Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

Therefore, I can only live in reality.

Move toward the single goal.

Chapter 89 She is very obedient

[March 7th: Is serving a king like serving a tiger? This Clydela is way too much; she can actually detect lies. Being around her must be incredibly stressful.]

[Fireworks: I feel the simulation is getting better and better. After Lao Qing, I can start properly teaching Crydella.]

[Ruan Mei: This is clearly disgust.]

[Black Tower: @Fireworks, if your eyes are useless, you can donate them to someone who needs them.]

[Haisen: @Fireworks, if you don't speak, then pretend you're mute.]

[Fireworks: Someone's getting anxious.]

Katniss, who was waiting at the door, was getting impatient. When she saw Lu Qing come out, her eyes lit up, and she dragged her ghostly steps to Lu Qing.

"Hey, Lu Qing, how's it going?"

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, she is well aware of her situation and is therefore very obedient."

"Good job. Starting tomorrow, let's brainwash her."

Katniss spoke with a forced smile.

After saying that, she ignored Lu Qing, pushed open the door to the princess's room, and put on a fake smile. Deep in her eyes, there was disdain for her.

"Princess, what do you think of the teacher I found for you today?"

"Could you...could you get me a different one? I don't like him." Her voice was timid.

Of course, this was a lie, merely a tactic she used to deceive Katniss.

Upon hearing this, Katniss chuckled.

It's best if you don't like it.

Since you've accepted the benefits of becoming a puppet princess, how can you expect to live a wonderful life? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

However, while he thought this to himself, he clearly couldn't say it to the naive and innocent young princess in front of him.

“Princess, you are unaware of this. Although Lu Qing is somewhat rude, he is also capable. If you have any questions, you can trust him and ask him for advice.”

“I will trust him, Lady Katniss, thank you for your kindness.”

"Then I won't disturb the princess's rest any longer." Katniss smiled, and having received her answer, she hummed softly and left.

[Star: I feel like Katniss would probably slap herself twice if she knew the truth.]

[March 7th: Not that light.]

[Hanabi: Katniss: I was so stupid, really.]

Seeing Katniss leave, Crydella gently tapped the table with her slender white fingers, creating a rhythmic sound.

Lu Qing has an unknown origin and is extremely untrustworthy, but he is extremely valuable and powerful.

If I could be brought under his wing, my situation would improve considerably, but it seems he really dislikes me.

What a hassle.

Admittedly, I have a weakness that I can use against him.

But it's not foolproof. If the other party gets pushed to the limit and chooses to overturn the table, then there's no going back.

After briefly weighing her options, Kerudela slowly shook her head.

We are currently not qualified to have an equal dialogue with him.

We need to find a way to dispel his prejudice against us first.

Krydella can see through people's hearts, so she can also see through their hypocrisy.

For example, Katniss is timid, selfish, and has a narrow perspective on problems.

For example, the wolves you encounter: greedy, hungry, ravenous, and afraid of your golden blood.

For example, the regent: equally greedy, ambitious, and an absolute selfish man.

But for that masked boy in black, it was completely different.

Kindness, a rarely used word, holds a great place in his heart.

Krydella felt like she was meeting someone like this for the first time.

Moreover, he is very good at hiding his kindness.

Indeed, it's somewhat like a chameleon's camouflage.

Because she can see through people's hearts and lies, Cerberus never trusts anyone.

Because all she could see was a filthy, black mass of pus.

But precisely because she can see through people's hearts and lies, she is now certain that this is the only person she can rely on right now.

[Fireworks: Kerudela: He's different from others.]

[Star: This sounds familiar.]

[Estella: I didn't say that ˉ﹃ˉ]

Kerudela already had an idea on how to change the mind of her subject, who currently disliked her.

The attribute of kindness is so easy to exploit.

She decided to personally save the blueberry cupcakes that she had originally intended to have as a late-night snack for her cheap teacher.

Although he possesses royal blood.

However, Kerudela was also well aware that she had no ability to handle government affairs, let alone the means to improve her current situation.

Perhaps this inexpensive teacher can also teach me some relevant knowledge for a while.

For example, in combat, it is sufficient to deal with the Cleansers' combat capabilities.

For example, she could use her status as a princess to gradually build her image among the citizens and make her reputation a sharp weapon.

[March 7th: Is this how you fleece Labor Market? Don't let them squeeze you dry.]

[Crydella: Don't worry, I have my own rhythm.]

[Haisen: I don't know why, but seeing this always makes me feel uneasy.]

[Crydella: @Haiserin, don't worry, Lord Swordflage, I'm just using him. I won't invest any extra feelings. It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement.]

[Haiserin: Then I'm relieved.]

[Firefly: My silence proves my greatness.]

[Black Tower: @Fireworks, could you please ban Firefly's account?]

[Hanabi: I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to harm the last Grammer.]

Lu Qing arrived at the princess's palace early in the morning.

There was a faint bloodstain on the ground, but it was very faint.

Lu Qing heard that the former princess had been executed, which might be related to this bloodstain.

However, this is just a reasonable speculation.

Krydella was having breakfast at that moment.

It's clear that the specifications aren't low.

Although she was just a puppet princess, she was still treated quite well.

It seems that Katniss is quite fond of this seemingly well-behaved princess.

"Teacher." Upon seeing Lu Qing arrive, Kerudela hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly.

"No need for that. You can eat your food, I'll just stay here."

"Teacher, I thought this blueberry cupcake was delicious yesterday, so I saved a piece for you. Would you like to try some?"

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised by this inexplicable attempt to please.

"What, you don't like it?"

"No, but if someone is being overly solicitous, they're probably up to no good. Just tell me what you want."

"I want you to teach me how to be a qualified leader."

"for example?"

Lu Qing picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"However, if I may be frank, force, if it doesn't reach a certain level, can't really change anything, Cerberus."

Krydella's delicate smile was replaced by a carefree one.

"At least let me die with dignity, right? If possible, I don't want to die as pathetically as that former princess who couldn't resist yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing paused slightly, holding the porcelain cup. He then looked up and met those eyes that were like azure glass.

“Okay, I agree. However, I have never been a leader before, so I may not be able to teach you anything.”

“A lie.” Krydella was somewhat surprised. This was actually a lie. The man in front of her seemed to have a complicated background.

[Fireworks: Previous Recap: Hazel's Simulation!! The Last King.]

[Seele: Wow, one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade!]

[Fireworks: Well said! Just as I suspected. Everything happens for a reason.]

[Heiseyin:...]

[Star: It seems like Heather's voice has faded a bit.]

Chapter 90 If you cause trouble in the future, don't tell anyone about your master.

After his lie was exposed, Lu Qing touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. Logically speaking, he wasn't the king of the Siren clan in the last simulation either.

However, it is true that he slept with the king of the Siren clan.

Meeting Crydella's eager gaze, Lu Qing still reached out and took the plate, savoring the burst of cream mousse in his mouth, which was surprisingly good.

"If you want to learn in the past, I can teach you some basic things without any problem. But if you cause trouble in the future, just don't reveal my name."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Lu Qing felt that he was quite qualified to teach her, at least he wouldn't mislead her.

He himself had saved the Black Tower from the clutches of the Silent Lord.

The first genius of the Elbow Genius Club, Lai Gushi, was over sixty years old.

Even if you say that I'm evenly matched with the envoy, that's perfectly fine.

Lu Qing first demonstrated it once.

"Hold your breath and focus, smash the wooden stake in front of you, just like I just taught you."

Kerudela took a deep breath, then raised the wooden sword in her hand high. The sword, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed hard into the wooden stake.

Lu Qing glanced at the slightly trembling wooden stake, his expression unchanged.

"Your strength is still a bit lacking, but with more practice, it will improve. We'll talk about the more complex variations after you've mastered this move."

"understood."

[Fireworks: Lu Qing: Defeat it, just like I taught you.]

[Firefly: Lu Qing: Kill me, just like I taught you?]

[March 7th: Wait, who turned you into this?!]

Lu Qing had nothing to do at the moment, so he sat on a chair to the side and watched Kerudela raise her wooden sword again and again and slash down.

Sweat streamed down her delicate face, just as a ray of sunlight shone through the window, like a warm veil draped over her face.

Is it really possible to work like an idiot even when it's all pointless effort? There's just no way around it.
