Chapter 316 Knock
After all, everyone in the Kingdom of Kent knew about Li Cheng and Lena’s engagement.
In that case, it would be better to start getting used to it.
As for Li Cheng’s personality, Lena had observed it. She had a rough understanding of it and concluded that his man would never treat his own people unfairly. When she thought of this, Lena even snuggled into Li Cheng’s arms and said lightly, “Grand Duke Netherworld, can I ask you something?”
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. “What?”
Lena fell silent. She seemed to be hesitating, not knowing whether she should say what she was going to say next. After more than 10 seconds, Lena asked leisurely, “Grand Duke Netherworld, can you look into the future? Or did you come from the future?”
Hearing this, Li Cheng’s heart jumped. Could it be that this little girl had realized that he was reborn? This kind of meticulous thinking was really rare, especially for a young girl who had just come of age. However, Li Cheng did not have much expression on his face. Li Cheng had always treated his rebirth as his most precious secret. He had never told anyone, including Lillian and his Goddesses.
However, Li Cheng’s silence was already an answer to Lena’s question.
“Is that really the case, Grand Duke Netherworld?”
Lena raised her head and stared at Li Cheng with her beautiful eyes. She asked, “Then, Grand Duke Netherworld, if we follow the original script, her highness the Goddess and I, what would have been our fates?”
Li Cheng did not deny Lena’s words. He thought for a moment and said, “We died a horrible death.”
Hearing Li Cheng’s answer, Lena did not ask any more questions. Her face, which had always been cold, now had a smile from the bottom of her heart. Then, she snuggled into Li Cheng’s arms.
At this moment, Lena’s voice was very sincere. “Grand Duke Netherworld, thank you for saving her Highness the Goddess.”
Li Cheng looked at the perfect face of the girl in his arms, and his heart was also at a loss. Did he really save Ella?
In Li Cheng’s eyes, he was merely doing what needed to be done. At that time, he had approached Ella only to obtain her protection and power. Then, he wanted to control the Kingdom of Kent Kingdom to expand his power. He sighed softly and said, “You can call me Li Cheng. That’s my real name. “As for what we’ve spoken about, I hope you can keep my secret. You can’t even tell Ella. Understand?”
Lena nodded obediently, but she still said with some hesitation, “No problem, but I think you should tell the Goddess about this matter.”
Li Cheng shook his head slightly and said, “So what if I tell her? We’re all smart people. All the things in our previous lives are in the past. Just cherish the present.”
Li Cheng paused for a moment and then said, “If you’re saying I saved you. Don’t you have something to say about it?” Lena rolled her eyes at Li Cheng, then bit her lips and moved her head closer to his.
After a few seconds, their heads parted. Lena’s face was already red, and her voice was soft as she said, “Is this enough?”
Looking at Lena’s face, Li Cheng could not continue. He chatted with Lena for a while. After that, she put on her Queen’s gown and went to her meeting.
As for Li Cheng, he was naturally chased out by Lena.
After leaving the queen’s bedroom, Li Cheng walked toward the depth of the palace. He remembered that there was a princess from the Universe Alliance here.
At this time, Li Cheng arrived at an extremely remote corner. There was a door that was tightly shut. In the huge palace, it seemed a little deserted and out of place with the surrounding buildings.
Li Cheng did not knock on the door. He directly went in. Princess Betty’s slender figure was standing straight in front of the desk. She was holding a history book in her hand. Her face was calm and beautiful.
When Betty heard the door open, she turned around and asked, “Grand Duke Netherworld, what can I do for you?”
Betty clearly knew what kind of power the man in front of her had. She also knew her own situation, so she did not understand why this man would come to her room.
Li Cheng did not answer her immediately. Instead, she looked at the situation in the room. The decoration was not very luxurious, but it was definitely not bad. At least Lena had not abused her.
If he wanted to talk about the environment, one had to compare it to its previous state. After the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Kent, it was now extremely prosperous. Li Cheng pulled a chair and sat on it. Then, he asked, “Are you used to living here?”
Princess Betty came over and poured a cup of tea for Li Cheng. She smiled and replied, “Queen Lena takes good care of me. The food here is good. Occasionally, I can go for a walk in the garden, too.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng laughed. Not to mention other things, these people who came from the royal family had impeccable fake etiquette.
This Princess Betty in front of him had probably cursed him and Lena’s family hundreds of times in her heart, but on the surface, she looked very grateful. Li Cheng did not want to say anything to such a person.
“I’m not a politician or a noble in the Kingdom of Kent, and I won’t tell you anything fake.
“Here, I will ensure you get food and clothing. At the same time, as long as your kingdom is obedient, I will ensure their safety.
“As for the rest, I think you know clearly in your heart what should and shouldn’t be done. Your conscience will help you.”
Hearing this, Princess Betty’s expression changed. What kind of mind did this man in front of her have? When dealing with him, it was as if she did not have any secrets in her heart.
Princess Betty took a deep breath and put away the fake smile on her face. Her young face was full of seriousness. She bowed her head slightly to Li Cheng and said, “If that’s the case, that would be the best.”
Seeing Princess Betty’s expression, Li Cheng was too lazy to say anything else. So, he turned around and left. From his experience in his previous life, this Princess Betty was a smart person, so he did not need to say anything else.
One of the benefits of dealing with smart people was that as long as you gently knocked on them, they would guard your red line and never dare to cross it.
Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine the consequences.
