Ch36 - [A united front] The little Princess’s fantasy world is quite vast and limitless.

No matter how she thought about it, Princess Shasha couldn’t figure out just when did the two men before her started gathering together?

In her impression, Nalun and Sirius didn’t have any personal friendship. In fact, whenever they met each other, the atmosphere between the two would be strangely tense.

The former spoke with hidden needles in his words. The latter remained emotionless, not batting an eye.

Just what kind of situation was going on right now then?

Not only were they sitting together, they were working together to bully others.

How could Sirius help Nalun!

Although she felt like she was targeted by ‘forces joint together against a common adversary’, she wouldn’t naively believe that the two finally made up. On the contrary, she felt like Nalun had taken the path of ‘false friendship’ and bewitched Sirius!

“Don’t tell me, a big man like you, plans to make things difficult for me in front of all of these people?” Princess Shasha was very unhappy.

Facing this abrupt accusation, Nalun glanced at Sirius with a complicated look–the source of all the problems, however, started looking at the scenery leisurely, as if he wasn’t part of this situation at all.

The veins on Nalun’s forehead jumped.

–Even while sitting in your own seat, calamity can fall from the sky.

Nalun asked the Princess directly: “You want to switch seats with me?”

Body stiffening, Sirius gloomily turned his head and stared right at Nalun.

Nalun: “……”

Hearing his words, Princess Shasha’s eyes lit up. But how could the extremely precious and respectable her, show delight openly on her face? Naturally she needed to use a cold huff of disdain to reply: “Of course. Otherwise, why would I waste my breath with you!”

Nalun felt like he needed to remain calm.

Nalun: “Then……”

“Nalun and I still have things to discuss.” Realizing that he was in a situation where he could be abandoned by his companion anytime, Sirius immediately spoke up and attracted the Princess’s attention.

She expressed bewilderment: “What’s there to talk about between you guys?”

Sirius: “There’s no need to report this to you, Princess.”

The Princess: “…… Why is it that you’d rather sit together with Charvey, than having a heart to heart chat with me?”

The festival celebration wasn’t the place for a heart to heart.

Sirius felt a big headache towards this willful Princess.

The Princess: “I want to switch seats with Nalun!”

Nalun gave her a glance and said coldly: “Alright. Then you can sit.”

After saying this, he immediately stood up.

The seat beside him empty, the Admiral’s heart also turned cold.

Sirius expressionlessly looked at Nalun from under his eyelashes.

Yet Nalun…… he actually managed to read a hidden resentment from Sirius’s eyes.

To the side, the middle-aged officer sighed silently: Even the Honored Prince of the Charvey family, who was well-known for his bad temper, wasn’t a match for the Princess huh……

Meanwhile, Princess Shasha already smugly squeezed aside Nalun and sat down next to Sirius.

Nalun opened his mouth and said: “Since Uncle Reggie is here, why don’t you be a witness for us.”

The middle-aged officer, who was called upon, instantly looked over with a stern face.

Princess Shasha, confused: “Witness what?”

Sirius also looked over.

Nalun smiled: “I don’t want to be watching the event halfway and get asked to switch seats again. Since you strongly requested it, Princess, I agreed to switching seats with you. Please sit properly in this seat and enjoy the rest of the ceremony.”

He asked in a heavy voice: “Shasha, are you satisfied?”

The Princess nodded her head happily: “Should have been like this from the start.”

Nalun smiled politely.

He turned sideways, bowed, and then extended a hand towards the bewildered looking Admiral.

“See, seats can only be exchanged under the approval of both parties. Believe me. Baron Lunklan won’t acknowledge your one-sided, personal decision to switch seats.”

The color of Sirius’s eyes turned deep. Seeing the slender hand before him, he grabbed it firmly and stood up from his seat.

“You’re exactly correct. I shouldn’t have occupied someone else’s seat assertively……” Sirius sounded resolute and decisive: “Then I’ll be heading back.”

After that, under Princess Shasha’s astonished gaze, the Imperial Admiral and his highness the Honored Prince, left hand in hand.

Sirius returned his seat. Meanwhile, Nalun sat down leisurely in the seat that originally belonged to her!

She looked blankly at the two people and then looked at herself, who had been abandoned all to her lonesome.

After she digested all of this, she was so mad, she blew up like a pufferfish.

The treacherous and cunning Charvey!

No, she refused to lose here!

Sirius peeled a grape from the fruit plate in front of him and handed it over to Nalun: “Try one?”

Nalun swept him a look and reluctantly accepted the Admiral’s gift of thanks.

“Occasionally showing weakness is only to deliver a more forceful counter attack. Shasha is actually too outrageous. Under this kind of situation, even if it makes her angry, it’s better than encouraging her in the long run. Right now, she’s only throwing a temper at me. What about the future? One day, she will have to grow up. No one would tolerate and forgive her forever.”

Sirius had an expression like he was humbly accepting the lecture.

Nalun, sincerely and heartfelt: “Although the Empire teaches us to be polite towards women, this courtesy should be returned equally. In comparison, you’re really not blunt enough.”

Sirius peeled another grape for him.

This time Nalun didn’t accept. He said with furrowed brows: “No thanks. Too sour.”

Therefore, Sirius withdrew the offer and put it in his own mouth. Half a moment later, he said: “En. It really is very sour.”

“Charvey! You deceived me!” The persistent Princess once again charged in front of them.

Sirius, who was currently chewing on the grape, gave her an ice-cold look.

Princess Shasha instantly quieted down. A few seconds later, she felt extremely grieved.

“Sirius, you glared at me…… how could you glare at me?”

Seeing she was about to start wailing loudly, Nalun gave a cold scoff: “I have to remind you briefly. The camera is currently pointing right at you. The Derlin family’s reputation definitely can’t stand your consumption like this.”

Princess Shasha froze where she stood. Half a second later, her face flushed. Shaking, she lifted the hem of her dress and ran out of the crowd.

Sirius quietly gave Nalun a look of awe.

Nalun expressed, this was nothing at all, and also tactfully mocked Sirius briefly for being useless in this area.

Hearing this, the Admiral didn’t even get angry. He discovered that although the Honored Prince’s manner of speech was rather ruthless at times, when they’re on the same side, this kind of quality became extremely delightful and pleasing.

Under Nalun’s overwhelming victory, this moment of absurdity came to an end.

Officer Reggie, who observed this entire process, sat in his seat quietly, wide eyed and open mouthed. Thinking back on all the precious sons and daughters of nobility who cried in anger because of Princess Shasha throughout the years, Officer Reggie gained a new understanding on how difficult it was to deal with the Honored Prince.

Before this, he had always heard that the Honored Prince Charvey Sr. ’s young son was very unreasonable and unapproachable. He originally thought he would be a male version of Princess Shasha. Yet now he discovered that the two people weren’t even on the same level.

Nevertheless, seeing that Princess lose out here, was actually something that made him very happy.

After all, his young daughter had once been ridiculed by the Princess for half a month for wearing a green puffy dress. However, because the Princess was young back then, as an elder, he couldn’t meddle in the affairs of the youngsters. Therefore, this matter could only be left unsettled.

His baby girl actually felt hurt for a very long time.

Yet clearly, his daughter looked very cute in the green puffy dress!

And he was the one who meticulously chose that dress!

Even the good tempered Officer Reggie couldn’t help but hold a grudge. It’s clear to see here how mediocre Princess Shasha’s relationships with others were.

Sirius’s followers were also no strangers to this #1 ‘lady’, who’s constantly clinging to the Admiral with a death grip. She had a very big vlog online and would occasionally post some ridiculous comments.

For example–

When she came of age, she posted: “Grew up for you.”

The netizens expressed: Are you saying without the Admiral, you would remain underage forever? Don’t just forcibly ignore the natural growth and development of living beings and forcibly place the blame on the Admiral, thanks.

After the news of the one-night-stand broke out, she said: “Something I don’t dare to face.”

The netizens were unaffected: Dare to face what? It’s not like the Admiral slept with you. Don’t add script, alright?

Even last night, she posted another comment: “I finally grew up. Signing up for the competition for the first time in my life. He’s also participating in this year’s hunting competition after many years of hiatus. Suddenly, I’m a little excited.”

A requirement for participating in the Hunting competition was to be an adult.

The netizens were shocked: The little Princess’s fantasy world is quite vast and limitless. In her eyes, the Admiral signed up for the hunting competition just for her?

Other than all of this, she also hinted many times that only the most precious and noble woman in the Asha Empire was worthy of the Admiral.

The most precious and noble woman in the Empire? His Majesty, the Emperor, hasn’t married and only had one sister. If this were ancient times, a Princess would indeed be incomparably precious and noble. However, right now…… please, the feudalism era has long passed. Who cares if you’re a princess or an immortal fairy. Failing an exam means failing the course like everyone else. Not walking on the sidewalk results in reprimand and re-education all the same.

Yet just because of her identity, she can always find opportunities to cling to Sirius, and then post some updates, for example: “Today I saw the Admiral”, “We talked about this together”……

The followers practically wished they could climb into the screen and drag out this troublesome and dramatic brat for a good lecture.

Right now, this wish was coming true.

What Nalun didn’t know was that his loyal subordinates not only conscientiously completed Marshall’s request, they also kept in mind the Honored Prince’s orders as well.

Therefore, what appeared in front of the audience was Admiral Sirius’s high definition, solo action ‘visuals’.

It started after Sirius stood up from his seat and threw off Princess Shasha. Whenever the camera turned towards the Admiral, it stopped being panoramic. The audience saw that the Admiral seemed to have approached someone and sat down in his newly found seat. After that, the Admiral turned and started chatting with the person beside him.

Oh fuck, who could it be?

What’s going on with the cameraman this year?

Even if it’s to show consideration towards them, so they could see their beloved idol a few more times, it didn’t have to be this extreme.

After a while, the camera view finally pulled back and changed into a wide view shot again. However, now it was pointed at the main stage of the ceremony.

The followers: “…….”

In that moment, they all simultaneously felt a strong sense of deceit and betrayal.

When the camera moved back, Princess Shasha appeared in front of the Admiral again.

The meticulously dressed young lady wasn’t actually bad looking. In fact, with an unbiased assessment, she can be considered a little beauty. However, her arrogant manner made it hard for people to like her even the slightest.

The followers thought it was strange. This really didn’t seem like the same little princess who spent all day pretending to be pitiful in front of the Admiral.

With another closer look, they discovered that she wasn’t actually looking at Sirius. Rather, it was at the person beside him.

In order words, just who was sitting beside Sirius?!

The followers all rubbed their little hands, very much wishing they could climb into the screen and move the camera over a little.

However…… seeing the Princess’s overbearing manner, they couldn’t help but wipe a handful of sweat for the mysterious figure with unknown gender, appearance, and age.

The two people seemed to be engaged in a dispute.

Perhaps not wanting to broadcast any negative images of the participants, the camera view switched to His Majesty the Emperor.

“……”

This unmarried Emperor, who just passed 30 this year, was also very handsome. During the entire time, he maintained an appropriate smile as he chatted harmoniously with the people in the surroundings.

But this wasn’t interesting at all!

The bored audience started posting comments.

“Watching wide-eyed while my male god gets tarnished, but unable to do anything……”

“Ah, His Majesty’s brows got thicker again.”

“A suffocating scene.”

“Cameraman, there’s no chicken leg for you today.”

“There’s no chicken breast either.”

“You can also forget about the chicken butt.”

“……”

Perhaps the cameraman was stunned at reading these comments, Sirius finally appeared on the screen…… in a view where he’s sitting side by side with Princess Shasha.

The audience fell silent.

The little Princess Shasha shamelessly got her way once again.

–A very disappointing ending.

“Pei pei pei!”

“Pei pei pei!”

“Pei, don’t spit on the Admiral!”

Sirius’s expression of utter despair can practically break out of the video.

Princess Shasha smiled smugly.

Just at this time, a back figure walked into the view.

This was the back figure of a man, tall and slender, with his back upright and straight. He wore a tailored, well-fitted suit. His short black hair was neat and tidy, the end slightly curly, which imperceptibly gave off a gentle and soft feel.

He stood in front of Sirius, completely covering the face of their beloved idol.

However, no one was actually angry because of this.

Because when he leaned forward and bent slightly at the waist, his curved back looked extremely beautiful.
