Isn't the Supre Will supposed to be the princess?!
[Attendant Rule 2: The Supre Will here is the princess. Attendants must obey.]
Almost instinctively, Xie Antong recited the second attendant rule in her mind.
She glanced at the princess from the corner of her eye and noticed the princess didn't seem to object to "Sin's" statent.
Tsk...
Her ga rules never ntioned anything about a king!
"So it wasn't you... sigh, I knew it." The princess spoke again at that mont.
She suddenly seed exhausted, as if she had aged several years in an instant.
"But... why does what you said make so much sense?" She looked at Xie Antong.
"It almost sounds... like the truth."
"Talk to . Let's pretend this is real - that the king forced to marry soone I don't love. He probably wouldn't mind playing the villain anyway."
Lu Ce remained silent. He wasn't one to interrupt Xie Antong's analysis at such monts.
Consider it storyti.
"Alright, so what you initially said was wrong, correct?" Xie Antong temporarily shifted her attention from Lu Ce back to the woman before her.
"You actually don't love him."
"No! That's not true! Although the king forced to marry him, I do love him!" The princess instantly grew agitated, speaking sharply.
This left Xie Antong thoroughly confused, feeling like her brain wasn't functioning properly.
She could only ask:
"Then... perhaps you could tell us your story?"
The princess seed to have been waiting for this question, as a blissful expression instantly appeared on her face as she fell into reminiscence.
"Us... let think. I first t him when I was sixteen."
"Can you understand? That feeling when soone unexpected bursts into your boring life, making you feel like following him could lead you into another world entirely."
For that mont, she seed to grow remarkably youthful, her eyes shining like precious gems, as if she had instantly returned to her sixteen-year-old self.
No one actually knew her exact current age.
"I understand." Xie Antong replied as if following the attendant rules, deliberately playing along.
"I was also sixteen when I first t him."
Lu Ce: "..."
Who exactly is she talking about...?
"Oh? Really?!"
The princess imdiately perked up, speaking excitedly with an expression like she'd just t a kindred spirit.
She leaned forward and grabbed Xie Antong's hands.
"Tell more?"
Watching this interaction, Lu Ce now found himself feeling awkward.
As Arrogance, though superior to all, he inexplicably felt he should probably excuse himself from this scene.
"How did you feel at the ti?" The princess asked with a smile, now looking exceptionally spirited and healthy.
"Similar to what you just described." Xie Antong said. "But so say that's just the novelty effect, unrelated to love."
"Really? Who would say such annoying things." The princess frowned.
Xie Antong steered the conversation back. "Never mind that. What happened between you two afterward?"
"Afterward..."
The princess's face filled with longing and happiness as she recalled nurous fragnted mories.
How she, as a princess, actively sought out that blurry figure from her mories.
All the experiences they shared together - joy, argunts.
Watching sunrises from the kingdom's highest peak, exploring caves rumored to harbor dragons, listening to the sound of lting snow, admiring rainbows reflected off glacial ice...
"Back then, I never thought about being a princess, and no one prevented our love. He treated so well..."
"I just wanted that peaceful life, to marry him, live without turbulence until death. Oh, and bear him seven or eight children..."
Seven or eight children... The audience was stunned, wanting to say "damn impressive."
But Xie Antong listened carefully, missing not a single word, knowing clues might hide anywhere.
Soon, however, she noticed sothing amiss.
The woman before her seed starry-eyed, completely imrsed in beautiful mories.
But here was the problem - if everything was so wonderful, why resist the marriage and wedding now?
Moreover, wasn't this originally soone the king forced her to marry?
What changed in between?
Yet she hesitated to interrupt the princess's increasingly fragnted murmurs, reluctant to do so.
She didn't know what might happen if she abruptly pulled soone out of nostalgic bliss.
Especially when that soone might be the ga's final boss!
And wouldn't it be terribly rude, potentially ruining the favorable impression she'd built?
But letting this continue wasn't productive either...
Fortunately, that rude interruption ca from behind her.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Ce said rcilessly.
"If you loved him so much, why refuse to marry him now?"
Instantly, the princess was yanked from heaven into hell!
Xie Antong even felt pain in her hand as the princess's grip tightened.
The princess remained silent for a full minute before tears burst forth again.
"I don't know... I think I forgot. I don't want to rember his flaws..."
"Maybe he did sothing to betray ..."
"I..."
"I HATE HIM AAAAAH!"
Once again, the princess descended into madness, releasing Xie Antong to clutch her own head.
Xie Antong watched silently, pained to see soone fall from blissful dreams into despair.
Yet rationality compelled her to advance the plot.
This storyline seed split in two, with the middle connection missing.
Forr happiness, current hatred - the transitional emotions appeared lost.
Piecing together the fragnted narrative, she reconstructed:
They were deeply in love, sothing happened to turn love to hate, and now she's forced to marry him by so "king's" decree...
But this raised...
The most imdiate question - what exactly were they, the players, here to do?
