Chapter 123: Extra
"How does my hairstyle look? Is this outfit acceptable? Do you think I should come across as gentle or more dignified later..." The handsome Prince Consort stared with a rigid face, his dark eyes secretly peering through the window at the scene inside. He looked just like a student waiting to be called to the principal's office—utterly nervous.
"Your Highness is so handsome and handsome, how could there possibly be anyone in this world who doesn't adore you? Just be yourself as usual, and he'll surely be won over by your nobility." While expertly dispensing flattery, Zhang Du's heart was crying inside.
If one truly acted as one usually did, the Prince Consort did indeed possess considerable charm. But the problem was—he was currently not normal at all!
Zhang Du's inner worries were confirmed the very next second.
The boys and girls who had suddenly arrived in this unfamiliar area followed Chang Liang, constantly exploring toward the exit. But just as they were about to reach the main gate, a group of winged vampires appeared before them. These students, defenseless against such enemies, were naturally no match for the vampires. Just as despair filled their hearts and they prepared to be locked back into that cramped, dark room, a handsome and handsome figure descended from the sky.
He, was dashing and elegant.
He, possessed overwhelming strength.
With just a casual flick of his hand, those evil vampires tumbled to the ground.
Clad in magnificent robes, resembling nobility itself, the Prince Consort gazed elegantly upon these helpless students, his tone carrying an untouchable coldness. "I am Prince Augustus."
What a noble, handsome, and mysterious figure had been crafted! Not only had he performed a hero's rescue, but he had also subtly revealed his prestigious identity.
But in reality!
Watching those vampires—specifically selected as the ugliest in the entire vampire realm—fall to the ground unceremoniously and in perfect unison, watching the flashy lights suddenly turn on, watching how their noble Prince Consort walked past the scattered fake corpses with a stiff face while thinking no one would notice, proceeding directly toward a certain young man before stopping to pose...
Zhang Du lowered his head to look at the position where the Prince had initially landed, then looked at where the Prince had purposefully walked to that other end. He wasn't quite sure whether he should also twist and turn his way around the fake corpses.
After our great Prince Consort delivered his scripted lines while believing himself to be impossibly handsome, he waited in place, anticipating the boy's adoring gaze.
However, the Prince who had been posing until his body ached did not receive the gaze he'd been hoping for.
After a short while, the Prince couldn't help but secretly lower his head.
His little wife wasn't looking at him...
With a cold, noble lift of his chin, the Prince Consort blinked hard and rapidly, then secretly lowered his head again.
Still not looking at him...
The Prince Consort stared blankly down at his little wife, until the boy's fearful expression grew more obvious, at which point he retracted his gaze with a wronged look. The vampires playing dead on the ground instantly shuddered, secretly shifting their bodies, trying to escape this place of trouble.
Where was the adoring gaze that was promised? The love at first sight? The "I'll repay your救命之恩 with my body" scenario?
Not daring to frighten his little wife any further, the Prince shot a sharp, cold glare at a certain person lost in contemplation.
"...I sincerely apologize for putting all of you through this. The Prince Consort and I would like to invite you all to our residence as guests." Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Zhang Du's mind became exceptionally sharp, and he promptly extended the invitation to everyone.
Repressing his委屈 while still posing, the Prince Consort nodded elegantly. A hint of疑惑 flickered in Chang Liang's eyes, but based on certain considerations, he accepted Zhang Du's invitation on behalf of everyone. And so, although the Prince Consort had failed to win over his little wife, he had at least managed to keep the boy around.
"You mean to say, someone rebelled, you've been stripped of your prince title, you're currently being hunted and completely broke?" Qi An glanced at the handsome prince, then looked down at the undoubtedly priceless diamond ring on the latter's finger.
"Mm." The supposedly broke prince nodded emphatically while watching the young man's expression intently.
It must be because his current status was too high, so the boy felt unworthy and didn't dare express his admiration for him. His little wife must be holding back, controlling himself from confessing his intense love.
In order to give his little wife the courage to express his feelings for him, he could only offer his little wife a convenient excuse. Sigh, he truly was a considerate and thoughtful husband.
"Oh."
And then, the Prince Consort watched as his little wife gave him one glance with those damp, watery eyes before lowering his head.
Just a simple... "Oh"?
