219 Ch. 219 Picnic (2/2)

The more this person tried to remove the inamorata mark on her neck forcefully, the more restless Niken became.

In the world of illusions, Xiao Yue had become more reserved and less cheerful than usual. Even when she was going out with the crown prince Yang Shuo, Xiao Yue only answered modestly and had no intention of opening up any new subject for conversation.

Xiao Yue seemed to be daydreaming more, and sometimes, the people around her would feel, the young princess they saw was not their usual beloved princess.

One day, Xiao Yang decided to take his younger sister on a picnic by the lake. After telling the servants to prepare picnic utensils and food supplies, Xiao Yang walked towards his sister's chamber.

”Yue'er, you don't have any ethics lesson schedule from a royal mentor. Shall we go on a picnic?”

”Now?”

”Isn't today the perfect day for a picnic?”

”Okay.” Without thinking twice, Xiao Yue accepted her brother's invitation and together set off for their destination.

As Xiao Yang said, today was an unexceptional bright day. The wind was not too strong, and many birds chirped to greet them.

”People who hurt my sister will always be my enemy.”

Xiao Yue laughed cheerfully at her brother's absurd confession. If Xiao Yang claimed anyone as his enemy because of hurting his sister, what about an older brother who always upsets her?

It would be funny if the King of Nishian claimed himself as his enemy. Xiao Yue giggled, thinking this.

”Yue'er, I have something to discuss with you today.” suddenly, her brother's voice became more serious than usual.

”Okay. I'm listening.”

”To be honest, the king from the floating island has come to ask your hand to marry the crown prince. I have not accepted nor rejected it. I want to hear your opinion first. What do you think about Yang Shuo? Do you like him?”
