Chapter 526 But I just like you, Princess

Exit the dungeon, get on the carriage, and return to the manor.

All in one go.

When Luo Wei was forcibly taken into the bathroom by the White Bell Knight, with only a short bath towel on his body that could barely cover his private parts, his eyes involuntarily froze for a moment.

This is……?
He was led by the maid to sit in the bathtub. The little ghost opposite him was sitting on the stone platform beside the bathtub, wearing a very vague bathrobe and looking down at him.

Luo Wei opened his mouth slightly, then immediately stood up from the water.

There's really nothing I can do about you.

Just as he did this, Lovelli, who was folding her arms, crossed her legs and pressed them down as a gesture, looking at him with a cold expression.

There is really nothing I can do about you...

Luo Wei was of course aware of her plan. He pursed his lips and sat back down.

"Let's talk frankly."

Be honest.

The two of them were at opposite ends of the bathroom, separated by the entire length of the bathtub. It was quiet enough that she could hear her voice echoing back.

Is this the way she chose? No matter how you look at it, it is obviously a violation to wear a yukata like that to take a bath.

Luo Wei was at a loss, "Actually there's really nothing to talk about. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore."

"What about Seya?" Lovely looked at him expressionlessly. "Who do you ask her to deliver letters to every day? The amount for this item alone is 962 Sen 26 Lin 80 Mu. Do you think I can't remember the accounts like Saya? When did delivering letters require such a large expense?"

"That is……"

"I know. You used it to buy intelligence, right?" Luo Fuli interrupted him. She was sitting on the stone platform with her legs crossed. She was obviously taller than Luo Wei who was sitting in the water. "You got all the information, the movements of the nobles, and the counterattacks when dealing with the opponent's offensive. I think the information in it was obtained from it. I feel like there is always some force helping me secretly."

"..."

What she said may not be entirely true.

To some extent, Nunnuni did help a lot, but without his experience in the previous round, he wouldn't be so confident.

"In fact, this is already a discounted price," Luo Wei said helplessly, "It's worth the money."

"I'm not discussing with you whether it's worth it or not," Lovell raised her chin. "In fact, I've already instructed the Chamber of Commerce to continue approving funds for you. At that time, although I didn't know what you were going to do, I trusted you, so I thought this was the tacit understanding that should exist between the two of us. There's no need for you to waste time on these tedious matters."

"I know." Luo Wei looked at her awkwardly. "As for the Inquisition, you helped me to get connections privately, didn't you?"

"uh-huh?"

Lovell did not deny this.

Politics is complicated, and naturally has its tedious and inflexible parts. She knows that he always has plans, so all she can do is to let him concentrate on what he should do without having to worry about interpersonal relationships and formalities, including that all actions allowed by his own camp are "no approval required."

"But do you trust me?" she asked suddenly.

She asked this while looking at the man in the water calmly.

"You are responsible for much more things than I am," Luo Wei looked at her with cold sweat, "I never asked you whether the execution went smoothly. Doesn't this count as trust?"

"Of course." Lovely said, crossing her arms.

There were some things he still wasn't going to say.

The two of them had indeed always cooperated with each other through tacit understanding. She certainly knew that the other party trusted her ability in this area, and there was no need for them to confirm anything with each other.

"But what about bad things?" Lovely said calmly.

"..."

Luo Wei lowered his head and looked at the ripples on the water.

She really didn't give herself a chance to cover up.

No matter what kind of movement happened under her control, she was the first to notice it. Every incident pointed to him. Her keen intuition made her realize that she had done a lot of things in secret, and the reasoning she derived from this made her notice his flaws.

Luo Fuli looked at him and asked, "You expect me to take responsibility for the good things and solve the bad things by myself in private, is that what you think?"

"Isn't this good?" Luo Wei restrained his expression and said.

She is indeed a little too smart.

In fact, she doesn't need to worry about these things, at least she doesn't need to be bothered by them, but she seems to have to hold on to this point. What exactly does she want to take on?
Lovely lowered her head as well.

"It was the same with rescuing the orc slaves and killing Nigel. You handled it very well, making decisions without any hesitation. Even I felt relieved. But can I just watch and tell myself to pretend I know nothing in front of others?" Her emotions began to waver uncontrollably. She closed her eyes and lowered her head. "When we left White Harbor, on the day we made a promise in the tent, why did I want to work hard and make it useful?!"

"...!"

Luo Wei was stunned when he saw her.

Lovely hung her head and looked very frustrated. "I can't help with the battle at all. I don't have the craftsmanship of Cloche. I have studied magic for a long time but my level is still half-baked. Even the identity of a princess is not only mine. Now even these things need your help to solve all the bad problems, and leave the rest to me."

"What role do you hope I can play?"

Her cries echoed in the empty bathroom.

She slowly raised her head and looked at him with resentment: "Do you hope that I am just a puppet? A puppet who fulfills his obligations, a vase called the princess? The one who needs your protection in both battle and politics, then whether you support me or Lucas, it actually has no effect on you at all!!"

Luo Wei listened to her words and vented the emotions that were pent up in his heart, and pursed his lips in silence.

He finally understood what she cared about.

"Baron Rizzan concealed a prophecy about blood sacrifice," Luo Wei closed his eyes and said, "It is true that there will be a fire in the capital."

"...?"

Luo Wei explained the whole thing expressionlessly, including that the Red Needle Man's intention might be to force her to be unable to turn a blind eye to the people and put her on the moral trial stand.

After hearing this, Lovelli's eyes widened for a moment.

"I secretly had someone pass on this news in the tavern," Luo Wei raised his head and said, "Now do you understand why I didn't want you to know?"

"This kind of thing... I... you actually..."

Tears welled up in Loveli's eyes. What she cared about was not how difficult this matter was to solve, but that he really was... bearing the dilemma that should have been borne by her alone.

Then... who am I? Among all of them, am I not worthy of him thinking that I have the ability to solve the problem on my own? Am I just a drag?
"I'm sorry." Luo Wei apologized sincerely, "I didn't realize your determination."

Luo Wei bit his lip awkwardly and looked at him. Luo Wei couldn't deny that he was a little self-righteous in these matters. To some extent, the intelligence from the first week made him accustomed to doing so, ignoring how determined she was to play a role and how much she hoped to play a crucial role in the whole thing.

"I'm sorry," Luo Wei lowered his head and said again, "but there is one thing I must correct you about."

"...?"

He stood up from the water. Perhaps being honest with each other like this would make it easier for them to speak their minds. Even if he wanted to hide it, he would unconsciously avoid her gaze and feel embarrassed when he was perfunctory in this state.

Come to Loveli.

Luo Wei slowly squatted down and gently placed a kiss on the instep of his foot above the water.

"I didn't choose you because you are a princess, but just because you happen to be a princess."

"What?"

Luo Wei gently held her ankle and raised his head and said, "Even if you give me ten thousand chances to do it again, I will not choose any of your brothers or sisters. It must be you."

Lovely: “……!”

She closed her eyes tightly, subconsciously denying that this was just sweet talk and she must not be fooled by him.

If I were deceived by him, I...

"That's because you haven't met my third sister yet!" she protested. "She's beautiful and enthusiastic, and her knowledge and communication skills are better than mine. And my fourth sister, although she's introverted, she's the most knowledgeable scholar on the continent, and her short golden-blue hair is also very beautiful..."

"I chose you because you are the only one who dares to confront the Prime Minister head-on," Luo Wei said, his eyes fixed on her, "even after you failed once."

Then he suddenly felt amused and said, "Besides, what does this have to do with appearance? Even if we compare, it's not like I haven't seen their portraits in the palace. In my opinion, they are far inferior to you."

Lovely: “!!”

It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s all fake.

I can not……

"I never doubt your political ability and skills. If I were to handle those things myself, I would have a lot of headaches. I don't have the confidence that I can do better than you." Luo Wei continued, "It was indeed wrong of me to hide some things from you. I wanted to protect you from these troubles. Maybe it's because I have other extravagant thoughts about you besides being a monarch, so I can't help but want to protect you."

"!!"

Lovell cried.

She grumbled aggrievedly: "When did I say I liked you? How could you say such things to me..."

Luo Wei gently carried her down from the stairs.

"But I just like you, Princess."

"!!"

Lovely buried her face beside him, her elbows on his shoulders, her face full of tears.

"That's too cunning..."

"What should I do then?" Luo Wei smiled. "If I don't say this, how can I impress the princess?"

"Who said I was...moved..." Loveli burst into tears.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry..." Luo Wei didn't expect that this guy would be like this when he was emotional. He felt that she was very cute and stroked her back.

In fact, that time in the tent in Baigang Town with her face covered with hair, she cried so hard that even if she couldn't say she loved him, it gently opened a window on the wall of her heart.

So cute.

"Wuwuwawa... I'm not done with you yet," Luo Fuli cried, she had a lot of accounts to settle with him, "What happened when you were lying on my bed that day... What did you do with Anan Ning when you disappeared for a day... Why is there another woman pestering you... How many things have you done behind my back, wow wow...!"

Luo Wei's mouth twitched tremblingly.

I didn't ask any questions when I punished him yesterday, but how come I asked all of them today?

She clearly asked him to be honest, but in the end she was affected and spoke out all the thoughts that she had been holding back.

This is also self-inflicted to some extent...

"...I don't care!" Lovely suddenly reacted.

"Okay... I don't mind it, I don't mind it..." Luo Wei patted her back like he was coaxing a child, "How could a princess like you be unhappy because another woman is getting close to me?"

Lovely was stunned for a moment and cried even harder.

"Wow!!"

Luo Wei supported her in the water, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It was hard to tell whether he cared or not.

"I'm not done with you!" Lovely cried and howled, "I will notify the people myself, and I will do it now. You don't need to worry about it..."

"Okay," Luo Wei said obediently as he held her, but he gently pinched her chin and lifted her face.

"Then...can I kiss you?"

No response was a response. Luo Wei picked up her jaw corner, slowly moved closer and kissed her.

Two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of Loveli's eyes. They closed their eyes and kissed each other in the pool where only the two of them were.

"..."

Seya, who was hiding nearby, was stunned.

In the pool filled with smoke, the only thing between the two of them was a soaked bathrobe...

By the time Lovely realized it, it was too late.

She opened her eyes wide in astonishment and suddenly pushed Luo Wei away. She fell into the pool and choked, but she quickly climbed out, her face blushing and only her head showing.

Lovell's face turned completely red.

When I kissed him——

Her leg clearly tripped over something.

"..."
