Chapter 255 She is scared
I must find Catherine and teach the twins a lesson! Lilith thought.
But before Catherine could find them, they came to the door first.
The narrow gate on the west side of the rose garden is closest to Catherine's dormitory. She usually travels between the dormitory and the student union from here. Usually, few people pass by here, but today, as soon as Catherine approached, she heard laughter coming from the shadows of the flowers.
"Ah, isn't this the princess?" Neva climbed down the fence next to the stone steps and jumped to Catherine's side. "We are playing a game, do you want to join us? If you lose, you have to drink!"
"I have something else to do." Catherine did not stop, nodded to the other students, and was about to pass them.
A footstep followed beside him, it was Neller with a smile on his face.
"What reason will the princess give to reject my invitation to the ball this year? Let me guess..." Neller's hand gently stroked the flower branches on the roadside. "Too tired? Too busy? Not in the mood?"
"Your Highness Niler." Catherine stopped and looked at him, her tone calm.
"You should drop out of school."
"Oh, are you tired of me?" Neller was still laughing, as if he wanted to take the other party's disgust as a reward.
"You don't have to feel inferior. This has nothing to do with it." She said lightly.
"Don't you always say that we are the same kind of people?" Catherine said with an apologetic smile, "Then you should understand me very well -"
"I don't want to waste my time on useless people."
"...You must be drunk, Princess." Neller seemed amused by Catherine's comment and asked again, "I'm useless?"
"Yes, you and I are both speculators, Nerer. Maybe I am a more utilitarian person than you, and you are of no use to me." Catherine confirmed again.
He would most likely not go to Ozler in the future. Keeping such a person on campus would be a sheer waste of food, and would also make silly girls like Anqi lose interest in studying. Even if he really witnessed the current situation in Ozler, perhaps the first thing he would do was to gather the troops of the Mulet Kingdom and strike hard at the Gaia Empire, making the Gaia Empire vulnerable from both sides.
"His Majesty the King likes you very much. Highgarden is prosperous and vast, and there are opportunities everywhere. You may be able to find other ways to stay." Catherine tried to persuade them peacefully.
"You just haven't discovered my good points yet, Catherine." But Neler didn't listen at all. He moved closer, his tone frivolous and his expression ambiguous.
Catherine frowned deeply, and was successfully disgusted by him.
"Am I not as useful as a vain and shallow fool like An Qi? You are so cold-blooded, Princess." He finally broke off the delicate branch and brought the flower close to his nose to smell it.
"If that's how you see her, you should stay away from her." Catherine said coldly.
"Oh, you were afraid that the girl would be heartbroken, so you drove me away." Neller chuckled as if he found it funny.
"Why did you choose Angel, Neral?" Catherine turned around again.
Neller smiled but said nothing. Of course, it was because she was the fastest channel for him to get close to Catherine, and she was very easy to manipulate. With a few sweet words, he could coax her into finding out Catherine's information at any time. But she was really stupid.
"You enjoy the convenience brought by her simplicity, while at the same time you look down on her with condescension." Catherine felt disgusted for Angie. She was like a rag doll that was bought because of its exquisiteness and beauty. But over time, the people who once praised the doll's beauty started to blame it for being filled with sawdust.
"But at least she is useful to you. In comparison, you are useful to me..." Catherine looked at Neller again with a look of judging goods.
"It's just trouble."
Neller's casual smile could no longer be maintained. This princess was now speaking more and more like Lilith!
As the princess was about to walk across the cobblestone path and turn the corner to another fork in the road, Nerer raised his voice with a gloomy face:
"Freya."
The silver hair suddenly stopped, and Neller smiled proudly again.
"It's not like I don't have other options, Catherine." He looked at the princess who turned around with an unhappy expression, and his smile grew wider. "Maybe I can be useful to others?"
"You are very good at doing meaningless things." Catherine said in a cold tone, "Saint Freya was given an oracle by the God of Light when she was born and was accepted into the Church of Light. She has vowed to dedicate her body and mind to light, and to practice hard every day in exchange for serving the gods as soon as possible. No one in the Gaia Empire is more pious to the gods than her. She will not waste time on trivial matters..."
"She sounds like a great princess! Do you know her well?" Neller was very happy. This was the first time Catherine had spoken to him at such length.
"The oracle is not immutable. When the country is in turmoil, even if the princess has become a saint, she may be guided by the gods and return to the world to bring the blessings of light to the world, right?"
"The Gaia Empire is strong and stable, there is no turmoil—"
"What if I go to ask the princess to come out of the tower in person on behalf of the Kingdom of Mulet? Maybe she would be happy to talk to me." Neller looked at Catherine's face and spoke with a smile.
He approached Catherine again and said, "The people will also cheer for this. The princess of the Gaia Empire and the prince of the Mulet Kingdom are a good story no matter how you look at it."
Catherine looked directly into the other's amber eyes and didn't speak for a long time. However, Neller was not in a hurry at all. He just concentrated on smelling the flowers at hand, giving the princess enough time to think.
"I'll wear a black dress to the ball," Catherine finally said.
When a noble lady reveals her ball attire in advance, it means...she has already decided on her ideal dance partner.
Neller showed a triumphant smile, dropped the flowers in his hand, took Catherine's hand, leaned over, "Oh my - that's really..."
"My pleasure." And dropped a kiss.
Catherine quickly pulled her hand away, the whirlwind dancing wildly around her. She cast the cleansing spell on herself over and over again while quickly leaving the garden.
"What? It turns out to be that easy." Neva appeared silently beside Nerelle and crushed the delicate flowers on the ground with his foot. "How boring! I thought we could go to Highgarden to play."
"Boring? I think it's very interesting." Neller was in a good mood and hugged his brother. "Do you know what this means?"
"Isn't it just to continue killing time with this princess..."
"No, she was scared and gave in." Neller held Neva's head and forced him to look at him. Neva then saw that his brother's eyes were slightly red with excitement. "This means that the princess in the tower can indeed pose a threat to her position."
He had never thought of fighting to the death with the cold and hard princess. His words about Freya were a test, and it had yielded the result he wanted most. But it was not enough.
"We should find a chance to meet that saint, dear brother."
