Chapter 69: A Spiteful Decision
Diana crouched in the shadows of the cage.
She hugged her knees, her chin resting on them, her eyes fixed on her toes, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her delicate skin.
Huh?
Vanessa rubbed her eyes, her expression incredulous. “I checked the rooftop before, there was no one there.”
“Sometimes you should believe in miracles, not your eyes. Magician Lena is skilled at bringing miracles to polite audiences.” Lena raised an eyebrow, her smile wicked and beautiful. “And to perform the next trick, Magician Lena needs the help of a capable assistant…”
Diana seemed to be asleep.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she woke up from her slumber, her elegant lolita dress slightly dusty, adding a touch of earthly beauty.
Confused, Diana looked around frantically, as if unaware of anything amiss. “How did I get… Lena… no! Where’s Senior Weakling?!”
She saw Lena lying in a pool of blood, and Vanessa, her hands covered in blood, her expression blank.
“What… what happened?”
Her mouth opened slightly in shock. Smelling the blood, Diana rushed over, forgetting her usual grace, first checking Lena’s “injuries,” then standing up and confronting Vanessa.
“How could you hurt her? She’s my dog!”
Diana’s childish voice was sharp and shrill. “Although I don’t know how you defeated Lena, the facts speak for themselves. You can’t escape suspicion, even if you’re the hero’s fiancée!”
You don’t have to love, but please don’t hurt.
Diana had finally found the perfect toy, and Vanessa had ruined it… She hadn’t even had a chance to play with Lena yet!
Hmph, annoying.
And Senior Weakling had even given her that interesting pinwheel; she had already forgiven Lena’s rudeness.
Speaking of which, where was the pinwheel?
Huh?
And… how did she get here?
Diana racked her brain, but couldn’t figure it out.
Vanessa, knowing the truth, remained silent, flipping through a book, her gaze unfocused.
“Anyway, you have to compensate me!”
“Huh? Why?” Vanessa closed her book with a snap, her bare feet dangling in the air, kicking impatiently.
“Ahem, I mean…” Diana hesitated. As royalty, she couldn’t afford to offend the hero’s side, but given her personality, she wouldn’t let this go so easily. She softened her tone, saying, “Take us away from here, you can do that, right?”
“Is that part of our agreement?”
“Yes.” Diana remembered their cooperation, nodding. “Caramy should have told you, about the cooperation.”
Vanessa sneered. “Plotting against Lena, and when the plan failed, using spatial magic to escape. Hmph, such underhanded tactics from royalty…”
“You didn’t have to say that last part.”
Diana pouted, inwardly fuming.
Considering Vanessa’s engagement to the hero, she couldn’t openly retaliate. How infuriating.
When had she ever been treated like this?
She would remember this!
“Hurry up, what if it delays her treatment? Can you take responsibility for that?!” Diana could only regain some face by acting like the employer, demanding justice for her beloved “dog.”
“Idiot,” Vanessa rolled her eyes.
Hey, she was the one who started the insults!
Diana’s veins bulged, and she clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. “Stupid weakling!!”
“I don’t talk to creatures lower than the parasitic flies on a Hippora bull.”
She even brought her family into it! How vicious!
Diana retorted, “You’re the same! You’re insulting yourself!”
“Heh.” Vanessa tossed her hair, revealing her pointed ears. “My mother is a noble, pure-blooded flower elf. I’m different from all of you, understand? You little goblin, you should dig a hole and bury yourself, then take a piss and see how stupid you look.”
“Reflect!”
“Idiot.”
“Reflect!”
“Where is your royal dignity? If you have the ability, refute me directly, instead of repeating yourself, you onion-headed dwarf.”
“Waaah… weakling! Don’t insult me, weakling, waaaah…”
Diana’s voice wavered, her imposing presence weakening..
But Vanessa, enjoying her verbal assault, pressed her advantage, her lips curling into a smirk. “Are you a child? Is that all you can say?”
A critical hit!
Being verbally abused…
Diana’s age advantage was useless against someone her own age.
Diana was on the verge of tears.
Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.
“Crying?” Vanessa lay on her carpet, circling Diana in the air. “Seems like you’re still a child. Do you need a lollipop? Or should I send you home to your mommy?”
Diana wasn’t crying, she just had something in her eye.
Her voice choked with resentment, “Just send me home… no, to the Smith Lake Hotel!”
Hearing this unexpected destination, Vanessa paused, asking hesitantly, “Are you sure?”
“Yes!” Diana blurted out without thinking.
“Alright, I understand.” Vanessa looked at Lena, still lying “dead” on the ground, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, quickly replaced by resolve. “This is Your Highness’s decision, I have no right to interfere… Please step back, long-distance spatial magic requires some preparation.”
“Heave-ho—!”
Diana struggled to lift the “unconscious” Lena, placing Lena’s arm around her neck, then lifting her onto her shoulder. “Stinky weakling, you’re so heavy! I’m taking Lena, you just have to teleport us… Ugh, such a heavy, soft bag, don’t press against me, ugh! Ugh!!”
Lena’s large breasts smothered Diana’s face, her consciousness fading, a natural, faint fragrance filling her nostrils, mixed with the scent of freshly cut grass. If she focused, she could even feel silken ribbons flowing around her, like being immersed in a field of lavender.
It was Lena’s scent, hers alone…
Diana suddenly woke up, the scene around her dreamlike, couples embracing, their fingers intertwined, everything surreal, like a dream.
The moon was bright, the lights twinkling, she was on a small island in the middle of a lake on the border of the Almeria Empire.
This was a famous honeymoon spot, and Diana’s impulsive decision…
“We’re actually here?”
Diana murmured, her surprise turning into panic, her heels stomping the ground.
“I was just being spiteful… how did we actually get here?! Damn you, Vanessa!! Send me back!!!”
