Book 19: Chapter 60
The youngster carried the girl in red on his back. He sighed when he saw Ying. With a helpless smile, he said, “Good evening. I am very sorry. She managed to succeed when I was not paying attention.”
Startled, Ying looked pale. She thought an assassin managed to succeed. Thankfully, she realised that Liu Yue just managed to sneakily have a swig of alcohol. Liu Yue wasn’t as awkward as she once was when she was happy, but she had a glass when the youngster wasn’t looking in her state of self-contentment and excitement.
Liu Yue might’ve been a very brave girl, but she was terrible at holding her liquor. After just one glass, her fire-red tail drooped to the ground. Subsequently, the youngster had to carry her back on his back. He considered other methods of bringing her back, including Princess carrying her, but after careful deliberation, he couldn’t muster the courage to. Consequently, he chose to carry her back on his back normally.
Due to the nature of a piggy back, he had to pull the young girl’s dress up a bit. In her drunken stupor, she mumbled, “You’re violating a Princess.” He had to hold onto her thighs, though. It wasn’t easy for the youngster when he had to feel the touch of her stockings and her thighs. That smooth and succulent feeling wasn’t easy for him to handle.
“My word… First they were attacked, and now Liu Yue is drunk. I really don’t know how I’m supposed to report to His Majesty,” remarked Ying, sighing.
Liu Yue’s face was flush. She leaned onto Ying. It took just one glass to leave her drunken. Given that, Liu Yue would have to stick to fruit juice at banquets henceforth; otherwise, it’d be dangerous. Ying gave the youngster a small nod: “Leave her to me now. Thank you for taking care of Liu Yue this time.”
“I am very sorry. I am sincerely sorry for not watching her properly. I should have stopped her.”
“It’s fine. Nobody can stop these four girls when they have set their mind on something. I have reported what happened today to King Troy. He is on his way here to pick up the sisters. I think that’s good. After all, the coronation ceremony is over. The girls should, therefore, have no wilful excuse to stay any longer. What happened was dangerous no matter how you look at it.”
Ying told King Troy about what happened. Troy loved his daughters and doted on them, but he wouldn’t abandon everything to come straight over. They were attacked twice, and it was evident the four sisters were the targets in the latest attack. Troy didn’t plan to find the culprit responsible to kill but to get his daughters out of danger. He ordered Ying to forbid the four sisters from setting foot outside of the palace until he arrived to ensure their safety. Queen Vera should’ve received news from him already.
