Chapter 354 - Envying Me, Are You Entitled To? (2/2)
Fukuda Ogawa didn’t deny it and said, “Yes.”
Xiao Bing lamented, “The jealousy of man is frightening. I understand it now, but what can you do if you beat me? Do you think Princess Nami treats me differently just because of my strength? Princess Nami is a petite and willful girl. She is not an ambitious person who only wants to make friends with valuable people. Princess Nami is not like that.”
Fukuda Ogawa frowned, and asked in confusion, “Then why?”
“This is very simple. Because I have offended Princess Nami and refused her. Do you think a woman would like to make friends with obedient puppets? Or will she regard a person who can give her suggestions as a friend?”
Fukuda Ogawa looked at Xiao Bing incredulously, and asked in disbelief, “She treats you as a friend? She is a princess and the first beauty!”
Xiao Bing smiled disdainfully. “Is a princess not a human being? Or is a beauty not a human being? People need to eat whether they are pretty or not. No matter who you are, if you can’t pee, you will die.”
It was a bit vulgar, but hearing this, Fukuda Ogawa didn’t know what to say.
Xiao Bing continued, “Because you all treat her like a princess, and she has a very high position in your heart, you are too humble in front of her. So you don’t even dare to give her some correct advice. Even if she is wrong, you don’t dare to come forward and refute her.”
Suddenly Xiao Bing stood up. He stared at Fukuda Ogawa with a sharp glint in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, “What did you do when Princess Nami treated the prisoners as monsters? Ah? What did you do when Princess Nami whipped the people like horses? Have you ever said anything? Don’t tell me you thought she was right to do that. You didn’t refute her because in your heart, Princess Nami is set up on high. Even if you thought there was something wrong, you dared not stop her. She is a royal princess, and you are just one of her samurai.”
Fukuda Ogawa looked a little flustered, “So… then what?”
Xiao Bing sneered and said sternly, “Since you have placed yourself so low and the princess so high up, why be jealous? You are just a subordinate, a pariah, and a slave. She is a noble princess. Why does she have to smile at you every day?”
“You!” Fukuda Ogawa was a little irritated, but when he took a step forward, he suddenly felt strong air rushing toward him. Xiao Bing grabbed his collar and threw him against the wall. Fukuda Ogawa sweated because he didn’t expect Xiao Bing to be so much stronger than him!
Xiao Bing’s eyes scared him. It looked as if he had killed many people. At the moment, he finally realized that Xiao Bing was more terrible than Nakamura Jiro!
Xiao Bing stared at him and said coldly, “She is nicer to me than to you and this is reasonable because you are not worthy of it! You are only a subordinate, a warrior, and you have never earned her respect! You are a pug who is begging for mercy. You can do nothing but flatter and fawn in front of her! In this case, why should she care how you feel every day?”
“Yes, she is a royal princess, but you have forgotten the dignity of a good samurai. You, like me, are selected as her guards, but as long as we can protect her, we are doing our duties. It doesn’t mean we have to be doormats! If she has done something wrong, we can tell her. Only a decent man can earn her respect. But did you do it?”
“So, you can’t blame the princess, and you shouldn’t blame me. Her Royal Highness doesn’t like you because you don’t respect yourself!”
Fukuda Ogawa’s eyes became bright as if he was inspired. “Then what should I do?”
Xiao Bing loosened his collar, turned and walked back to his seat. He sat down and said, “It’s very simple. You just do your job and are never jealous of me if you just want to be an obedient slave. If you want to win her respect, you should express your opinion when she does something wrong. Only a person who can give good advice can earn her respect, not a puppet. Okay, I’ve finished talking. As for you, it’s up to you whether you will listen or not.”
Xiao Bing stood up again and cursed, “Stupid, you have wasted a lot of my time, and I have to pee. I am going to go look for a toilet.”
Saying that, he walked out. Although it was daylight, he went out and made several turns in case someone would discover him. Xiao Bing talked to Fukuda Ogawa because he knew that Fukuda Ogawa would not find out his true strength. Moreover, he would leave sooner or later, but Princess Nami was so capricious, and the chief executive was old. If he retired, no one could restrain her. No one knows if she would become unbridled and do bad things again.
Although Fukuda Ogawa could not restrain Princess Nami, as long as he could put forward some different opinions, it would be okay. He was afraid that there was no one who dared to raise different opinions to her. It would be terrible when she didn’t know that she had done bad things.
Outside the small living room, Xiao Bing surmised that Princess Nami would stay with the Emperor for a long time if nothing happened since they just met. So he pretended to wander in the yard casually. The people here knew that Xiao Bing was with Princess Nami and he should be on their side since he could enter the palace, so few people would stop Xiao Bing. Occasionally when someone wanted to check Xiao Bing’s identity, Xiao Bing would show them his waistband, and they immediately went away.
Xiao Bing casually walked to the door of one of the palaces and then stopped. He turned around and looked at the palace gate above the steps because if he wanted to finish his task, he had to beat up the man inside.
The man was Iza Kawatani, the best samurai, who was called the God of Budo.
