You've only just met each other for a short time and you don't really like each other, so why do you have to do this?
……
It was not until the evening, when it was late and quiet, that Baimu and Euphemia returned.
"Ugh……"
Looking at Euphemia with a worried look on her face, Tifa couldn't help but ask:
"How is Miss Cornelia?"
"It's okay now." Euphemia shook her head slightly. "The doctor said we went in time and the scar won't be too big."
"However, after the operation, my sister kept glaring at Mr. Bai and clamoring to be discharged from the hospital, unwilling to continue living there."
Tifa remained silent, putting herself in her sister's shoes. No sister would agree to be saved by her younger sister in a way that was almost like selling herself.
What's more, Miss Cornelia looks like a person with a very strong self-esteem.
"Have you eaten yet? If not, I can go out and get you something to eat."
"No, we've already eaten."
Euphemia hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the white screen, took a deep breath, and whispered:
"Mr. Bai, can we talk? Of course, I'm not going to regret it or anything, but I think we should get to know each other better first."
After saying this, without waiting for Baimu to answer, Euphemia took his hand and walked quickly towards the backyard.
Tifa was ignored, looking confused. When she came to her senses, she had already followed on tiptoe.
Euphemia stopped by the stone bench in the backyard, looked back at Bai Mu's face carefully, and sighed softly:
"Although there are countless things I want to say, but when I think about it, we haven't actually formally introduced ourselves yet. So, let's start from the beginning."
"I am Euphemia *li* Britannia, the third princess of the Holy Britannia Empire. I am 15 years old. You can just call me Euphie."
"I've never considered a romantic relationship, and I've never had anyone I'm attracted to since I was old enough to understand."
"However, I have also envisioned my future significant other more than once."
"Speaking of which, I still feel a little unwilling to enter into a marriage with someone in this way."
"However, since I have already agreed, I will definitely not regret it."
"From now on, I will try my best to make myself like you. If it doesn't work, please don't blame me. After all, no one can control things like moods."
"But I can promise that no matter whether I succeed or not, I will never betray you or fall in love with anyone else."
"To be honest, this should be your real request, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Mu smiled unconsciously, and his face became more serious.
"Since you've spoken your mind, I'll say a few words too."
"My response to your request was somewhat joking, but of course, it was mostly driven by greed."
"I hate losing, and I hate seeing people around me gradually leaving one by one."
"So, in my daily life, I always keep a certain distance from people, not too distant, nor too close."
"I can't really say I like you, but I don't hate you either. It's just that I admire beautiful things."
"But if you really fall in love with me one day, I will like you very much too."
"Because I like everyone who likes me."
"How cunning," Euphemia chuckled. "Do you really have to take the initiative?"
"It's not a first move. I think it's very difficult to make others like you. Sometimes saying the wrong thing can cause others to resent you. Relatively speaking, it's easier to just try to like others."
"Hmm... How unreasonable. I can decide whether to like you or not, but you must like me unconditionally. Besides, you are not allowed to refuse?"
"Haha... That's true. Who told you to provoke me? It's too late to regret it now."
"It's not that I regret it, but... I just want to get to know you better so I can decide what to do next."
"What do you want to ask? I'll do my best to answer whatever I can."
"Really? Then I'm not welcome."
Euphemia thought about it carefully and said thoughtfully:
"First question, why do you want to cooperate with Lelouch? With your ability, it won't matter even if Lelouch is left out, right?"
"I hate getting into trouble, but Lelouch is the opposite. Isn't this kind of partnership perfect?"
Bai Mu carefully considered his words, and after considering what he could and couldn't say, he spoke again:
"You probably don't understand this statement, so please explain it in more detail."
"I'm employed by a certain god to travel through different worlds, and this is one of my stops."
"Every time you arrive in a new world, you'll receive many quests. As long as you complete the basic quests, you can move on to the next world. And if you complete the final quest, you can solidify your anchor in that world and return at any time."
"The ultimate mission of this world is to assist one force in unifying the world."
"If I can, I certainly want to complete the final mission."
"And Lelouch, because of what happened to his mother and sister, hates the Britannian Empire to the core. He is determined to destroy the empire, avenge his mother and sister, and create a new world where his sister can live in peace."
"And this is the basis of our cooperation."
"Whether Lelouch destroys the Empire, the Federation swallows up Britain, and then unifies the world; or Lelouch himself controls the Empire and nominally unifies the world, I can accept it."
"Although as a flower grower from another world, I prefer the former, but there's nothing wrong with the latter either."
"Of course, Lelouch probably can't take the latter route."
"Now, he is filled with rage and vows to perish along with the entire empire."
"Whether it's you brothers and sisters or the Emperor of the Empire, he will kill them without hesitation."
"And after doing all this, Lelouch, who admits his crimes are heinous, will not survive, but will commit suicide."
"Or rather, if Lelouch really reaches that point, he will become the person he hates the most."
It turned out to be the case.
Euphemia suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lelouch's eyes looked so strange, completely different from when they were children.
"Self-destructive tendencies?"
"You could say the same thing."
"... "
Euphemia was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly:
"I don't hate Lelouch anymore. Even though what he did was wrong, no one else could do better than him. Everything is father's fault."
Chapter 146: I didn’t expect Euphemia to be so proactive
At night, Tifa sat on the wooden steps in the courtyard, pulling the weeds off the ground one by one, staring blankly at the night sky.
For some reason, ever since those two people chatted for a long time in the backyard, I have been feeling uncomfortable and empty.
"Ugh……"
While he was pondering, he suddenly heard footsteps and subconsciously looked back.
He noticed Bai Mu carrying a basin into the men's bathroom and then looked away again.
To be honest, she never really understood why there should be separate bathrooms for men and women when he was the only male in the family?
Could it be that it was prepared for guests? But Lelouch always came and went in a hurry, and never stayed for more than ten minutes.
Da da……
The footsteps sounded again, this time, they were a little lighter and very slow.
Tifa looked back again and saw Euphemia holding a basin and walking towards the bathroom.
I didn't take it too seriously at first, but soon I suddenly discovered the problem.
"!? Why did she go to the men's bathroom? Did she go the wrong way? Didn't we bathe together in the women's bathroom last night? It's marked for men and women."
After a few seconds, Tifa suddenly reacted.
'Wait a minute! Did she take the wrong turn on purpose?'
Thinking of this, my heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"She went to the men's bathroom on purpose. What did she want to do?"
When I came to my senses, my feet had already started moving.
Tifa tiptoed to the outside of the men's bathroom, put her ear against the wall, and listened carefully to the sounds inside.
As he concentrated fully, the sounds of insects, wind, and heartbeats gradually became quieter, while the voices inside gradually became louder.
"Why are you here, Yuffie?"
"I'll help you take a bath. Um... According to many comics I've read, on the day a relationship is confirmed, both parties will live together."
"??? Are you reading serious comics?"
"Eh...? Are there any indecent comics out there?"
"you know what I mean."
"I don't understand. I only read serious comics. Hehe...ah...!"
"This is the first time I've seen someone fall flat on their face. You didn't mean to do that, did you?"
"Eh...!? There's no need to act on purpose, right? I just fell down accidentally."
"If it was an accident, why did it fall towards me?"
"Because, when I lost my balance just now, I suddenly felt that you would definitely hug me. So, I tilted my body slightly."
"So, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision?"
"Uh-huh...um, can you let me go?"
"It was you who kept holding my arm."
"This... is my first time seeing a male body. I'm a little... dizzy. Let me take it easy."
At this moment, Tifa suddenly felt someone breathing next to her. She turned around and found that CC and Leila were eavesdropping in the same manner behind her.
Shinano also moved a chair and was walking over quickly.
"Shh..." Leila put her index finger in front of her lips and smiled.
Behind her, CC was holding a plate of melon seeds and sharing it with Shinano.
I continued to listen, but all I could hear from the bathroom was the sound of flushing water.
After a long while, accompanied by the sound of two sinking into the water, the voice was heard again:
"Mr. Bai, how old are you this year?"
"18 is old."
"Three years older than me? You just said you're not from this world? Then what about the parents here..."
"Identities in this world are fabricated by the gods. How should I put it? They create a new identity for a family out of thin air. It's like creating a sister for you, making you the fourth princess instead of the third princess.
In this world, my mother died early and my father is a general stationed on the border.
But to be honest, it's just a memory, I haven't actually met him yet.
In the world I originally lived in, my parents died early, and I was raised by my grandparents.
After that, my grandparents passed away one after another, and I became a lonely person."
"Feel sorry…"
"Don't worry about it, it's all in the past. Why did you suddenly hug me?"
"I want to comfort you."
"Thank you."
At this moment, Tifa clearly felt that the breathing of the people around her became a little rapid, and they were obviously imagining the scene inside.
