ishtar dug Yili out of the bed and said, "Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
"Put me down, thank you."
Even though Ishtar has not recovered his original appearance, the giants around him are still very respectful to him.
"My lord, the island owner."
The head maid who was in charge of the island owner's food and daily life said respectfully after seeing Ishta carrying Yili out.
"Is the meal ready?"
"Reporting to the Island Master, everything is ready."
"Let's eat."
"yes."
Yili's face turned green after eating this meal, because the table was full of green vegetables, and the taste of white vegetables made Yili couldn't help but recall the last time he had a big meal.
"The wizard said that your human stomachs are very fragile and require specialized care. Some of the meat, food, and pastries on our Giant Island are not friendly to you humans. So, I specifically followed the wizard's instructions and had someone prepare these light meals for you."
Yili looked at Ishtar with a green face: "Mr. Ishtar is so thoughtful that it makes me want to cry."
Damn, these dishes are so disgusting that I want to cry.
What kind of delicacies did she eat yesterday that she didn’t even appreciate them?
Ishtar really thought Yili was moved by his behavior, and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yili: "Don't be too moved, these are what I should do as your future husband, aren't they?"
Yili nodded and patted Ishta's broad and strong shoulders: "You are right, Mr. Ishta."
"In that case, Your Highness, please eat more and don't be too hungry."
Ishtar thoughtfully picked up a large piece of bitter and astringent vegetables and placed it in Yili's bowl: "Eat it. If you like it, eat more."
Yili: "...Okay, thank you, you eat too."
Ishtar shook her head. "I won't eat it. I can't accept some of your human food yet. I've already eaten it. I'll just watch you eat."
Yi Li: "..."
You know it tastes bad too!
Pretty smart.
Yili picked up the green vegetable and put it into his mouth. His whole body stiffened. He chewed and swallowed it under Ishta's expectant gaze.
This means she's going to leave.
How did this dish become so unpalatable?
When Yili finally finished her meal and was about to go back, she was stopped by Ishta: "You said you would give me a night to adjust. Now a night has passed. Princess, it's time for you to sleep with me."
Yi Li: "...?"
Sleep? What kind of sleep?
Is this a live broadcast?
Can this kid be more careful with his words? What if his live broadcast room is blocked or he is misunderstood by others?
Yili opened his mouth and said, "Can I go back and get some things?"
She knew that she had no right to refuse Ishtar, who had absolute say. If she angered him, it would be disadvantageous to her.
"Yes, do you want me to accompany you, Princess?"
"No need. You've taken care of me for so long and have been taking care of your own work. You should have a good rest now."
Yili looked at Ishtar with a smile: "I will definitely do what I promised you, Mr. Ishtar."
Yili's words and smile fell into Ishta's eyes, making him slightly stunned.
The slow memory seemed to flash some images, but could not capture them.
Ishtar came back to his senses and looked at the glowing girl in front of him: "Yeah."
Yili turned and left, and returned to her little castle under the guidance of the giant maid.
As soon as he stepped into the castle, he saw his head maid and captain of the guards, Baideli, quickly appear in front of him.
"Princess, are you okay? Ishtar didn't do anything to hurt you, did she?"
"Your Highness, it's my own fault that you're forced to live here."
"It was my fault that I didn't take good care of the princess's daily life. That's why she became ill and had to seek help from the Lord of Ishta Island."
The self-blame between the two made Yili feel like his head was about to explode.
"Okay, stop talking. It's not your fault." Yili looked at Baideli and the head maid seriously. "Mr. Ishtar is a very good gentleman. He takes good care of me. I am very grateful to him. I came here to tell you that I will be living with Ishtar in real life. I want to cultivate our relationship outside before getting married."
When Baideli heard this, a flash of sadness passed through his eyes.
"Your Highness..." Baideli wanted to say something, but he forced himself to hold it back.
He looked at Yi Li, who looked innocent and harmless in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the words he heard from the impostor when he was entangled with him.
She would really be killed by Ishtar.
She trusted Ishtar so much that she wasn't on guard against him at all.
If I were more powerful, stronger, and healthier than Ishtar, Her Highness the Princess would not have fallen to this state.
Yi Li looked at the two's reactions and smiled slightly: "Okay, don't worry, I will get along well with Mr. Ishtar. I just came here to take some things away."
"Okay, Your Highness. I'll ask someone to pack the things you need." The head maid wiped her tears and pretended to be calm.
After Yili and Baideli saw the head maid off, she heard Baideli ask her, "Can you please not get in touch with Mr. Ishtar? He's not a good person."
"Knight Commander Baideli, I'm truly sorry. I didn't realize my stepmother had asked me to come here to arrange a marriage between me and Mr. Ishtar, and I made a promise to you without thinking. But things are different now. Mr. Ishtar likes me very much, and I think I also like the gentle and gentlemanly Mr. Ishtar. I hope you will bless me and Ishtar, okay?"
Yili's happy and sweet look made Baideli's breath stop.
"Your Highness..."
"Knight Commander Baideli, please bless us."
Yili looked at Baideli with a smile, fearing that she was not stimulating Baideli enough.
The comments in the live broadcast room were filled with question marks.
What's this sister up to again?
