Chapter 989: 989 The Other Shore’s Sea of Flowers, Heather (13)
It was then that Heather walked back from the balcony into the room and took the opportunity to observe Luo Xuan closely, blinking curiously.
"Mr. Luo Xuan actually isn’t so old geezer... but such a good-looking young man? We always thought he was a very old, very ugly man. It is said that the current Mr. Luo Xuan has been in power for ten years, goodness... how old were you when you took the office?"
Luo Xuan understood that she was talking about his predecessor "Luo Xuan."
Heather kept talking to herself, very chatty.
"So, was it His Majesty who sent you to bring
here? What mission do I have?"
"Yes," Luo Xuan bluffed without giving much thought, "but for now, all you need to do is to take good care of your health."
Since he couldn’t tell if she was really suffering from mory loss or just pretending, he decided to play along with her.
As long as he was sure she couldn’t escape from here, let her play any act she wished, however she pleased.
"Could it really be that going hungry for a few days has caused problems with my body? I can feel that sothing seems wrong with my body," Heather said sharply, "I feel like there’s no strength in my limbs. I just saw that the door was locked and wanted to go down from the balcony, but as soon as I put my hands on it, I knew, if I tried to climb out, I would definitely fall to my death."
Because of her weakness, she couldn’t perform any high-difficulty movents to ensure a safe landing.
"You’re hungry, I’ll have soone prepare so food for you."
Luo Xuan didn’t stay any longer; instead, he turned around and left.
"Mr. Luo Xuan," Heather called after him, "Did His Majesty say when I can leave this place?"
"No."
As he closed the door, he heard her monologue: "Great!"
Just like she said, being able to leave that place was indeed great.
But Luo Xuan’s facial features were tightly furrowed.
Heather, which one is the real you?
At seventeen, was she really like this?
Luo Xuan was puzzled because he had never encountered her at that age.
River Sparrow ca to follow up, and Luo Xuan told her, "Investigate events from around when Heather was seventeen; there should be so of her contemporaries still alive."
"Yes."
Subsequently, River Sparrow also entered the room, attempting to test Heather.
"Heather, do you know who I am?"
Heather looked at River Sparrow, from initial confusion to gradual recollection, and finally to a smile of absolute certainty: "River Sparrow."
"You rember ?"
"Of course, my first rival on a mission. I don’t know why... it took so long to rember your na."
She had already gotten the general idea from Luo Xuan.
Their first mission together was at the age of about ten; Heather, thinking she was seventeen, would feel that it wasn’t a long ti ago, so not rembering her rival’s na seed strange.
However, in reality, it had been over twenty years since their first encounter.
River Sparrow always rembered the na Heather because she had been defeated by her that year, and later Heather’s performance on missions was always top-notch, with excellent results; most people knew her na, so much so that the three characters of Heather often appeared around her.
Each ti she heard it, she rembered it more deeply, regretting that she had lost to her and missed the great opportunity to follow His Majesty and learn.
Heather beca a favorite by His Majesty’s side, able to learn things they couldn’t, while she had beco just an ordinary mber.
One step made all the difference!
