The princess slayed the dragon and made a triumphant return. The palace held a congratulatory banquet for three consecutive days with great singing and music.
Legends of heroes were often accompanied by rumors and scandal, and this time was no exception. The celebration was not over yet, but a rumor had spread among the maids in the palace——
It was said that the princess went to Dragon City and not only slayed the evil dragon, destroyed its territory, but also brought back a beautiful man from there who was so beautiful that he was almost demonic.
Moreover, to avoid suspicion, the beauty moved into the palace next to Her Royal Highness’s bedroom. The two of them met secretly in the palace every day without even leaving the palace door.
“I happened to pass by the princess’s palace that day and saw him with my own eyes. He is a great beauty!”
“How beautiful?”
“I heard that he is the male version of Her Majesty the Queen. He is no less beautiful, so they say he is not from the human race.”
“Is he really not from the human race?”
“That’s probably not the case. I went to the princess’s palace to deliver something before, and I walked past that person. Although he is indeed very beautiful, the smell is very clean, and there is no disgusting smell like from those monsters.”
“He’s not a demon clan, so how come he was brought here on her way to conquer the evil dragon?”
“Wow, is this the trophy Her Highness brought from the evil dragon territory?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve heard of this, and it’s also said that Her Highness saved him on the road.”
“…”
Rumors like this spread quickly in the palace. The queen, who was always good-tempered, became cold-faced when she heard about it and severely punished the palace officials who spread the rumors.
This rumor also spread to the princess’s bedroom.
When Gu Nian heard about it, she was having a “secret meeting” with the rumored beauty: playing chess.
The little maid in her bedroom hesitated and said something, looking at the beauty with long hair in white robe, and it took a long time before she finally finished.
The personal maid was angry when she heard this. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to teach those gossiping palace servants a lesson, but she was stopped by Gu Nian.
“Don’t worry about them.”
After returning from Dragon City, Her Royal Highness became even lazier than before. In the past, she often went to the back garden to bask in the sun, but now that the boy who she was waiting to repay her kindness was gone, she didn’t even bother to go to the back garden.
Gu Nian moved the chess pieces and after speaking, she lowered her hands and nestled into the rocking chair.
The personal maid ran over and said, “Your Highness, don’t you care about them?”
“Um.”
“Your Excellency Xiu is the captain of the princess’s bodyguard appointed by His Majesty the King, but they are spreading such excessive rumors – they have even slandered Your Highness’s innocence, Your Excellency Xiu should also not be able to tolerate them, right?”
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Gu Nian peeled off the orange at hand and asked casually, “Xiu, do you mind?”
The maid looked across eagerly.
The beauty with long hair and white robe rolled up his sleeves and said gently without raising his eyes as he settled down: “It is an honor that I can be involved in rumors with His Highness.”
The maid:”…………?”
Gu Nian was startled for a moment, and then laughed: “I think since you returned to the palace, you have started imitating them in your speech, and you are becoming more and more able to say nice things.”
Xiu dropped the chess piece and raised his eyes, looking gentle and serious: “It’s just that I didn’t know how to express myself before.”
Gu Nian joked: “So you are telling the truth?”
“Yes.”
Gu Nian laughed it off, not knowing whether she believed it or not.
The maid looked on helplessly: “Your Highness, even if you don’t want to care about it, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely not let it go easily.”
Gu Nian nodded attentively: “Then let her worry about it. Anyway, I don’t need to work hard.”
“Your Highness, if Her Majesty the Queen wants to argue, you will have nothing to do with it.”
“?”
Gu Nian put down the oranges in her hand and looked up blankly and innocently: “What do the rumors they spread have to do with me?”
“Her Majesty the Queen should ask Your Highness…” The maid glanced at the long-haired beauty with downcast eyes across from her with scruples, “Let you and Your Majesty the Chief of Guard avoid any suspicion.”
Gu Nian waved her hand and looked back: “No, they didn’t care about me in the past.”
“Your Highness, this time is different.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Your Highness, haven’t you heard?”
“What haven’t I heard?”
“…”
Seeing the movement, Gu Nian turned around blankly.
The maid hesitated for a few seconds, then leaned forward and whispered: “The honor guard of the prince from a neighboring country came to propose marriage and has already arrived outside the royal city.”
“——”
Across the chess table, the long-haired beauty suddenly stilled.
After a moment, he raised his eyes lightly, his gentle smile was still there, but his eyes were as cold as a frozen lake.
