I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 212, Sections 1.15 and 10: Royal Wars
"Is it not okay?" Her voice was slightly forlorn as she leaned gently on Koya's shoulder, stroking her cheek with one hand and making her turn to look at her.

"I'm just an insignificant servant." Koya tried hard not to let her head turn away from that hand.

She had read in a book that turning her head in this situation would definitely result in their mouths touching, so it was absolutely impossible!
Sometimes those mindless romance novels are quite useful; at least they taught her what a cliché is.

She's a woman who's read tens of thousands of romance novels!
They know all the tricks and schemes inside and out!

She can't be fooled by this person.

"Is she really a servant?" She leaned lightly on Koya's shoulder, playing with her long, straight, dark gray hair, and said with a half-smile.

At that moment, Koya was definitely more panicked than calm.

Why would she say that?

Do you know something?

She chuckled softly and slowly stood up. She opened her knees apart, stepped back on one leg, lifted her skirt with both hands and spread it to the sides, slightly bent her knees, lowered her head with a faint smile on her lips, and then quickly straightened up.

A very elegant curtsy, but isn't this a courtesy only performed when meeting someone of higher status?

"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Qin, the eighth princess of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and the one who will become your lover in the future. Please take care of me." She had dazzling long golden hair, a beautiful face with a gentle smile, and every gesture exuded noble elegance.

But she wanted to slap that mouth.

Ke Ya stood up, her expression somewhat indifferent. Did this person even know what restraint was?
Is it okay to just say things like that?!
"Do you hate me?" She tilted her head, looking at Koya with a puzzled expression. "I really like you. It was love at first sight."

Koya frowned sharply and refused without hesitation, "Don't joke like that!!"

Feelings are something you should never joke about!
absolute!

She hates people who say one thing to someone and do another behind their back!

The smile on Qin's lips vanished instantly. Her deep blue eyes, as dark as the ocean, fixed on Ke Ya, a hint of ambiguity in them. She spoke in an extremely calm voice, word by word, "I'm serious."

"..." Ke Ya fell silent. She had only wanted to get close to carry out the mission, but she never expected to encounter something like this. It was a mistake for her to come here, and she was repeating her failures time and time again.

"So annoying." Ke Ya muttered to herself, head down, as if disgusted.

"It's always been like this, everyone talking to themselves. Can't you understand human language?!" Ke Ya raised her eyes and glared angrily at Qin, her voice going from a soft murmur to a loud shout, gradually unleashing the anger that had been building up inside her.

Qin was slightly taken aback, wondering what Ke Ya was talking about.

"Everyone in this world is talking to themselves. Am I really that invisible? Is what I say so hard to understand?! Stop ignoring me, okay?! I'm not an emotionless doll, I don't need to take orders from any of you!" Koya roared, panting heavily.

His light green eyes flickered with unreadable emotions, and his eye sockets were slightly red.

Actually, I didn't mean to say these things, and they have nothing to do with Qin, but I don't know why she suddenly erupted like this.

Unable to control their emotions, they just want to vent.

"I'm sorry," Ke Ya said softly, her eyes red and her voice trembling with tears.

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Was she bullied?" Qin blinked and curiously jogged after him, showing no anger at being treated like an inflatable bag and no concern whatsoever.

"No, don't bother me." Ke Ya quickened her pace, trying to shake her off.

"Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!" Qin lifted her skirt and jogged after him, maintaining a distance of half a meter between them the entire time.

"You're annoying! I don't want to talk!" Ke Ya stopped in her tracks and yelled at Qin. After saying that, she paused for a moment, a hint of regret in her expression, and added, "I'm sorry, I took it out on you again."

Qin blinked innocently, then chuckled and said to Ke Ya, "You still haven't told me your name, darling~"

"Don't call me 'darling,' and besides, we're not close at all. I was just lying to you, it was all fake! So stop bothering me!" Ke Ya said irritably, her brows furrowed.

In that instant, Qin's expression changed, and the smile on her face vanished completely.

Koya took a step back, seemingly frightened by Qin.

Oops!

I accidentally blurted out the truth. Should I run away now?

"You have guts." Her deep blue eyes, as deep as the ocean, looked coldly at Koya, and the corners of her mouth curled up in an inscrutable smile, making her entire demeanor unpredictable in an instant.

The surrounding air seemed to have stopped moving.

As Ke Ya looked at the zither, her heart began to pound faster and faster.

In this silent environment, she could only hear the rapid beating of her own heart.

My body was stiff from tension, and my legs couldn't move an inch, as if I were fixed in place.

"In all my years, you're the first person who's ever dared to deceive me." Qin walked towards Ke Ya step by step, her slender, fair fingers gently stroking Ke Ya's face. A cold smile played on her lips, and her eyes held nothing but indifference and unfathomable darkness.

"You're such a naughty child. You can use me as an inflatable bag to vent your emotions, or hit me to vent your anger, but lying is absolutely unacceptable. I was so happy before, but now I just want to tear your mouth apart and never let you open your mouth in front of me again!"

The chilling tone sent a shiver down Ke Ya's spine, raising goosebumps all over her body.

Gentle sunlight streamed through the windows and fell on the red carpet in the corridor, making it exceptionally warm. But at that moment, Koya felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.

“However…” she said softly, her tone shifting slightly, with a hint of tenderness, shyness, and adoration, “This is the real you, isn’t it? I will try my best to adapt to you.”

Come on!

She's already said all that, can't she have some backbone?!

"I'm serious, I fell in love with you at first sight, so how could I hurt the one I love? But next time, don't say anything that makes me hate you, or you'll really never be able to speak again~" She wrapped her arms around Koya's neck, affectionately nuzzled her face, and said shyly.

Koya froze, unsure how to react.

Can I give her a piece of tofu to commit suicide?
If that doesn't work, then add another noodle.

She vowed to strangle this woman!

Once Ke Ya felt she could move again, she quickly grabbed Qin's hand and took several steps back, afraid that the person would pounce on her again. "Speak properly, don't touch me."

She was terrified!

I almost thought I was ruining my reputation in my later years!

This must be what they call sworn enemies, Qin Ke.

Koya: I was terrified at the time.
