Chapter 190: 189 “Am I actually very dangerous? Chapter 190: 189 “Am I actually very dangerous? “Bang!”
When a loud knocking sound erupted from the Princess’s bedroom, a cry of pain echoed throughout the room.
Luoqi clasped her head, squatting on the floor with teary eyes clearly showing she had been hit hard.
And the culprit who had struck the Princess on the head was none other than Shane, who had just entered, and without a second word, gave her a knock when she happily ran over to greet him.
“What are you doing!?”
Luoqi immediately complained as if she was choked with sobs.
Shane, however, snorted coldly.
“That’s what I should be asking you, isn’t it?” Shane didn’t admit his wrong, instead he retorted, “What are you up to? Why did you have someone fetch me?”
“Why can’t I call you here?” Luoqi protested grievously, “I can’t believe I had someone waiting outside for you since I heard you were coming for an audience today. As soon as you appeared, I called you over. You’re so heartless!”
“I’m heartless? You’re the one who’s not thinking straight!” Shane, disregarding Luoqi’s grievance, berated her, “You know very well that if you call me here alone in front of others, they will definitely resent me, yet you still do it. Isn’t that thoughtless?”
“What’s the big deal?” Luoqi’s grievance turned into discontent, and instead of answering, she questioned back, “Are you scared or something?”
“Scared?” Shane laughed out of sheer exasperation, “You should be scared of the time when I get clubbed from behind without you knowing!”
Saying so, Shane raised his hand, preparing to give Luoqi another knock.
Luoqi got frightened and hurriedly, using her agile skills, leapt away, instantly creating a distance of over five meters between herself and Shane.
“I warn you, stop hitting me, attacking a Princess is a serious crime!”
“Is that so?” Shane replied in equally serious tone, “Then what’s the crime for flirting with a Princess?”
As he said this, Shane stretched out his hands towards Luoqi as if ready to pounce on her, and his palms moved in a very irregular and embarrassingly suggestive manner.
“You…what are you doing? I warn you, don’t mess with me!” Luoqi’s eyes widened as she couldn’t help but retreat, grinding her teeth in rage, “Put your hands down! That gesture is indecent!”
“Heh.” Shane let out two words dripping with sarcasm, then slowly moved closer to Luoqi.
Luoqi immediately retreated with her, grimacing threateningly and trembling her lips in fear, like a victim of something unspeakable.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
“Your Highness, someone from the Royal Palace has sent a notice.”
The voice of a Female Knight came through.
In an instant, the demeanor of both people in the room changed.
The pitiful and helpless demeanor of Luoqi, like that of a little rabbit, vanished instantly, replaced by a commanding and calm voice that carried with it an air of authority.
“Hmm, this tea is not bad.”
Shane, on the other hand, had somehow sat down, picked up a tea cup devoid of any tea, and took a sip of air. He assessed it like an old tea aficionado, completely unfazed.
The Female Knight noticed nothing amiss.
“They said that after the audience begins, please take Mr. Shane directly to the Royal Hall,” the Female Knight said.
“Alright, I understand. You may withdraw,” Luoqi’s tone remained very calm.
The Female Knight then withdrew.
After hearing no more movement outside the door, the composure and calm on Shane and Luoqi’s faces finally collapsed.
“Thank goodness no one came straight in. Otherwise, if that scene had been seen, my lifelong reputation would be ruined.”
Shane patted his chest, relieved.
“Your reputation is ruined? It was my innocence that was truly almost destroyed!” Luoqi retorted irritably, “Besides, the Female Knight under my command wouldn’t enter without my permission. Your worries are unnecessary.”
“So you were as into the performance as I was?” Shane rolled his eyes and said, “No wonder you’re always playing the role of the flawless Princess. Are you ‘the epitome of drama’ or what?”
“What’s ‘the epitome of drama’ anyway? Please stop using Otherworld jargon that I don’t understand all the time, okay?” said Luoqi with resignation, “Also, even if it’s just for show, don’t do that kind of thing again. I thought you were really going to pounce on me.”
Shane’s hands paused, and he lifted his gaze to look at Luoqi, not hiding the emotions in his eyes.
At this sight, Luoqi was taken aback at first, then twitched at the corner of her eyes.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.
“…You didn’t actually plan to pounce on me, did you?”
Luoqi asked, both uncertain and apprehensive.
Shane replied with a bright smile at Luoqi and gave her another look, letting her figure it out on her own.
And Luoqi did just that.
Just now, Shane definitely had the intention to throw himself at her.
At that moment, given that scoundrel’s character, what those hands doing those indecent gestures would do to her body—Luoqi shuddered at the mere thought.
“Could it be that being alone with you is actually dangerous for me?”
Luoqi came to this realization.
Shane threw those two mocking, malicious words at Luoqi once again.
Eventually, instead of distancing herself from Shane, she walked over and sat down in front of him.
Closer than they had ever been before.
Shane was dumbfounded.
But it was Luoqi who started to smile triumphantly.
“You think by doing this, you’ll frighten me so I won’t dare to be alone with you in the future, or let you into my room again? Is that your goal?” Luoqi spoke scornfully, “I won’t let you succeed!”
Shane was left speechless, then he pursed his lips slightly.
Seeing Shane’s expression, Luoqi knew she had guessed right and suddenly felt drained of strength.
This guy was as exasperating as ever.
Had he forgotten that she was insanely busy every day, with almost no time to rest?
How much effort had she made just to find time to talk to him, and did he even realize that?
She was working so hard, and there he was acting as if he was reluctant to be in her company. It was infuriating.
But why did she always end up wanting to call him over to keep her company during the dreary work hours?
She really couldn’t make sense of it.
Unaware of Luoqi’s complex feelings, Shane continued, not ready to give up, “What if I really wanted to take advantage of you? Aren’t you afraid of the slightest chance?”
As if making a last-ditch struggle, Shane infuriated Luoqi further.
“The same words as before. If you can do it, then you’ve got skill. Whatever you want to do then is fine!” Luoqi’s tone was as charged as anything.
Did he really think she was easy to bully?
The Princess had never lost before!
