The whole universe knows that His Majesty has a crush on me

"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke. I am a classmate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Yao opened her eyes and found herself standing in a magnificent banquet hall.

There were many young men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes nearby, and the air was filled with the scent of alcohol, perfume, barbecue, and some more subtle and complex smells.

"My name is Ruan Jiao."

In front of me was a young girl with brown hair, fair skin, a slender figure and a pure temperament.

"Thank you for inviting me to this banquet. It is my great honor..."

Ruan Jiao smiled and spoke shyly, but there was a kind of condescending pity in her eyes, as if she was looking at a dying person.

At the same time, a line of text appeared above her head.

[Is this Su Yao? The fiancée who died early? ]

Su Yao: “?”

The line of text flashed by, and then the content changed.

[It is unfortunate that a Duke with S-class bloodline and such a handsome appearance died young. ]

Su Yao: “???”

[But she looks very weak, and it is impossible to tell that she is the heir of the S-level original bloodline. Fortunately, the war is over, otherwise she would only be cannon fodder. ]

[No wonder he died later.]

"…Good day, Your Excellency the Duke."

At this time, another group of people approached.

They all have good looks, wearing haute couture gowns, and their postures are elegant yet arrogant.

Su Yao was still in a trance and ignored them.

Those people seemed to be accustomed to her coldness. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they didn't say anything.

"And this lady."
One of them looked at Ruan Jiao and asked, "What's your name?"

Ruan Jiao introduced herself softly.

"Ruan?"
The man raised his eyebrows and glanced at her with some disdain. "I have never heard of this surname in the circle. In which galaxy is your or your parents' fiefdom located?"

【Knew it would be like this.】

[No choice. Since I want to get close to His Highness and enter this circle, this is what I have to bear.]

Ruan Jiao's face was calm, and she clenched her hands tightly. "I don't have a title. My parents are businessmen."

There was a hint of contempt in their looks.

"In Ole, anyone with a stable B-grade bloodline can apply for a knighthood."
Another person asked back, "So, Miss Ruan doesn't even have a B-level?"

Ruan Jiao bit her lip and said, "I am only E-level, so I really can't get the title."

The group of people laughed out loud, with the irony on their faces evident.

"Oh my God, Your Excellency the Duke."
Someone looked at Su Yao and said, "You are so generous to allow such a person to appear at your banquet."

"…I asked His Excellency the Duke to invite my classmates. Do you have any objections?"

A clear and pleasant male voice came from the side.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

A blond young man walked through the crowd and stopped in front of them.

He has a slender figure, walks with an upright posture, has handsome features, and his eyes are as blue as the clear sky.

The man was wearing a snow-white uniform and a gold and silver seal chain hung from his shoulders, making him look even more noble and awe-inspiring.

He looked around, his eyes turned around and stopped at Su Yao's face.

The blond young man spoke politely but awkwardly, "...Good day, Your Excellency the Duke."

Su Yao looked at him blankly, "Good day, Your Highness."

As she spoke, related memories came to her mind.

Ryan II.
Now he is the first in line to the throne of the Orlean royal family.

He is also her fiancé.

The blond young man quickly turned around and looked at Ruan Jiao, who had a calm expression beside him, with eyes full of concern and comfort.

"Ms. Ruan is my friend."
He said calmly, "She has helped me before. If anyone thinks she is not qualified to be here, they can come to me."

Su Yao finally confirmed that she was in a book.
Transmigrated into an interstellar romance novel titled "After Rebirth, the Real Daughter and the Crown Prince Became a Match".

The heroine of the story, Ruan Jiao, was reborn after being murdered. She used her information advantage to get close to the kingdom's crown prince, Rui'an, fell in love with him and married him. With the help of the crown prince, she took revenge on her enemies in her previous life.

The entire text almost revolves around the love affair between the male and female protagonists.

Su Yao was transformed into a cannon fodder female supporting role with the same name and age as herself.

The supporting female character is of noble status, rich and beautiful. Because of her genetic match, she becomes the protagonist's fiancée.
According to the original setting, after the relationship between the male and female protagonists gradually deepens, the supporting female character will die unexpectedly to make room for the female protagonist.

This character has very few scenes.
The first positive description is when he meets the heroine at the banquet, and it only consists of a few sentences.

Because she looked down on the heroine and didn't want to talk to her too much.
So I just said hello and left.

In the original novel, when this group of passers-by came to cause trouble for the heroine, the supporting female characters were not present.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness, we were just joking."

After a brief silence, someone said this.

They soon left one after another with excuses.

Ryan turned his head and said, "Sorry, they are always like this."

Ruan Jiao raised her head and smiled as if nothing had happened. "Nothing. I want to be your highness's friend. I think this is something I must go through."

She paused, "After all, my identity and bloodline are not worthy of—"

"do not talk like that."
Ryan interrupted her, "That group of people always talk about bloodline, but none of them can really exert the power of bloodline. You are younger than them, and you don't have as good conditions as them, but you can already condense a spiritual body."

Ruan Jiao lowered her head, "But I am still much weaker than them."

Those people just now all have noble titles, and some of them are cousins ​​of the crown prince.

But whether in Olai or in the star fields ruled by other forces, on the surface, the nobles and even the royal family have almost no political power.

Nobles still hold considerable wealth and influence simply because of their bloodline.

Many years ago, when the Federation still existed, a disaster swept the world and a large number of humans died in radiation.
Only a few people survived through genetic engineering surgery.

Not only did these people's physiques undergo a complete transformation, they also possessed various powerful abilities, becoming the first generation of awakeners.

Several centuries have passed, and today, when civilization has been rebuilt and regimes have been overthrown, all existing humans are descendants of this group of awakened people, and without exception have inherited a certain "bloodline".

It could be an animal or a plant.
Or it could be a mixture of bloodlines from different kingdoms, phyla and orders.

To date, there are more than one million registered bloodlines. If we include those unregistered and newly emerging mixed bloodlines, the number will be even higher.

According to the bloodline's strengthening of the inheritor's body, the strength of the spiritual body, and the various special abilities that may appear -
Relevant experts graded the bloodline.

Starting from the lowest grade F, then grade E, grade D, grade C, grade B, grade A, and then the highest grade S.

There are only three digits of known S-level bloodlines.
Some of them have no successors and only the records exist.

And above the S-level, there are actually super S-level races.
Their power limit is significantly higher than other S-class, hence this classification.

But to this day, most of the super S-level races have been lost in history.

Only the Chaos Dragon bloodline of the Sereia Empire's royal family has one existing heir.
That is their current emperor, Kyle III.

That is the only super S-level in the entire universe.

Due to the difference in bloodline levels, it is destined that the upper limit of the power of some people will never reach the lower limit of others.

Just like that super S-class emperor, who was crowned as the strongest in the universe and was said to have the power to easily destroy galaxies, and who single-handedly ended the war between humans and the Light Race's intelligent machines.

Even if we don't take him as an example, just talking about those S-level bloodline heirs, they are definitely not something that can be easily matched by A-level and B-level people, not to mention other levels of bloodline.

"In terms of force, you are indeed weaker than them."
Ryan said seriously, "But in my heart, you are much better than them."

Ruan Jiao was slightly shocked, "Thank you, Your Highness."

[He is of noble status and powerful. It is rare that he grows up in such an environment and does not judge others by their bloodline. ]

There was more emotion in her eyes as she looked at the blond young man. The Crown Prince of Ole was himself a very famous public figure.

Like the current King James II and the previous King Emily III, Ryan inherited the royal S-level Golden Flame Dragon Lizard bloodline, and thus became the crown prince.

He has also completed a deep awakening and is able to greatly unleash the power of his bloodline.
For the S-class bloodline heirs, this means they can tear apart battleships, destroy cities, and even devastate small planets.

Strong power, noble status, plus his youth, beauty, and elegance——

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has countless admirers.
Even outside the star field ruled by the Kingdom of Orlai, there are many fans.

[Although I just want to use him, he is indeed a good person. I will never hurt him.]

"Your Excellency the Duke."
Ryan walked towards Su Yao, "Is everything okay?"

There wasn't much genuine emotion in his eyes; it was obvious that he was just being polite and caring about his fiancée.

Su Yao is watching the subtitles.

Ruan Jiao had so many thoughts going on. Sometimes she thought about bloodline classification, sometimes she thought about the boss of the neighboring empire. It was really overwhelming.

"Ok?"
Su Yao came back to her senses and turned to look at her fiancé, "Thank you, Your Highness, I'm fine."

Ruan Jiao paid close attention to their interaction, and her feelings changed when she saw this.

[They were too polite. Maybe the rumors were true. Ryan didn't like her, and she didn't seem to care much about him.]

[…If she hadn’t been lucky enough to inherit the S-class bloodline, she wouldn’t have gotten the title. After all, Su Yao was just the distant niece of the former duke.]

[They were together because of a genetic match, but I heard that the compatibility is only 60%, although it is considered high for an S-level, after all, there are too few S-level people...]

The numerical value of the compatibility symbolizes the stability of the offspring's bloodline.

Moreover, the higher the value, the more the spirits can comfort each other, reducing the probability of abnormal conditions, and even easing already rioting spirits.

The Crown Prince and the Duke were engaged, but they did not have much affection and even less intimate contact.

[Why is Su Yao always looking at me? Did she misunderstand? I don't want to snatch her fiancé now, and she will die soon. ]

Su Yao: "..."

Since Ruan Jiao had found an excuse for her, she might as well stare at Ruan Jiao openly.

The subtitles occasionally become faint and blurry.

But if you look closely and focus your mind more closely, they will become clear again.

Su Yao noticed this and watched more enthusiastically.

[Actually, she is innocent too. Should I warn her? ]

[She will definitely think I'm crazy. After all, I don't know how she died. I just remember the news saying it was an accident...]

[If I had asked more about her then... If I had done her a favor, it would have been easy for her to help me get revenge.]

[Forget it... Her death will be more beneficial to my plan...]

"There is one more thing, Your Excellency."
Ryan called her again, "You are the host of this party. Next time you encounter a situation like that, you don't have to worry about it."

Su Yao was still reading the subtitles and just nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah."

[Su Yao has not awakened either, and is unable to condense her spiritual body. Like the group of people just now, she only has the bloodline level but cannot exert the power of her bloodline.]

【She is not worthy of him. 】

The so-called awakening means that the body shows some characteristics belonging to the bloodline.
The awakened form will greatly enhance physical fitness and combat effectiveness.

Of course, many people can't do it.
There are also risks in trying to awaken. It is easy to be dominated by animal nature. The higher the bloodline level, the greater the risk.

Su Yao inherited part of the memory of her predecessor.

Although it is broken and messy, like a pile of damaged data.
But when I see certain keywords, related concepts will still come to my mind.

Ryan lowered his voice, "Those people just now, they mocked you and insulted your guests, you shouldn't have let them do that."

Su Yao continued to answer randomly, "Okay."

Ruan Jiao's expression became more and more strange.

[Your Highness is talking to her, what's her attitude? And why is she looking at me all the time? ]

Ryan frowned, "Your Excellency the Duke, are you listening to me?"

"Yep."

"..."

The atmosphere became increasingly suffocating.

The subtitles of "Voice of the Heart" are also a mess.

【She's gone too far! 】

[How could she treat His Highness like this... I would never...]

Ruan Jiao became emotionally agitated, and the sentences turned into complete garbled text.

Su Yao suddenly felt dizzy.

It's like the emptiness after intense consumption, and the sudden lack of blood and oxygen supply to the brain.

"…I am speaking to you, sir."
The Crown Prince's voice was a little more impatient, "If you don't want me to be here..."

Su Yao looked at the long table behind the male and female protagonists.

There are various grilled meats in the warming device on the table.
In the mist of hot air, various aromas evaporate through the barriers of the device and permeate the air.

Su Yao took a breath gently.
She first detected the smells of various condiments and spices, then the meat fat and protein itself, the hydrocarbons, ketones, alcohols, sulfur compounds, and so on.

They penetrate into the nasal cavity in strands and are deconstructed to reveal their source.
She began to drool.

At this time, someone else came over to toast, and they were talking to the Crown Prince.

Su Yao is getting hungrier and hungrier.

She looked at Ruan Jiao's neck.

Under that thin layer of skin, warm blood is flowing, emitting a very tempting smell.

There is more than one person in this banquet hall with a similar aura.

However, Ruan Jiao was the closest to him.

Su Yao thought of the adhesion of fascia and broken bones, and the feeling of meat fibers being cut by teeth.

There are also the tender and delicious braised rabbit meat, the spicy and flavorful rabbit cubes, and the golden and crispy cumin roasted rabbit legs that I have eaten before.

"Your Excellency the Duke?"

The guests around were also stunned.

Ruan Jiao turned her head in surprise.

Su Yao walked up to her and said, "Excuse me, what is your ancestry, Miss Ruan?"

"Your Excellency the Duke!" Ryan's face completely sank, "You can't just -"

"rabbit."
Ruan Jiao raised her head, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, "Lop-eared rabbit, Your Excellency the Duke, if you want to know."

[She will definitely mock me next...]

[It’s good this way… Let Your Highness see her true face…]

Confusing subtitles appeared above Ruan Jiao's head again.

Her mood was up and down, waiting for the humiliation from the Duke, the protection from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the possible quarrel that would follow.

The next second, Su Yao suddenly came over.

The two were of similar height. Su Yao lowered her head slightly, her nose almost buried in Ruan Jiao's hair, and she took a deep breath, "You smell so good."

Ruan Jiao even heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

Ruan Jiao: “???”

Ruan Jiao raised her head stiffly and met the crown prince's shocked gaze, which made it seem as if she had cheated on him.

Ruan Jiao: “…………”
