Lu Ye clicked his tongue.
This woman actually resorted to this method...
How despicable!
Without hesitation, Lu Ye turned and went to the windowsill, preparing to escape.
This house is only three stories high, and this is the second floor, about six or seven meters off the ground. With Lu Ye's current skills, this is not a problem at all.
However, at that moment, Esdeath's voice rang out from behind.
"Don't even think about escaping from here. The palace is heavily guarded at night. Even I would be punished if I walked around the palace at night without prior notice. That's the rule in the palace."
Lu Ye turned his head and saw that Esdeath had finished bathing and was standing at the bathroom door.
She was wearing only a white shirt, and her long, wet, sky-blue hair reached her ankles. Perhaps because the shirt was too small, it accentuated her figure, and despite her best efforts to button it up, the buttons on the chest just wouldn't go up.
Her long, slender legs were perfectly proportioned, and the water stains on them seemed not to have been wiped clean yet. Under the moonlight, they faintly shimmered with a crystalline luster, making them a delight to behold.
"call……"
Lu Ye let out a long sigh and struggled to look away from Esdeath.
My lady, my gentleman is good.
Although Lu Ye didn't consider himself a gentleman, it was too unfair to Violet to be two-timing her.
Putting yourself in Violet's shoes, Lu Ye doesn't know what he would do if Violet got together with another man.
The most important aspect of a romantic relationship is the feelings involved.
The most important thing in a relationship is loyalty to one's lover.
Unless Violet actively abandons Lu Ye,
Otherwise, Lu Ye would never have betrayed Violet.
This was a vow he secretly made in his heart when he was in Leiden.
Seeing that Lu Ye had no intention of running away, Esdeath smiled slightly and walked over.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you still feeling dizzy?"
Esdeath pulled Lu Ye to sit on the edge of the bed. The moonlight illuminated her bare face, which was as white as snow, but with a hint of blush, making her even more real. Otherwise, one would doubt whether such a beautiful woman could really exist.
Esdeath's beauty is completely different from Violet's.
Violet is innocent and naive.
She, on the other hand, embodies wildness and allure.
"I feel a little dizzy, but I don't understand."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Captain, why did you do such a thing..." Lu Ye's tone was sincere.
"Does doing this... mean bringing you here?" Esdeath said. "If you meet someone you like, you should pursue them. What's wrong with that? Besides, you haven't married any other women, so what I'm doing is perfectly reasonable."
"It's neither reasonable nor logical, is it?!"
Lu Ye was anxious. How could this be so illogical?
This woman must have some serious mental illness!
"Oh, then tell me, what's wrong with what I did?"
Esdeath stared at Lu Ye with great interest.
It wasn't that she really wanted to hear Lu Ye's opinion, but she just thought that seeing him so anxious... was kind of cute?
"First of all, although you are the captain, it does not mean that you have the right to interfere in the lives of your subordinates. Moreover, attacking someone without permission constitutes an assault under the regulations of the garrison. According to the regulations, the minimum penalty is detention of more than 15 days."
“Is that so? Then let’s do it this way.” Esdeath stretched out her hands, clasped them together, and made a gesture as if she was waiting to be arrested. “Since it is the law of the Imperial Capital, then I will submit to the law.”
She smiled, as if in defiance.
Lu Ye's lips twitched.
He thought to himself, "Are you kidding me?"
How could the mighty general of the capital, the strongest in the empire who swept across the entire northern barbarian tribes, be arrested for such a trivial matter?
Even if we arrest you, you scoundrel, the ministers will get you out in no time!
"What? You're not going to arrest me?"
Esdeath leaned forward slightly.
Lu Ye couldn't help but lean back slightly.
However, this caused his body to sink even deeper into the bed, putting Esdeath in a superior position.
Seeing that Lu Ye didn't speak, Esdeath reached out and gently hooked Lu Ye's chin with her index finger: "Do you understand? Such behavior is indeed inappropriate for ordinary people, but I am different. The work of eliminating foreign enemies in this country has to be handled by me. Under such circumstances, it is very simple for me to decide who I want."
Chapter 249 Esdeath's Imperial Arms
“This is the privilege that comes with power,” Esdeath said. “The privilege of the strong.”
"But... I already have a lover."
“No, you can only be mine, I will never share you with anyone else!” Esdeath said.
Lu Ye fell silent.
He meant when he said that he wanted Esdeath to stop taking what belonged to someone else.
But Esdeath's unwillingness to share with others makes it seem as if she treats him as her own possession.
Difficult to find.
Looking at that face so close to his, Lu Ye thought to himself, what a pity.
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, was deeply etched into this woman's heart.
Trying to sway her is like trying to convince a religious fanatic that God doesn't exist—it's probably as difficult as stopping the Crusades.
But then again...
This position is really bad, you know.
If you go any lower, I'm going to have to lie down in bed...
What's going on?
“Miss Esdeath…” Lu Ye decided to regain the initiative. No matter what, she couldn’t let herself be taken down tonight. “You said you like me, right? But why do you like me? I don’t understand.”
"Does liking someone... need a reason?" Esdeath asked, somewhat surprised.
Lu Ye was also somewhat surprised to hear Esdeath's words.
Do you need a reason to like someone?
"I think... I should."
Although he didn't know the answer, Lu Ye said it anyway.
Esdeath thought for a moment, then answered the question with a light, fleeting kiss.
“I wouldn’t have done this if I didn’t like you,” Esdeath said. “Actually, I noticed you from the first moment I saw you, but I didn’t realize it then. It was only later that I began to understand my feelings for you… Now that I think about it, this is what they call love at first sight, right?”
Lu Ye thought to herself, "No, I think this is probably lust at first sight..."
"...That can't really be considered a reason, can it?"
He had been wondering why Esdeath would suddenly take a liking to him. Was it because of his looks?
Lu Ye not only looked at the mirror on the dressing table.
The dressing table is actually just for decoration. Esdeath doesn't have the habit of wearing makeup, so there are no bottles or jars of cosmetics piled up on it, and you can see the whole mirror clearly.
The face in the mirror was only slightly handsome, not stunningly good-looking at all.
Although his female classmate, who was a year older than him, once said that his face was very good-looking, Lu Ye didn't realize it.
After all, the face that everyone sees most often is their own.
After living for so many years, even if someone's face isn't good-looking, we've gotten used to it by now.
"Can't love at first sight be considered a reason?" Esdeath asked.
"At least come up with another reason, right?"
"Well……"
Esdeath thought about it again, but it seemed she couldn't come up with anything else.
This is understandable, given that she hasn't spent much time with Lu Ye.
"Can't figure it out, huh?" Lu Ye said. "Has the captain ever been in a relationship before?"
"No, that's not true..."
"Then you've probably made a mistake. Maybe your feelings for me aren't romantic. Maybe I look like one of your relatives' children, and you've transferred your affection for him onto me..."
“I have no relatives,” Esdeath said. “My family is all dead, and I am all alone.”
Lu Ye seemed to have taken a hit from Garen's Q, and stopped talking.
Forgot that Esdeath was an orphan...
However, her behavior does indeed seem somewhat like that of an orphan, which is quite fitting for her identity.
Otherwise, he should already be sleeping with Violet in his arms by now...
"But I'm pretty sure I like you. Whenever I'm with you, no matter what I say, my heart starts to flutter for no reason. It's a strange feeling. You can feel it if you don't believe me..."
Esdeath spoke,
He took Lu Ye's hand and placed it on his chest.
Perhaps it's because the dimensions are too grand.
Lu Ye did not feel the so-called palpitation.
I just feel
