The Abused Novel Heroine Became a Clingy Sweetheart [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 29

Yugris’s mind was racing. His body was frozen in place, and he even forgot about changing his clothes.

“What’s wrong?” You Ting’s lips curved into a smile, as she feigned ignorance, “Does Your Highness wish to refuse me?”

“Of course not.”

Yugris’s tone carried a hint of negotiation, “It’s just that I might have other matters that day. Perhaps you could choose another date?”

You Ting supported her chin with her finger and let out a soft “Hmm,” then said, “But I heard that the spectacular sight of the Dreamy Sea Fish Shoal Dance can only be seen the day after tomorrow. If we miss it, we’ll have to wait decades.”

The smile at the corner of her lips slowly faded. She stood up and looked down at Yugris from above.

Her sapphire eyes were filled with cold indifference. “Since Your Highness is so busy, then I won’t bother you any further.”

She nodded to Claude beside her as a signal: “Let’s go.”

After You Ting and Claude had walked a few steps, her light voice drifted into Yugris’s ears—

“Pack up, let’s return home. There doesn’t seem to be anything fun here.”

Claude glanced sideways at Yugris and snorted disdainfully, “Understood, Your Highness.”

“No!”

Yugris immediately stood up, regardless of his wine-soaked clothes, and took three steps forward to grab You Ting’s arm.

His voice was hurried and anxious: “Princess Stelly, I think you’ve misunderstood.”

You Ting frowned, visibly disgusted, and yanked her arm back.

She gave Yugris a sideways look, a half-smile on her face: “Prince, such behaviour is hardly gentlemanly.”

Although he had long heard that this princess was spoiled since childhood, with an arrogant and haughty personality.

Yugris still hadn’t anticipated that Stelly would actually leave just because of such a small matter.

He forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart and put on a slightly apologetic smile: “My apologies, I was too hasty.”

“I believe you must have some misunderstanding about me. The Dreamy Sea the day after tomorrow, correct? I will certainly take you to witness the beautiful scenery there with your own eyes.”

His red pupils reflected the brilliant light of the grand banquet, seemingly brimming with deep affection.

“What I mean is…” A perfectly measured hint of shyness emerged on the young man’s face as he gazed intently at You Ting.

Yugris said: “No matter how important the matter, it cannot compare to you.”

You Ting: “…”

For some reason, her fists were clenching.

She deliberately turned her head away in a show of arrogance, concealing the disgust and discomfort in her eyes.

Then she waved her hand at Claude, “If that’s the case, then let’s wait until we’ve seen that wondrous sight the day after tomorrow.”

Having said that, she didn’t linger long in the banquet hall, and directly left with Claude and a few palace maids.

Once You Ting’s figure disappeared, the people nearby dared to approach and ask cautiously: “Your Highness, your clothes…?”

Yugris lowered his gaze, half of his face cloaked in shadow, and a hint of gloom emerged on his handsome features.

When he looked up again, he had reverted to the sunny and gentle Prince: “It’s fine, I’ll just go change.”

The attendant hesitated again: “His Majesty has requested to see you.”

Yugris looked up. On the throne, King Bili was frequently glancing his way.

He likely saw You Ting leading her people away and felt uneasy.

The look cast his way was even tinged with disapproval.

Yugris silently clenched his fist, then slowly released it. “I know, I’ll go over now.”

Ignoring the need to change his clothes, since his father had summoned him, he could only walk over first to deal with the situation.

The weather was hot, and the fabric of his clothes was light and thin.

Wet and clinging to his skin, it caused an annoying stickiness.

And because the colour of his clothes was very pale, the red wine stain was even more noticeable.

Every time he passed by someone, Yugris could feel their unusual gaze upon him.

The smile on his lips gradually stiffened, as if meticulously carved onto a puppet’s face by a puppet master.

By the time he reached King Bili, the suppressed irritation in Yugris’s heart had reached its peak.

And all of this was caused by that woman, Stelly!

He took a deep breath and performed a standard bow to the King: “Father, did you wish to see me?”

King Bili’s feelings about this son were complex.

Both proud and apprehensive.

He hoped he would be strong enough, yet he hoped he wouldn’t become strong too quickly.

“I saw Princess Montchel leave,” King Bili’s gaze fell on the stain on Yugris’s clothes, and his vision sharpened instantly. “What happened?”

Yugris maintained his bowed posture, his head lowered, concealing his expression.

He answered frankly: “Nothing much, the Princess just felt there was nothing fun and went out for some air.”

King Bili still looked somewhat suspicious, but ultimately said nothing more.

He only said: “You should know how much help the Montchel Kingdom can bring us. So, I shouldn’t need to remind you again how important Stelly is, should I?”

Yugris bowed even lower: “I know.”

The King finally nodded in satisfaction, “Since the Princess has gone out, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and follow her out.”

A hint of sarcasm quickly flashed across Yugris’s face before settling back into placidity.

When he stood up, only a humble smile remained on his face: “I’ll go right now.”

He lifted his foot and left. After leaving the banquet hall, his eyes rapidly darkened.

A attendant stepped forward to ask: “Your Highness, should we go look for Princess Stelly?”

Yugris clicked his tongue lightly, “What for?”

He looked down at the semi-dry red wine stain on his clothes, frowned tightly in irritation, and said almost through gritted teeth: “Go back and change clothes.”

…

…

“Your Highness.”

On the other side, Claude was still softly muttering: “Are we really not going back?”

You Ting turned her head to look at him and smiled: “What’s wrong, you really don’t like the Bili Kingdom?”

Claude shook his head like a rattle: “No, I don’t like it! Nowhere here can compare to our Montchel Kingdom!”

He puffed out his chest proudly, then thought for a moment and added: “I don’t like the people here either.”

Especially that Prince Yugris.

The Princess asked him to take her sightseeing, and he still tried to evade it for such a minor matter!

You Ting twirled a lock of hair with her finger and smiled slightly: “I don’t like it either.”

Claude asked unhappily: “Then do we still have to stay until the day after tomorrow?”

You Ting didn’t raise her head, answering nonchalantly: “It is a grand spectacle after all, there’s no harm in seeing it.”

After all… she still hadn’t seen the female protagonist.

What does the rumoured mermaid look like?

Moreover, You Ting was also curious about how the now-frazzled Yugris would handle the situation between her and the little mermaid.

Same time, same place. If he accompanies her, he can’t see the little mermaid; if he goes to see the little mermaid, he will lose the aid of the Montchel Kingdom.

For a greedy person like Yugris, who wants to have his cake and eat it too, losing either side is unacceptable.

You Ting turned her head and said cheerfully to Claude: “The show is just about to begin, it would be a pity to leave now.”

Her magnificent skirt billowed and spread with her steps. She walked under the moonlight, a faint smile gracing her lips.

It vaguely reminded people of the goddess in ancient myths.

Claude didn’t dare to look too much, and quickly lowered his head, silently grumbling in his heart.

With such a beautiful young lady as their Highness, that Prince must have had his brains addled to repeatedly neglect her!

Two days passed in a flash.

The sky gradually darkened, the clouds slowly turning black.

When the moon revealed its faint figure, Yugris appeared with grace, knocking on You Ting’s door.

Though his character was poor, he had a good face, and dressed up, he looked perfectly presentable.

“Princess Stelly, I’m here to fetch you.”

The Dreamy Sea got its name because every few decades, tens of thousands of fish shoals gather and surge together, creating a spectacular sight that resembles a dance under the moonlight, dream-like and illusory.

The palace was not far from the Dreamy Sea. By the time they arrived, Yugris had already prepared a sightseeing yacht.

You Ting glanced at him.

The young man’s face still held an impeccable smile, and when he met her gaze, he even appeared somewhat shy and nervous—

The spitting image of a young man falling in love.

This disgusted You Ting, and she quickly averted her gaze to the vast, deep sea.

The sea breeze was cool, and the moonlight fell unobstructed onto the sea surface, as if plating it with a layer of silver.

She was just wondering how Yugris would try to break this stalemate tonight when she suddenly heard someone exclaim—

“Oh no!”

“Prince Yugris has fallen into the water!”
