Chapter 210: 209 What was the thinking? Chapter 210: 209 What was the thinking? “””
“…”
At that mont, Shane fell silent.
Watching Lymco bend deeply toward him, bowing his head in earnest sincerity, his words did not seem insincere. Shane narrowed his eyes, seemingly pondering sothing.
While Shane remained silent, Lymco also kept his bowed posture, as if he would never raise his head unless Shane spoke, letting an inexplicable silence begin to spread.
This situation lasted for a quite a while.
Only after a long ti did Shane finally relax his expression.
“First tell one thing,” Shane said, “What exactly is that seemingly impressive father of yours aiming at for?”
This was sothing Shane really wanted to know.
Although there were plenty of reasons for the Nobles in the Royal Capital to target Shane, precisely because there were so many reasons, Shane did not know which one prompted Barry to target him.
“Is it because of Tielle’s matter, or is it because of Luoqi’s matter?”
Shane spoke calmly, prompting Lymco to finally raise his head.
However, just before raising his head, there was a brief flicker in Lymco’s eyes, flashing a glint of sharpness.
It was at that mont when Shane said the na “Luoqi.”
But, that was rely a brief mont.
Because of this brief mont, Shane’s expression also changed briefly before returning to normal.
In this context, Lymco raised his head and revealed the details to Shane.
“It’s because of the princess’s matter,” Lymco said straightforwardly, “My father has always hoped that I could beco the princess’s husband and form a marriage alliance with the Royal Family, to thereby enhance the Sterling Family’s position and power in the Kingdom. As such, your relationship with the princess has sowhat provoked my father.”
Hearing this, Shane’s face showed a mocking expression.
“I see, now I understand the reason,” Shane said with a nod and a half-smile, “What does Young Master Lymco think then?”
“?” Lymco raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “What do you an?”
“Of course I an the Princess,” Shane spread his hands and said, “Your father wants you to have a marriage alliance with the princess. What about you? Do you want to be with the Princess?”
This question seed to stump Lymco.
At least, Lymco didn’t expect Shane to ask this question, appearing speechless and falling silent.
But, after a while, Lymco’s expression relaxed, and he looked straight at Shane.
“I certainly do,” Lymco spoke slowly, “I’m not afraid to tell you, there are countless admirers of the princess, and naturally, I am one of them.”
“Naturally?” Shane’s tone sounded slightly strange.
“Yes, naturally,” Lymco continued unfazed, calmly, “After all, the Princess is so beautiful and so outstanding. No one can match her in appearance, family background, talent, or character. I even believe that only soone like her is worthy of being called a goddess. Aside from the Three Great Goddesses, the rest of the Divine Race probably doesn’t even have the qualifications to be compared to her.”
What Lymco said was sowhat blasphemous.
To say that the creator and the object of worship of the Human Race were not even qualified to be compared to a re mortal, if these words were spread out, probably this young master would suffer, wouldn’t he?
Of course, he understood such a principle.
Yet, he still said it.
Because, that was his sincere truth.
“Such a lady, unprecedented and probably unrepeatable, being born in the sa era as her is definitely a blessing that would make any man ecstatic,” Lymco said with a smile, “In fact, there are many among the Great Nobles who, due to a large age difference, have no right to pursue her.”
“””
As such, Lymco, being a normal male, absolutely had thoughts about the Princess; to say otherwise would be a lie.
“In reality, with my background, the chances of ending up with the Princess are quite high,” Lymco said, not knowing if he was joking or serious. “If I were just an ordinary person, of course, I wouldn’t dare to entertain many ideas. But being so close, the possibility isn’t nonexistent, how can I say I don’t have such thoughts?”
Perhaps, it was for this reason that Lymco chose to speak the truth?
To show his sincerity.
“However, this doesn’t an I would harbor animosity towards you like my father does.”
Lymco finally said what he wanted to say.
“My father thinks that for the sake of our family, for the future, offending soone like you who has no background should not require any hesitation or rcy.”
“That is the biggest difference between my father and .”
“In my view, although you are rely an Adventurer, you definitely won’t settle for diocrity. How great your achievents will be in the future, I believe many can guess.”
“Therefore, I won’t offend you over this matter, you don’t need to worry.”
Lymco’s frank words made Shane quite impressed.
However, Shane still had to ask the question he needed to.
“So, Young Master Lymco, are you planning to give up on the Princess?”
Shane said this as if testing the waters.
“Of course not,” Lymco imdiately replied, still so sure and frank, “I will pursue the Princess openly and honestly, not using underhanded tricks like my father. Would that offend you as well?”
The implication was, if he pursued the Princess openly and honestly and Shane still felt offended, then there was nothing he could do.
“You sure have a way with words.”
Shane couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s just the truth.”
Lymco remained unusually calm.
“Alright, then I understand.” Shane glanced at Lymco and nonchalantly said, “I’ll accept your apology for now.”
“For now?” Lymco caught the emphasis in Shane’s words.
“Yes, for now.” Shane was straightforward, “This ti I can let it go, considering I haven’t suffered any loss, but if there’s a next ti…”
“If there’s a next ti, I won’t say anything,” Lymco took over the conversation without hesitation, “I’ve already done all I could for my family. If my father still lacks discretion and continues to offend you, no matter what you do, I won’t have any complaints.”
“Good,” Shane said briskly, “Rember what you said today.”
“I know.” Lymco smiled, then enthusiastically said, “Are you planning to go to the Underground Magic Book Library? How about I show you the way?”
“No need.” Shane shook his head, “The Princess already said she would show around and introduce to the library; no need to trouble Young Master Lymco.”
“…Is that so?” Lymco paused, then said, “Then I won’t bother you. I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
“Hopefully.” Shane replied, then turned to leave.
Watching Shane’s gradually departing figure, Lymco’s smile slowly faded, and his gaze turned icy.
Imdiately after, Lymco snorted coldly and also turned to leave.
Little did he know, the departing Shane also had an expression on his face.
That expression was quite intriguing.
