In this way, she put her mind into a state similar to "dreaming".
Beside her, Bernice, who was thinking with her head down, found a chair and sat down with the help of the faint moonlight that seeped through the treetops.
He said nothing and showed no emotion, as if he had turned into a lifelike statue.
This vampire girl with red eyes and black hair is indeed a very cute and elegant beauty if she doesn't speak or move.
Thus, the empty and dim tree house fell into a quiet peace.
Outside the Imperial University, in a remote and deserted neighborhood.
The bright and huge "blue moon" hangs high in the sky, like a cold and indifferent eye, looking down at the earth.
Two figures appeared in the dark corner at some point.
“…near here?”
A hoarse male voice came from one of them.
He was wrapped in a black robe and wore black leather gloves. Even his head and face were wrapped in black cloth that fitted the shape of his body. Only his eyes were exposed.
"Yes," said the other, in a tone so cold it made one shudder. "I smell him."
"finally……"
The black-robed man let out a long breath, and the only exposed eye was staring at the empty street. It was unknown what the meaning behind it was:
"After eleven years, I finally found that guy again..."
"Ha ha……"
The other person smiled coldly and said gloomily:
"He thought that if he could escape for a while, he could escape for the rest of his life, and live a good life of leisure and peace forever, forever excluding the pain, anger and hatred of his former companions from his sight and hearing."
"He is wrong," the hoarse voice of the man in black robe floated out in segments, echoing in the cold and silent moonlit night, "The reckoning will eventually come..."
Chapter 242 Royal Descendants
Imperial University, Nanyuan Student Dormitory Building, Building 3.
In dormitory 614, Donna, who was sleeping on the lower bunk of a bunk bed, had opened her eyes long before the big clock in the tower struck eight o'clock in the morning.
"A new day has begun again~!"
She lay flat on the bed and took a deep breath. As the foul air was exhaled, the slight fatigue that remained in her body and mind was mostly dispelled.
"Uh-huh……"
She sat up in bed, stretching her body and letting out sweet, thin whimpers.
Carefully and as quietly as possible, she took off her pajamas, changed into her uniform, and left the dormitory with brisk steps to wash in the public bathroom.
After a few minutes, the cool water completely washed away her tiredness, and she became full of energy again.
She let down her ponytail, tidied her long dark green hair, and walked out of the dormitory building up the stairs.
Today is Saturday, and the Imperial University has a two-day weekend system. If you don't choose special weekend courses, it is equivalent to a holiday.
But Donna got up early as usual.
"Have breakfast first, then go to the library, review the content of yesterday's mechanics and literary history class, do two sets of exercises to consolidate, and then go to have lunch..."
While she was thinking about today's plans in her mind, she walked towards the student cafeteria in Nanyuan with light steps.
Her face was filled with a bright smile, as if learning knowledge itself could bring her great happiness.
“Hehehe~~Hehe… Lala…Dudududu…”
Humming a casually made-up tune, she walked along the sidewalk of the campus and soon came to a square.
"!"
Just as she passed the center of the square, her expression suddenly changed, she stopped humming the song, and her steps became much steadier.
She saw an amber figure, surrounded by three or five people, walking by about ten meters to her left.
She was a girl about her age, with short amber hair that reached down to her neck, fair and rosy skin, and a delicate and pretty face.
She looked like a student, but she was not wearing a uniform. Instead, she was wearing a long dress that was overall simple and plain, but with many palace-style decorations and designs.
Among the people surrounding her, the closest one was a middle-aged man with old-fashioned clothes, a stern face and a thin figure.
He followed behind the girl with an expressionless face, looking quite serious and stern.
The others were students in uniform, both male and female, big and small, but all of them had flattering smiles on their faces, trying to find topics to talk about, or seemingly unintentionally revealing some inside information related to nobles, entrepreneurs, and navigators.
Faced with the flattering and fawning attitude of these students, the girl said very little, and only occasionally responded with a perfunctory "Oh", "Yeah", "I see", and "Okay, okay".
There was no expression on her delicate and pretty face, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, with a hint of displeasure lingering around her, as if she was a little impatient.
When Donna saw her, she quickly suppressed her smile and quickened her pace, as if she wanted to get away from this place and the girl with amber hair as quickly as possible.
Because she knew that when the key words "amber hair color", "palace attire", and "always accompanied by bodyguards" were combined, there was only one type of person who could match them in the entire Imperial University...
royalty.
Yes, there are royal descendants among the students of this campus.
Donna also knew who the amber-haired girl was.
She had never communicated with that person, but this person's name and identity spread throughout the campus in a very short time at the beginning of the school year.
The youngest daughter of the Glorious Plantagenet Emperor, His Majesty Octavius VIII, the third princess of the empire, Candice Octavius.
"To be honest, a princess from a country actually came to school?" A ethereal, pleasant, and slightly childish voice suddenly came into my ears, "I really can't understand it. Doesn't the royal family have private tutors?"
"what?!"
Donna shuddered and subconsciously turned her head to look to the right.
A girl wearing a cloak and a hood appeared beside him silently at some point and walked side by side with him.
"Ah, it's you! Um, um, uh..."
Donna immediately recognized the other person as the "handyman" who rescued her yesterday. She wanted to say hello, but found that she didn't know her name at all.
She was stuck for a moment, and her expression became stiff and awkward.
"One Zero Five," Qi Ji glanced at her, "Just call me that."
"Oh, oh!" Donna nodded immediately, and a pure and sweet smile appeared on her still pretty face again, "Yao Lingwu, hello! We meet again."
Although she thought the name "Yao Ling Wu" was very strange, she didn't think too much about it.
Because she came from a common family, she knew that some poor families really didn't care much about their children's names.
Among her fellow workers in the factory where her father worked, there were four "Joans," seven "Dicks," three "Johns," and several who had no names at all and were called by nicknames.
So, she didn't think too much about it and simply accepted the name "Yao Ling Wu", which didn't sound like a name.
"I'm going to have breakfast, will you join me?"
Donna said to Qi Ji cheerfully, leaning closer and reaching out to hold her arm.
"no need."
Qi Ji shook his head imperceptibly and swayed his body subtly, causing Donna's restless hands to fall into the air.
"All right……"
Donna drooped her lips a little disappointed that she couldn't touch those little hands and arms that felt so wonderful.
Qi Ji glanced at the amber-haired girl not far away and said slowly:
"That person is the princess? Why would the emperor's daughter go to school? If she wants to learn knowledge, can't she just ask someone to teach her in the palace?"
How could Donna, a common girl, understand these things? She said in confusion:
"I, I don't know. The adults must have their own plans for doing this, right?"
Qi Ji did not expect to get the answer from this small town test-taker, so he said to her:
"Then go eat."
Then he turned around and walked straight towards the third princess of the royal family, the beautiful girl with short amber hair, Candice Octavius:
"I'll ask myself."
"……what?!"
Seeing that the other party was actually walking directly towards the princess, Donna was stunned and stood there for a while without reacting.
"Hey! Wait, that's..."
By the time she came to her senses and wanted to stop him, Qi Ji had already passed through those fawning students and came to Candice's side.
"Did you hear everything I just said?"
Qi Ji kept a distance of more than one meter from the other party, looked directly at the face of the royal princess, and asked directly:
"Can you answer my question? I'm very curious."
Chapter 243: Disharmony between Spirit and Flesh (Part 7) ()
Candice raised her eyebrows and looked at the hiding guy in front of her with a very complicated look.
When Qi Ji and Donna were talking just now, the volume was not deliberately suppressed, it was just the sound of normal speaking.
But at this distance, it was unlikely that the princess could hear it, and around her, there were the students chattering non-stop.
But for some reason, she seemed to have heard it.
After a second or two of silence, she was about to say something with obvious displeasure between her brows.
A boy next to her noticed her expression, suddenly took a step forward, looked down at Qi Ji, and rebuked him in a rather harsh tone:
"You rude fellow! How do you talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess?!"
Although he didn't hear the content of the conversation between Qi Ji and Donna, it didn't stop him from criticizing her attitude.
Because in his eyes, there were signs of unhappiness on Her Royal Highness the Princess's face, and that was enough!
If Her Royal Highness the Princess is unhappy, it means that this weird little girl is wrong!
There is no need to delve into what the mistake was, it’s always okay to curse a few times.
He was not worried whether this little girl in a cloak and a hood was a young lady from a wealthy family with a strong background. First of all, she was dressed like this, so her status and position could not be very high.
Secondly, even if she really has some background, can it be bigger than the royal family? He is speaking for Princess Candice, who dares to say he is wrong? Isn't that just embarrassing the royal family?
In such a huge empire, few people have the courage to do this.
Qi Ji glanced at the man, not wanting to pay attention to him, and continued to talk to Candice:
"Your health is like this, and you still come to school?"
Her words were incoherent and left those around her confused.
But Candice's expression suddenly changed, and she stared at her with wide eyes:
"What do you mean?!"
The students surrounding her were shocked by such a violent reaction. They had never seen Her Royal Highness the Princess lose her composure like this in front of outsiders.
"Literally," Qi Ji added slowly with a faint smile on his face, "In your situation, shouldn't you eat more good food? Do you think you'll live long enough to live in a place like this with so many people?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you damn girl, what are you talking about?!"
The boy immediately realized that something was wrong with the words, and seeing Candice's expression suddenly become extremely ugly, with her eyes frighteningly cold, he immediately stood up:
"Do you know who this is? How dare you curse Princess Candice?! This is an act of usurpation! This is such blasphemy! You..."
"shut up."
Candice suddenly interrupted him.
She didn't speak loudly, but her tone was commanding and tolerant of disobedience. Her voice was so cold that it made people feel uneasy. The boy immediately shut up and didn't dare to make a sound.
After silencing the boy, she stared gloomily at Qi Ji's eyes which were covered by the hood, and repeated word by word:
"I'll say it again, what do you mean?"
"There are so many people here, do you really want me to just say it?"
