Thank you to reader The丶Baron for becoming the second steward of this book, and also to all the readers who have voted and supported this book. A new day has begun, and I would also like to ask for your recommendation votes.
...
Tang Cheng's shocking words left Historia speechless. She just stared at him with her beautiful, deep blue eyes, dazed, until after several seconds she finally managed to ask, "W-Why me?"
Historia didn't think she had that kind of value, nor did she believe she could be a good queen.
Tang Cheng smiled and sat back down, eating the food on the table as he said, "There are three reasons. First, if my coup succeeds, many people will benefit greatly. The Survey Corps won't have to face the harassment of the Military Police and the upper nobility anymore. But the one who will benefit the most is naturally the new king, because this new king won't be a puppet. I plan to give the military and administrative powers to the new king, achieving a dictatorship."
"Think about it, such a huge benefit. Although I don't care about it, I can't just give it to anyone. At the very least, I need to find someone who looks good to me. For example, if you were feeding rabbits, one rabbit is ugly and snarls at you, while the other is fluffy and affectionate. Wouldn't you give the good food to the second one?"
"Uh..." Historia wanted to nod but felt something was off.
"Second, although I cruelly rejected your confession last time, which ended your first love before it even began, that was quite a big blow for a girl your age. So, this is a good opportunity to make up for it. You don't need to thank me."
"No, I didn't... Uh!"
Historia instinctively wanted to say she didn't confess, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Tang Cheng sealed it with a spoon. Then he wagged his finger and said, "You don't need to feel embarrassed or try to hide anything. In fact, a man as wise and powerful as me is irresistible to a girl like you who is just starting to fall in love. Liking me isn't something to be ashamed of; it just shows you have good taste."
"Generally, I have no interest in ignorant little girls. For example, when I was in high school, if a girl confessed to me, I would slap her and tell her, 'How could someone like me be liked by a common girl like you!' And although you're not my type of long black hair, still..."
As he spoke, Tang Cheng leaned forward, pinched the girl's chin, and examined her from side to side. "If you look closely, you're actually quite cute. Especially since most Western women have larger frames, having a petite body like yours is a rare resource. So, I specially allow you the qualification to like me. How does that make you feel, happy?"
"..." Historia was in tears. She heard every word Tang Cheng said and understood their meaning, but why did she feel completely lost when they were put together... It can't be because I'm too naive, right?
As she thought this, Historia suddenly noticed that the spoon Tang Cheng used to seal her mouth was now scooping Mapo Tofu into his own mouth.
"Uh, wait... Ah!" Historia instinctively tried to stop him. If the spoon had been in her mouth and he used it to eat, wouldn't that be like an indirect kiss... No, hadn't that already happened?
Tang Cheng pulled the spoon out of his mouth and, seeing the girl across from him making a "Ziwei, don't go" gesture, pointed to the Mapo Tofu on the table with the spoon. "What, you want some too?"
"If you want it, just say so. Why be so hesitant? You're just being mouth-averse and body-straight." Tang Cheng said irritably, and without waiting for Historia's objection, he scooped a spoonful of the red, bubbling Mapo Tofu and shoved it into the girl's mouth.
"Swallow!"
The girl, caught off guard, instinctively swallowed, and then...
"Aah... Water! Water! Water..." The girl's face was as red as a sunset, and she no longer had her usual gentle and humble demeanor. She opened her mouth wide, breathing out hot air, and frantically grabbed the drinks on the table, pouring them into her mouth. Because she drank too quickly, she soon choked, tears and snot streaming down her face.
In a short moment, a beautiful and cute girl was reduced to a mess.
Three minutes later, after Historia had consumed two bottles of milk, a bottle of orange juice, two oranges, and a banana, she was lying on the floor, tears streaming down her face, and no longer wanted to speak.
"Sigh, if you can't handle spicy food, why did you eat it? I really don't understand." Tang Cheng walked over and handed her a towel.
Historia took the towel and wiped her face, feeling deeply wronged: Who made me like this?!
Thinking of her embarrassing state, which this man had seen, Historia felt like dying. As the saying goes, a girl who doesn't care about her appearance isn't a good girl. Every woman in the world pays attention to her appearance, especially the prettier ones. They never easily show their ugly side in public, especially in front of men. Once their ugly side is exposed to a man, perhaps the only choices are to kill him or marry him.
Of course, if neither is possible, the only option left is suicide.
Historia's mood was probably like this, a mix of various emotions.
Although Tang Cheng was heartless, he could see from Historia's expression that she wasn't in the mood to talk, so he decided to leave the rest for later. He patted the girl's shoulder and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Whether you want to be the queen, you should think about it carefully. It's a big decision for you. But because our time is limited, I'll give you one night to think about it. I'm going to sleep now."
After saying that, Tang Cheng turned and walked a few steps, then took off his coat and lay down on the bed against the right wall.
Historia had indeed planned to think about it, but seeing this scene, she was stunned.
"You...?"
Tang Cheng looked at her calmly and said, "You know, there weren't enough rooms today. When I passed by earlier, I saw that Reiner and Bertholdt were assigned to the same room with only one bed. Given their sizes, if they sleep together... the image is too beautiful, I can't even imagine it. So, I generously gave up my room. Since you have two beds, I'll just stay here for the night."
He made so much sense, Historia couldn't argue... "Where will I sleep?"
"You'll sleep with Ymir, of course. Do you want to sleep with me? Tsk..." Tang Cheng clicked his tongue, looking disdainful.
Even a gentle and kind girl like Historia felt the urge to flip the table at this moment. Compared to Tang Cheng's brazen occupation of her bed, what she found even more unbearable was his disdainful expression. Of course... she wasn't the type to show her anger, always thinking of others first, like a saint.
So, even though she was upset, she didn't think of kicking Tang Cheng out.
Even if she had the thought, she couldn't have done it.
With no choice, Historia walked to Ymir's bed, but after a few steps, her face suddenly changed. She remembered that after the room assignments in the evening, she had gone to the castle's bathroom to take a shower. Because she was so tired, she had left her change of clothes on the bed, and hadn't had time to...
"Hmm? Whose white underwear is this? It looks unwashed. And this B-cup bra..."
Swish!
Before Tang Cheng could finish, Historia, as if entering a superhuman realm, dashed over and snatched the underwear and bra from his hand. Then, at the same speed, she jumped back to Ymir's bed, didn't even take off her coat, and curled up in a corner, silently crying.
I want to die!
