Let's pretend this is real - that the king forced me to marry someone I don't love. He probably wouldn't mind playing the villain anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce remained silent. He wasn't one to interrupt Xie Antong's analysis at such moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consider it storytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, so what you initially said was wrong, correct?\" Xie Antong temporarily shifted her attention from Lu Ce back to the woman before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually don't love him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! That's not true! Although the king forced me to marry him, I do love him!\" The princess instantly grew agitated, speaking sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Xie Antong thoroughly confused, feeling like her brain wasn't functioning properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... perhaps you could tell us your story?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess seemed to have been waiting for this question, as a blissful expression instantly appeared on her face as she fell into reminiscence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Us... let me think. I first met him when I was sixteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you understand? That feeling when someone unexpected bursts into your boring life, making you feel like following him could lead you into another world entirely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that moment, she seemed to grow remarkably youthful, her eyes shining like precious gems, as if she had instantly returned to her sixteen-year-old self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one actually knew her exact current age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Xie Antong replied as if following the attendant rules, deliberately playing along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was also sixteen when I first met him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who exactly is she talking about...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Really?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess immediately perked up, speaking excitedly with an expression like she'd just met a kindred spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned forward and grabbed Xie Antong's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this interaction, Lu Ce now found himself feeling awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Arrogance, though superior to all, he inexplicably felt he should probably excuse himself from this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you feel at the time?\" The princess asked with a smile, now looking exceptionally spirited and healthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Similar to what you just described.\" Xie Antong said. \"But some say that's just the novelty effect, unrelated to love.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Who would say such annoying things.\" The princess frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong steered the conversation back. \"Never mind that.

He treated me so well...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted that peaceful life, to marry him, live without turbulence until death. Oh, and bear him seven or eight children...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight children... The audience was stunned, wanting to say \"damn impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xie Antong listened carefully, missing not a single word, knowing clues might hide anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, however, she noticed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman before her seemed starry-eyed, completely immersed in beautiful memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here was the problem - if everything was so wonderful, why resist the marriage and wedding now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, wasn't this originally someone the king forced her to marry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What changed in between?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she hesitated to interrupt the princess's increasingly fragmented murmurs, reluctant to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know what might happen if she abruptly pulled someone out of nostalgic bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when that someone might be the game's final boss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wouldn't it be terribly rude, potentially ruining the favorable impression she'd built?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But letting this continue wasn't productive either...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, that rude interruption came from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you spouting?\" Lu Ce said mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you loved him so much, why refuse to marry him now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the princess was yanked from heaven into hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong even felt pain in her hand as the princess's grip tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess remained silent for a full minute before tears burst forth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know...
