“Helping you?” he gave her a twisted smile. “I’m not helping you.”
“Then?”
“I don’t believe that your father is dead. I am going to find him.”
“And fight him,” she stated.
He grinned and took a bite of his apple. “Think whatever you want to think.”
“Is that it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Is that the only thing that you wanted to tell me because… that’s not much.”
“You — ” Mo Li’s face reddened.
In response, she let out a low chuckle and jumped down from the tree. Mo Li was grumpy and for some reason, she liked to tease him.
Was it because… of his name?
Well, he, too, had white hair.
And that was enough to remind her of the previous Mo Li.
“Hey!” she was surprised to see him follow her towards her room. After a few days, she finally realized that she was the only one living in this castle-like building. And since she was alone, assassins have a really excellent opportunity to take care of her.
“Why are you following me?” she asked.
“Just curious. How did you hide their bodies?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I know you killed them.”
“If you are talking about the bears, I didn’t hide their bodies. I ate them.”
“You eat… them?”
She stopped walking and smiled. He looked like he had swallowed a lemon rind. She leaned forward. “You don’t eat bears?”
“I know you didn’t just kill bears in that forest.”
She started walking again.
“Hey! Answer me! How did you get rid of their bodies?”
“I told you. I ate bears. You know… I eat mostly anything in this world. That… includes… people who annoy me.”
When she noticed he stopped walking, she turned around and lifted an eyebrow.
He was… blushing. He looked like a tomato.
Then, without saying anything, he turned around and ran away.
“Hey! Don’t worry, I won’t eat you!” She couldn’t help but laugh.
What a weird guy.
“You can come out now,” Anna said after Mo Li disappeared.
“How did you know I was here?”
“I can smell you.” She looked at the first prince and wanted to tell him she could smell his stench, but had to control herself. Nope. That won’t be any good.
Plus, she already did something to this person.
“Ah, of course. Few people would recognize my smell, but you are not just most people, right?”
Actually, the reason she knew he was here is that of the system. Not because of his smell.
For some reason, this man smelled like nothing. Did he use some special way to hide his scent?
As a royal, someone who had access to some elementals, this man could actually do that.
Plus, his mother loved him a lot, right?
She immediately tried to access the original Anna’s future. However, it wasn’t really that detailed, so she had no way of knowing If Anna’s mother-in-law bullied her.
“How come you are here, your highness?”
“Please call me Hellio.”
“I apologize, but I can’t do that. We are not that close.”
A sigh left his lips. “I’m so sorry about what they did.”
“Hm?”
“Please understand. These people were so concerned about their children.”
“Right…”
“You don’t look angry?”
“Why would I be angry?” she retorted. This man was here to ‘comfort’ her. And she was clearly not giving him a chance to do that. What would he do next?
“I — I just thought that those people said something unimaginable to you. I don’t want that. After all, you are still grieving.”
“Oh.” Out of all the people here, the only one who mentioned that she was still grieving is this man.
“Do you want to go to the forest?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Those people must have forbid you to visit the forest again. But… I know a cabin near the northern part of the forest. If you want to train or hunt, you can stay there.”
‘Oh?’ A cabin? Interesting.
As if sensing her thoughts, the man added, “There are a lot of different cabins around that forest. Sometimes, they use it for meals, sleep, or just camping.”
“Oh.”
“So if you want to visit the forest, I can accompany you.”
“Company? Your highness, that is not a good idea.”
“What?”
It looked like he expected she would immediately accept his proposal. Why though? And why would he assume they forbid her from visiting the forest? Was it because he knew about it in advance?
“Your highness, those people already thought I killed three seniors. They won’t want someone like me going around with a prince.”
“You won’t harm me.”
Smooth. But not enough.
“How did you know that?”
“Pardon?” he asked, surprised.
“How did you know I won’t hurt you? What makes you so sure of that… your highness?”
He offered an awkward laugh. “I — I just… trust you.” His ears turn red as he diverted his gaze away.
“Your highness, I hope you don’t mind, but you look really suspicious right now.”
“Pardon me?”
“We are not friends, your highness. How could you say that you trust me?” Maybe those words would have melted a part of the Original Anna’s heart.
But she… was not THAT Anna.
“That— “
She stopped walking and waited for the man to finish his words.
“I really don’t want to offend you, but if I may ask, do you need something from me, your highness?”
“What?”
“I mean… you are suspiciously good to me. Anyone would ask the same thing. After all, we are not really friends. We just met once.”
The man was lost for words.
He didn’t expect her to actually suspect his motives. Perhaps he was so used to being called kind and caring that he thought everyone would be easily swayed by this gestures.
Well… just as he said…
Anna wasn’t just most people.
“Ah… look at that.” Anna smiled and look at the old building where she was staying. “I have arrived. Thank you for the company, your highness. I apologize, I won’t be able to offer some tea, you see… I have none of those.”
Seeing his dumbstruck appearance, she fought the urge to laugh out loud as she waved her hand and run towards her room.
