Chapter 277 – Self Intoxication (1/2)
When she saw the trouble she caused, Pelle nervously cupped her hands and apologized wracked with ‘guilt’.
Although her acting skills were clumsy, be it her tone or expression, both were very artificial, even Caesar could tell immediately that she was pretending to be shocked and it was all premeditated!
But unexpectedly, Caesar wasn’t angry at all, rather he raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s okay Pelle, it’s not a big deal.”
Caesar consoled Pelle who was pretending to cry and glanced at ShenDai Ying, after getting back a similar look, he let out a sigh to rejoice.
While he and ShenDai Ying were planning a way to reasonably skip the dance, Pelle delivered herself to them!
Caesar was always unsatisfied with how clingy his little sister was, she was even more annoying than Rosie and was spoiled rotten since young, but this time he was very thankful.
“Don’t worry Pelle, you did a great job.”
Caesar received the towel that the servants brought over in a haste and wiped the stain on his chest while gently patting Pelle’s head.
“I did… great?” Pelle mumbled in a daze, after getting praised by her brother, she really felt like she did something incredible. She turned and made a victory poise towards Rosie then happily held onto her brother’s arms, not letting go.
“Sorry everyone, I have to go change…”
Caesar seamlessly brushed her aside then slightly bowed apologized to everyone in the surrounding, while they made some witty remarks and saw Caesar and Pelle off.
“Princess Pelle, your brother is about to get married, you shouldn’t cling to him like that anymore!”
“That’s right, at that time when his wife sees you clinging to him everyday, that’s going to be serious! Hahaha!”
“Q-quiet, you fools!”
Pelle was clingy towards Caesar, but she wasn’t that gentle towards anyone else, she puffed out her round cheeks and angrily cursed at them, then quickly dragged Caesar away, not forgetting to stick her tongue out at ShenDai Ying.
The sudden unexpected event didn’t affect the dance that much, after Caesar left, ShenDai Ying also left the stage. She held a cup of sweet strawberry wine while enjoying the lively dances from a corner.
She actually didn’t drink much, she didn’t like the baijiu from the Great Qin Empire or the ShenDai household’s specialty rice wine. But after Caesar left, she was suddenly interested. The cool strawberry wine was refreshing, and the sweet and sour taste made it hard to stop drinking.
She originally just planned to take a sip, but for some reason she couldn’t stop.
Perhaps because it tasted good, or because she wanted to drown the depressive feeling she had, she downed a full cup in no time at all. A faint blush also floated to the surface of her cheeks and made her charming appearance even more tantalizing.
“Hehe, isn’t that what you wanted?” ShenDai Ying smiled in response, “You taught her that, didn’t you?”
“Eh? H-how did you know? … No, no, that wasn’t me.” In a panic, Rosie accidentally gave herself away.
“Don’t try to lie to me… Pelle may be obstinate and unruly, but she doesn’t have any bad intentions, unlike you. Rosie, you may look innocent, but you’re actually smarter than anyone.”
“Hm… are you complimenting or insulting me?” Rosie glared at ShenDai Ying, seeing that she was still smiling at her like that, she couldn’t help but soften up, “Well, you aren’t wrong. If I don’t smarten up, how am I going to fight over a man with you? Caesar has so many girls next to him, if I didn’t do anything, I would’ve already been driven away!”
“Hehe, Rosie, you don’t actually have to see me as a rival.”
“What? ShenDai Ying, you’re Caesar’s genuine fiancée, and in a half a year… eh? W-what are you doing!?”
While Rosie was complaining, she suddenly noticed ShenDai Ying swaying and falling towards her!
“Hey! D-don’t try to bully me! Although I’m not a noble, don’t even think of using your identity as a princess, I’m not scared of you!”
Rosie thought that ShenDai Ying was going to hit her, so she wanted to avoid her. But because of her clumsy moves, ShenDai Ying fell firmly against her shoulder.
Rosie was startled and squeezed her eyes shut, preparing to get hit, but the attack she was anticipating never came. When she sneaked a glance, she understood…
ShenDai Ying’s cheeks were flushed, eyes intoxicated, and her legs were weak and she had to lean against Rosie so that she didn’t fall down.
“Uh… ShenDai Ying, you’re not drunk, are you?” Rosie didn’t move and asked stiffly.
It was a good thing her sexual orientation was normal, looking at the defenseless ShenDai Ying leaning on her, she almost couldn’t resist sneaking a kiss and savoring this charming princess’s sweet taste.
