Chapter 32 How dare you draw him at my feet?

"Short-term," Su Mobai said. "Sometimes, identity is more useful than ability, especially before the old order completely collapses."

Keisha looked at him. "Then how dare you draw him at my feet?"

Su Mobai looked up.

Keisha's voice was soft, but Su Mobai could detect a hint of pleasure in it, "And the drawing is so... messy."

"Do you know that if that painting gets out, Hua Ye will kill you?"

Su Mobai remained silent for a moment.

"Know."

Keisha looked at him. "Then why are you still painting?"

Su Mobai did not sit down and answer immediately.

He stood up, walked around the table, and went to Keisha.

This distance is a bit close.

Closer than a normal conversation.

Keisha didn't move, but simply looked up at him. Her hand was still resting beside the teacup, her fingers neither tightening nor pulling away. She wanted to see what Su Mobai would say this time.

Su Mobai bent down.

I didn't touch her.

He simply stopped beside her ear, his voice very low.

"Because I want you to be the future king of angels."

Keisha's breath hitched, and she looked up at him.

She knew what she wanted from a young age.

I want to stand higher.

I want to trample on those rotten rules.

They wanted to prevent Melos from having to constantly bow down to Tiancheng.

She wanted to ensure that someone like Hua Ye would never have the chance to lay a hand on her and Liang Bing.

She didn't say these words to Liang Bing, nor to her father. Her father could sense something, but only a little. Because it wasn't the right time, because saying it too early would sound arrogant and ridiculous.

But Su Mobai said it anyway.

It's as if he's already seen the path for her.

Why?

Su Mobai straightened up, but did not retreat too far.

He looked at Keisha, his serious expression lasting less than a moment before the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Would you like to hear the righteous and awe-inspiring version, or my version?"

Keisha's eyes flickered slightly. "Your version."

Su Mobai nodded and said seriously, "Think about it."

"The Queen of the Future Angels is my wife."

He paused, his tone unusually sincere.

"Isn't this interesting?"

The room fell silent.

Keisha looked at him.

Su Mobai was also looking at her.

He was prepared to be met with her cold stare, and also prepared for her to say "How dare you!"

Keisha laughed.

It wasn't a polite smile, nor was it a faint curve pressed against the corners of the lips.

She actually laughed.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear and distinct, like a pebble breaking the surface of still water. As she lowered her head, a bit of her blonde hair fell down, which she then gently tucked behind her ear with her fingertips.

Su Mobai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

But the next moment, Keisha suddenly stood up.

The distance between the two suddenly closed.

Su Mobai had been leaning down to speak to her, but now that she stood up, they were standing face to face. Keisha was taller than the average woman and had a strong presence; when she stood up, the oppressive feeling almost pressed against her chest.

Su Mobai instinctively wanted to back away.

Keisha didn't loosen her grip on his sleeve.

"You were talking so smoothly just now," she looked at him, "and now you want to back out?"

Su Mobai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "I'm leaving some space for the future queen."

"Come on."

Keisha's voice was calm, yet carried a hint of initiative he had never heard before: "You said you wanted me to be queen, so tell me."

She took half a step forward.

Su Mobai's back almost hit the edge of the table.

Keisha looked up at him, her golden hair falling to her shoulders. The smile in her eyes had faded somewhat, leaving behind something brighter and sharper.

"What must I do to become the Queen of Angels?"

"wait."

Keisha's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Wait?"

"Wait for the right opportunity," Su Mobai said. "To be more precise, wait for Hua Ye to take over."

Keisha did not immediately refute.

She sat down again, her fingers lightly resting on the edge of the table. "Are you waiting for him to ascend the throne?"

"right."

"Why not stop him now?"

"We can't stop him now," Su Mobai replied quickly. "He is the son of King Hua Que. As long as King Hua Que is still alive, and as long as the order of Tiancheng hasn't collapsed, his bloodline and status are the greatest protection."

He looked at Keisha, "Taking action against him now would only bolster his position. All those who have vested interests will stand up to protect him, because they are not protecting Hua Ye himself, but their own positions."

Keisha's expression darkened slightly.

Su Mobai's words were very harsh.

But it's very accurate.

"Then let him go up?" she asked.

"Let him go up there." Su Mobai nodded. "Let him sit on the throne until it's worn out."

Keisha stared at him. "Go on."

Su Mobai picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The tea had gone a little cold, but he used that time to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

"Based on my understanding of Hua Ye, once he has secured his position, his first priority will not be to reorganize Tiancheng, nor to stabilize morale, nor will he think about how to continue the order of the Angelic Civilization."

Keisha asked, "What will he do?"

"Play."

Su Mobai looked up. "Enjoyment."

Keisha did not move.

Su Mobai continued, "What does he like the most? Beautiful female angels, female angels with good figures, female angels with big breasts, female angels that he can manipulate, take from, and show off at will."

Upon hearing this, Keisha's smile vanished completely.

It's not shame or anger.

It's cold.

Su Mobai could see it clearly; the light in her eyes hadn't disappeared, but had instead become even sharper.

"So after he takes over, the status of the female angels will definitely decline," Su Mobai said, "and not just a little bit."

Keisha's fingers slowly tightened.

"Go on."

"He'll make it seem natural," Su Mobai said. "At first, it might just be a pleasure within the palace, a trend among the nobles, a way to possess and reward beautiful female angels. Then the people below will learn from him, flatter him, and take it to the extreme."

He paused.

"In the end, female angels will be turned into a resource."

The room fell silent.

This statement carries more weight than any curse.

Keisha looked at Su Mobai, her breathing becoming a little heavier than before.

She had certainly seen these signs before.

In Tiancheng, some male angelic nobles already had such shadows. However, with King Huaque still alive, the old order had not been completely broken, and many things were hidden under etiquette, bloodlines, marriage contracts, and power, so no one dared to truly tear off the mask.

If Hua Ye takes over.

That thing will be released.

Su Mobai wasn't just talking nonsense.

This is the most likely future.

Keisha slowly straightened up, her voice even lower than before, "And then?"

"Then there will be oppression." Su Mobai looked up at her. "With oppression comes resistance."

Keisha's eyes widened slightly.

Su Mobai said, "If you step forward now, not many people will follow. Because most people haven't been forced to that point yet."

They would be afraid, they would hesitate, they would feel that Tiancheng was too big, the royal power too heavy, and that even if Hua Ye was inferior, he was still a king.

"But what if they're actually trampled underfoot?"
