Chapter 84: She Was Thinking, What About That Kiss?

That was his marriage contract with Ye Wangxue.

In the game, when choosing Ye Wangxue’s route, opening the inventory would reveal an item called [Suspicious Parchment]. But when the player clicked on the parchment, Ye Wangxue would tear it up, followed by a tirade against the marriage contract and a declaration of her determination to escape the marriage.

That’s why many players speculated this was the marriage contract.

Now that Ye Wangxue was in front of him, Hall was of course certain that this was the marriage contract.

What did she mean by taking out the marriage contract now? Combined with Ye Wangxue’s previous statement, could it be…

“Hall Faxtius, I, in the name of the Winter Plum Princess of Great Xia—Ye Wangxue, present you with the marriage contract.”

The Winter Plum Princess was Ye Wangxue’s title. She was born on the fifteenth of the twelfth lunar month, and had a plum blossom mark on her forehead.

And that rolled-up parchment was also spread out, revealing a layer of silk inside. The content was actually written on that shimmering, golden-jade-colored silk.

The language within was simple: just the surnames and names of Ye Wangxue and Hall, followed by the customary blessings for a Great Xia marriage.

Most conspicuous were a dragon seal and a phoenix seal stamped on both ends of the silk.

The powerful hidden magic was instantly sensed by Hall, whose magic control talent was slightly weaker than his swordsmanship and weapon skills, but still at [S-].

This was the Dragon and Phoenix Seal of Great Xia.

Only the unparalleled emperor of Great Xia could use it. In addition, it was rumored among players that the Dragon and Phoenix Seal was also a magical artifact. Unfortunately, in Ye Wangxue’s marriage contract, no one had ever figured out the Dragon and Phoenix Seal, and no one even knew it existed.

And the main perspective and activity range of the entire game was still mainly on the Western Continent, so there was very little information in this regard.

Hall was very silent as he looked at this marriage contract.

Ye Wangxue also looked at him, and did not urge him.

The two were silent, looking at each other for a long time, and then she put it back in her pouch.

“What, you still can’t bear to part with these little sisters of yours? They are indeed cute.”

Ye Wangxue’s tone made Hall look at her. Hall had also considered too many things, but Ye Wangxue’s emotions did not seem to fluctuate.

He had originally intended to refuse Ye Wangxue on the spot. As for agreeing—don’t even think about it.

“You bastard.”

Ye Wangxue took out the rolled-up marriage contract from her pouch again, so angry that she wanted to hit him on the head with it.

“How could a person do such a thing?”

But the marriage contract froze in mid-air when it was raised above Hall’s head.

But Ye Wangxue still hit Hall on the head with the rolled-up marriage contract lightly.

Because she remembered that when she was a child, she liked the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she would play by the lake in the palace wearing beautiful spun-yarn dresses. She liked embroidery and wearing beautiful new clothes.

Why did she learn the sword? Wasn’t it because of this guy!

You had nothing better to do than to pretend to be a profligate son!

Thinking of this, Ye Wangxue still felt that no matter what, the marriage contract couldn’t be like this.

But how should she put it? The replenishing mana part… actually made both of them a bit resistant.

“It should be left to men.” Then what was the point of her learning for all these years?

Hall’s physical level, she…

But Ye Wangxue was not satisfied, and she smashed again. Hall dodged.

She continued to smash, and Hall continued to dodge.

Ye Wangxue was in a fit of anger, and it was too easy for Hall to dodge her attacks.

So she smashed for a long time, and didn’t really hit Hall a second time.

When she was tired, she sat back down on the chair.

Her cheeks were still puffed up with anger.

She was so annoyed.

Why was it always Hall?

This man in front of her, her fiancé, could always stir up her emotions.

It shouldn’t be like this…

It was good that there was no feeling on her head.

But the second time, she was… by Hall.

There was no logic. Anyway, she just wanted to smash him.

Her fiancé could always stir up her emotions.

It shouldn’t, it shouldn’t be like this…

So annoying. She wanted him to disappear from her sight.

But they had already kissed.

And, she had vowed to make him fall in love with her.

Thinking of this, Ye Wangxue suddenly felt her cheeks burn.

She remembered that kiss again.

She kind of wanted to ask Hall how he felt at that time.

But in the end, she didn’t say it.

“Lady Christine, are you feeling better?”

“I’ve been fine all along, Maria. All of this is just a trial to become a saintess. Those with weak wills cannot be God’s spokesperson.”

“But, how can that be considered a trial? The heretics that God wants to expel from the world with a sharp sword are casting such a trial upon you. It’s unfair.”

At this moment, Himan’s family doctor had just finished diagnosing Christine and prescribing medicine.

Maria could tell that the other party was very attentive and had recognized Christine.

But it seemed that the other party was well aware of the rules among the nobility. Under Himan’s simple blessing, he repeatedly nodded and told Christine not to worry about her injuries being exposed.

The other party was also a believer. For believers, to be able to diagnose a saintess candidate was a major event in their lives.

And Himan stood at the door. She actually kind of wanted to go find Hall.

But out of noble pride, she also had to ensure that Christine’s injuries could recover normally. If she went back to the cathedral, the time would be too late, and everything she had done now would be in vain.

As for the reason, Himan had also thought it through. After the tea party today, she still had more to say, so she had invited Christine to her residence for a chat.

“Miss Himan, at the tea party, there was one thing you haven’t answered me yet. Now that it’s just you and me here, is it convenient to say what you were hesitant about at that time?”

Christine sat on the bed. The pure white sheets and she were enveloped in the orange-red afterglow of the setting sun. An occasional gust of wind blew in from the window, lifting her brilliant golden hair.

She seemed so holy that it made one marvel.

And Maria, hearing this, also tactfully left the room and retreated far away to the corridor outside.

Himan, on the other hand, hesitated for a long time before asking hesitantly.

“What is it?”

“About Lord Hall.”

Christine said calmly.

Himan’s expression changed a little. She had vaguely guessed what Christine wanted to ask.

But she was very annoyed. At the tea party, Christine had asked her what she thought of Hall.

But what could she think?

She didn’t know, and she didn’t want to evaluate Hall in front of Hall, so she had been dragging it out.

She didn’t expect that after a few hours, Christine still remembered this matter.

Could it be that Christine liked Hall?

Otherwise, why would she be so concerned about her opinion of Hall?

So Himan asked back.

“Then Miss Christine, what do you think? I’m very interested in what you think of my cousin.”

Christine, on the other hand, didn’t hesitate. “I am very interested in Baron Hall.”

She looked at Himan with a smile that was not a smile, her whole person still in that layer of sunset glow.

“But you are a saintess candidate, Miss Christine. Didn’t you already vow to dedicate your life to God when you chose to become a saintess candidate? As far as I know, you are also very serious about competing for the position of saintess. If you like Hall, this violates righteousness and will make many people unhappy.”

Himan paused, and then said, “And the consequences for a saintess who has feelings for a man, you know better than I do.”

She couldn’t understand.

She couldn’t understand why Christine would take such a big risk to pay attention to Hall.

Moreover, this risk was two-way. If Christine got into trouble, Hall wouldn’t be able to escape either.

“Miss Himan is really nervous. Are you nervous about my safety, or nervous about Hall’s safety?”

Christine skipped over Himan’s words and got straight to the point.

This sentence stunned Himan for a moment, and she shook her head after a while.

“I’m not nervous at all. I was just analyzing. There’s an old Eastern saying, ‘The onlooker sees more of the game.’ Now, regarding Hall and you, I am the onlooker. You can’t continue to pay attention to Hall like this.”

“Indeed, the onlooker sees more of the game. What Miss Himan said is not wrong. But are you nervous? I know better than anyone.”

Christine said lightly.

She just looked at Himan, and her light blue pupils seemed to be able to see into her soul.

“Actually, compared to me, you are more nervous about your cousin’s safety…”

“As a knight and the only daughter of the Von Braun family, I should treat everyone equally.”

“But as his cousin, you actually care more about your cousin.”

“Th-that’s natural. He’s the only son of the Faxtius family.”

Himan answered again. She had given two different answers in a short period of time.

She was so annoyed. Why was Christine so hung up on this topic?

“Oh, is that so?”

“Isn’t it?”

Facing Himan’s retort, Christine did not answer Himan again.

She just sat on the bed and looked out the window.

“It’s getting late. I have to go back to the cathedral with Maria first. If Miss Himan can keep today’s matter a secret, I would be very grateful. But, our concepts are different. I have always thought that people are free, and love is perhaps even more so.”

Himan was very speechless, thinking, what nonsense is Christine talking about?

But Christine ignored her confusion and just got off the bed, put on her white jade-colored sandals, and slowly left the room.

And when she walked into the corridor, Himan suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, I remember that Hall had chosen three cards earlier. Now, what was the result of the divination?”

“I’ll tell you in a while, Miss Himan. I haven’t looked yet.”

Christine said calmly.

Of course, this sentence was a lie.
