"By the way, Miss, I'm here to protect you under Boss 'orders. Also, please go upstairs and change into your gown.”
Claude seemed to have finally remembered his job. He pushed his glasses with his hand. The white light refracted from the lenses made his expression look very serious, as if he was doing his job.
"Eh? Change into a gown? Didn't Daddy say that he would help me reject her tonight?”
Kirizaki Chiji looked up at Claude in surprise and confusion.
"Yes, that's right. It's just that things have changed now, and I don't have much time to explain. Anyway, your fiancé has changed, and this is also the life and death of our 'Hive.' Even if you're unwilling, please don't blame me for being rude, maid!”
Claude's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking Kirizaki Chishina up from his head to toe.
Claude made a gesture behind him, and then there were a few dense footsteps around him. They were the maids who took care of Kirizaki Chiji's daily life in the castle.
The maids formed a circle around Kirizaki Chiji. Dozens of pairs of eyes quietly waited for her decision.
"Didn't Dad say that he would protect me and let me make my own decisions in the future? Why now…"
Kirizaki Chiji's voice became a little hoarse. There was anger in her voice, as well as helplessness. Her expression became pitiful and filled with unease.
“……”
No one dared to answer Kirizaki Chiji's question. All of them lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at her. All of them remained silent.
Dozens of people stood in the back garden without making a sound--except for the occasional cold night breeze.
The girl's mood and hope were also blown away by the cold wind.
This kind of silent silence was sometimes even crueler than a decisive speech.
The beauty of fairy tales made people yearn for them, not because of how attractive the plot was, but because of the cruelty of reality.
"Young miss, please…"
Claude's face twitched a few times. The blissful smile had completely disappeared from Kirizaki Chiji's pretty face, as if it had been forever left behind in the space-time corridor of history. Her current condition was even more serious than before today. She looked like an exquisite doll that had lost her soul.
" Damned 'barbecued pork party'…I, Claude, will never forgive you!'
'If it wasn't for the' barbecued pork gang 'going back on their word inexplicably and simply breaking off the engagement, how could things have turned out like this? The alliance between the Hive and the Jiying Group was forced.'
This was Claude's deepest thought.
……
" Sigh, if the 'Gathering Group' were to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there wouldn't be so many things. I don't even have the chance to explain what the 'Barbecued pork gang' is doing. From the perspective of the 'Barbecued pork gang,' they probably think that we invited the 'Gathering Group' on purpose and are provoking them…Destroying the power supply room should be a signal that the 'Barbecued pork gang' is declaring war on us, but we didn't have any information about their relationship before.'
Thinking of this, Aderuto frowned even more, but he could only pull himself together and force a smile. From the information that the intelligence personnel had just given him, the relationship between the " barbecued pork gang " and the " hero gathering group " was no longer simply described as " bad ", but " irreconcilable." One was protecting his own territory, and the other was mercilessly invading.
How could there be peace between the invaders and the guardians?
Aderuto had completely given up on giving an explanation to the " barbecued pork gang ". After all, he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Their " Hive " had no other choice. In order to protect themselves, they could only join forces with the " Jiying Group."
……
"Young miss…I think…uh…you should cheer up.”
The maid looked at Kirizaki Chiji in the mirror and comforted him.
She was born beautiful, and after some light makeup and expensive gowns, even if she was expressionless, her beauty had reached a shocking level.
“……”
The elf in front of the mirror didn't seem to hear the maid's words. Even the maids around her could feel that her heart was empty.
"I heard that your new fiancé is very handsome. I've also taken a look at him. He's quite handsome. If I remember him better, his hair is blue, but unfortunately, he's a little short.”
A middle-aged female servant who looked like she was acting suddenly gossiped. She did not have any hope of saving Kirizaki Chishina's current condition, so she just said it casually... Unexpectedly...
"Handsome? Blue…hair?"
Kirizaki Chiji finally had a slight reaction, which made the maids heave a sigh of relief. After all, they did not want to see the young miss not angry. Her beautiful red lips moved slightly, as if she had not heard the last part of the maid's words and had only been thinking about the first half.
Suddenly, Kirizaki Chiji seemed to have thought of something and regained her liveliness. Her cheeks were rosy and her face was beautiful. At this moment, she was as beautiful as heaven and earth. Even the lights in the bedroom seemed to have dimmed in an instant. Her beauty stunned the female servants around her. There was only one figure left in their line of sight.
"Is it…him?"
The girl murmured softly.
……
On the way to Chen, Zucang Yi sorted out all the information in his mind.
The current situation looked chaotic, but it was actually very simple.
It was mainly because the misunderstanding between the three of them was more like a chain reaction.
However, other than Zou Cangyi himself who knew the ins and outs of the matter and the cause and effect, the other two were completely unaware of the situation.
From Zoucangyi's perspective, there were three misunderstandings.
At first, Zoucangyi thought that the " beehive " was using their " barbecued pork gang " to break off the engagement. This was the first misunderstanding.
At this time, the " Jiying Group " arrived at the base of the " Hive ", and Chen went to break off the engagement. After breaking off the engagement, from Adruto's expression, Zokurayi knew that the " Hive " did not use them.
At this moment, the first misunderstanding was resolved.
However, Chen didn't know at that time, so he didn't give face and forcefully broke off the engagement. It made the " beehive " mistakenly think that it was because of the arrival of the " Jiying Group " and made the " barbecued pork gang " think that they were provoking them, so they forcefully broke off the engagement. This was the second misunderstanding, and they didn't contact each other.
Because of Chen's actions, Zokurayi guessed that the " Beehive " had begun to misunderstand and wanted to save them. In order to buy time, Zokurayi ordered Chen to destroy the power supply room. Unfortunately, Zokurayi could not rush over quickly because of Kirizaki Chiji. Then, their destruction of the power supply room was discovered by the " Beehive ", which was interpreted as a signal of war by the " barbecued pork gang ". The misunderstanding deepened again. This was the third misunderstanding that had not been resolved yet.
Now, Zoucangyi was the only one who knew the situation and could jump out of it.
The above was the cause of everything.
PS: The readers should be able to understand it. If I do this, I'll be suspected of having too many words. However, I'll still post it. After all, some of the reviews still say that I don't understand it, or that my writing is a mess. I can only say that I tried my best. After all, my personal level is limited (sincere).
