Chapter 709

~6 min read 1,008 words

The little rose was even more unhappy. Her cousins were much worse than her, yet they got such a handsome husband who was valued by her grandmother!

She was not in a good mood. Leaving the courtyard, she happened to see Liu Bei chatting and laughing with her two maids.

These two maids were glowing, feeling as if they couldn't wait to offer themselves to Liu Bei!

The little rose snorted, glared at Liu Bei, and walked away!

Liu Bei??

"Where did I offend her?"

Early the next morning, Liu Bei, who had changed into chainmail and looked even more handsome, arrived outside the little rose's courtyard.

The little rose walked out with two maids, seemingly not seeing Liu Bei and walking straight ahead.

Liu Bei? Turning a blind eye to her savior; this girl really needed to be disciplined.

The little rose was very depressed. Thinking about the handsome guard she had picked up outside, who was about to become her cousin-in-law, a nameless fire in her heart made her toss and turn, unable to sleep.

"Miss, where are we going today?" a blonde maid asked.

"To the orphanage from yesterday."

The maid exclaimed.

"Miss, you encountered danger just yesterday, and you're going again today?"

The little rose was also stubborn.

"The children have waited for me all day; I cannot break my promise again."

Liu Bei called a few guards to accompany them.

The group arrived at the orphanage without incident.

The little rose's expression became very gentle.

"Children, look what I brought you."

"Candy!"

The children surrounded the little rose, chattering away.

Liu Bei held his sword with both hands, secretly praising in his heart,

"The little rose's expression management is truly excellent. She seems to only truly relax when she comes to the orphanage."

A little girl peeled a candy.

"Sister Margaery, you have one too."

The little rose looked at Liu Bei triumphantly, as if to say how popular she was, but unfortunately, joy soon turned to sorrow.

"Cough! Cough!"

The candy got stuck in her throat and happened to block her trachea!

The little rose was instantly in extreme discomfort. The nun and the maid also noticed the abnormality and rushed to rescue her, patting her back hard, but it had no effect!

The little rose felt she was about to suffocate and die.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her from behind, striking upward and outward rapidly more than a dozen times, and the candy finally flew out of her throat!

Liu Bei brushed away her messy hair and checked on her.

"Alright, it's fine now."

The little rose's face was flushed red, not knowing if it was from holding her breath or from being bumped by Liu Bei.

She recovered a bit.

"What were you doing just now..."

Liu Bei smiled.

"The Heimlich maneuver; you wouldn't understand."

He whispered,

"But your figure is truly not bad; very moist!"

The little rose?! She knew it!

"Thank you for saving me again!"

Liu Bei always felt that the girl's thanks weren't particularly sincere.

The little rose lay on the bed, recalling the scene of being saved by Liu Bei during the day, and her face instantly turned red. Those large hands, that sense of power, were hard to forget.

"Damn it, is he sent by God to test me!"

Over the next few days,

Liu Bei escorted the little rose through the orphanages of King's Landing, delivering food and gold dragons. The little rose, taking the populist route, also gained quite a lot.

This day,

The Tyrell family held a dance.

The Queen of Thorns invited many socialites in the city to attend.

The little rose was chatting with Sansa, her eyes wandering everywhere, and finally saw Liu Bei surrounded by her cousins, instantly turning sour.

"Damn it, I knew he was there!"

Sansa?

"Margaery, what's wrong with you?"

The women over there were chattering.

"Baron Cas, my tolerance for alcohol is very poor; I get drunk after one cup. Will you drink with me!"

"Baron Cas, I heard your swordsmanship is about the same as Loras'. Teach me, won't you?"

"How can you be so handsome, your muscles are so developed," a bold girl reached out directly.

The little rose couldn't watch anymore.

"Cas, as a guard, what exactly are you doing!"

Liu Bei looked up and revealed a brilliant smile.

"The old lady asked me to chat more with the young ladies."

The little rose felt unhappy in her heart. Grandmother was too fast; her own guard, to be arranged away so quickly?!

Sansa saw Liu Bei's appearance, and her eyes couldn't help but light up. So handsome!

Liu Bei looked at Sansa.

"You must be Sansa Stark; your father was a true knight."

Sansa remembered her father who had died tragically, and her eyes turned red.

"Thank you."

Liu Bei respected Ned's character, but unfortunately, his education of his children was not very successful. He didn't teach the intrigue of the nobles, but instead raised Sansa to be a naive, beauty-obsessed girl.

If Ned were an ordinary noble, there would be no big problem with chivalry.

But he was the Warden of the North and had served as Hand of the King. His political maneuvering was far worse than Tywin's or the Queen of Thorns', and he couldn't even compare to Cersei or Littlefinger.

If one cannot outmatch others, the fate of the Wolf family seems only logical.

Ned himself was only the second son of the Wolf family. After his father and brother were killed, he accidentally became Duke and had not been trained as an heir before.

Sansa left her best friend and chatted enthusiastically with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei told them some interesting stories about the Eastern Continent, making these young girls giggle.

The little rose was numb, secretly cursing Liu Bei for being a scumbag!

"How could Grandmother value him? He's a total playboy! He's already targeting Sansa. Why am I the only one who sees through his nature?" ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
