Chapter 76 – Ambiguous Emotions (1/2)

Since it has already reached this stage, Rosie couldn’t care anymore, she only promised to help Lin Xiao protect the “double chant” secret, she never promised to do anything else.

Furthermore, she was complimenting him, and establishing Lin Xiao in a good light in the princess’s mind. If Lin Xiao knew, not only will he not blame her, he should thank her!

If… if by any chance Shen DaiYing falls in love with Lin Xiao because of this, and they get married, she still has to ask Lin Xiao for a matchmaking fee!

“Princess, actually Caesar only got the S level evaluation in name! He’s just a hoodlum, and doesn’t have much ability! The one who should have got the S level evaluation was Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao is the real hero!”

Rosie revealed everything in a single breath.

“Is what you’re saying true?” Shen DaiYing asked.

“100%” Rosie responded with clenched teeth.

It all depends on this! Princess, believe it!

“Oh, so it’s like that. No wonder that day in the practice range…” Finally, Shen DaiYing was no longer skeptical, nodded her head and muttered something.

“No wonder… what?” Rosie couldn’t hear what she said after that.

What was going on? Shen DaiYing actually believed her?

Even Rosie felt that her lies were ridiculous, but she didn’t expect her to actually believe it, it turns out the princess was a gullible airhead!

Rosie was delighted. Now, Shen DaiYing’s impression for Lin Xiao must be bursting and her impression of Caesar should be plummeting, her plan succeeded!

Yet, when she was immersing in the delight of her her plan succeeding, she was suddenly stunned.

She noticed two beautiful swords hanging from Shen DaiYing’s waist. The scabbards were pitch-black with beautiful flowers engraved on them. One was a long tachi and the other was short like a dagger, it was perfectly covered by the jacket and only an unremarkable scabbard was visible.

Strange, Shen DaiYing was transferring into the magic department, why did she bring swords?

“Princess… t-the swords on your waist are so beautiful!” Rosie put on a fake smile and said.

“Are they?” After a while, Shen DaiYing gently ran her hand over the flower engravings on the scabbards staring with the long sword, and finally resting her hand on the short one.

“This long one is called ‘Snow’, it’s my favorite. The short one is called ‘Soul Slayer’, it…” as she was speaking, Shen DaiYing was still slightly smiling, but a tinge of sadness flashed by in her eyes.

Being observant was one of Rosie’s greatest strengths, although she often does unreliable things, but when talking about observing other people, being from a merchant family definitely meant she had some skill.

She caught that momentary sadness.

Why? Why was Shen DaiYing so happy when she mentioned “Snow”, yet so sad when she mentioned “Soul Slayer”?

Don’t tell me that the princess was thinking about the souls that died by that sword?

Could it be that she has killed before?

Rosie shivered.

How could that be possible? This charming princess actually killed some one? No way, right?

“That… princess, l-let’s hurry to class!” Seeing the situation change for the worse, Rosie hurriedly changed the topic.

“Un, let’s go.”

“Lin Xiao’s at class, I’ll bring you to meet him!”

“That’s great, thank you little sis Rosie.”

Shen DaiYing put away the melancholy in her eyes, and that charming smile once appeared on her face, and she continued her act as the graceful princess.
