Chapter 231 (2): Princess’s Knight
Young Lady’s mansion, Lando Estate.
Wayne stood beside the window, watching a dark shadow fly into the grove. He nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the veteran human cannonball, Auston, when he flew, he always flew high and far. Wayne wouldn’t have been able to put on the same performance.
Veronica sat on the sofa, hugging her knees as she watched the scumbag warily, worried that a spanking session could be coming up. But it didn’t happen.
Wayne plopped down beside her and sighed. “Your performance today really disappointed me. I even gave you my first kiss, yet you suspected me of fooling around with someone else. Those few times you stepped on me hurt, and it still does.”
His words made Veronica’s mood plummet. She once again recognized her mistake and muttered quietly, “It’s all Vera’s fault.”
Good lord, Master’s blaming Auston, and you’re blaming Vera. Is this also part of the dragon blood you inherited?
“What does that have to do with Vera? When you do something wrong, acknowledge it. When you deserve a beating, take it standing. Vera and I haven’t done anything. Don’t keep looking for excuses.” With the crystal ball serving as proof, Wayne spoke with such confidence that he seemed like a socialist declaring his belief with a red scarf around his neck.
“But she likes you...” Veronica lowered her head. “She’s had feelings for you from the very beginning, deliberately getting close to you and letting you take advantage of her. She never stops making things difficult for me.”
By that logic, she actually was the first to make claims, and you’re the one who stole your best friend’s crush. And you succeeded!
Wayne kept his comment to himself, pulling Veronica into his embrace. He gave her a deep, long kiss. “Do you still remember who Vera is?”
“I remember.”
“Then let’s go again.”
