Chapter 1237: Painting (Part 1)

"Fei Liya."

Hmm...

"Fei Liya, wake up quickly."

Who? Who is calling me?

"Fei Liya, stop sleeping, you should wake up."

Don't make noise, don't make noise, I'm getting up right now!

Under the call of the familiar voice, the green-eyed young lady subconsciously reached out to rub her eyes, then sat up from the ground, surveying the situation around her with a blank face.

Lawn, fountain, pool, platform... The carved brick road covered in mud moss, the exquisite sculptures with missing corners, the unmanaged green space withered in patches, weeds growing wildly in the dilapidated garden—everything looked so strange, yet so familiar...

This is... the old garden behind the Wang Gong?

"You finally woke up."

Looking at Fei Liya, whose hair was messy and who was sitting blankly on the withered yellow grass, Prince An De Lie, standing behind her, couldn't help but chuckle. Then, while continuing to set up the easel, he said with a somewhat nostalgic expression:

"You used to like sleeping on the lawn very much, especially when it wasn't that hot in the summer. You would always pester me to take a parasol and bring you to this garden to play.

After playing until you were tired, you wouldn't even wipe your sweat, just set up the parasol and lie on the ground, and start sleeping soundly. While sleeping, you would roll around, and your little face would be rubbed like a mud monkey, which caused me to be scolded by mother quite a few times..."

An De Lie Ge Ge...

Looking at the gentle expression on Prince An De Lie's face, Fei Liya's originally somewhat panicked heart couldn't help but relax subconsciously. Then she couldn't help but ask:

"Just now..."

"Just now I controlled that troublesome cleaning personnel and rescued you from his hands. You are safe."

"Ah... That's good..."

"..."

Looking at the green-eyed young lady who was standing in place after asking the question and had delayed walking over, Prince An De Lie blinked in surprise. Then, as if he understood something, he furrowed his brows tightly and said:

"Did he say something to you?"

"Hmm..."

Fei Liya naturally understood who the "he" in An De Lie's mouth specifically referred to. Recalling Li Ang's words from before, the green-eyed young lady couldn't help but bite her lip, but in the end, she chose to confess directly:

"That person told me... you wanted to kill me at least twice.

When attacking the Scorpio branch director, you should not have known that I had already been taken away by Li Ang, but in order to prevent me from being taken away by Director Scorpio, you still directly ordered the shelling of the 38th Administrative Zone where the Cleaning Bureau is located.

Also, you had A Ti Fei 00 replace me and take control of the entire kingdom's long-range weapons. Once she saw a suspicious target leaving the Wang Du, she was to immediately start saturation bombing... Are these all true?"

"..."

After listening to the green-eyed young lady's questioning, Prince An De Lie couldn't help but fall silent, then nodded slightly.

"Hmm... I did indeed give those two orders."

"..."

"But you also know, I had no choice but to do so."

Looking at the disappointed expression of his most beloved younger sister, An De Lie sighed, explaining with a sincere expression:

"Fei Liya, you are also an official member recognized by the Lu Wang Society. You know the situation over there. Both you and I have constraints. We must ensure that the bloodline of the Ke Luo Ke Wang Shi is severed, and I only had one chance to ambush the Scorpio branch director.

If I had held back during the attack because of your situation and failed to keep him there, once he abandoned the other cleaning personnel and forcibly took you away from the Ke Luo Ke Wang Guo, then both of us would be executed by the 'constraint'." "Hmm... I know."

The green-eyed young lady nodded and responded in a low voice:

"I don't blame you. After all, it was all my fault that things turned out like that. If I hadn't been unable to suppress my curiosity and risked approaching Li Ang, you wouldn't have needed to make such a choice. I was too willful."

"This isn't your fault."

Prince An De Lie shook his head upon hearing this and said with a headache:

"I agreed when you went. After all, my previous actions didn't reveal any flaws. In the eyes of the Cleaning Bureau, the entire royal family should still be alive, and they had no need to take action against you.

But that Li Ang..."

Thinking of the guy who, even after being turned into a clown in the "Royal Night Banquet," could still grab his pain points and output frantically, Prince An De Lie's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice, then he said somewhat helplessly:

"He is not normal.

Fei Liya, after you were caught by him, I truly thought for a long time and couldn't understand why he would take action to grab you without hesitation when he didn't know anything about the situation..."

"..."

After listening to her brother's complaints, the green-eyed young lady couldn't help but touch the back of her head, which had been cut open by Li Ang, with lingering fear, and also fell silent.

Indeed, that pervert is truly outrageous.

Before she decided to approach him, she had used the intelligent machine core to calculate repeatedly. And no matter how she calculated, the final result was that he wouldn't take action against her. But that pervert dared to do just that, and after chatting with her for two sentences, he took action to grab her without a second word.

As for how to evaluate that person... thinking about it, there was only one word that was appropriate, and that was "not very normal."

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."

After the two siblings, who were exhausted by Li Ang's "abnormal behavior," were silent for a while, Prince An De Lie took the initiative to break the silence. While lowering his head to organize the easel, he said to comfort her:

"The trap aimed at the Scorpio director hadn't been triggered at the time. My goal was to stabilize them as much as possible, so whether it was me or you, someone always had to go and approach that Li Ang.

And if you hadn't proposed wanting to go, then the person caught by him would likely have been me. The situation would probably have been even worse than it is now. In short, being caught was not your fault."

"Hmm..."

After nodding to accept the comfort, the green-eyed young lady looked at the easel placed in front of An De Lie and asked somewhat hesitantly:

"An De Lie Ge Ge, are you preparing to paint my portrait again?"

"Yes."

After stretching the canvas on the easel, Prince An De Lie nodded. Then, while cleaning the painting brush with turpentine, he responded with a focused expression:

"In the past, when I was painting you, it was always just a resemblance. Although there were no problems with the technique, I could never capture that hazy feeling. But now it's different. I now have the confidence to paint the most complete you."

"That's good..."

The green-eyed young lady nodded upon hearing this, then bit her lip slightly, and then asked:

"An De Lie Ge Ge, can I know why you couldn't paint me well in the past, but now you have the confidence and feel you can paint me well?"

"..."

Hearing Fei Liya's questioning, Prince An De Lie, who was outlining the lines, couldn't help but pause slightly. Then he raised his head and looked toward the green-eyed young lady, furrowing his brows:

"Why are you asking this?"

"I just want to know an answer..."

Fei Liya's little fist clenched slightly. She looked up and stared directly at Prince An De Lie before her, asking softly:

"An De Lie Ge Ge, is the person you have been painting really me?"
