Quick-wear flirting system: being spoiled by gods in the plane

Chapter 134 The Cold Knight of the Western Noble Family (29)

This trip is still a secret, so Mel has found a dozen skilled knights and brought a carriage.

“The journey to Ryukyu is long and arduous, and Teren’s carriage can’t travel that far; we’ll have to use a horse-drawn carriage.” Mel’s eyes still showed worry, and his voice was heavy.

Yu Ci nodded: "It's alright, we have someone who can drive the carriage."

Wilves, whose face was transformed into blond hair and blue eyes by magic: "..."

“This…” Mel looked him up and down, not quite at ease.

Tanasha then patted Mel's shoulder with a smile, "He's mute, he can't speak."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll be here for you!"

Mel looked at the woman smiling brightly in front of her. After spending so much time together, anyone would be warmed by such a sunny and lovely woman.

He sighed and said, "I wonder if the windows of the Regent of Ryukyu's study can be pried open."

"Oh, this is so hard to guess, is it possible?"

Tanasa: "...Haha."

……

Five days had passed since the carriage left Trendy. Using Lancelot's golden hair as a base, Yu Ci used the last bit of magic to create a dummy beside her.

Looking at the lifelike Lancelot, even though she already knew the girl was no ordinary person, Tanasha still looked surprised. She then smiled and wanted to reach out and poke him, but then, as if remembering something, she timidly withdrew her hand.

Tanasa sighed, "The Duke is the Duke. Even if it were just a mannequin, I wouldn't dare touch it."

Yu Ci leaned against the car, exhausted. Hearing this, she smiled and touched the handsome face with her fingertips: "Ah, it's not that scary."

"Quite cute."

cute?

I recall the countless times I met his icy, penetrating gaze and the murderous intent I felt from time to time.

Tanasa pouted: "There's an old saying in the East."

"Oh?"

"Qingrun, Yanli, Cu... uh, Cuxi die!"

The woman's voice was strong and clear in the second half of the sentence, clearly indicating that she was very confident in her pronunciation.

Yu Ci blinked, and after a long pause, she burst out laughing: "Ha, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what is 'Xi Si' anyway, hahahahahaha..."

Tanasha pursed her lips, knowing that her Eastern language was not good. Her cheeks were flushed and soft, and her bright eyes were fixed on the laughing girl in front of her.

Okay,

Finally, I smiled.

She hasn't been truly happy in the past two months.

Outside the car, Wilves, who was closest to the two, listened to their laughter and chatter with a complicated expression.

After a long while, Yu Ci's eyes stung with tears. She leaned weakly against the edge, tilting her head back slightly, tears streaming down her face.

"Nasha," she asked softly, with a smile, "what exactly is love?"

Love?
Tanasa was taken aback, and her usually bright eyes dimmed slightly the moment she looked away, her expression turning somber as she gazed at the girl.

“Love…” Tanasa whispered, “I don’t know.”

"This is a very strange thing."

"It's so strange... I can't even put it into words."

Is that strange?

Yu Ci lowered her eyes, her mind still replaying the words Rui En had spoken on her deathbed.

[He hasn't figured it out yet.]
[They only imitate others' love, but don't know what love is.]
Is love... really that important?
Is it absolutely necessary?

She doesn't understand love, yet she still gets along very well with the small fragments from the previous dozen or so dimensions.

They were close to each other, dependent on each other, and tolerant of each other. They did everything except have children.

...So this counts as love?
Forget it?

Yu Ci, who had never thought about love before, was somewhat confused.

A vampire's life is too long, and the definition of love is incredibly vague. Is being good to him love?
So why does Ruien think she hasn't figured things out yet?
what……

Love is indeed a strange thing.

Yu Ci shook her head, remembering her business, and looked again at the dazed woman:
"Nasha, on this trip to Ryukyu, what did you think of Anvina...?"

Actually, Yu Ci had tentatively asked the female lead what she thought of the male lead a long time ago, but Rui En's words about not understanding love and not being enlightened kept echoing in her ears, making her lose confidence in whether the male and female leads loved each other.

“It’s nothing.” Tanasha shook her head as always. “That person… has a messy private life.”

"Her personality is unpredictable, and her emotions fluctuate greatly."

"Although he has carefully nurtured me for many years, I have never been able to see his heart clearly during our time together, and I even feel a little... resistant to him."

"It's as if everything in the world is a pawn in his game, cherished when useful and damaged or discarded when not."

After a pause, he said nonchalantly, "He has committed too many killings over the years; I'm afraid he can't sleep peacefully in the middle of the night."

Yu Ci: "Does he treat you in any special way?"

Tanasha paused: "I've never hidden my feelings of resistance and rejection from him, and he hasn't said anything about it, does that count?"

"I guess I'm still useful."

Hearing the woman's understated comment, Yu Ci was certain that she wasn't lying.

In the original work, the events that happened before the male protagonist became regent are all vague, and his family is a mystery. However, Tanasha can answer the general questions, but she knows nothing about the key issues.

Now that the wishes of both original owners have been fulfilled, all that's left is to remove the poison and trigger one of the male and female protagonists' endings to conclude the story.

But judging from the current situation, the ending for the male and female leads this time...

"Whoosh!" Yu Ci calmly tilted her head, and the arrow pierced through the carriage, landing precisely where the girl's head had been.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

"Protect the Duke and Duchess!!!"

As expected of the knights guarding the Duke's mansion, they maintained order outside the carriage, and the sound of galloping hooves did not appear chaotic.

Yu Ci glanced at the arrow that was so close to her, its arrowhead poisoned. She chuckled softly and was about to go out when she was stopped by a pair of delicate hands.

"Damn it." Natasha's face was extremely ugly as she stared intently at the girl. "You stay in the car."

This princess, who is also a spy, is a vulnerable woman, and it's not advisable to expose her identity prematurely.

"Be careful," Yu Ci said seriously. Tanasa gave a soft "hmm," frowned, pulled out the poisoned arrow that had almost hurt the girl, and turned around and got out of the carriage.

Yu Ci's magical power was completely exhausted, and she could not use her divine sense to investigate the battle situation outside. She could only hear the clamor of horses and people, and upon closer inspection, she could hear the sharp wind of poisoned arrows whistling through the air.

Beside him, Lancelot remained expressionless, showing no reaction whatsoever.

“…” Yu Ci lowered her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of people and swords ceased, the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Tanasa's beautiful and gentle face.

"Cici, it's alright."

Yu Ci was startled by the laughter and was about to step forward to check when Tanasha smiled and took a step back.

She lifted the curtain and said, "I'm too dirty to come up right now. Let's go to the next resting place first."

Yu Ci was well aware of these details. She looked at the bloodstains on the woman's face, which had been carefully wiped away but remained, her expression resolute, and reached out her hand:

"Come in."

Tanasa pursed her lips, her fair hand still hanging in mid-air, as if it would keep reaching out if she didn't go in.

"…it is good."

……

The enemy attack was small-scale; no knights in the group died, and only a few suffered minor injuries.

The convoy soon arrived at a small town. After finding a courtyard to rest, Yu Ci treated the woman's back injury.

"It's just a scratch..." Tanasa whispered.

Yu Ci glanced at her, tore off the excess gauze, and said, "It's a scratch, but it was a poisoned arrow that grazed you."

"Fortunately, the cleanup was timely and there was no major problem."

Pulling up her clothes, Yu Ci tidied her medicine box, her eyes half-closed:
Who do you think it is this time?
