Chapter 1892 - 447: Victory Within Reach – For Your Own Good (Part 2)
"Princess?" A voice filled with confusion mixed with surprise suddenly sounded from behind.
Yun Ya squinted her eyes slightly, slowly turning around.
The man in front of her had a high nose, deep-set eyes, blue eyes, fair skin, and naturally curly brown hair, which made him incredibly handsome and charming. Standing there at a height of 1.87 meters, he was tall and upright. At this moment, those azure eyes were tightly fixed on Yun Ya’s face, a deep surge of surprise and excitement in their depths.
Yun Ya’s gaze was indifferent, a gentle smile gracing her lips as she nodded lightly.
Her demeanor was elegant and noble.
Previously, it was just a fleeting glance, and he didn’t even see her face clearly. This was the first time he looked at her face up close, thinking it was incredibly beautiful, beyond words. His heart pounded fiercely.
Her eyes were like stars, gentle and bright, her nose like a jade hook emitting a warm glow, and her red lips were enticingly beautiful, tempting one to get closer. Her skin was as white as premium alabaster jade, without any blemish. In a pink luxurious gown, she stood there quietly, noble and stunningly beautiful.
Neo’s heart felt as if it was struck by Cupid’s Arrow.
"I am Stuart Neo, Grand Duke of Country Y. It’s an honor to meet Your Highness. The Princess is far more beautiful than I imagined. Ordinary words cannot contain Your Highness’s beauty." Neo’s charming peach blossom eyes were sparkling. An ordinary woman could hardly resist such charm. He was very confident of his allure, yet in front of her, his so-called charm had no effect at all.
The girl’s eyes were as deep as the ocean, seemingly harboring countless secrets, gazing at him calmly.
"Thank you." Her tone was polite and distant.
After speaking, she was about to pass by him.
"Princess, please wait." Neo hurriedly blocked her path, not wasting a second to admire the beauty in front of him.
The girl’s eyelashes lifted slightly, her cool eyes quietly watching him. Neo’s heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm demeanor, smiling: "Today, I am fortunate to meet the Princess. May I have the pleasure of accompanying the Princess for a stroll?"
"Sorry, I don’t have time." With that, she took a step and left.
At this moment, Neo’s arm was suddenly grasped by a large hand, causing him pain that changed his expression immediately. Angrily, he turned to see a tall man standing in front of him like a deity, even he had to look up at him. The silver mask shimmered with a cold luster, and behind it, those eyes emitted a bloodthirsty glare.
"You... do you know who I am? Let go of me immediately," Neo roared in anger.
"Ah...." was met by Neo’s painful cry.
This man... he dared to use even more force.
"Offending the Princess, you deserve to die." Cold words spilled from the thin lips, the voice chilling to the bone, like it came from the depths of Hell. Neo felt as if he fell into an ice cellar in an instant.
"Let it go," the girl said casually, not sparing Neo a glance. She swayed away, her long skirt trailing behind.
The man finally let go, "If there is a next time, I will cut off your hand."
With those words, he left without looking back.
Neo was left alone, clutching his aching arm and grimacing.
How dare he treat him like this, he is a grand duke after all...
Don’t let me know who you are, or I will not spare you.
But after meeting the Princess, his resolve only grew stronger.
"You hurt him, aren’t you afraid of his revenge?" Yun Ya glanced at the man walking beside her, half-smiling.
Wu Hen pursed his lips, "This is Country Bauhinia."
It’s not up to a mere grand duke to strut around, moreover, he’s just a puppet supported by Lady Mindai, bragging all day. If it weren’t for Lady Mindai, he would be nothing.
"But aren’t you afraid Queen will hold you accountable?"
Wu Hen gave her a deep look: "I said I wouldn’t let you get hurt."
Even if the Queen holds him accountable, he is willing.
Yun Ya immediately restrained her smile, turned back to her room, leaving Wu Hen outside at the door, looking at the closed door with a sigh.
The news of Neo being beaten couldn’t be hidden, soon both Lorde and Agunara knew. Agunara came over gloatingly to mock Neo, trying to bite off more than he can chew; got beaten by the Princess’s guard, but this guard’s temper is really something, daring to beat Neo.
But who told him she is a Princess, entitled to be arrogant, the more arrogant she is, the more he likes it.
Neo ignored him, waiting for the Queen to announce the test question the next day, determined to win.
Seeing Neo indifferent, Agunara finally left awkwardly.
"The driver responsible for the accident has been caught, please handle him personally, Madam." Gianna respectfully said to Lady Mindai, escorting a middle-aged man with a bushy beard into the room.
The drunk middle-aged man, with a face full of intoxication, was escorted by two soldiers, staggering, muttering nonsense from time to time.
Lady Mindai glanced at him indifferently, "Since the driver has been caught, let the matter go, thank the Queen for me."
"This man was drunk driving and almost hurt the Madam. It’s because of Madam’s kindness that he’s not held accountable, but if he’s not severely punished, others may follow suit, he must be punished severely." Gianna said sternly.
The drunk man was finally startled awake by Gianna’s firm voice, realizing his grave mistake, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing for mercy, his forehead hitting the floor with a "bang bang bang" sound, clear in the vacant room.
Lady Mindai waved her hand: "These are your people, handle it as you see fit, I’m tired, I want to rest."
"Please rest well, Madam, I take my leave." With these words, she beckoned and the group left as silently as they came.
The room finally returned to silence, Lady Mindai raised her hand to rub her temples, smiling: "These people are quite interesting."
"Madam has a kind heart, not arguing with them, otherwise this matter would not end easily," the man standing behind her said respectfully.
"Under someone else’s roof, we can’t help but bow down, what else could be done?" she sighed: "Jess, you’re still too naive."
Jess immediately bowed his head.
Just then, a man’s voice came from outside the door: "Mother, I heard you were in a car accident, are you alright?"
Lady Mindai curled her lips sarcastically: "Not a scratch, sorry to disappoint you."
"What are you saying, Mother, your safety is my blessing, I sincerely hope you live a long life."
As if, he’s the first person in the world who wants her dead, this cheap son.
Raising a thankless child, it’s the biggest regret of Lady Mindai’s life.
But this unloved child, if he wants to break free from her control, he better see if he’s got the means.
"Mother, would you be happy if I married the Princess?"
His wings have hardened, and his ambition has grown bigger.
"You’re of age to marry, the Princess’s status is noble, if you can marry her, it’s your blessing."
"With your words, Mother, I’m relieved, just wait to hold your grandchildren."
No more sound came from outside, Lady Mindai glanced at Jess, "This child really dares to dream, in the Queen’s eyes, he’s just cannon fodder from start to finish."
