135: Chapter 135: I’m Quite Fond of You 135: Chapter 135: I’m Quite Fond of You Everything that could be said had been spoken; now, what direction would things take?
After all, she was the Third Princess of the Luoze Empire; she probably couldn’t swallow this affront easily.
Yang Yu wasn’t afraid of Latis making a move against him, as with her current strength, she still wasn’t capable of killing him instantly.
If Latis did strike, the one at fault would be her, and all he needed to do was not fight back, just…
just shout back, and wait for the Library’s peacekeeping Mages to arrive, which would make things much easier.
The All Things Library was absolutely neutral, and Yang Yu trusted that, with his eloquent tongue and various witnesses at the scene, the Law Enforcers would undoubtedly discern right from wrong and make a fair and just decision.
Her chest heaving dramatically, Latis took deep breaths in and out, her facial expression gradually softening, and she slowly uttered three words,
“I’m sorry.”
Having heard Latis’s voice as faint as a mosquito’s, Yang Yu doubted his own ears,
“What did you say?”
Placing a hand over her chest, Latis took another deep breath, and with all seriousness, apologized to Yang Yu:
“I’m sorry!
I apologize for taking out my anger on you just now.
There was nothing wrong with your actions, and the words you used to admonish were also appropriate.
I apologize for my earlier rudeness to you.”
After saying these words, Latis pulled back her red dress slightly and formally bowed to Yang Yu, then, as though nothing had happened, faced Yang Yu with a calm expression.
The script had deviated from what he had imagined; Yang Yu had thought that Latis would be at a loss for words, either raging impotently or retreating in utter frustration, and subsequently targeting him relentlessly.
But instead, Latis had candidly admitted her mistake.
“Wait a second.
Lady Latis, are you really not angry at all, don’t you want to do sothing to ?”
“Honestly, I’m super angry right now, I even wish I could hang you up and beat you, then roast you over charcoal.”
“You really have a way of saying incredibly terrifying things with the most placid face.”
“Takes one to know one.
Standing up to the Royal Family without fear, saying what you did, you might just be the first.”
A smile slowly ford on her face, and Latis had not a trace of displeasure about her, even seeming utterly relaxed after letting it all go.
“So, you really don’t plan on doing anything?
Like secretly investigating my identity and then sending a few assassins to discreetly finish off?”
“Do I look like a woman with such a dark heart?
Getting rid of you would give temporary satisfaction.
But after that?
The risks I would have to bear for it, I don’t need to say, you can probably imagine, right?”
“It’s nothing more than tarnishing the honor and reputation of the Royal Family if exposed.”
“Exactly, those who defile our honor, we never let them off.
The acts that stain our honor, we also never commit.
To get angry and start killing in the restaurant after being pointed out for wrongdoing would undoubtedly be the most foolish choice.”
“So, after apologizing, you plan to just let go?”
Yang Yu found it hard to believe, probing wildly on the brink of death,
“There are plenty of people watching here, if word of this gets out, you might end up losing face.”
Having said that, Yang Yu suddenly seed to see the next words Latis was about to utter—those words that were re opinions of vulgar people; an image of humbly accepting advice that would gradually perate the masses.
“Those are just the views of vulgar people; an image of humbly accepting advice that could slowly sink into the public.”
Latis spoke indifferently, raising her fan in one swift motion and pointing it at Yang Yu, displaying her smile to full effect,
“I won’t say much else.
I really like you!
Co and be my subordinate!”
Originally, he had thought this scenario was the prelude to a bloody storm, but to his utter surprise, it turned out to be a case of the overbearing boss falling for .
Yang Yu was speechless, having never anticipated such an outco.
He had rely intended to give Latis a proper scolding, but unexpectedly, it had given her the kind of delusion often found in overbearing boss novels: “Everyone else shows nothing but respect, but only he dares to treat this way.
He’s different from those seductive cheap goods.”
“If you beco my subordinate, you and your companions can have a stable life, plus there will be a good path for advancent.
I believe with your capabilities, you would soon beco the left and right arms of the Empire.
Then, not only would you be free from worrying about food and clothing, but you would also be revered by thousands…”
Latis went on and on about the benefits of becoming her subordinate as if following her would lead to becoming a CEO and marrying into wealth and prosperity in re minutes.
It was at this mont that Tico, who had been standing at the door, sprang into action and stepped into the dining room.
During the intense conflict between Yang Yu and Latis, she was at a loss, watching Latis at a disadvantage, wanting to stop Yang Yu, yet she found so sense in Yang Yu’s words, and if she spoke up for Latis, she didn’t know how it would affect her relationship with Yang Yu.
Thus, she ultimately chose neutrality, letting events unfold as they would.
But now, seeing Latis blatantly trying to poach her fan, she could no longer hold back.
“Latis, you already have so many fans who like you, there’s no need to poach mine.
It wasn’t easy for to have one fan!”
Latis, with a smile, unfurled her fan, “This isn’t poaching.
I’m rely introducing him to a decent job.
I’ve heard you say they’re adventurers, always doing dangerous work, and could die any day.
You don’t want to end up like that, right?”
“Even though that is true, I have a feeling that if he follows you, so bad things will happen!
What if you make him go to the battlefield…”
“What’s the big deal with that?
If he’s willing, I’ll give him the opportunity.
A true man should achieve great deeds.
If he’s not willing, I won’t force him.
Such a talented individual can shine anywhere else.”
The dining room instantly beca noisy, and Yang Yu sighed helplessly.
It was the first ti girls were arguing over him, and while he was pleased, the nature of their dispute left him joyless.
Indeed, all won are cads; gas are more fun.
Just as Yang Yu was about to find so excuse to decline, the long-absent electronic sound of the System rang in his ear.
[According to your knowledge, the Luo Ze Empire is currently at war with Wansheng Country, and internally there are two factions divided on whether to end this war.
