Chapter 1526 - 1066: How About... We Come Back Another Day? (2)

But suddenly, Reiger grabbed Beluti’s hand.

"Wait."

Reiger stopped Beluti, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

"What’s the matter, sir?"

Beluti wasn’t frightened by Reiger’s sudden action.

Although Beluti never allowed men to touch her body, and even rarely engaged in seemingly intimate actions with women, last night she had been held by Reiger for so long that she didn’t mind Reiger grabbing her hand, nor did she feel any ill intentions from Reiger.

However, Beluti was still somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Reiger wanted to stop her.

Could something have happened again?

Thinking of last night’s events, Beluti’s heartstrings were secretly pulled tight.

However, Reiger did not show any vigilance, but instead, his expression became increasingly strange, even awkward.

"Sir?"

Beluti couldn’t help but lower her voice and ask again.

"Ahem..." Reiger coughed twice, as if he had something that couldn’t be spoken easily, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Didn’t you hear anything?"

Sound?

What sound?

Beluti immediately perked up her ears and listened intently.

Upon listening, a deliberately suppressed strange sound reached Beluti’s ears.

"Your Highness... please don’t do this..."

A shy voice sounded from inside the room, making Beluti slightly startle.

Immediately, another somewhat familiar voice followed.

"Don’t be afraid, relax, I just want to get a little closer and have a good talk with you..."

The frivolous voice carried ambiguity and a playful smile, making Beluti seem to realize something, her pretty face beginning to turn red.

In the room, the voices of a man and a woman increasingly made one’s imagination run wild, one naughty, the other full of shyness and the play of wanting but resisting, making Reiger and Beluti feel more and more awkward, with a strong urge to turn around and leave.

"...This shouldn’t be Princess Lilicia’s voice, right?"

Reiger didn’t know whether to be speechless or admiring, and said this.

"Of course not!" Beluti, who hadn’t been scared earlier, was now frightened and quickly said: "Even though those two aren’t born of the same mother, they are both the current King’s biological children of Sagelros Empire, genuine siblings, how could such a thing happen?"

Actually, Reiger thought it wasn’t either.

The female voice obviously wasn’t the lively and playful Lilicia; it was a voice Reiger had never heard before.

The reason he said this was merely to break the indescribable atmosphere.

"Should we... come another day?"

Reiger suddenly felt he was not in such a hurry.

"Alright, alright."

Beluti nodded quickly, eager to leave immediately.

Unfortunately, the sound of their conversation couldn’t ultimately escape from the people inside the room.

"Who?"

The voice that had been frivolous and mischievous suddenly turned severe, even containing a hint of anger, coming from inside the room.

Before Reiger and Beluti could react, the door was opened forcefully.

Inside the door, Pasiphus appeared disheveled in front of Reiger and Beluti, and in the back, a somewhat pretty maid could be seen hastily clutching clothes and rushing into the inner room in a very rushed manner.

"Sir? And the Saint...?!"

Pasiphus, upon seeing the full view of the two outside the door, suddenly lost the anger on his face, his eyes widened and showed evident signs of wavering.

Especially upon seeing Beluti, Pasiphus was directly flustered, hurriedly closed the door, disappearing from in front of Reiger and Beluti.

"..."

Reiger and Beluti looked at each other, speechless.

A few seconds later, the door in front of them was once again forcefully opened.

Having tidied his clothes, Pasiphus, in a well-dressed manner, smiled at the two as if nothing had happened.

"I didn’t expect it to be you and the Saintess visiting. Please forgive me for not greeting you in time."

Pasiphus bowed deeply to the two with a courteous salute, his smile so warm and natural that it made one doubt whether the disheveled person just seen was truly the elegant Prince before them now.

"...Hello."

The corners of Reiger’s mouth twitched slightly, responding simply to the other party.

As for Beluti... she didn’t really want to talk to Pasiphus at this moment.

The reason was nothing more than a feeling of him being a refined scoundrel.

A sense of gold and jade on the outside, ruins on the inside emanated from him, leaving Beluti unsure of how to start.

Fortunately, Beluti had a firm disposition, having traveled extensively and seen many good and bad scenes. She composed herself after a short time.

"Good morning, Prince Pasiphus," Beluti said politely. "May I ask if Lady Lilicia is here?"

Alright, although she had composed herself, Beluti still wanted to end this meeting quickly.

"Lilicia?" Pasiphus was slightly taken aback, then truthfully said, "She’s not here; she went out early this morning."

Obviously, if his sister hadn’t run out early in the morning, he wouldn’t have been idle enough to tease the maids in the mansion.

No matter how unruly, Pasiphus would not do such corrupting things in front of his sister.

"Where did Her Highness go?"

Beluti continued to inquire politely.

"Probably went to the market, I guess?" Pasiphus said uncertainly, "That girl wouldn’t just sit around in a room killing time. Something big happened last night, and it’s undoubtedly lively outside, so she surely went to join the buzz."

"Is that so?" Beluti still responded very politely, "In that case, we won’t disturb you."

"How could you be a disturbance?" Pasiphus quickly said, "Your visit could not make me happier, please come in and sit."

Saying this, Pasiphus intended to step aside to let Reiger and Beluti in, but he then remembered something, his body stiffening as he froze in place.

Reiger then said with a half-smile.

"Now might not be the most convenient time for us to enter, better not!"

This remark also made Pasiphus unable to keep up his façade for much longer.

"No...that...it’s all a misunderstanding..."

The playful Prince began to speak hesitantly.

Beluti maintained her polite demeanor, ignoring Pasiphus’s fluster, and softly spoke.

"We came to ask Lady Lilicia for help, and since she’s not here, we won’t stay any longer."

"But as for you, Prince Pasiphus..."

Beluti glanced at the room behind Pasiphus, hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"I understand you’re not one to suffer loneliness, but considering this is Lord Quellus’s residence..."

"Uh..."

"I hope you exercise some restraint..."

Having said that, Beluti bowed courteously, like a good friend offering advice, and took Reiger’s hand, leaving in front of Pasiphus.

Reiger originally wanted to say more but went along with Beluti as she took his hand and turned to leave.

"Bang!"

Faintly, Reiger seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.

"No!"

Pasiphus’s wailing, as if he were heartbroken, only reached Reiger and Beluti after they turned around the corridor out of sight of Pasiphus’s room.

Hearing this sound and seeing Beluti’s somewhat awkward, hurried demeanor to leave, Reiger couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Pasiphus.

He could clearly see Pasiphus’s feelings, knowing that the prince was likely bewitched by the angelic Saintess before him.

Alas, he missed his chance.

"My condolences..."

With sympathy for Pasiphus, Reiger let Beluti lead him away from there.

Today, one heartbroken person is destined to appear.
