Chapter 125: Extra
The guards stationed around the door quietly observed everything unfold. As people who had lived in this castle for many years, they understood at a glance that the young man residing in those quarters would someday be the master of this castle. And whether their master's path to winning his bride would go smoothly directly determined whether they could have an easier time during this period.
Then, they witnessed their His Highness the Prince—whom they had always treated with the utmost deference—being locked out by his little wife.
*Bang!*
Before His Highness could continue executing his script, the little wife coldly pried open the prince's long, elegant hands, expressionlessly shut the door, and that was that. The door happened to be just a tiny bit taller than the prince. His Highness lowered his gaze to his empty hands in silence, then looked at the simple door before him.
He—His Highness the Vampire Prince—everyone who saw him gave him at least some respect. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation!
"You little demon, what trick are you trying to pull? Open this door right now, or else I'll make you... make you..." His Highness the Prince fell silent for a moment before finally producing the follow-up words: "Unable to get out of bed!"
His Highness the Prince straightened his clothes and adjusted his hair, preparing to face his frightened little wife with an elegant, handsome image.
As a considerate husband, once the little wife opened the door, he would pull her into his embrace and give her a loving kiss.
This way...
The watching servants noticed once again that their recently very abnormal master had inexplicably挂着 a sweet smile on his lips, and... it lasted for quite a while. Since His Highness the Prince was present, all the servants kept their hearts in their throats. Whatever they did, they did with extra care. Just as they were waiting for His Highness to leave, they discovered that His Highness the Prince had been standing like a wooden post beside the little wife's door all along.
From nightfall until dawn.
The handsome prince stood there all alone, not only without his sweet smile, but looking completely wilted.
His Highness the Prince stared at the closed door in silence for a moment, feeling that he had sweet troubles.
*Aiya*, even though he had delivered such a serious punishment, the little wife still refused to yield to Augustus II's tyranny. What did that prove! The little wife must deeply love Augustus! Because of this profound love, such a delicate person dared to resist the forces of darkness. The little wife must be worrying about Augustus right now, probably not having slept well the entire night.
It was all because of him that the little wife had fallen into such conflict, but... but he still couldn't tell her the truth for now.
As a good husband, he absolutely had to do something.
Qi An had slept soundly through the night. Just as he finished washing up and prepared to go out, he opened the door and found a certain tall figure standing stiffly beside the entrance.
After a moment of silence, Qi An tentatively asked, "Augustus... the Second?"
"No, I am Augustus." The man gazed at him deeply, his voice carrying a hint of melancholy.
Blinking, after confirming that the man had indeed changed into different clothes, Qi An calmly nodded, "Oh."
"My dear, wait for me!" There seemed to be tenderness and pain in the man's eyes. "I will most certainly make a triumphant return, and I absolutely will not let that despicable, shameless scoundrel Augustus II harm you! But please, you must remember one thing!"
Glancing composedly at those servants trying their best to lower their presence, Qi An—who had难得 slept so well—just heard the man speak in a mournful tone: "Do take good care of yourself, and absolutely do not lose sleep over me! If you did, it would break my heart. Please, please don't let yourself have a hard time because of me!"
Actually having slept quite well, Qi An gave the inexplicably troubled man a look, then silently closed the door once more.
"!"
