Capítulo 513: Chapter 513: I Choose Only You, Only You
“No!” Lin Fu took the initiative to hug him tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck, and mumbled, “I choose you, I choose only you, you alone.” When I knew you wouldn’t choose me. She silently told herself in her heart.
Fu Xing was not Clive, he was always more rational and restrained than Clive, more responsible, more ambitious.
And she herself was just like Clive.
Indeed worthy of the Mecklenburg Family.
“Fu Xing, was that the reason why you deliberately let Clive off the hook once?”
“Did you see through it?”
“Of course, you started negotiating terms with him, agreeing to let his people go, which was tantamount to letting him off once. But because I was unwilling, you changed your mind.” It wasn’t until now that Lin Fu realized how stupid her stubborn demands had been.
“Forget it, since you intended to let him go once, so be it. I want to kill him, and I’ll do it with my own skill in the future.”
Fu Xing’s heart suddenly softened, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed Xia Huangyu and Theresa approaching, “You deal with matters first.” Then he let go of Lin Fu and stood up to leave.
Lin Fu smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and adopted a more casual sitting posture, watching Theresa enter with a solemn expression that revealed no emotion. It was a complete contrast to the figure just now in Fu Xing’s arms, yet Lin Fu, with her simple posture, exuded an indescribable nobility and strength.
Theresa and Xia Huangyu both stiffened as they walked in, instinctively holding their breaths.
Especially Theresa, who was filled with immense regret at the sight of Lin Fu, chastising herself for how foolish she had been to ever dare mock Lin Fu as a country bumpkin.
Han Shuang, who had come over at some point, gave them a devilishly charming smile, not surprised at Lin Fu’s current demeanor, for to Han Shuang, this version of Her Highness was the one he knew.
“Cousin, long time no see,” Lin Fu said meaningfully. “These years have seen you thriving as a princess, learning quite well how to oppress the commoners.”
“What exactly do you want?” Theresa bristled with rage, demanding, “You want to see me ridiculed?”
She was already aboard the spaceship, finally about to leave this place and escape danger, but unexpectedly, she was brought back.
“I haven’t done anything to you yet, and you can’t already bear it?” Lin Fu stood up abruptly, her voice sharp, “How could you not spare a thought when you were arranging assassinations, scheming, humiliating me?”
“I didn’t know, I really didn’t know your true identity.” If she had known, she would not have resorted to those methods.
“So you regret not using even more ruthless methods against me in the past?” Lin Fu looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “Oh! That’s right, back then you didn’t need harsher methods, just by virtue of my identity as the Exiled Princess, you could’ve told the Elder Council about my secret, and naturally, someone would have come to kill me.”
Exiled members of the Royal Family didn’t just carry a title; they also carried the stipulation that they were never allowed to set foot within the boundaries of the Galaxy Empire again after being exiled in failure.
Once discovered, they were killed without mercy.
This was also a specific regulation of the Galaxy Empire aimed at the Nobles. Nobles who erred generally had two choices, one was to be exiled, and the other was life imprisonment.
Many wouldn’t want to lose their freedom and would choose exile, swearing never to return.
Nobles valued oaths and honor, many complied conscientiously.
Of course, like Evelyn, Xiling, and Lin Fu herself, there were many who did not abide by their vows and could only return in secret, facing dire consequences if discovered. This was why, when in Zone 23, Evelyn had sacrificed Xiling to save her own life.
