Chapter 273
Of course Jupiter knew what Nia wanted him to "understand": the Duke and Duchess of Blacks probably didn't believe their "formal relationship" from the beginning to the end.
It's just that the Duchess gave him the option of "pretending to be real". I'm afraid the "hint" Nia heard from the Duke was the same.
So he couldn't see it unless he was stupid: Nia hoped that he could "stick to it" - on the surface, it was natural to change from "formal relationship" to "engagement", but behind the scenes, the main purpose was to make a fake show!
It's just that if he nods again this time, there really won't be any "acting" content, it will all be true.
.
Want to regret it?
That is even more impossible!
Jupiter suddenly had a headache, and now he had one thought in his mind: He just knew it!
Although he couldn't avoid what was coming, the Duchess was so considerate of his fiancée's problem! I wish I could shove a bunch of girls in front of him and let him choose.
But it can’t be now: the story line of the great prince is still continuing, and the story line of the brave man is not over yet.
Now the story line of the eldest princess is even more messy, making him feel like he is facing a formidable enemy. How can he have the energy to care about his own future?
Therefore: it was not difficult to decide what he wanted - he could only refuse tactfully and then tell Nia various reasons.
Whether she is busy with studies or her future is unclear, in short... let Nia not be too... positive, lest it backfires.
As for the fiancée, put it off as long as you can, and when the time is right... let's see what Nia thinks.
He could only give the classic answer: I don't know.
Because: He knew Sylphy very well, but in this matter, he couldn't guess how Sylphy would react.
However, the next moment he realized: the thing that bothered him... was far more than just Nia's expectations!
Just when he was about to think of something to say in response to Nia's eager anticipation...
"Crack" a crisp sound!
"ah!"
Next to me came the scream of a little maid who was responsible for serving drinks to the guests at the dinner party!
In a blink of an eye, Jupiter saw: all the glasses on the plate that the little maid was carrying were broken! Drinks were spilled all over the floor!
It wasn't the maid who accidentally fell.
But...the cup was frozen to pieces!
Suddenly, he felt a cold chill coming from his neck! It made him shiver!
Incomparably familiar!
Because: That is the cold air of ice magic possessed by the little princess Alicia!
200. (3000 words)
The little princess Alicia has a serious and kind character as the C heroine. If she accidentally failed to control her powerful ice magic and "froze" the surrounding area, she would definitely come back to her senses immediately.
Suppressing her shiver-inducing ice magic, she apologized for the impact.
However, at this moment, when Jupiter looked around, all he saw was: Alicia had no regard for that pitiful little maid who was simply a "misfortune from heaven"!
Because Alicia's whole mind has already been on his side! She also had no intention of concealing the chill all over her body!
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The two girls hadn't made a sound yet, but only the master and Jupiter could see and hear it. The elemental magic goblins belonging to the two girls started fucking first!
Nia's wind-magic goblin is the first to be hit!
"What are you looking at!?"
And the ice magic fairy next to Alicia is not a vegetarian either!
He immediately jumped on Alicia's shoulders and fought back unceremoniously!
"What are you looking at!?"
Then, there was a quarrel that made Jupiter's head grow bigger!
"Lost dog!"
"Mistress!"
"Stealing cat!"
"Vixen!"
However, the goblins were so noisy that they almost brought down the entire dinner party with their magic!
Cute Lissia or Nia, but they had no intention of paying any attention to her.
In fact, the expressions of the two of them were so focused at the moment that Jupiter felt that neither of them had noticed that the goblin, the symbol of one of the heroines in the original game, was already pinching her.
On the side, before the poor little maid could figure out what happened, a senior maid came over and pressed her head, apologizing profusely to the nearby guests who were shocked by the accident.
Along with all this noise, Nia's poisonous tongue attribute emerged again.
only……
This time it was not directed at Jupiter, but... directed at Alicia!
The sour vinegar smell hit his nose!
"What's wrong, Princess Alicia, do you have any objections?"
Alicia did not respond.
Rather: she didn’t even seem to want to respond to Nia’s provocation!
Ever since the long vacation from the college, when several of them were invited by Fini to go to the summer palace together for vacation, perhaps as the time together increased, Jupiter could sometimes feel that Alicia had become "gentle and cheerful" So a little.
but
: Alicia's "generosity" was withdrawn just a moment ago... so coldly!
As if she heard something that was absolutely intolerable to her, Jupiter's attitude towards Nia changed back to the gloomy and cold attitude he had when he saw Alicia again in the academy.
Jupiter thought: Alicia and Nia don't have any deep hatred?
Then, when Alicia's silent gaze struck his face, he finally understood the meaning of Alicia's emotionless gaze to him!
This is Alicia's silent threat to him: What Nia did just now was about to make a move... You must not agree!
you dare! ?
As long as you accept Nia's request and become engaged to the daughter of an elf diplomat...
The day after the official announcement, you are waiting to be packed into dozens of bags and stay in the cold storage of my manor forever!
The slightest bit of chill seeped in, making Jupiter shiver uncontrollably - as if he had really come to stay in the icehouse!
My limbs seemed to be getting chilly! But my mind was a mess.
He really didn't understand... He wasn't even sure what the little princess Alicia in front of him was thinking! ?
All this time, Alicia has never stopped speaking out about holding grudges! Even like Gou Jian, the king of Yue, he was willing to sacrifice his life and try his best - the family still has the dress that Xilu Fei stepped on when she bullied her ten years ago!
It's just that Alicia's help to him in the adventurer commissions and his promotion tasks, and all kinds of strange remarks made him couldn't help but doubt the attitude of the little princess towards him!
He even had a little delusion: Alicia... was being too kind to him.
Have...a good impression or something?
Alicia just "couldn't hold it back" and the cold ice magic emanating from her body even "froze the glass to pieces" was really telling how Alicia felt! ?
He just simply didn’t want Nia to fake it and really become his fiancée… hindering Alicia’s “revenge plan”?
Or... is it because of a completely opposite reason that she doesn't want Nia to be so "active"?
After all: sometimes Alicia stares at him as hard as investigating and collecting evidence! The gloomy look in his eyes made his back feel hairy!
Sometimes Alicia would act like a very shy girl.
So: these two answers... Jupiter thinks: either one is possible.
But he wasn't sure about any of them.
There is no time to think about it slowly.
The next moment, Nia was like a little wild cat encountering a similar species that was snatching food. She seemed to have "exploded hair" and carefully watched Alicia's every move!
But the cute Lissia seemed to realize that "just looking at it is definitely not enough". After looking around to make sure there was no one around, she... came straight to Jupiter!
That cold whisper that seemed to be filled with "resentment" immediately interrupted the random thoughts in his mind!
"Jupiter, regarding the betrothed... I don't think you need to be so anxious to confirm."
Nia on the side was just about to argue something, but the lovely Lissia's eyes immediately drifted away.
Nia was immediately silenced - and Jupiter couldn't even smile bitterly for a while: Sylphy was still chatting with the Duke and Duchess at the moment, and he wanted to find an excuse to hide next to Sylphy. This dangerous topic cannot be dealt with.
He could only watch everything in front of him: Alicia's deep gaze that seemed to freeze him in ice; Nia's nervous expression of wanting to "join the battlefield" for fear of falling one step behind; and... The strange atmosphere between the two women in front of him made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles!
There were even meaningful words from Alicia regarding his decision on who his fiancée would be!
"You...you can think about it again, because there are...many choices for Nia and herself."
Immediately, Nia bit her lip and growled something even stranger as if she was not convinced!
"Alicia! We agreed not to do this!"
"You broke the contract first, right, classmate Nia?"
Every move, word and deed of the two women... To Jupiter, it was like those two wild cats fighting over a piece of fat!
The backs are arched, the hair is puffed, the tails are raised, and they are exclaiming at each other!
No one obeys anyone!
He glanced hastily, and Sylphy, who was laughing and chatting with the Duke and Duchess not far away, had certainly noticed his movements.
All of a sudden! Jupiter's blood pressure is about to rise!
However, what puzzled him was: this time, Sylphy didn't even look like she wanted to come over to "declare sovereignty". She was just talking.
There was a disdainful arc on his face, and he glanced at him...
That's all, and he immediately started talking to the Duke and Duchess about other things, as if he didn't care or worry about the situation on his side.
Just like the domestic cat sitting in the cradle next to the bed of the mansion, looking proudly at the wild cats outside meowing for a piece of fat.
And you can eat it every day.
Jupiter was dumbfounded for a moment, and even more suspicious in his heart: Could it be that Alicia is really also a "little wild cat"?
Are her attitudes and concerns towards him really similar to Nia's?
Just as I was trying to create an opportunity, I asked the little princess to confirm it in a roundabout way! However: the little princess Alicia and the elf diplomat's daughter Nia, plus he is "the protagonist tonight who is on par with the royal knight Freed-sama."
It’s hard for a combination of three people not to attract attention!
Perhaps the vast majority of the guests at the scene did not dare to approach and chat rashly, but... there were some acquaintances of Jupiter, but there was no need to estimate this.
The next moment, a familiar figure approached, and the little princess Alicia, who was still preparing to "explain", immediately retracted her eager look at him!
It also made him more or less relieved.
"The eldest prince" Finnie is here!
With it came the attention of all the guests present who noticed Finnie!
Jupiter even felt the resentment in the eyes of the eldest princess Anjie, who was standing with the royal knight Friede not far away and staring at him with resentment!
It was simply Alexander!
"Alicia, classmate Nia, you two are always bored here just to chat with Jupiter. Many guests who were expecting to talk to you tonight will have a problem with me?"
As always, Finnie, with a warm smile, was 100% aware of the "Asura field" he had just faced, and easily brought him an excuse to keep him safe temporarily.
And the two women were definitely not the domineering and self-centered people like the eldest princess Anjie, so they could naturally realize the change in the atmosphere now.
The two people who were just "furiously angry" with each other, at this moment, exchanged glances and reached a consensus.
