Chapter 152: Its Already Pretty Big, Alright?

Sigh

Sigh

Sigh

Within the room the princess was sighing over and over. It hadnt stopped since the start.

Shien sat in front of the princess, watching her sigh over and over. It got to the point where the tea in his hand had lost all flavor to him.

At this point, Shien and Lucy were sitting facing each other at a small white table, having tea.

Oh, and its not red tea either, but a sweet honey tea. The ultra sweet kind that, when Shien took a sip, it felt like his tongue was turning into sugar.

However, the princess was happily enjoying such a sweet tea. Its just that shes continuously sighing.

Shien had about enough, so he spoke up.

I say, princess, just how much longer do you want to keep sighing like that?

This actually wasnt even the first time that Shien had said that.

Only, every time she heard it, not only did Lucy not stop, she started sighing even more heavily.

Ive hid it for all these years. Not even Leili or my elder sister has seen it. For something so important to have been seen by a man that I only just met, really Sigh

Lucy had kept on saying stuff like that, and Shien was so tired of it that he kind of wanted to hit her.

Hmm, with as pretty as she is, if he actually did hit her, shell probably cry for quite some time, right?

Unfortunately, she wasnt actually one of those super weak and delicate princess types. If he actually did hit her, putting aside whether or not shed cry, the female knights outside would definitely charge right in.

Thus, Shien had no choice but to bare with it.

Since its so important, then dont go exposing it at all. Cant you just go back to the princess mode from before?

The currently Lucy really gave Shien a really useless impression. Its to the point that Shiens previous impression of the princess had completely shattered.

Whats even more terrifying is that even though she was acting so useless, when its her doing it, it actually had an amazing slothful beauty to it. Really, Shien had to admit it, someone beautiful really could get away with anything, because shed beautiful no matter what shes doing.

Lucy, who didnt know what Shien was thinking, was already showing an expression like shes giving up.

I just tried that, but didnt you say that I cant just muddle through? Lucy spoke like she had completely given up, In that case, I dont care anymore. Its super exhausting pretending to be a good girl all the time you know!

In response, Shien felt like, as an adult, he should give a very mature suggestion here.

In that case, shall I go out and help you announce it? Just tell those young noblemen outside that their goddess is actually a complete good for nothing? Shien did his best to show his goodwill.

Dont you dare! The ungrateful princess immediately pounded the table, trampling Shiens goodwill.

Since youve seen it already, Im giving up on this, but if you dare to spread the news of what had happened here, dont blame me for what Ill do to you.

Lucy threatened Shien with a super fierce expression.

Are you trying to kill me with moe here? Shien couldnt help but say, I have to say, you did choose a method thats very likely to actually work.

The damage caused by that method couldnt be defended against even with the Holy Swords protection, never mind Shiens resistance skills.

Whos trying to kill you with moe? Speaking of, just what kind of method is this moe killing anyways? Why havent I heard of it before? Lucy frown beautifully and looked at Shien suspiciously, Is this a killing style from another world?

Basically. Shien faintly spoke, Its a method only usable by pretty girls like you. Its not all that effective against members of the same gender, but its super effective against those of the opposite gender. Anti-male, basically. When a cute and young the girl that uses this ultimate skill, all lolicons No, all gentlemen will receive deadly damage, and in the end, theyll spray massive amounts of blood from their nose and die of blood loss. Its too bad that youre too big though.

Why do I fell like youre just playing around with me? Lucys frown deepened as she held onto her cup of honey tea and glared at Shien, Plus, dont call me big. Im only 17!

Those words made Shien unconsciously glance imperceptibly toward Lucys chest.

Then, Shien spoke up.

Youre already pretty big at 17, alright?

Thats the truth.

It really is the truth here.

At the very least, no other 17 year old could compare to this princess.

In a word, its the different between B and D, get it?

However, the princess didnt, so she started arguing with Shien.

Whats big about 17? I only reached adulthood two years ago!

But you are big though.

Im not big! Im very little!

No no no. You really are big. Believe me.

You

Facing Shiens rather meaningful seeming words, Lucy was pissed off.

However, seeing how Shien was grinning the whole time, Lucy was a bit confused.

Dont you feel its strange? Lucy looked straight at Shien, Arent you curious as to why I suddenly turned so different from how I was before?

If it was anyone else that saw how Lucy currently was, theyd definitely have already started asking, right?

Yet, other than an initial bout of befuddlement and looking at Lucy with scornful eyes like she lied to him, Shien didnt bother saying anything more about it.

This made Lucy, who was already ready to confess the whole thing, super disappointed.

Unknowing of the fact that

Its because ever since you were little, you grew up under everyones expectations and hopes. You were viewed as the pillar of the Kingdom and worshiped as the modern Hero, so, in order not to disappoint others and to not bring sorrow to those who looked up to you, the great princess hide her true personality and forced herself to live, bearing the expectations of others. The normal princess mode exists for that sake, and your current self is your true self. Am I about right?

Shien spoke without a pause and spewed out the most important secret in Lucys heart in a single breath.

You, you, you, you! Lucy pointed at Shien with a shocked expression, How did you know that!?

Hehe. Shiens smile didnt reach his eyes, How do I know? Because this kind of character setting is just way too cliched!

Why else did Shien look down at Lucy with such a scornful look when he finally recovered from his shock?

It wasnt that he looked down at Lucy as a person, but that he looked down at the character setting.

Thus, Shien didnt particularly have any real objections to the huge differences between Lucys before and after. At most, he just wanted to grumble about it.

And here I respected you before. Give me back my feelings.

Shien stole the cup of honey tea from Lucys hands.

I never made you have feelings in the first place! Its you who put me on a pedestal here! Lucy immediately grabbed her honey tea back while complaining, Its because you guys kept going more and more overboard with your image of me that Im forced to turn into something like this. Yet now youre blaming me? Thats way too unreasonable!

Youre the unreasonable one here. What does that have anything to do with me? Im not even from this world!

Ahhh! Stop stealing my tea!

The two started quarreling before they knew it.
