Chapter 458 Who was this?
Chapter 458 Who was this?
After we set off, I couldn’t help falling into deep thought.
As for what I was thinking about, it was naturally what the fourth prince had said to me.
He had told me that it would be the princess that would be in charge of the matter with the dwarves in the future. What he meant by this was the trade with the dwarves that would be done on behalf of the king.
Would the king really leave something this important to the princess?
As far as I knew, the princess never got involved in things like this.
She was the princess that the king loved and spoiled, which was why she was such a tomboy. She had never been involved in royal affairs before, so she definitely never did anything like this before.
So why would the king suddenly give her this role?
It was impossible that he didn’t know how important this role was, so why would he give it to someone who had never been involved in this kind of thing before?
Wouldn’t this be bad for him?
The more that I thought about it, the more confused I was.
After all, there were just too many things that were different from the world that I knew.
The second prince’s death and now the princess being given this role.
If I had to find one thing in common with this…it was that I was involved in this matter.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like I was changing the course of this world’s history.
That was something to be expected since I was not someone that belonged to this world, but at the same time…it was terrifying. That was because if this world was going to progress differently from the knowledge that I knew about this world, it would mean that this knowledge that I possessed was useless.
If I didn’t have my knowledge, there was very little that I would be able to do…
After all, the system that I had was…the Sex Toy System.
Other than a few useful items, I had gained nothing else from it so far. It had even gone into hibernation because I hadn’t been able to gather all the resources that it needed for the next step.
But then I suddenly realized something…
Wait, with the trade with the dwarves, didn’t that mean that I had enough resources now to start producing items with the system like it had been waiting for?
Did that mean that I would finally be able to use the system again?
But that hope died just as quickly as it came.
The system that I had was the Sex Toy System, so even if I could use the system to produce items, what good would that be?
What would I be able to do with a bunch of sex toys?
The more and more that I thought about my situation, the more I fell into despair.
It didn’t seem like there was a light at the end of this tunnel…
I just had no idea what to do.
But the mood was completely different on the other side.
…
The fourth prince couldn’t help looking at the princess with a strange look on his face.
That was because the princess currently had a look on her face that the fourth prince had never seen before.
This kind of shy expression that she had never revealed once in her life was creeping the fourth prince out.
He really wanted to say, “Just who are you?”
But of course, he was able to keep it in and not say it out loud in the end.
Though it did take quite a bit of effort on his part to stop himself from saying it out loud.
Finally after a long silence, the fourth prince asked, “Are you happy with how that turned out? You didn’t get to say a single word to him in the end.”
The princess jolted when she heard this before shyly lowering her head.
The fourth prince’s chin almost dropped when he saw her acting like this.
Was this really his rough and tough big sister who didn’t seem like a girl at all?
Was this really the one that had tormented him when they were younger?
He just couldn’t help refusing to believe this.
After lowering her head for a bit, she said in a soft voice, “Well, it felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest when he kissed my hand like that…”
The fourth prince’s lips twitched when he heard this.
He never thought that there would be a day where he would see his big sister like this…
But then he said with a sigh, “If you act like this around him, then what will happen in the future? How will you be able to even talk to him if you keep acting like this around him?”
The princess revealed a sad look when she heard this, but she still said, “I know…but it isn’t that easy. I’ve never felt this way before and it’s hard for me to adjust to this new feeling…”
Then after a pause, she added, “But I am trying. I will get better and talk to him properly next time we meet.”
The fourth prince’s lips couldn’t help curling into a smile when he heard this.
Though there was a bit of doubt in his mind, he still said, “I believe in you, big sister.”
After another silence, the princess suddenly came forward and took the fourth prince’s arm with her hands. Holding that arm, she looked up with a pleading look and said, “Little fourth, you have to help your big sister. How did you get so close to him already? Please tell me your secret.”
When he was hit head on this time, the fourth prince couldn’t hold himself back anymore as he said, “Who are you?”
When she heard this, the expression of the princess changed.
It slowly went from a pleading look to an angry look as she released his arm and slowly brought her hand to his head.
Then she…grabbed him in a death grip as she said, “It’s your loving big sister, don’t you recognize me?”
The fourth prince revealed a bitter smile when he was in this death grip, but for some reason…he couldn’t help feeling relieved.
This was the big sister that he was familiar with.
