Chapter 220: 219 ‘Can you understand?

“How could you be together with that kind of person?”

After leaving the Royal Palace, Luoqi returned to her usual self and hurled this sentence at Shane.

Shane’s eyebrows raised.

“That kind of person?” Shane asked, quite surprised, “Do you really dislike him that much?”

Luoqi did not deny it but did not confirm it either.

The reason was simple.

“It’s not about disliking him, but he’s definitely the type I would prefer to keep at a distance.”

Luoqi made such a remark.

“Why?”

Shane truly felt puzzled.

Logically speaking, Lymco shouldn’t have shown himself in a bad light in front of Luoqi, so how could he have received such an evaluation?

The reason, in fact, was just as simple.

“Even though I don’t know what that person is thinking, his remarks seem on the surface to be for my sake. However, I didn’t feel any concern for me, just an overpowering personality that assumes too much,” Luoqi assessed without mincing words.

“This kind of person either has a facade that’s different from what’s inside, or doesn’t consider the feelings of others at all, only treating their own ideas as the truth. It is the very essence of a noble’s upbringing.”

Perhaps it was because Luoqi had seen through this that she had been so unkind to Lymco later?

Otherwise, with Luoqi’s status, she wouldn’t go so far as to oppress a Guard Knight with her words.

“You are quite perceptive.”

Shane couldn’t help but laugh.

“Because most of the nobles who surround me are of this type. They care not for me as a person but for my identity, status, capabilities, and looks. They seem very respectful on the surface, when in their hearts, they each wish they could treat me as their personal property, to satisfy their own ambitions or desires. Nothing in what they say or do is actually related to my personal feelings.”

Luoqi seemed to recall something unpleasant, her tone laced with barbs as if mocking herself.

Shane also knew that Luoqi had seen through many such noble youths; hence she could grasp some of their true nature and see through part of Lymco’s real face.

That’s why Luoqi used the term “that kind of person” to describe Lymco.

Shane didn’t have any objections.

After all…

“I’ve really only met him a few times, and each time he approached me on his own initiative. The first time was when he claimed he wanted to apologize to my family and father, and after that, it was nothing more than awkward attempts at conversation, which really annoyed me.”

Shane broadly explained his interactions with Lymco.

“Apologies…” Luoqi sounded somewhat skeptical, “Is that really all?”

“I was suspicious at first as well,” Shane said, neither confirming nor denying, “But later, seeing his earnest tone and sincere attitude, I thought he was really different from his father.”

Unfortunately, this young master, who thought he was hiding well, ended up inadvertently revealing himself.

“When I mentioned you, there was a moment when he felt hostility towards me, which was captured by my ‘Enemy Detection’ Skill,” Shane mentioned with sarcasm, “He probably thought he was concealing it perfectly, even his animosity, right?”

In fact, if it hadn’t been for that brief moment when Lymco accidentally showed his hostility, Shane might have actually believed him.

This showed that the man was quite complicated.

But one wrong step leads to another; Lymco had completely exposed himself because of that momentary hostility.

He might still believe he was steadily building a relationship with Shane, not realizing he had already entered not only Shane’s blacklist but Luoqi’s as well.

“Previously, when I was leaving the Audience Hall, he seemed to display hostility towards me from within the Guard Knight Order. I had always wondered who it was, but now I finally have a match.”

Shane stroked his chin and glanced at Luoqi, “What do you think I should do?”

“What should you do?” Luoqi asked, puzzled, “Why are you asking me?”

“What do you think?” Shane replied, his smile not reaching his eyes, “You’re not going to tell me you can’t see that he approached me because of you, are you?”

Luoqi fell silent.

This meant that Luoqi indeed had noticed Lymco’s intentions.

“Do you want me to take action?”

Luoqi turned her head to look at Shane.

“There’s no need,” Shane said without looking back at Luoqi, “Let’s just see what this fellow intends to do first.”

Now is not the time to tidy up.

Afterward, I’ll take Little Aiyi with me to Sterling’s Domain. That’s when I’ll have a proper chance to trick those guys.

Luoqi nodded.

“If you need my help, just say the word.”

Luoqi made this offer.

“Forget it,” Shane waved his hand, annoyed, “If you help me, those young noble scions would be even more eager to pick a fight with me.”

Men are troublesome in that way. When they see the woman they like being nice to another man, not only do they not give up, but they also develop hatred.

Of course, women aren’t much different.

While Shane was reflecting on this, Luoqi fell completely silent.

After a while…

“…Do you really find it troublesome to be with me?”

At some point, such a murmured question reached Shane’s ears.

Shane came back to his senses and looked at Luoqi.

At this glance, Shane saw.

In Luoqi’s beautiful eyes that gazed back at him, there was a hint of unease and a touch of helplessness.

Shane’s heart clenched in an instant.

Luoqi did not do much else, nor did she say much else, just gazing at Shane with that same flicker of new unease and helplessness in her eyes.

Shane fell silent.

After a long time, Shane let out a sigh.

“To tell you the truth, it’s really troublesome.”

Shane expressed this sincerely.

His candidness seemed to make Luoqi involuntarily catch her breath.

But then, Shane’s tone shifted.

“But I think there are a lot of troublesome things.”

Shane said this.

“Many?”

Luoqi was momentarily puzzled.

“That’s right.”

Shane curled his lip slightly and spoke slowly.

“Dealing with people I can’t get along with is troublesome.”

“Dealing with nobles is troublesome.”

“The identity of a Hero is troublesome.”

“Even being reincarnated to this world is turning out to be quite troublesome because of some inexplicable undercurrents.”

“In the end, there’s a whole bunch of troublesome things. If I could, I’d really like to avoid them all altogether. Dealing with these things is worse than continuing to memorize magic spells.”

Shane looked straight at Luoqi.

“Your identity, your status, your abilities, and even your appearance are all troublesome to me. Do you understand?”

Do you understand?

Luoqi pondered this phrase for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

In other words…

“You find the same things troublesome as I do, don’t you?” Shane said in an irritated tone: “As for you personally, well, that remains to be seen. Let’s see how it goes in the future.”

Having said that, Shane left Luoqi behind and walked out of the Royal Palace.

Luoqi mulled over Shane’s words and, after a long moment, then cracked the most beautiful smile of her life.

Only then, as if her mood had lifted, did she follow Shane and hurried out after him.
