"Edward, I'm coming!"
Elizabeth ran in happily and looked around, looking for Fang Qingyan.
It was time for the monthly "story meeting" again. Every time it came to this day, it was the happiest time for her.
"Your Highness, what story do you want to hear today?”
Fang Qingyan's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Elizabeth with his dark and deep eyes.
When Elizabeth saw him appear, she quickly ran over with her white dress. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Fang Qingyan."I'll listen to whatever story you tell me.”
"Oh? Then I'll just say it casually."
Fang Qingyan raised his eyebrows at her. His handsome face looked angular under the candlelight, and his smile was infectious.
"Yes."
She nodded, and her pretty face was slightly red. She subconsciously avoided Fang Qingyan's gaze." You…How have you been recently?”
Fang Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed."I've always been fine. Why do you ask?”
" I've asked Butler Bard. Ever since you came here, you haven't left the library…" Elizabeth's beautiful face furrowed slightly. Her aqua blue eyes were filled with concern as she stuttered," What I mean is…if you feel lonely, I can ask the butler to change your job, for example…for example…"
She suddenly became very shy. She rubbed her hands nervously.
He seemed too embarrassed to speak.
"Like what?"
Fang Qingyan narrowed her eyes.
Elizabeth's beautiful little face hesitated for a second, then she gritted her teeth and made up her mind. Her gaze became determined. She suddenly raised her head and met Fang Qingyan's sharp gaze without avoiding it.
"You…you can be my knight!”
Fang Qingyan's eyes widened.
Joanna's mouth was wide open…Calm down, Princess! Do you know what a knight means?
A knight's status was undoubtedly higher than Joanna's personal maid. Once she became Elizabeth's knight, it meant that Fang Qingyan had become the person she trusted the most. In contrast, Fang Qingyan had to be absolutely loyal to the princess... and only to her!
The most important thing was that the two of them would be together day and night from now on. They would be inseparable.
It was not a Royal Knight, but a Princess 'Knight.
If it were anyone else, they would have fainted from excitement!
A lowly servant who was promoted to the knight of the princess was like a eunuch in the palace who suddenly became the emperor…It was so exaggerated!
……
Elizabeth's face was so red that it was about to bleed, but she still looked at Fang Qingyan's face expectantly and hopefully, waiting for his reply.
Fang Qingyan was silent for a few seconds, thinking about a very serious question in his heart.
Knight? Who do you want me to ride?
Cough cough…Stop thinking nonsense.
He looked apologetic and shook his head politely.""I'm sorry to disappoint you, Your Highness. I don't feel lonely. On the contrary, I enjoy living alone. A quiet environment could calm one's mind, clear one's mind, and strengthen one's will.”
"But you're alone in such a large library. How can you not be lonely?”
Y'lisabet was a little anxious, but she was still trying her best." Blood Breeds are social animals. If you become my knight, we can meet and chat every day.”
Actually, she just wanted to see Fang Qingyan often.
Every time she returned to her bedroom after listening to the story, she would feel empty in her heart. She could not sleep at the thought of having to wait for another month before they could meet again.
He just did not know if Elizabeth simply could not forget Fang Qingyan's story or if there was another reason.
"Perhaps I'm an exception. I'm not suited to living in groups, and I like to be alone…Your Highness, there's no need to say anything else. If you still treat me as a friend, please respect my choice.”
Fang Qingyan shook her head and refused firmly again.
Lions and tigers were always alone. Only foxes and dogs would form groups. This meant that powerful people were always lonely, because they were powerful enough to deal with all changes and dangers alone.
…This was said by a literary scholar named Hu Shi.
Fang Qingyan agreed.
"Really? You…you should think about it."
"I really can't."
"Alright then." Elizabeth's beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, and her heart was filled with disappointment.
Fang Qingyan frowned, wondering if he had rejected her too ruthlessly and made her sad.
He hesitated for a moment and revealed a gentle smile."Your Highness, if you really want to hear a story, why don't I tell you two stories every month?”
He thought Elizabeth would be happy.
However, there was no smile on her face.
"I actually…I…"
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, but she wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she silently lowered her head.
I like you.
It was such a simple sentence, a line that would appear in every romance novel. She had seen countless girls say this to the men they loved in books, and she had also seen countless men reply to girls with " me too."
But when it was her turn, Elizabeth could not open her mouth.
He's just a servant of a family. If I suddenly say this, I reckon it will scare him, right? " He'll feel fear. He'll be afraid of my identity as a princess, afraid of my father…" Elizabeth's eyes flickered, and her mind churned.
In a strictly hierarchical society, it was destined to be painful for people of unequal status to fall in love.
For example, Camilla and Castin.
Castin was a noble earl with a fief and a private army, but after falling in love with the princess of the royal family, he was still covered in blood!
Fang Qingyan's current status was only a small servant, not even as good as Castin.
If he really dared to cross the line, the consequences were obvious…he would be mercilessly killed!
Although Elizabeth was a shut-in, she was not ignorant.
She started to worry.
Fang Qingyan remained silent.
He didn't read Elizabeth's mind.
However, he was not an idiot. How could he not feel Elizabeth's feelings for him?
In fact, he had already felt it a month ago, but he was not sure…Now he was sure.
"Alright, I understand."
Elizabeth lowered her head. Her silver hair covered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly." I…I'll come again next time."”
"But the story hasn't been told yet."
Fang Qingyan said to her.
Elizabeth shook her head." Let's go together next time, Joanna. Let's go back."”
She stole a glance at Fang Qingyan from the corner of her eye and quickly retracted her gaze.
Fang Qingyan had refused to be her knight. Elizabeth felt that she was only in a one-sided relationship. He did not like her, so she felt very uncomfortable.
He came with anticipation and left dejectedly.
"Your Highness!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind. Elizabeth's body froze, and her ears perked up.
"The joy of love is mixed with tears, but the pain of love is sweeter than all other joys. I hope you like it.”
Elizabeth muttered, repeating the same sentence in her heart. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and the decadence on her face was swept away, replaced by the usual vigor.
"Alright, I'll remember that!"
She shouted," I will come again!”
