Book 19: Chapter 65
“Received a present from your lover, did you?”
“Whoa!” Liu Yue was startled.
Liu Yue looked up to see Vera sitting there with a mischievous grin. Liu Yue quickly covered Vera’s mouth with her hands. She nervously looked around then realised that she was in her own room. Silly Liu Yue forgot to lock her door.
Liu Yue put the necklace back inside her collar. She nervously explained, “What are you saying…? He and I are clean… We’ve only known each other for a short time. There’s no way we’d have feelings… Furthermore, he’s just an ordinary man. He’s far from the husband material I want.
Liu Yue seized Vera’s hands: “Don’t tell Dad about this… The youngster is just different to the boys I’m used to. He’s a little cuter than they are.”
Vera nodded. She then pulled her hands back and folded her arms. Nose scrunched, she asked, “I know. We’re all the same, so why does he feel differently about? Even an idiot can tell he likes you, right? We’re all together, so why does he like only you? Are we lacking the charm of a female…?”
Vera wasn’t particularly fond of the youngster and most definitely didn’t want to have anything to do with him; however, the four of them were together. It didn’t make sense for him to like only Liu Yue. Her analysis went as follows: “If I think about it carefully, Liu Yue has never left us spend time alone with the youngster. Does her perceive the rest of us to be kids? Does even he think that way? If that’s how it is, then Liu Yue will be the one Dad likes when we arrive home… She has the charm to capture the heart of a youngster, which means that she is only a few years away from capturing Dad’s, right?”
Vera had prepared to launch her attack on her father once she succeeded the throne. As an elf, her views on the matter were different to humans; she could be with anybody she liked as long as they loved each other.
Liu Yue touched her face and shook her head: “Actually, I, myself, don’t know. It must be due to the fact that we met first. Everything that happened afterwards was because of me, after all. But who cares about him now? He was just another passing person. I won’t have anything to do with him from now. I just consider him a good friend. That said, you mustn’t tell Dad about me and him.”
